All of the ephemera that is far too trivial to be bothered with elsewhere on this site or, depending on your point of view, a meta-commentary on it. This ephemera includes, but is not limited to art, music and literature. Most of the content here will be discussed in terms that are as abstract as possible, reality being a singularly overrated concept.

Recently came across a moderately interesting online test. Like most online tests I've taken I disagreed with a great many of the results (I regard comparison to either Rand or Bentham as little more than a personal affront), but I was particularly surprised that Mill did not come higher up on my first attempt; Sartre (100%), Hume (85%), Nietzsche (83%), Hobbes (69%). However, given that Mill and Nietzche have always resembled two rather uncomfortable polarities in my thought, the differing set of results on my second attempt were less surprising; Sartre (100%), ill (93%), Bentham (84%), Kant (82%). It would have been nice to be able to take Schopenhauer, Locke and Kierkegaard into account too.
