Ethics test

[Ari Rahikkala]

Don't worry, cuije. kassiopeia will commit suicide because he isn't as good a thinker as we others are... A thinker like Simo Frangén.

[Kassiopeia]

LightEning, be sure to put that salt shaker back when you are finished with me and my psychological wounds.

[Kassiopeia]

I did the test again.

1. Yrittäjä Aira Samulin 73.0%
2. Kirjailija Kata Kärkkäinen 65.0%
3. Ministeri Jan-Erik Enestam 64.0%

Aira Samulin? The test must be awfully corrupt! I'm sure it's written in Same, and in Same "Aira Samulin" means "Simo Frangén". It must!

[Stefu]

Hahaha!

[Kassiopeia]

I even have an autograph from Frangén. It woud not be too bleeding much to ask for a personality even over 60 percent the same! I mean he's not even in the top three!

This is all good, right?

I'm assuming it mentions Mr 'Church of Satan' because thats who I scored LEAST as.

I recognize Habermas and Schopenhauer (although I'm not familiar with Schopenhauer's work), and I think that Anton LaVey was the fellow who founded the Church of Satan. Don't recognize anybody on the bottom.

Schopenhauer gave us the wonderful phrase 'Life without pain has no meaning'.

Are you a pessimist at all?.....

I thought I'd better start light. I got a book called "Machiavelli: a very short introduction" by Quentin Skinner (Prof of Modern History @ Cambridge). Haven't got very far yet, but basically summarised it seems Machiavelli's philosophy seems in the vain of "You have to be cruel to be kind" or "If you pull the plaster off quickly it won't hurt as long". Sounds fine to me.

I'd actually say that I'm quite optimistic. However, since I agree with Schopenhauer's phrase, it was probably pretty accurate for the test to rate him as high as it did on my results. (Have you ever read Orson Scott Card's Worthing Saga? The book puts that quote in a fairly optimistic perspective, IMO.)

The Prince, arguably his most famous work, is a pretty short read.

... but it's pretty boring too(although not as much as Fritz'ens Anti-Macchiavelli . Just read a short article about Macchiavelli in some encyclopedia and you'll get a clue
