Brilliant and interesting. It was like listening and watching a good uni lecturer or a great Ted! It also allowed me to find my own place in the Octagon but I'm not sure whether finding my place on the political spectrum helps me in any way or what purpose it serves other than in trying to explain my position to others. Having said that, I feel like I spend too much time running around your octagon in random directions!
Probably even more complex, but would a sphere be a more accurate model to use? I just feel that extremes of anything are the closest connection to each other.
I absolutely hope you make a good living out of this stuff :-)
Best wishes.
