Evidently, I'm a complete slut and don't really mind that quality in others.


Seems like a lot of questions to get to a pretty obvious answer.


My new version of this test is to yell.

"Hey ho."

If you said, "What?" Well, there you go.

Dude, you have recent history that would understandably color anyone's stance on "inforcibilty" and such. I was an intolerable bore on the subject of personal ethics for about two years after my fiancee ran off with the handy-man, so don't feel like the lone ranger if you're riding a higher horse for a little while. The human heart occilates, if it were rotary, transitions would be a lot smoother, but until they perfect that particular technology, you're going to have some ups and downs.

Your Moralising Quotient is: 0.00.

Your Interference Factor is: 0.00.

Your Universalising Factor is: -1.

Your Moralising Quotient is an aggregate measure of your tendency to condemn the actions described in these scenarios as morally wrong. A score of 1.00 indicates a fully moralising position. A score of 0.00 is a fully permissive response. (See below for more on these.)

Your Interference Factor is an aggregate measure of your tendency to judge the actions described here as being the legitimate target of societal interference in the form of prevention or punishment. A score of 1.00 indicates that you think that every act described in these scenarios is subject to societal interference. A score of 0.00 indicates that you think that these acts are essentially a private matter, and that societal interference is inappropriate.

A score of -1 means that you saw no moral wrong in any of the activities depicted in these scenarios, and so it is not possible for this activity to determine the extent to which you see moral wrongdoing in universal terms.

This is a silly question... incest is taboo for very specific reasons... procreation (and the potential for genetic degredation) and inheiritence rights... beyond that, sex is sex... so long as both parties are in agrrement, and both parties are capable of making that sort of decision (IE no kids, no mentally challenged folks)...

Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if this "test" wasn't designed solely for the purpose of asking that question...

Seems to me, remembering from my Anthro 101, incest is the only universal taboo among human cultures, but it's defined differently. In some cultures, mating with anyone in your clan is incest, even if you can't trace kinship. Some it's the same village. Others, cousins aren't even related to you (culturally). The taboo has almost nothing to do with genetic diversity, except in modern, technological cultures, which most of the world is not. There has been some sort of incest taboo for thousands of years, but we've only known about genetics for a century or so. In the past and continuing into modern times, the incest taboo has been about trade and relationships. (Yes, inheiritance is one of those. )

Hmmm. Facts... yeah, I can't work with those...

So, when I'm in Kauai later this year, can I come hunt chickens with you...
