1. You're holding a dinner party and can invite three famous people from the past or present; who would they be? I don't know, I don't actually have a lot of interest in hanging out with famous people. I guess I'd just like to have a meal/conversation with three simple, decent, smart, leftist-type people who lived through times of social/political crisis and maintained some degree of sanity/integrity.
2. You have the opportunity to question someone about something you've always wanted to know and receive a truthful answer; what would your question be? Is there anything I could say/do that would actually change your mind, or should I just stop trying and direct my energy elsewhere?
3. If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be? I think I'd like to be more assertive, more decisive, less afraid of confrontation, less easily swayed by others. That probably looks like more than one thing, but they kinda feel like the same thing to me.
4. If you could save other people's lives by completing an act that would lead to your own death, would you do it? I feel like this is the kind of thing you can't really know until you're in that situation. And I hope I never will be!
5. Would you commit murder if you knew that you could get away with it? I don't know, I feel like even if I had some totally airtight utilitarian rationale for doing so or whatever, I don't think I'd actually be able to do it.
