Homework - Due Saturday, March 19, 2022
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?

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?
