[edit] Society, Politics, and Economics

I view these three topics as inextricably linked, therefore I do not attempt to distinguish between them when describing my own views.

• A libertarian socialist, with anarcho-syndicalist tendencies

• Liberal use of contraception
• Freedom of information
• Nonviolent direct action
• Libertarian socialism

[edit] Anti

• Abuse
• Affirmative action
• Corporatism
• Conservatism
• Software patents
• State capitalism
• Most conceptions of private property and ownership
• War in most cases

[edit] Science, Philosophy, and Religion

I do not view these topics as inextricably linked, but I group them together for simplicity.

[edit] I am...

• An agnostic atheist
• A coherentist
• A utilitarian

[edit] Pro

• Bayesianism
• The scientific method
• Open exchange, discussion, and debate of beliefs, without ensuing violence or hate crimes

[edit] Anti

These results are taken from this site, and suggest that I am economically communalist and politically anti-authoritarian. I regard these results as giving a reasonably good general indication of my views. I may retake the test at some future point to test for precision and repeatability.
