    Default What philosophy do you follow? (Quiz)

    I scored somewhere between the following two:

    Existentialism: You choose the meaning and purpose of your life.

    “Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.” --Jean-Paul Sartre

    “It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.” --Blaise Pascal

    and

    Utilitarianism: You seek the greatest good for the greatest number.

    “The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.” --Jeremy Bentham

    “Whenever the general disposition of the people is such, that each individual regards those only of his interests which are selfish, and does not dwell on, or concern himself for, his share of the general interest, in such a state of things, good government is impossible.” --John Stuart Mill

    ps. Fuck Mill, he was just a little bitch pandering to the religous right. it's the old philosophy of selfless sefishness practiced by all moral order- virtue for propriety, out of fear of reprocution. not virtue for it's own self evidence. even socrates knew better than that.

    "What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil."
    -F W Nietzsche

    I'm a existenstialist first and a hedonist second. hahaha. I think this quiz is a little misguided because like most philosophies they take into account alot of what you do and think and very little WHY you do that. and that makes a big difference. cuz two people can do and think the same thing for two very different reasons.
    If psychoanalysis was one of the choices I probibly would have gotten that, and laughed more.

    A little surprised i scored so low on Nihilism. and Egotism, at that. would have called myself a 'modified Kantianist' without the test.

    Face the facts. Then act on them. It's the only mantra i know, the only doctrine i have to offer you, and it's harder than you'd think, because i swear humans seem hardwired to do anything but. Face the facts. Don't pray, don't wish, don't but into centuries-old dogma or dead rhetoric. Don't give in to your conditioning or your visions or your fucked-up sense of... whatever. FACE THE FACTS. THEN act.

    of course. face YOUR facts.

    the idea is, the world is opaque and nonsensical enough already without you putting any more filters or slants or mental blocks of your own on it.

    i'll go with this... the only thing that seems to be overlooked in this mentality is the comprimise between having fun in the moment and putting the work in now so you can continue to have fun later... aka "work hard to play hard"
