Paul Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement was created by Manu

Wikipedia wrote: Graham proposed a "disagreement hierarchy" in a 2008 essay "How to Disagree",[20] putting types of argument into a seven-point hierarchy and observing that "If moving up the disagreement hierarchy makes people less mean, that will make most of them happier." Graham also suggested that the hierarchy can be thought as a pyramid, as the highest forms of disagreement are rarer.




Pyramid
The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
The realist adjusts the sails.
- William Arthur Ward

I stand with the plebians and common folk at the base of the pyramid, supporting all the elitist jerks above us with the strength of our backs and the sweat of our brows.
