So I filled out the 80 question questionnaire (muddytextures)
Block
1. General to specific, specific to general – what does it mean?
When going from general to specific you are adding more restrictions of what something can be.
2. What does “logical” mean? What is your understanding? Do you think that it correlates with the common view?
Something is logical if it adheres to the rules of reality. My understanding is a product of what I have seen and experienced in the world combined with mental thought. I believe I understand things the way most people do about most things.
3. How do you explain fractions on the dial of the clock?
The fractions help you to more accurately determine the time.
4. What is a rule? What rules you must to follow?
A rule is a restriction on a certain action. The only rules we have to follow are the laws of physics.
5. What is hierarchy? Do you need to follow it? Why or why not?
A heirarchy is a social construct in which a few powerful individuals govern over the more numerous people of lesser importance. You can try to avoid hierachies but often times you are forced into them because the world demands it.
6. What do you think of instructions? Do you use them? Could you write an instruction manual? If so, what type of instruction manual would you most likely write?
I think instructions are a nice tool to have when you don't know what you are doing. I probably wouldn't be interested in writing instruction manuals, but if I had to I would make a guide for a game or something.
7. Please explain: “Freedom is in complying with the laws, but not in ignoring the laws”? Do you agree with the statement? Why?
No, but I can see what it is trying to say. If you don't follow the laws you could end up in jail with even less freedom then before. However, if you bypass the laws skillfully you can acquire more freedom by not following them.
8. Tell us how consistent are you?
About as much as the average person I would say.
9. What is a “standard”? Why do people need it?
A standard is a minimum requirement. People need them so the can have an acceptable level of quality in various things.
10. You need to put in order your home library. How do you feel about this activity? How will you approach this task?
I feel it is a meaningless activity but never the less if I had to I would simply put the books in alphabetical order.

1. What is work in your opinion? Why do people go to work? Are there any parameters where you can distinguish whether you can do this work or not?
Work in my opinion is the undesirable actions taken to achieve a diserable result. People go to work to pay bills and get more money. I look for work that fits my strong areas and I avoid work that I am less skilled at.
2. Is there any correlation between quality and quantity? Tell us if or how the price depends on quality?
Typically quality goes down when you try to raise quantity and vice versa. A good example of this is how the germans in WW2 had the most advanced tanks but could only make a few of them while the russian tanks were weaker but were being produced on a massive scale. The price of something generally goes up proportinally with its level of quality.
3. How do people determine the quality of work? How do you determine such quality? How well you can determine the quality of any purchase, do you pay any attention to it?
People check to see if the quality of work they received matches up with what they were promised, and I do too. Before I purchase something I look at the credibility of the company brand name that is selling it.
4. How do you feel if you didn’t finish some work? Does it ever happen? What are the reasons?
If I don't finish some work I just tell myself I will get back to it later and don't think about it further. I usually neglect work I need to do at home although at jobs I try to always do what I need to do. Laziness is the reason behind my unfinished work.
5. What is “interesting work” for you? Please explain in detail.
Interesting work for me is something with an element of adventure. This could be something like going scuba diving to research ocean life or going undercover as some sort of spy.
6. You go to the store and see something you’re interested in buying, there is a price tag on it. What parameters are you going to use to understand if it’s overpriced, underpriced, or priced correctly?
I look to see how its price compares to other brands that have similar items, or at different stores that have the exact same item.
7. When you work and someone tells you: “You don’t do it right.” What is your reaction?
A get a little pissed off because I prefer to do things my own way and at my own pace.
8. Right next to you there is a real professional. You always see that you can’t perform the way he does. Your feelings, thoughts and actions?
My self-esteem drops a little bit whenever someone best me at something no matter what is, so I might start trying harder myself to compensate.
9. When you have to ask someone else to help you with the task, how do you feel?
I feel a bit reluctant to do so because they don't like being seen as someone who has to rely on others.
10. You need to build a pyramid, exactly like in Egypt. Your thoughts, feelings and actions?
Obviously I wouldn't be able to build it completely by myself from scratch, so my first priority would be to gather support to help build them. I would start a petition calling for the preservation of historical monuments aka the pyramids and talk about how ISIS has been threating to blow up the actual ones egypt to raise people's urgency. If that didn't work I could also try to convince a park to build on by telling them it would attract tourist.

1. Tell us what is beauty? Do you change your opinion about beauty? Does your understanding correlate with the generally accepted notion? What goes beyond the generally accepted notion?
Beauty is a state of visual perfection. I don't think my opinion of beauty changes much at all. I suppose my understanding of beauty is about the same as the average person. I really don't know what goes beyond to be honest.
2. Describe, please, your understanding of a beautifully dressed man or a woman. What is the core of beauty? How do you explain what is beautiful to a person who has never heard about beauty before?
I think a beautifully dressed person should be clean and not wearing something trashy. I never really put any thought into what I think the core of beauty is and I've no idea how to explain beauty to someone.
3. Is there a template of understanding what beautiful means for everyone to use? Is there such a term as “classical beauty”? If so, what is it?
Anything the is pleasant to look at can be used as a tempelate for beauty. With classical beauty I'm thinking about greek sculputures or something along the lines of there.
4. What is comfort? What is coziness? How do you create your comfort and coziness? How do others evaluate your skill in doing so? Do you agree with them?
Comfort and coziness are a state of traquilty with your current surroundings. I like to bury myself in pillows while sleeping to get comfortable. Others would probably say I'm not very skilled at at such things and I would agree with them.
5. How do you pick your own clothes? Do you follow fashion? Why? Do you know how to select clothes for different types of figures?
I just pick clothes of plain colors such as blue, black, or brown. I don't follow fashion because it is simply not something that is important to me. No, I don't know what what clothes go with whom.
6. How do you cook? Do you follow recipes? What others think about your skill?
I just usually either boil up some pasta or put something in the toaster oven. I don't use recipes and others would probably say I suck at cooking.
7. Are you good at color patterns and mixing them and matching?
No.
8. If someone is telling you what is beautiful and what is not, what goes with what color and what is not, do you agree with this person?
I just go along with whatever they say.
9. Tell us how you’d design any room, house or an office. Do you do it yourself or trust someone else to do it? Why?
I might want to make it look like an underground bunker, or put a giant aquarim somewhere inside. I would let someone else do it because I wouldn't like the work involved.
10. How do you know if a person has bad taste? Could you give us an example? Do you always trust your own taste or do you seek opinions from others?
They have bad taste if they follow some boring stereotypical style, like justin beiber or some redneck shit. I usually trust my own taste but I'm also open to other's opinions.

1. Can you line up human resources and make them do things? What methods do you use? Can you press people? If so, how does it happen?
If I had to I could, although its not really something I would feel good doing. I would remind them the importance of the task I want them to do and get more persistent if they don't listen. I usually only press people when I am very irritated with the current sitiuation.
2. What is incursion? How do you deal with this? Can you repulse? How easy can you do it?
Incursion is attacking or invading somone or someplace. When you get attacked you need to fight back with everything you have so they think twice of attacking again. I can repulse fairly easily because I hate invasiveness.
3. What does “my people” and “strangers” mean? When do “my people” become “strangers” and why?
"My people" are the people who I share similar views and interest with, strangers are people who just seem to be into completely different things then me. "My people" become stranger when they start talking about or doing weird things.
4. Are there strategies of attack? Can you use them? When is it justified?
Sun Tzu described the strategies of war well. There are a variety of ways one could choose to attack, you can reduce their morale with pyschological warfare or surprise them witha sudden all out attack. You should use these strategies whenever your life is at risk.
5. Do you think it’s ok to occupy someone else’s territory? In what situations?
Only when you are absolutely desperate for necessary resources.
6. What are the methods of volitional force? When is it most effective and in what situations?
Votional force is one you have eyes set on a goal and you tell yourself and others you are willing to do anything to achieve it. It is effective in times when otheris are in low spirits.
7. How do you protect yourself and your interests?
I don't feel a great need to protect myself from anything.
8. Describe to us your behavior in the situations of opposition and if you have to use some force?
When I face opposition I first try to discuss possible solutions, and if they ignore me I ramp up the forcefulness somewhat although I rarely resort to open conflict.
9. Do others think of you as a strong person? Do you think you are a strong person?
Probably not. I am rather lazy and perfer to head back the way I came from when I situation requires a lot of determination. Physically speaking I'm also far from being the strongest.
10. How do you understand if a person is strong? Are there any signs of a strong person? What is the core of any force? Why do people listen to one person, but not the other?
A person is strong when they are able to endure what most others can not. Lack of hesistation to me signals strenght in a person. Force is all about getting your way no matter what. People listen other people more then others partly because of respect, and partly because some people are better at intimidating others.

1. What is boorishness? Does your understanding of it correlate with the generally accepted notion? How would you explain to a 10 year old child what boorishness means?How would you explain the same to an adult who does not behave ethically?
Boorsishness is when someone acts like an asshole. Yes I would say my understanding more or less fits the accepted notion. I would tell the kid it means being inconsiderate of others. To adult I would say it means being an asshole.
2. How would you improve the moral of the society?
I wouldn't do anything, I don't care about society or its morals.
3. Can you justify somebody’s bad behavior by thinking that he/she wasn’t taught how to do so?
I suppose so.
4. Give us your understanding of love. Can you love and punish at the same time?
What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more. But sersiously love is a feeling of attachment to someone or something caused by oxytocin being released in our brains. I suppose you can love and punish at the same time although it seems weird to me.
5. Have you heard about the Southern hospitality? Everything is for the guest. There is also a German hospitality – the master of the house is always right. What method is the right one? Try to evaluate without the weight of any cultural aspects, traditions, nations etc.
I would go more with southern hospitality. I think anybody is capable of being wrong so no one should ever be seen as "always right".
6. What is sympathy? When do you need to express it? When is it advised not to?
Sympathy is when you are alinged with the motives of another person. You need to express when some is being unjustily persecuted, and hold it back when doing so would cause more harm then good.
7. Are there any norms of behavior in the society? Do you follow them? Do people always have to follow them? Why?
The one and only norm I follow and expect others to follow is to not be an asshole. The world would be wonderful if there where no assholes.
8. How do you know what attitude among people is right or wrong?
I do not understand this question to be honest.
9 . What does moral mean? What is immoral? Does your understanding correlate with the others? How can you evaluate the correctness of your own understanding?
Something is moral if it acts for good of society, it is immoral if it doesn't. I see morality with less importance then others and I don't ponder much about my understanding of it.
10. Somebody is giving you a negative attitude – what is your reaction? Could you show your own negative attitude toward someone else? If so, how? Could you give a person the silent treatment? How easily do you forgive people?
I get a painful feeling inside and might even get angry if it is bad enough. I somethings give off a negative attitude when someone annoys me alot although I try to keep it in check. I wouldn't be vindictive towards others and I would forgive others easily provided they stopped giving me a bad attitude.

1. "Whole world does not cost one tear of child" – how do you understand this phrase? Do you agree with this opinion?
I really do not understand this at all, maybe it got translated badly idk.
2. Is it acceptable to express emotions? Give examples of inappropriate expression of emotions.
Its fine by me although I might find it strange seeing someone get all emotional in public. Crying or laughing in a high class restraunt for example would be weird.
3. Can you use negative emotions? In what situations?
Ehh, no.
4. How do you express negative emotions? What does it look like? What do others think about it?
Sometimes anger or sadness can build up and either express them alone in private or suddenly when I'm in an extreme situation. Others haven't ever given their opinion about my emotions.
5. Shallow emotions – what does it mean? Are there any other emotions?
I think shallow emotions are an act rather then genuine expression. The other emotions would be deep ones I guess.
6. What are right or wrong emotions?
Any emotion that is fitting for the situation is good and bad if it isn't.
7. Can you change the emotional state of yourself? Of others? To what side – positive or negative?
Maybe a little bit, I can go from feeling nostalgic to feeling more upbeat depending I'm what I'm thinking. I don't think I'm very good at influencing others emotions other then playing around with them.
8. What does it mean to “pour out your emotions”? How does it happen?
Pouring out your emotions means you expressing strongly how you actually feel. I happens whenever you feel strongly moved by something.
9. Does your internal emotional state correlate with what you show externally?
No, I usually hold back what I feel.
10. Do you track what mood you are in throughout the day? Do you notice the mood of others?
I can recognize what kind of mood in at any point in time and I can easily recognize what mood someone else is in.

1. Do you like surprises?
If it is a pleasant surprise then yes, if it isn't then no.
2. Tell us how people change? How do you feel about those changes? Can others see the changes?
People tend fixate further and further into into their habits. I think it is a bit unfortunate that they stuck into one way of thinking later in life. I don't think others notice much change.
3. Is it true that whatever happens is only for the best?
No, events are random.
4. What do you think of horoscopes, fortune telling etc.? Do you believe in luck, lucky fortuity?
They a good to have little fun with but I don't think they are something that should be taken seriously. I do not believe in luck.
5. Can you forecast events? Is it even real?
Provided I have enough information of the subject, yes I can forecast events. I don't get what this question means when it ask "is it real".
6. What is time? How do you feel time? Can you “kill” time? How?
Time is the continous series of events. I feel time back thinking about how the atmosphere was different in the past. I can easily kill time by sitting back and daydreaming.
7. Is it easy for you to wait for some important event? What if you don’t know when it is supposed to happen?
I get a little restless when I know something big is about to happen. If I don't know when I usually forget about it and focus on something else.
8. Do you need help creating forecasts and determining how something will end? Do you trust those forecasts?
No, I perfer to focus on honing my skills to deal with a potential sitiuations rather than wasting time planning for things that may or may not happen. I usually approach forecast with a touch of skepticism.
9. Are you normally late? How do you react if someone is late?
I may sometimes be off a few minutes but nothing extreme. How I would react would depend on the situation. Seeing a co-worker be late to me is rather humorous, but I would be a little more frustrated if someone was late meeting me.
10. Imagine the situation where you agreed to meet with someone. Your feelings and actions: a) 20 minutes before the meeting starts, b) 5 minutes before the meeting starts, c) it is time for the meeting to start, but the person is not here, d) 20 minutes after the meeting start time and the person is not here, e) more time and the person is still not here…
A. I just chill out and relax. B. I begin to closely watch for their arrival. C. I keep waiting. D. I start feeling a little frustrated. E. I give them a call to see where they are at and begin to consider calling off the meeting.

1. Is there a meaning of life? In what? Is it the same for everybody?
Our purpose in life is too achieve the greatest level of happiness possible in everything we do. Some people think that the purpose of life is in religion or duty to their country but I think these people are closed minded and are letting themselves be used by others.
2. What should be done so people can be happy?
We should stop being so strict about what we expect from others and be more open towards improving the current system.
3. In the situations with a lot of potential and volatility will you trust your own guts, logically calculating everything or will you ask people you trust what should be done?
I like to think for myself about what should be done although I may ask others some things to acquire more information.
4. When you meet a stranger, what can you say about him right away? How do you know what this person is all about? Does it take long to understand someone’s talents?
By their clothing and demeanor I can tell what a person's cultural backround is. If he is wearing camoflague and boots he is a country person, if he wears gold chains and sideways basecap he is city person. It doesn't take me long at all to determine someone's strenghts and weaknesses.
5. Remember an interesting person and call out 5-6 qualities you think are interesting in him. What would make a person not interesting? Are you an interesting person? Why? What if someone calls you “boring” and “not interesting”?
I think Steve Irwin was an interesting person. He had unsurpassed comfort around animals, explored various areas around the globe, had a TV show, tamed dangerous creatures and was in a movie. I know alot of facts about the world to entertain others. If someone calls me boring they are probably a closed-minded asshole.
6. What opinions, from people who know you, seem: 1) fair; 2) not fair; 3) hurtful; 4) strange.
1. That we should raise the minimum wage for young people. 2. That we should ban guns. 3. That we should punish people who are not "useful" to society. 4. That the governement is run by aliens.
7. Do you fantasize? What kind of fantasies do you have?
Yes, I fantasize a lot about being some all powerful being who use energy blast against his opponents. I also excessively daydream about crushes I had in the past.
8. What qualities should a person have to be successful and why?
They need to be intelligent, strong, forgiving and have awareness of the most promising courses of action. A person needs to be able to see past all the social constructs that are put in place for the benefit of the few elite and go straight for the throne.
9. What qualities can stop a person from being successful and why?
Allowing yourself to be used by others is the best reciepe for failure.
10. What is more important in life – to be a good person or be a successful one? Why? Is a good person always successful? If not, then why?
I don't think either one is necessarily better then the other, although I would have to say staying true to yourself is the most important thing you can have. Good people are not always the most successful, they may get stomped by more driven individuals. Success however means nothing if the person isn't happy.
