What about the somewhat inconvenient fact that medical science, which has saved
more lives that Hippocrates could ever hope to, doesn't?

What about the inconvenient fact that cubes have three axes and six faces while
squares don't?

Just as your three-axis measurement of psychometric space is made silly by many
different psychometric models having various different numbers of axes, your
one-dimensional politics is made ignorant and naive by the Libertarians' quite
logical characterization of political parties along two axes.

If actually answered what people said instead of going off on barely related
tangents, people might like you better.

The "Bicameral/Two-Party System" is not a theorem of mathematics, nor is it a
scientific hypothesis. It is an anomalous and artificially maintained construct
designed to concentrate political power in two mutually antagonistic entities
that are quite aware that the rise of alternative political parties would lead
to their eventual marginalization. Most other civilized countries have about
twice as many political parties as the US, and most have far better ratios of
citizen-to-representative.

The current political structure of the legislative branch United States federal
government, which only a few people pretend is a gift from God, has no
worthwhile contribution to your hypothesis.

Okay, now I know you're pulling our legs. This whole thing has got to be one
big colossal joke. (I'm glad the artist got so much money for it.)
