Meisms: The Cult of I

I created the following HIT on M-Turk:

You’re the author of the newest philosophical bombshell, “Me-ism: the Cult of I”

Tell me more about your brilliant mind and why we should all fall down at your feet and worship your magnificent cranium.

The Meism Posts on Ismmania.com are a result of that HIT.

I think it’s interesting what people say about themselves given this freedom to be their most powerful and dogmatic selves. Some took it as a game, which was mostly the intention; some took it seriously; some even seemed pissed off.

I hope you’ll enjoy the results as much as I have.

Check out the Meism category for the complete list of Meisms.
