The main assignment is to come prepared for a brand new Ask You Anything (AYA) session. Some of the questions I will pose include:
- What are your blind spots (intellectual, emotional, spiritual, etc.)? What are mine and other Fribrarians?
- Kevin, it turns out you have a terminal disease. You have 10 days to live. Also, you have a large financial debt you previously were unaware of. The good news is you will be completely symptom-free before suddenly dropping dead. I have a proposition for you for your last days. Would you rather have an all expenses-paid trip to Vegas (up to $10,000) and I can give you a pill that can cause you to forget knowing the disease diagnosis or would you rather me pay off the debt?
- If you were given the equivalent of having $10 million today in Oklahoma, in what foreign country would you choose to spend the rest of your life?
- What is the probability that intelligent, extraterrestrial life exists currently in our galaxy outside of earth? What is the probability that intelligent, extraterrestrial life has visited earth at any point?
- How many phases have there been in your life–distinctive periods that are meaningfully different than each other in total even if the transition between them was quite blurry?
- What is the least amount of money that if you lost it, you’d still feel sick about it a week later? Is this amount higher or lower than you’d like it to be?
- Who are you resentful of?
- What do you not have that you wish you did?
- What do you want the Fribrary podcast to be including what do you not want it to be?
- Kevin, the war in Afghanistan has finally ended. Having served there in active combat, what are your thoughts?
- Josh, Han shot first—what is your view?
- Lucas, what is the best Pearl Jam lyric?
- Kevin, when did boxing peak? Will it ever be as good again?
- From Eva – Which are there more: wheels or doors? What counts? What does not?
- Bad news: humanity was likely born way too early. Also, consider these predictions about grabby aliens.
- 3Blue1Brown is attempting to ruin Wordle with math–and don’t miss the addendum.
- How many of these modern heresies do you believe?
- Buy things, not experiences.
Stories (Awkward and Otherwise):
- Dress for success, or how should I take this?
Jams:
- Angus & Julia Stone – Paper Aeroplane
- The Hooters – And We Danced
- Saint Motel – Diane Mozart (Acoustic)
Get workin’ on your answers. See you Saturday!
