A beautiful reward was received a few days ago, and finally I can properly thank the person responsible: Super specific gratitude to a super awesome blogger. Go discover, I know you want to 🙂

Anyhow, to qualify I need to answer the given questions, and then provide ten of my own. Thus, without further ado:

Answers

A new island chain suddenly forms in the south Pacific. Scientists, in the spirit of serendipity, need a name for the archipelago, so they run outside and grab the first person they see walking by. That person is you. What do you name the islands?

Find any grocery list you’ve ever written – on a post-in note, on your phone, in the trash can. What is the third item on that list?

SUICIDAL, WITH A SIDE OF PLAYFUL

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT

Questions: 

• If you had to choose which villain’s life to live – who and why?
• A silly thing that never fails to make you laugh.
• What is your favorite bird?
• Would you rather have a job that allows you to be carefree and doesn’t ask any effort but without vacation or hard-work that keeps you on your toes constantly and two-months vacation?
• There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person tied up on the side track. You have two options:
  1. Do nothing, and the trolley kills the five people on the main track.
  2. Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person.

  Which is the most ethical choice?

• What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: “This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence – even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!” – Nietzsch Would you take it as a curse or as a blessing?
• If you were allowed to drink one drink (only one) for the rest of times – what would it be?
• Alcohol or smoking?
• If you were allowed to live anywhere – where?
• Be popular but lonely or unknown but with a family?
