You know those charts which graph your political ideologies in a two dimensional space?
I was trying really hard to write a post on how Macroeconomics should, should not, has, and has not been done. It got long.

Not as good as XKCD but the self reflection did illuminate some surprising things I never realized about myself before. I am really, really, really bothered by Platypusai.

Please note that if you were try to draw some indifference curves through that creepy/cheesy space, you'd get to the problem of non convex preferences, and possibly satiation point, very quickly (I'm not sure of what I'd like more of; Uriah Heep or Alaric the Visigoth).
UPDATE: This one's updated to be more about economics:
