I just checked, she uses "he" or "him" in referring to all of the other characters. C is the only woman. You scared me for a second though.

You are so right. My bad.
You should get extra points in case your score turns out reeeally bad.

Sorry, but when someone starts talking about the "overmind" while mentioning objectivity, I tend to stick my head out the window and scream for a few...

There actually has to be an overmind, however, that has nothing to deal with a God god or g-d of any sort.

Objectively, in the very end...NOTHING matters. Which is why my point remains standing tall. Live, living is the only thing that matters. How one lives is up to the individual, because everything else is subjective.

That's pretty much psycho, imo, but totally for another thread. Things are not subjective, our experience of things are subjective. Even so, there's something called inter-subjectivity, and we create cultures and collective values, like morals which lead to societies.

To say that our experience is merely subjective, and so all that matters is to live, is to negate so much of the human experience and our evolution. It just seems a bit naive and foolish.

E because he listened to C and took pity on her predicament.
D because his love was so strong for C he felt something was wrong and couldn't sleep
A because he was more concerned about what he could do to get off the island
C because she loved her man she was willing to sacrifice something to be with her lover but failed to see the means did not justify the ends
B because he knew why C wanted the raft and exploited her desire and need to be with D to get what he wanted for no other reason than he wanted it.

KEY

Okay, guys. When you give this verbally, of course you have the person write the letters down, and then you fill them in using the key, stating this is the order in which these values are important to you.

I can't do that with each individual post, so you will need to do it yourselves, please.

These are the values of each person on the islands:


A: represents Intelligence.
He set emotions aside, and went straight to work with problem-solving.

B: represents Power
He had ability, he took control, and he made things happen.

C : represents Sex
If you have to ask, you're too young to know.

D: represents Morality
He held himself and her up to certain standards, and he did not tolerate being outside those standards.

E: represents Love
He gave to her unconditionally.




Aha, it's so easy to see, now, isn't it?


I decided to post the key now, otherwise I thought we might get so submerged in the variables and possible scenario's, that the Key could never live up to the in-depth evaluation which might be needed/expected.

I hope you enjoyed the little test.

There are no correct answers. Everything in this reality is completely subjective.
A - Hopes to use his intellect and genius to escape certain death.
B - Hopes to satisfy a biological and instinctual need he didn't ask for.
C - Hopes to reunite her heart and soul with her lover by sacrificing her physical being.
D - Hopes to free himself from an unexpected betrayal of unity by renouncing his love.
E - Hopes to share and live in unity.

Yeah, I know there aren't 'correct' answers. Just funnin' around, ya know?
Hey, those aren't the official answers the OP plans to give us are they?
If so, she's gonna be... at you!
Oh, maybe they're your choices. (They just seem so... in order, is why I ask!)

If you could actually attribute objective universal value to experience without considering a God, afterlife, over mind, or spiritual...then you would be the greatest philosophical mind of the 21st century.

You realize I gave two alternatives for you, a world with an overmind and one without. The one without means everything is truly for not and nothing truly matters, the world that contributes to an overmind finds it's value in experience. What I was saying with the second option is that what type of experience is more beneficial is almost forever moot with out limited understanding of the nature of things.

This conversation is for another thread.

Oh, no. Those were not my answers in order. I did 1)E 2)A 3)C 4)B,D
In that post I was simply stating that I believed that all of the answers had an angle and one really couldn't blame anyone for the choices they made.

Interesting indeed

So for me it was:
1.Love
2.Intelligence
3.Sex
4. Power/Morality

Are A's priorities indeed in order?

They are going to be stranded there for a while.

He will be screaming for something to do in about four days.

While he has his nose in wet metal and wires that may have washed ashore, they might be missing a boat going by or a plane over head.

Shouldn't someone start and man (forgive me C)... the fire?

reply to post by ladyinwaiting


So My results are in order of importance.....

E - Love
D - Morality
A - Intelligence
C - Sex
B - Power

Very interesting!

reply to post by ladyinwaiting


Hey, that was actually worth staying up too late!
Thanks... Do more of these!

Edit to Add:
Could "C" possibly be interpreted as "Sacrifice" ?
See, I just kind of thought she put up with the whole trade-off for sex to get help building the boat to risk life & limb to row across the water.... Her goal wasn't sex with B.

And no I was NOT one of those bratty kids who always argued with the teacher about test questions in school LOL!

I see no reason to like any of them.

Anyway:

B-Because he built the raft that may get them out of there
C-because she was the one who got B to make the raft
D-Because if it wasn’t for his love of C no raft would be built
A-because he will be the one who realizes the raft may get them outta there
E- He just wants to stay on the Island now that he is having his way with C

Exactly. And for me:

1. Intelligence
2. Love
3. Sex
4..Power
5. Morality.

Guys, I have given this little test to friends for years. Only ONCE have I had someone give "A" as their favorite, besides myself.

And tonight, "A" is all over the place as a favorite.
Who have I been hanging out with? lol. Everybody always likes "C", best.

So mine in order was, Intelligence, Love, Sex, Morality and Power last.


I would say that is an accurate assessment of the things I respect the most.

Note: Without the 0.05% of us that are actually intelligent or innovative. There would have been no ship. They would have all still be living in a cave.

This is about which one I would have liked better not which one is actually the better person.

E would probably be most likeable because he helped out someone in need, though I would like him better if he helped out D before C
D because he was an innocent party who was duped and betrayed. He needs a friend
A because he is likely smart and practical but I would never put him first because he is too snappy and self-ritious
B may be a manipulator but he is probably charming and entreprenuial.
C is weak, is untrustworthy, and a betrayer.

E and D would be pretty much a tie though.

Oops, sex last......nobody tell my hubby

reply to post by ladyinwaiting


Oh crap!! Im an unintelligent person that loves sex and power and has no morals. The truth really hurts.

second line...

Originally posted by ladyinwaiting




D: represents Morality
He held himself and her up to certain standards, and he did not tolerate being outside those standards.

The test is flawed.

D felt sorry for himself. He did nothing. C felt sorry for herself and did something. C is more moral than D, given the information provided.

In what way can the writer of the test POSSIBLY assume that D defines the value of morality?

If this is true, then I contest that you omitted some information from the test. Otherwise, the test is flawed.

Besides, if he loved C, then if D does define morality, then where is forgiveness? -- No, the author of the test assumes that forgiveness is not incorporated into morality which means the author has a distorted view of morality.

Again, I contest, the test is flawed.

Thanks for the fun, though.

Side note, the values, according to this test, in order, my preference, from most to least important :

1) Love
2) Intelligence
3) Power
4) Sex
5) Morality

does anyone see anything wrong with this picture, a little bit?

And I'm not talking about my weird grammar above the list...

So I don't trust LOVE
Balk at MORALITY
Dislike SEX
And choose POWER over INTELLECT.

Hmmmm...so close...

Before I posted I thought about just doing abcde but thought that too obvious. BTW people aught to give D a break. He did see his woman lay with another man. What is he supposed to do congratulate her.

reply to post by minettejo


I didn't like her either! lol.

C was my last pick and A was in the middle.

But I still wanna drown them all and live in solitude......
