Total ordering doesn’t mean that the order is strict though. You can have multiple individuals with the same level of gayness.
Total ordering means all elements are comparable (=< would be a suitable relation), not that all elements have their individual rank (< relation).
A spectrum implies that the set is totally ordered but not necessarily strictly ordered.
You could also read it differently nowadays 15 years later with all the emissions scandal. Probably wouldn’t want to trust Volkswagen with such statements huh.

I would however point out that although I also don’t like the binary aspect of their blurb, I find that I would quite agree with their final sentence. I don’t think the test shows whether we are a good or a bad person, but it does say something about a person’s ability to fit in a society.

The envy of the world? I mean it was always good system in principle but most countries in Europe are doing ok I think.
I didn’t get the first two pictures so yeah I would be interested to know
What view are they trying to counter here? I understand all the words of the post and I agree with the logic but I don’t see in what situation this argument is useful. Perhaps I’m lucky not to have been exposed to the people for whom it would be useful…
Edit: I saw some very clear answers to my questions after scrolling down a bit. I think I just didn’t understand what the term “systemic” meant here.
Exactly.
And India doesn’t have chillies add Italy doesn’t have tomatoes… Where do we stop?
