Wow, there has to be something very wrong with this test. You guys really don't seem like a bunch of flaming leftists to me.

Most people would immediately disagree, even though I don't think those that would would see the matter as that simple.


Why would most disagree with that statement?

If the test is based on American standards, it will make everyone else look like a hippy.

Maybe you're right, but I don't know. Corporations have very few apologists from my experiences.

I have a feeling that that's partially a problem with the test itself. Many of the questions that indicate an authoritarian/economically right orientation are of the kind that VERY FEW people in society would agree to. Others are directly lifted from the F-test and the Authoritarian Personality (like the odd questions about Abstract art and the 'fusion of information and entertainment'). Other questions, like these, few would agree with;

'If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.'

Most people would immediately disagree, even though I don't think those that would would see the matter as that simple.

'Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races.'

This one I would assume puts you up the authoritarian scale a lot. Nobody would agree with it (I put strongly agree, even though I don't think the matter is as simple as the question is worded)



Most of those questions were quite silly.
It is proven that mixed blood people are stronger then pure races.
That is how Darwin's theory works.
When you cross genes you don't get recessive faults & the progeny
can acquire better traits.
Look at Obama - crossed genes made him brilliant but
I know that is anecdotal.

Yeah, that's a load of sh*t and a complete misunderstanding of the concept of heterosis.

So then they'd mostly agree, wouldn't they?

The statement was IF economic globalisation is inevitable, it SHOULD primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations

Who would disagree with that?

Oh sorry. I actually misread the question (I kind of speed read a lot of the time, so my comprehension isn't always 100% when I do). So we'd both agree.

I could!

Because the basic premise of Globalisation, is definitely not inevitable.

In fact, it is absolutely inevitable that Globalisation will fail, so the question of whether it SHOULD primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations, IS ENTIRELY MOOT!

Why? Perhaps you should start a new thread on this one.

The basics reasoning is already in the bowels of the thread on The Future, in the post -
What is the Motor of the World and why is it stopping?

In short, it is now & has been for say 15-20 years, economically cheaper to outsource all sorts of MANUFACTURING & SERVICES, to  parts of the planet, where labour could be sourced at a much lower rate.

However, particularly in the manufacturing area, this situation will end & be reversed, as Energy (Oil) becomes more expensive and eventually less of it is available.

As this new paradigm evolves, the lower labour rates will be offset by higher Energy costs/availability problems and as that situation reverses, manufacturing & agriculture will become more local & less Globalised, as that will become more economical.

Save some out of left field Innovation, on a New Energy source, we will steadily revert to local economies!

Well I can't see how any one would disagree with the first statement...

Globalisation SHOULD serve humanity, rather than corporations...

And as for the second...Why should one race have 'superior' qualities, compared to any other????
