Serious / "Moral Considerations" test - really fucking short.« on: September 14, 2014, 01:51:07 PM »
I'll put the results in spoilers. This is based on the work of Jonathan Haidt, who's extensively studied political implications of morality.
You must rate them from 0 to 4.5, in intervals of 0.5 in how important they are in moral considerations, and I will post the average results in spoilers. Then, you'll tell us which group you're closest to in moral considerations. Being a "moral conservative" doesn't necessarily infer you must be politically conservative. Spoiler So rate them as 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 or 4.5. Care/Harm Foundation: Protecting others from harm and being empathetic towards fellow humans. Usually follows with protecting them from abstract oppression like poverty or hunger. Justice/Fairness Foundation: Treating people in proportion to their actions. Can be associated with things like advocacy for a living wage or, on the flip side, capital punishment. Such results are usually contingent on your score for the care foundation. Loyalty/Ingroup Foundation: Devotion to an associated group, such as family, nation, community. Authority/Respect: Taking things like tradition and certain authorities - like parents, the State, the law, a police officer - seriously and paying them due respect; in other words, how disturbed you are by people who act in an apparently flagrant or disrespectful manner to objects or agents of authority. Sanctity/Purity: Avoidance of degrading things like actions - such as promiscuous behaviour - or foods - like GMOs. Also, making certain things sacred (such as the Constitution, for a civil example) or the Bible, or the Flag et cetera and whether or not somebody disgraces "sacred" objects. Liberal Results Care - 3.7 Fairness - 3.8 Loyalty - 2 Authority - 1.8 Sanctity - 1.3 Conservative Results Care - 2.9 Fairness - 3.2 Loyalty - 2.8 Authority - 3.1 Sanctity - 2.4 Libertarian Care - 2.6 Fairness - 3.2 Loyalty - 2.1 Authority - 1.7 Sanctity - 1 I came out as closer to Conservatives. 13182

So, unless you declare yourself an anti-natalist, you can't make the "right to choose" argument. It's internally inconsistent and hypocritical to do so.Out of interest, if a person were to absolutely declare that his parents made the right choice - almost like an ex post declaration of consent - would that absolve the parents of any wrongdoing? 13200
