I did not know Ayn Rand had an ethical system.
Mike found this. I like how you can weight the questions in the result. For instance if your forced to choose an answer, but don’t think the answer is highly relevant you can weigh the answer lower then the rest. Adds a bit of more depth.

Apparently i’m a follower of it. DAMN Nietzsche is 15… hehe i thought i might have been tainted by his philosophy, but apparently my beliefs have triumphed.
I’m not sure i agree with this completly.

haha dude kant? awesome.. you know he believes we should make our morals such that they are universal laws… similar to sartre… You should perform action a as though there were a universal law stating action a is moral… Means… ends… etc. Awesome. I’m more intrigued by this knowledge btw. Although i doubt it is a fully accurate description of your moral status, i think it demonstrates something… not sure what yet but something.. intriguing.

I like the new look. Mildly disturbing use of red. Makes the links really stand out, though. I like it!

I took the survey again and this is what I got the second time around: 1. Ayn Rand (100%) 2. David Hume (100%) 3. John Stuart Mill (99%) 4. Jean-Paul Sartre (97%) 5. Jeremy Bentham (90%) 6. Nietzsche (90%) 7. Thomas Hobbes (84%) 8. Cynics (78%) 9. Epicureans (78%) 10. Kant (78%) 11. Aristotle (75%) 12. Aquinas (74%) 13. Stoics (72%) 14. Prescriptivism (66%) 15. Plato (62%) 16. Ockham (52%) 17. Nel Noddings (44%) 18. Spinoza (40%) 19. St. Augustine (35%) I think the Ayn Rand thing must have to do with the weighting of the answers. I was feeling pretty ambivalent the first time, and I think I left all the weights in the middle. Now I too am an objectivist. What claptrap.

Ockham (26%) — the number of times one is willing to take a ridiculous ethics quiz appears to vary inversely with desire to grade critical argument papers.

yOU KNOW WHAT i JUST NOTICED????? Although we correlate to them in varying degrees, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US is in some kind of agreement with the SAME NINETEEN PHILOSOPHERS!!!! What are the chances? Had fun at the philosophy party, D-. Thanks again for the beer, R-. I wish I could have gone with you both to shoot pool. Did Korcz join you later? Saw my grades this morning and I got straight A’s! The unofficial transcript site is down though, so I don’t know what my final GPA is, but I think it’s 3.5. Not too shabby. Now if I can just figure out what I want to do when I grow up. I’m going to post the the photos from last night on my blog when I get home from work tonight.

about the new flash logo. how come when you zoom in what i had presumed was a nice pretty lil’ mayfly between the words of my handle it turns out to be a reptilian beast emblazoned with the words “Flight of the Dragon(TM)”? is somebody tryin’ to insinuate somethin’? *warming up my breath* 😈

Even though you may look like an innocent little may fly you are a deadly beast waiting to burn us to the ground. RUN FROM THE MAY FLY RUN FROM THE MAY FLY!!! Wilbur
