Do you think what you think?

I came accross a wonderful book today. Such a good idea. It's called, Do you think what you think? by Julian Baggini and Jeremy Strangroom. The book consists of a series of tests to show up 'tensions' in your beliefs. It's really fascinating. So for example in the first test two of the questions are: Do you believe that the human life should be protected at any cost? And, do you believe that the goverment should increase taxes substantially in order to save lives in third world countries? If you answer 'yes' and then 'no' there is an obvious tension, or outright contradiction, in the way you think. Fascinating..
