kinda, though of course, there are asymmetries between powerful and weak citizens, or between bosses and employees. This is why, this relational way of thinking about it is a derivative/extrinsic way, and my initial set of 2 attribute lists was more about intrinsic modes

Like, I think you can be vertical or horizontal all by yourself on a desert island depending on how you behave, integrate your experiences, try to grow, etc. If you prefer, it's almost synonymous with fox/hedgehog. Fox = horizontally integrated personality, hedgehog=vertical.

More radical. You don’t need vertical waypoints to make a horizontal trajectory. Nomad caravans are not homes being uprooted and re-founded repeatedly… they have wheels. Renters typically move more frequently but not because they buy/sell houses more often. They lease.

I can’t tell if I have an orientation one way or another because I can’t get a handle on what your horizontal thing even is. That could mean I’m so horizontal I can’t see it, or so vertical I can’t see it, or something else.

You’re definitely more V than H, but rather than being pure V, I think you feed your V and starve your H. I’ve often read some of your blog posts and wished you’d go further down a bunnytrail, but you seem to rein in distraction strongly to return to your Big Things

2 of your posts made it to yak collective online governance study group reading list in the past year… hoe culture and hierarchies-wealth thing… you’re on the anarchist track. I suspect you classify both as digressions.

I meant digressions within posts. I think the hoe-culture post was maybe 60-80% stuff I’d still stand behind now and think was new/informative to my readers, and the hierarchies-wealth thing was more like 30%.
