cei-cli

Score any public figure on the Cultural Extremity Index — a deterministic five-axis ideology profiler powered by Wikipedia.

No sign-up. No API keys. Just a name.

Requirements

You need Node.js installed. If you don't have it:

• Go to nodejs.org
• Download the LTS version and install it
• Restart your terminal

That's it.

Usage

Option 1 — Run once (no install required, npx downloads it automatically):

npx epsilver-cei "Name Here"

Option 2 — Install globally and use anytime:

npm install -g epsilver-cei

Then just:

cei "Name Here"

Examples:

cei "Noam Chomsky"
cei "Jordan Peterson"
cei "Taylor Swift" --first

--first skips the search result selector and picks automatically.

What it does

Fetches the Wikipedia article for the person, runs it through a heuristic keyword scoring engine, and outputs a CEI score across five axes:

Axis	What it measures
Establishment	Alignment with institutional power
Justice	Emphasis on rights and equity
Tradition	Nationalism and heritage framing
Conflict	Tolerance for confrontation
Rigidity	Absolutism and rejection of compromise

The final CEI score (0–100) reflects overall ideological deviation from center. Primary Lean is either Woke (progressive) or Chud (reactionary).

No LLMs. No black boxes.

All scoring is deterministic keyword matching. Same input always produces the same output. You can read exactly how it works at culturalextremityindex.com.
