A meme, from Ramon!

( Huu. I seem to be a special snowflake. )

Or one of the truly gentle people in the world, as opposed to most folks, who have to admittedly work at it most days.

It's not a bad thing to be--some people wish they could be that way again.

I seem to have gotten two quite different results, before and after drinking my tea and leafing through a few newspapers. The second seems to me more like me, but I prefer the first. Huu.

derek_bliss December 7 2006, 13:50:13 UTC

Don't you have a dual...'function'? That would explain the different results.

And yeah, I missed the second one. Sorry about that. Usually though what I see of you is the first.

secretarybird December 7 2006, 13:58:10 UTC

Well, I used to do many things. I was the good vizier, the good scribe, who manages well but is not harsh. The only answer I changed was the question about the greater flaw: too much dispassion or too much sympathy. Often I worry about that.

Of course, these results are about the Greeks, and I am not very Greek at all.

Yeah, that one kinda stumped me too. I think I flipped a coin and picked 'dispassion'.

This is true. They had a pretty unique grasp of things.

courtneycrumrin December 7 2006, 14:24:23 UTC

I thought that one was easy. It was the Logos-Gnosis one that got me.

derek_bliss December 7 2006, 14:39:34 UTC

Yeah, that one took a few seconds as well. Chose 'gnosis', I think.

courtneycrumrin December 7 2006, 14:53:15 UTC

Me too. I'd have liked to have picked both.

Logos has some relation to Ma'at, the ordering of the world.

If I may ask, which do you see as a greater flaw? To be overly dispassionate or overly sympathetic?

courtneycrumrin December 7 2006, 15:40:31 UTC

I've read a little about the concepts. Not much, but enough to get the gist. When I start to think about these things too much, it's like my mind goes in a spiral and I start to get lost. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, maybe, but a lot is fucking terrifying. But, yeah...

I picked overly dispassionate as worse.

secretarybird December 7 2006, 15:56:30 UTC

The first time, I too said that being overly dispassionate was worse. Perhaps that was the better answer.

courtneycrumrin December 7 2006, 16:03:49 UTC

Maybe. But it's only an internet quiz. And it was written for humans, by humans. It's up to you whether it even applies to you properly.

secretarybird December 7 2006, 16:27:48 UTC

I suppose that is true.
