Here it is:
The Ethics Incompleteness Principle holds that ethics rules don’t always work in anomalous situations. An Ethics Alarms rule is that internet memes are simple-minded agitprop, lazy ways for the uninformed and the critical thought-challenged to circulate pre-digested talking points and partisan distortions. I hate them.
But I was actually beginning work on a flow chart of the constantly changing arguments against the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh, and this magically appeared. (Pointer: Instapundit)
It’s perfect, fair, and true.
Bravo.
Ethics Alarms 
The flaw in this meme is the scale-less X-axis. If they skewed the X axis to actually equally represent time, you’d see a gradual increase in “severity” then a sudden massive ramp up in severity followed by a near immediate headlong dive into silliness.
No, that’s the flaw in the CHART. But the chart is just a device to make a more general point in the meme, which is true.
Good point.
Though, in fairness, there’s way more detail and information in the image…
Almost catapults it out of the “meme” range and into an actual argument.
It is a bit complex to be a good meme.
“the only good meme is a bad meme.”
Well Jack, I guess rules are made to broken, aren’t they. Even by ethicists when the situation presents itself. Great bell curve. Works for me!
Your insights and emails are one of the highlights of my day. I would love to hear your thoughts about the Jason Van Dyke trial here in Chicago…. Jody

That chart is creative. To its creator; well done!
Shouldn’t Michael Avenatti have larger presence on this chart? A third axis all his own? A fifth dimension? An overlay? Special Michael Avenatti glasses to read the chart? A Michael Avenatti decoder ring?

My favorite from that MTV era. Great syncopation. Great suit.
She’s so fine, there’s no tellin’ where the money went.
… look up ‘rick rolling’
In this whole fiasco, I envision the vast majority of the players embarrassing drama as being inside a swirling dust cloud of anger and fisticuffs, almost cartoon Tasmanian Devil like.
Michael Avenatti is an insignificant little guy off to the side, dressed like a clown, screaming “Guys, look at me, look at me! Could you please stop fighting and look at me!!!”
In that haircut, he looks pretty darned Machiavellian. Or like a UFC fighter. I wonder whether he’s on blood pressure medication.
At this point in time I’m convinced that the anti-Trump resistance and the social justice warrior cult has sunk so far into actual delusional thinking that they would knowingly vote for the Devil himself.
