Do you thinkers believe in objectivity?
Hmmm...I'm going to say yes. That said, I'm not sure that it's something that any human can perfectly achieve. Merely having this opinion puts me on the fringes of my discipline, though.
Do you have values?
I do, though I wouldn't be able to "name" them, or even describe what they are. They only manifest themselves when someone has done something that I feel is grossly offensive, or when someone does/says something that is particularly gauche. And even then the whole thing is curious to me because I never really think about what my values are, and am therefore surprised when they actually surface. Plus I think that I change my mind about certain values every so often.
When do you feel the need to defend your values?
Um...when they're challenged? When else would anyone feel the need to defend their values? It's not like people go around defending their values for fun, unless they're maybe doing it internally to work out/sort their values for themselves.
Do you ever question the power of logic?
Absolutely. In fact, I'm not entirely clear on what it even means to say that someone is "logical". In practice this usually ends up meaning that someone is willing to say something that's true in spite of whose feelings it might hurt. Otherwise, we don't have people going around all day talking in syllogisms. When I make decisions, it's never on the basis of any linear line of reasoning or proof of the sort that you would see in mathematics or formal logic.
And now that I'm talking about it, I'm actually getting a little sick of seeing type descriptions that describe "thinkers" as people that reason in terms of "formal logic", because if that were the case, then why would any of them ever need to actually learn the rules of logic? They have to because formal logic is not a representation of the way that we think, and I think that it's a little naive to think and/or state that it is so.
What makes you happy?
I think that this is a circumstantial sort of thing, but if there were anything in the world that consistently makes me feel happy, I'd say that it's natural beauty. And this beauty can manifest itself in a text, in scenery, in art, in ideas, in anything. I know it when I see it.
Would you rather be smart, intelligent or wise?
Well I'd say that the ultimate one of those choices is wisdom. I already consider myself to be a fairly smart/intelligent person (if we're talking about natural or fundamental intelligence, the type that can't be improved with the addition of knowledge) so the next step would be to gain wisdom. And I think that one gains wisdom slowly but surely through the agglomeration of more knowledge, both about the world and about one's self.
