Tenderness is loosely correlated with "morality". High tenderness means you want to help the poor, and low tenderness means you want to sterilize the disabled.

What's with judging people for doing fun stuff Dx

Seriously, what do people have against human experimentation?

You can truly call it that if you perform it upon the disabled?

[Cheeetar]

Hrm. It seems supporting transhumanism lowered my tenderness.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear communist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a humanist.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with many strong convictions.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

[Descan]

That's odd. The only question about human genetics was that I said "Strongly Agree" with the one about "t would be wonderful if we could improve humanity using genetic manipulation."

But the ones about breeding or the disabled I was "strongly disagree" so... :V

If they're saying that *any* human augmentation is bad and I should feel bad, then they're a bunch of cocks.


Edit: @Cheetar: Yes, that's what I am saying exactly, about transhumanism lowering tenderness, despite my transhumanism being as much *about* tenderness as anything else, wanting to help everyone, yeah.

Eh, eugenics is pretty much transhumanism but slightly less possible to perform without Isrealing everyone like they're a bunch of Palestinians.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a libertarian.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a uncompromising radical egalitarian with several strong convictions.

Pretended to be American, but my Europeanness still shows, making me appear right-wing. I'm central center, dammit! And compared to my peers I'm certainly not sceptical of religion. Well, sceptical of the American brand, but that's hardly the same thing.
And to be fair, libertarian_American is roughly equal to liberal_European, which is how I'd describe myself. Has to be the right flavor of liberal, though - not neo-somethingsomething.

Last paragraph is spot-on, though.

What's with all the communists socialists what's-called-socialist-in-this-test people around here?

NINJAEDIT: Dutch, what the hell?

[Glloyd]

Hrm. It seems supporting transhumanism lowered my tenderness.

I also supported transhumanism and got dinged for it. Because apparently it's not tender. Even though I answered strongly disagree to the eugenics questions. I think it is tender in its own way, because it's improving humanity. At least in my eyes.

But you miss the point there. The disabilities would ruin the results. No, we use any illicit third children to run experiments, and let the disabled die off for the betterment of the gene pool.

_______________

The biggest problem with society-improving systems such as population control or human artificial selection is that the current collective human psychology is incompatible with these things. (The second problem is that one can't trust humans to actually select for traits which better the gene pool, which is why the Nazis couldn't eugenics.) Humanity is still dominated by genetic self-interest.

[Descan]

I don't want eugenics or "artificial human selection" or anything like that, I want basically sci-fi style genetic modification and mechanical/nano-mechanical augmentation of the adult human body according to the wishes of the human being augmented. :V

The biggest problem with eugenics is not that they don't work, is that to make them work you have to commit stellar levels of evil, coercion and murder, to achieve even a small thing. 

[Dutchling]

You mean you want ferric sexual appendages?

[Helgoland]

Couldn't we just hand out free birth control along with welfare? It works as long as we assume income is positively correlated with some desirable traits and negatively correlated with none.

[Descan]

... I think we should hang out free birth control to everyone, though, and let them decide whether to use it or not? I don't really care who breeds, the more minds there are the better. Why I'm getting into biomedical engineering is so that we can augment the body and the mind so that you're not bound by your birth genetics or genetic destiny. I don't care to try and change the genetic destiny, I want to do away with it altogether.

and i don't even know what Dutchling is asking, if he's not just being Dutching here.

[Dutchling]

I don't see that ever happening in Europe.

Too many people would see it as eugenics regardless.
