The Enlightenment Test

[ForumGuy]

Rather reminds me of Satanism. Screw the people you view as "weak and worthless", since you can't see God, obviously he doesn't like and shouldn't be followed, and an all knowing being would be incapable of planning reality.
And Pride is good. And Lust causes no harm, and is good for the mind.
Yeah, no

MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 03 (0-4): borderline Enlightened. Purgatory; the countercultural realm. The more interesting Atheists, Libertarians, Transhumanists, and Modern Satanists dwell here, together with other freethinking and politically incorrect types. Congratulations, you're just a couple candles short of Enlightenment! Keep honing those clearly present rational, taboo-smashing instincts, and one day you too might become an Enlightened Transtopian Master.

Yes, when I took the quiz I thought to myself: "this seems like a cross between transhumanism and Satanism". I have to wonder if the guy was influenced by Satanism.

Given the fact that for whoever wrote this quiz--not to mention a fair few other members of the 'intellectual [sic] elite'--'enlightenment' is clearly just a misnomer he uses to enforce his own ignorant and foolish views on the rest of the world, I'm very proud to say that I scored 0 out of 4.

MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 0 (0-4): seriously sub-par. Cocytus, the deepest level of (ideological) Hell where the truly ignorant, (borderline) insane, and hopelessly superstitious spend their days in total darkness and misery. Terrible bloody show.

In copying and pasting the results of my quiz, I was given access to all the scores.

cookie_name = "dataCookie";
var score;

function getName() {
if(****************)
{
index = ****************.indexOf(cookie_name);
if (index != -1)
{
namestart = (****************.indexOf("=", index) + 1);
nameend = ****************.indexOf(";", index);
if (nameend == -1) {nameend = ****************.length;}
score = ****************.substring(namestart, nameend);
return score;
}
}
}

score=getName();
if (score == "dataCookie")
{
document.write("There has been an error processing your results. Please explore the rest of our site.");
}

if(score<14)
{
document.write("MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 0 (0-4): seriously sub-par. Cocytus, the deepest level of (ideological) Hell where the truly ignorant, (borderline) insane, and hopelessly superstitious spend their days in total darkness and misery. Terrible bloody show.");
}

if(score > 13 && score < 29)
{
document.write("MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 01 (0-4): average. More than a few candles short of Enlightenment. The sheepish, conformist, intellectually lazy masses reign supreme here. Hell's overcrowded livingroom.");
}

if(score > 28 && score < 43)
{
document.write("MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 02 (0-4): above-average. A mixed bag of genuine wisdom and deeply ingrained taboos & irrational hangups. The domain of either conservative or politically correct (armchair) philosophers and people who can't make up their frickin' minds (oh, and let's not forget the puerile LAMERS who hit 'score it' without changing/reading anything; you know who you are...). Limbo." );
}

if(score > 42 && score < 57)
{
document.write("MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 03 (0-4): borderline Enlightened. Purgatory; the countercultural realm.

}

if(score > 56)
{

[b4uris]

I got Level 1. I don't regret that, but the fact I went through the whole thing.

Looks like I'm enlightened...

But then I get the idea that this was CRAP.

 

[Latreia]

Out of curiousity, I just left it as it was, on all Maybe's, and got scored:


MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 02 (0-4): above-average. A mixed bag of genuine wisdom and deeply ingrained taboos & irrational hangups. The domain of either conservative or politically correct (armchair) philosophers and people who can't make up their frickin' minds (oh, and let's not forget the puerile LAMERS who hit 'score it' without changing/reading anything; you know who you are...). Limbo.

Actually, this statement reveals an Achelles Heel, the guy knows this test is going to be appraised as biased and puerile, so he attacks first and I find that funny.

Therefore, his test reveals him, not others. As to whether his name is Achelles, not a clue.

 

[ToddNotTodd]

I got this:

MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 5 (0-4): Hyper-Enlightened. You are the most arrogant $%^& on the face of the Earth!

The testor is obviously a blackguard, scoundrel, and reprobate. He just don't have no Report button.....Fiendish....


:weird:

Yes, when I took the quiz I thought to myself: "this seems like a cross between transhumanism and Satanism". I have to wonder if the guy was influenced by Satanism.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, a couple of the questions have pretty near parallels in the Satanic Bible. Seems to me, though, that most of the questions are designed more to espouse the answer s/he wants you to pick and slander the answer s/he opposes. That, to get a top score, all you half to do is agree with everything doesn't improve my opinion of this person's 'enlightenment', either. On the other hand, s/he anticipates all the things we've said about him/her at one place or another on the site, so maybe there's more wisdom to this than would appear.

(Man, keeping pronouns gender-neutral is a huge pain. This dude/chick certainly has a point about political correctness, if nothing else.)

 

[HummingbirdSong]

These people seem like the lunatic fringe of the transhumanist movement. (Extropianism is an example of a much more rational part of that movement.)

Anyway, this "quiz" is clearly a statement of what the Transtopians really believe. My score is:

MEMETIC SHOCK LEVEL 02 (0-4): above-average. A mixed bag of genuine wisdom and deeply ingrained taboos & irrational hangups. The domain of either conservative or politically correct (armchair) philosophers and people who can't make up their frickin' minds (oh, and let's not forget the puerile LAMERS who hit 'score it' without changing/reading anything; you know who you are...). Limbo.

Oh no! I don't agree with them totally, so I have irrational hangups!

That's what I scored too. Funny, since my user CP states my location is "Limbo."

Right on the mark, this one.

 

[ErikAlt]

So I should probably be worried, because I got level 4? I actually agreed with most of the points...
