Do you think that your current or any potential future romantic partner worried, or would worry, about an unexpected failure in compatibility leading to a dissolution of the relationship as a result of differing moral views, i.e. the acceptability of a certain course of action or manner of thinking?

I've never thought about this

It doesn't seem likely

Important

Yes

Maybe so

Yes

When we include topics that may seem minor like whether to put pineapple on pizza, is it fair to say that people generally vary in their moral views?

Yes

Clear selection

This question might depend on what you think of as a "different culture", but do you think a smart person's moral views are more similar to a stupid person from the same culture, or to a smart person from a different culture?

More similar to the stupid person from the same culture

More similar to the smart person from the other culture

Is it ethical to kill a hunting dog that bites people, kills chickens raised by neighbors, and is no help in hunting?

Yes

Only if you're a witch (Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett)

Only if you hate dogs and betray everything that is loyal to you

Only if you're poor and can't afford to pay someone to take care of a dog that you don't want

Only if you cry after killing the dog

These options are funny, but by definition an action is neither ethical nor unethical if people are unable to agree whether it's ethical

Is it ethical for an animal shelter to kill dogs when the shelter becomes too full to accept more dogs?

Yes

Do you think it's conceivable that the world could change in a way that significantly reduces the differences in moral views between smart people and stupid people?

Yes

Clear selection

Do you consider yourself to be smarter than 2/3 of people of the same age from your culture?

Yes

The lack of a 'maybe' option clearly prejudices the responses by implying that the views of people who consider themselves on the boundary are unimportant, encouraging people to place themselves in a group more distant from the boundary

Maybe

Clear selection

Would you say that people from the same religion generally have the same moral views?

Yes

How could someone answer anything other than yes here? Strong yes

BONUS QUESTIONS

Given that most religions give explanations for what happens to humans after death, and there is no strong evidence for anything happening to humans after death, is it fair to say there is no strong evidence that everyone in the world should join a particular religion if there are no state-mandated benefits for being in that religion?

Note: in some countries there are benefits for being in a particular religion, like eligibility to become head of state or head of government, but "state-mandated" sounds better than "government-mandated" because some people view the government as a separate entity that does not always act according to the wishes of the people and the state as a more permanent and inclusive entity.

Yes, there is no strong evidence to join a particular religion

No, there is strong evidence that everyone should join a particular religion

In general, do you think it would be a bad thing for every human to have similar moral views?

Yes

They already have similar moral views, just not "the same" moral views. Stupid survey!
