Spoiler: Commentary

I am a consequentialist, and believe only the ends of an action matter; the intent and means are irrelevant.

I am a rational egoist and believe that it is rational to act in one's own self interest, but not necessarily moral to do so.

I let rationality decide my actions as opposed to any particular moral system, though if i were to define my moral system it would be:

• Good: Any action that has a net positive payoff for me.
• Bad: Any action that has a net negative payoff for me.

is this test credible ?
is it ???

 

Meh. What are morals? Can you eat them? are they tasty? I hope they're tasty! I'm starting hungry thinking of them!
On a more serious note, I left all my answers as "dislike all answers"

 

Hobbes 100%, really? That's interesting. I'm no expert on either Hobbes or political theory, but as far as your moral philosophy goes, I would think you have far too many conflicts for that number.

Do you personally agree with that number?

 

My philosophy is cats are the true rulers of the universe and humans exist for the sole purpose of serving our great purrfect overlords.

 

Of course. Its the internet. Its real. My internet test high IQ result is proof.
