I so rarely do online quizzes, but this one caught my eye.  It has questions like: “Morals are socially constructed” and “Man is condemned to be free.” Agree or disagree? How much?

So I took it, and it told me I was an existentialist.  Which is fairly true, though there’s strong Taoist tendencies in me.  Perhaps I swayed a bit because I just finished reading Ayn Rand’s “The Fountainhead.”

You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Man is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

Thanks, Joey, for the pointer.

Overheard

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?

“ . . . the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage.”

Quiz your World View

 

Travis just took a quiz on World View which determined him to be an Existentialist. Curious, as always, I took it myself. Apparently I am a Postmodernist. The quiz basically summed up to your view on science, religion, progress and...

What's my worldview?



I'm glad you asked.



The world needs a new religion that balances the ideals of matriarchy and patriarchy with science.



Simple.
