Biomimictarian

An advocate of the political ideology whose blueprint for governing is the imitation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems.
The biomimictarian mentioned that if you want to take in immigrants whilst you have welfare state; you should take mithridatism into account, to preclude the welfare state from becoming overwhelmed; yet if you fight shy of a welfare state you may be able to take advantage of an open borders policy and ergo explode your GDP.

Compassionate quasi-libertarian

A dilettante who is interested in libertarianism, but would more often than not break with the philosophy, politics, and economics of libertarianism for supposed compassionate reasoning ; that comes from an opposing camp. They're a believer in the political doctrine that is libertarianism which emphasizes individual liberty and a lack of governmental regulation, intervention, and oversight both in matters of the economy and in personal behavior where no one’s rights are being violated or threatened. Yet they are quick to cede their beliefs to appease opposing camps or to maintain supposed good optics.

This compassionate quasi-libertarian is oft associated with girouettism The practice of frequently altering one's views and opinions to follow current trends, bandwagonism The tendency to jump on the bandwagon, i.e. to join a craze or trend, sometimes for profit, or with someone who is dangerously softhearted or affrighted to argue into the weeds about into the trade offs, consequentialism, rule utilitarianism, etc.
The compassionate quasi-libertarian was scared to mention the third variable effect where this "Z" that wasn't mentioned in the study the debaters were discussing was more likely to influence "A" rather than "B" that was mentioned in the study, but the compassionate qusai-libertarian was scarred that he'd be accused of not wanting to help "A"; albeit, in his heart he believes that intervening with "B" wouldn't help "A" and if only the got around to intervening with "Z" instead of "B" than everything would be swell.

Yes Elvira, the gnosophile, was also a big time trivia nerd -- I mean of course she was being trivia nerd sort of goes with the territory of being a gnosophile.
