A friend sent me this link... Sort of interesting, even if I don't necessarily like the phrasing on a lot of the questions/answers. I thought it might be interesting to see where people are coming from with their arguments. Anyway, here it is.

I need to go back through and think about these more, this was just a quick guess.

Edit: Knowing a little about Rand suggests to me I made a mistake on a couple 😉

That doesn't suprise me at all. Rand believed in a government of the right philosophy, and so do you. 😉

BTW, I'm Kantian all the way.

Interesting test/poll. Some of the questions took repeated reads to comprehend and some of the answers seem to be missing the occassional word. Lots of fun doing it though.

Damn, I wonder what you do to get Sartre?

Haha charlie, you have more Rand than I do. Nya nya!

Edit: While cruising around Off Topic, I figured out the thinker that sums up my ethical philosophy the best: Capt Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise.

What's frightening is that I'm only partly kidding.
