Does one do it pairwise (temperance+ gluttony, justice + wrath, courage + vanity?,…) or is it more like some cubic utility function? ;-)

Remember that the Klein effect (whether contemporaneous or lagged) should be measured as a net, not gross, effect.

The maps may be showing the “infection” pattern in the social networks _after_ the travel dates. The more virulent the strain (e.g. pride) that the vector carries, the broader the infection. Send this on to Malcolm Gladwell, his next book should be built around this.

They must have surveyed when Peter was on one of his many trips in the envious and prideful pursuit of greed and gluttonous consumption. I had best be careful of his wrath!

Just imagine the “How greedy is my next door neighbor?” searches!
