Entertaining. I exited the window after I finished before I could think to copy and paste it here, but I remember it saying I agreed with Aristotle and Max Weber about certain things.

"You're fairly forgiving, at heart; you agreed with the robin more than the blackbird, and you don't like blaming people for their decisions.

You value pleasure, but not at the cost of everything else - there are clear limits to how far you'll take the pursuit of enjoyment.

If you're looking to investigate some philosophers you agree with, there are a few places you can look. You could try David Hume, who agrees with you on the nature of desire. You and Aristotle feel the same way about weak will. And Max Weber feels similarly to you with regard to whether it's possible to be too rational."


Fun game. My Dad used to quote Hume on occasion (largely to annoy my brother, in fairness). So the fact that I apparently agree with him on some things seems pretty appropriate.

This is time consuming though. It's worth the ride, but don't do it at 11pm when you have ironing to do and work in the morning.

You've explored the castle. You've made your choices. And here's what we know about you:

'You're fairly forgiving, at heart; you agreed with the robin more than the blackbird, and you don't like blaming people for their decisions.

You value pleasure unusually highly: for you, enjoyment is very important.



If you're looking to investigate some philosophers you agree with, there are a few places you can look. You could try David Hume, who agrees with you on the nature of desire. You, Socrates and Thomas Hobbes all feel similarly about weak will. And Max Weber feels similarly to you with regard to whether it's possible to be too rational.

And if you want to challenge your opinions and seek out people you instinctively disagree with, there are plenty of them as well. You think very differently to Aristotle and Epicurus about whether desires can be rational. You disagree with Aristotle about weak will. You disagree with John Rawls about collective responsibility''

You're a pretty harsh judge; you agreed with the blackbird more often than the robin, and you're quite willing to declare someone irrational or say that they made the wrong decision. Sometimes you judge people harshly, sometimes you're forgiving; sometimes you're happy to declare someone irrational, and at other times you're willing to make allowances for them. You agreed with the robin and the blackbird about the same amount.

You value pleasure, but not at the cost of everything else - there are clear limits to how far you'll take the pursuit of enjoyment.

This is spot on, to be honest. I see things as very much black/white, rational/irrational.

That shit gave me a headache.

Chill out, blackbird.
