Take the test & find out...

Test isn't the word is it?

It's "Agree with my rant or you're a sheep, you loser"

So if you think sex is better than wanking (XXII) , you're a sheep.

I hope this lot stick to wanking and die out before the Singularity or second coming or whatever it is.

They seem to be driven by a serious fear and loathing of other people and that is dangerous.

Not this crap again...

You can just ignore the adjectives. I scored a 3 which said I was an interesting Atheist or maybe Libertarian, which is partly true. Of course it said I "was not yet a perfect person..." etc etc etc. But I disregarded that crap.

This doesn't look very serious to me....this is getting kicked to General Religious Discussions, only because I'm not quite sure if this warrents an ~E~ boot. I'll let the mods there decide-- *shazzam!*

I stopped at number two. I can't answer this question because it has two parts that I have two different answers for.

Part one: "Most "traditional" morals and ethics should be rejected as they, instead of being useful tools for personal growth and empowerment, only make life more difficult than it already is."

I pretty much agree with this, although I do realize that there are some "traditional" morals that are sound pretty good with me (Hey, you! Yeah, we'd like it if you tried to not kill anyone. Thanks!). The best answer I would be able to give from the three options is "Maybe."

Part two: "From a rational individual's perspective, the "good" is that which serves his enlightened self-interest (open-ended existence under the best possible conditions), and the "bad" that which is detrimental to this goal."

I don't agree with this because I think that some "good" things can serve one's self, but most of the more worthwhile "good" things would serve others along with one's self. The best answer I can give here is "No."

This test is very poorly thought-out. Hey, here's a question for you: "Have you ever tried sugar or PCP?" YES or NO.

Aren't all "tests", certainly philosophical and political ones, (more or less by definition) based on this principle? It's always about agreeing / disagreeing with someone's ideas, someone's worldview. Get over it, <deleted>!

If you think sex is good and/or have it simply because of peer & media pressure, then yes, you're a dumb conformist sheep. If it's genuinely your own choice, then you're merely being careless and impractical.

Unfortunately, most people deserve to be either feared or loathed, often both.

Ah well, guess I missed that one. Can never get too much enlightenment, though, and judging by the number of hits so far it looks like not everybody was exposed the first time around. A big board like this must have plenty of turnover, so periodic reruns, especially of such essential memeage, are more than justified.
