1) If you came upon a time machine, where would you go? Would you alter anything? Why?
I'd go back in my own history and change the way I did some things. I'd risk more, be less cautious.
2) If you managed to capture the Questing Beast, an odd combination of animal forms that is said to know the answers to all questions, what one question would you ask it? Would the answer change anything?
What would you like to ask? I don't know if it would change anything, but it might like to be asked for once.
3) You've found yourself a rather obedient genie in a bottle. Make your three wishes. Why, out of everything you could ask for, do these three win out?
1. The world's adults start acting like thoughtful, compassionate people.
2. We halt, and then work to reduce human population growth to levels the planet can support without depriving other species of living space and resources.
3. We develop and use renewable sources of energy, and levy heavy taxes and fines on those who insist on using non-renewable sources.
4) Someone presents you with a working voodoo doll. Do you use it? On who, why, and to what purpose?
No.
5) Pick a superpower, any superpower. What and why? How would this change your life?
It would have to be a twofold power: The power to heal, and the power to control it. I'd no longer have to feel powerless in the face of suffering. But nothing comes without a price, and the power to heal would have to be fueled from somewhere. So I ask the power to control it, so I could balance the intake and the outflow.
