Would it be possible to convert my Political Compass results into latitude and longitude coordinates, and place myself on the map that way instead? According to Google Maps, this can place me either 400 miles due south of Ivory Coast, or 800 miles due west of Angola. Either is a good choice, as ocean currents will naturally enhance anonymity.

Besides this having absolutely nothing to do with this thread, Kant was wrong. Ought does not imply can, in any way whatsoever.

Perhaps ought (as opposed to ought to) is only correctly used when it implies can. ie. ought ought to imply can.

And FD, it matters not if I ought to wake up earlier, I simply can not. Fact, not opinion. (I have tried for years).
