You seem to have an image of me which is very far from the real me. I don't have a smart phone nor any social media profile. I enjoy running and visiting the forest. There wouldn't be forests inside an asteroid, but there certainly could be gardens. Actually one of the reasons I support space colonisation is that spreading the population across the Cosmos would relieve our pressure on the Earth's ecosystem.
I don't even particularly identify with Millennials, though I appreciate the civic traits of rationality, positivity and togetherness. I however don't like their social media conformity nor their excessive reliance on technology and I think their trust in institutional solutions rather than personal righteousness is misplaced.

Also, why stay at five? I've seen political tests with eight different axes. Why not make it an n-dimensional space, in which any combination is possible.
They are not axes, they are directions. It's not and never was intended to be a Nolan Chart clone.
It's hard to know where to put you knowing only your stance on two issues. What's your view on economics? Gay marriage? The idea of a World State? What do you consider the purpose of government and society in general?
