Philosophical Games
 

Found a neat site searching for philosophy on the Beeb engine.

God bless Auntie!

Wow, some excelent links, thank you!

The philiosophical healthcheck is a cool idea.

See if your view of life contradicts itself in places.

I'm contradiction free!

I also liked Battleground God, which is a similar idea, except that it focuses solely on your views on God.

Have a look at 'So You Think You're Logical' too. The results of other people's tests are fascinating, if a little scary.

This is pretty cool. It really makes me think. Than you very much for showing it to me.

Some of those questions are worded quite strangely. I mis-selected due to one of the questions.

From Battleground God -
"As long as there are no compelling arguments or evidence that show that God does not exist, atheism is a matter of faith, not rationality."

THats a tough one.

I thought both "tests" were pretty cool and definitely interesting. And I like Eviltree's mandala.

I like Battleground God.

I'm an Atheist and got one "bite the bullet." and no "Direct hits." Pretty good.

I played the Battleground God game and almost ended up in a fist-fight with my monitor.

I mean, given the choice between admitting you're wrong or admitting that you're definitely wrong, what would you choose?

Tension Quotient = 47%

Just wanted to bump this thread because I love these games and I think they've added a new game or two in the last couple of years. Morality Play and Taboo are my personal favorites. Has anybody been able to get to the end of Dealing with Induction or am I just missing some philosophical message about it being unsolvable? Somehow, I get the feeling that I'm just not smart enough to solve it...

There's a good reason why I never chose to become a Catholic priest.

Here's my result from the Taboo test.

If it's a red 'x' then the picture shows that I am fully permissive.... even when it comes to dead-chicken-sex

I got there with two mistakes. It's a helluva lot harder than I thought it would be, but not impossible, though it seems that way for a while.

Tension Quotient = 7%: Better than I thought I'd do...

yay me
 

Guess I'm in the 7.53% minority.

Just took the Battleground God and came out without a scratch. It was, however, pretty predictable that they'd fire the difficult questions last.

Do-it-yourself Deity was pointless for me, they didn't come close to what my arguments were for choosing the ones I did.

Taboo test:
Your Moralising Quotient is: 0.00.
Your Interference Factor is: 0.00.
Your Universalising Factor is: -1.

On battleground God, I bit 1 bullet, and got hit once, though it was a matter of interpretation.

I'll do the rest later, it gets draining. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
