"You're Subconsciously A Peaceful Quaker!"
(source)
That's the result I got this morning from a spirituality quiz that's been making the rounds on social media lately. I find that funny because students at UPENN (my alma mater) are known as "Quakers."
Reading the full description, it's nor far off from a non-aggression principled voluntaryist perspective. Amazing they can come up with that just through a multiple-choice quiz involving some pictures.
Here's the full description I got:
You're subconsciously a peaceful Quaker! Deep down, you're openminded, fair, principled and justice oriented. Your inner, subconscious spirituality is motivated by a profound desire to make peace and fight for justice.
Quakers (or Friends) are members of a group of religious Christian movements which is known as the Religious Society of Friends. Quakers believe that truth is continuously revealed directly to individuals from God. Quakers often focus on trying to hear, the inner, still voice of God. Pacifism, social justice and peace making are important elements of the Quaker religious experience.
The parts I'd disagree with, I guess, are pacifism (NAP is not a pacifist stance, but advocates the use of defensive force when necessary) and relying on divinely revealed truth. I think to call something "true" we have to put a strong epistemology to work and try to disprove it as much as possible first. Then, of course, there's also the whole theism thing.
What do you get when taking the quiz? You can do so here on mydailyquizz.
