    Default Taboo - Test your moral intuitions

    I was surprised by my results. I suppose the caveat is I have tended to be a scoundrel in my pursuit of the just.

    "There was no inconsistency in the way that you responded to the questions in this activity. You see very little wrong in the actions depicted in these scenarios. And anyway you indicated that an act can be wrong even if it is entirely private and no one, not even the person doing the act, is harmed by it. So, in fact, had you thought that the acts described here were entirely wrong there would still be no inconsistency in your moral outlook"

    woo hoo! No, actually, it's because this survey assumes that my responses to the questions asking me how I feel about something and how it is judged by my definition of Morality, and how I feel about something based on my personal feelings of right and wrong, are one and the same, and they aren't. I may agree that something is right or wrong acording to Morality, but that doesn't mean that I personally feel that same way. had it asked me if I gave a shit about conventional Morality or Moralistic thinking, the answer would have been No.

    You see very little wrong in the actions depicted in these scenarios. However, to the extent that you do, it is a moot point how you might justify it. You don't think that an act can be morally wrong if it is entirely private and no one, not even the person doing the act, is harmed by it. Yet the actions described in these scenarios are private like this and it was specified as clearly as possible that they didn't involve harm. Possibly an argument could be made that the people undertaking these actions are harmed in some way by them. But you don't think that an act can be morally wrong solely for the reason that it harms the person undertaking it. So even this doesn't seem to be enough to make the actions described in these scenarios wrong in terms of your moral outlook. It is a bit of a puzzle!

    There was no inconsistency in the way that you responded to the questions in this activity. You see very little wrong in the actions depicted in these scenarios. Where you have judged an act to be morally problematic, it is likely that you did so because you think that what makes it wrong comes from God or some other source of morality external to nature, society and human judgement. You indicated that an act can be wrong even if it is entirely private and no one, not even the person doing the act, is harmed by it. So, in fact, had you thought that the acts described here were entirely wrong, there would still be no inconsistency in your moral outlook.

    yeah the dead chicken sex one was one of two I got on my high horse about. I was in the same quadrant as Nautilus overall. I'll post a few more from that site when I have more time.
