♡My answers!:

What do you love most about humanity/what do you hate most?

Love:

I love the rare ability of humans to show compassion and humanity in times of need, when it would not benefit them. Random acts of kindness restore my faith in humanity.

Hate:

I hate the usual LACK of ability of most humans to show compassion and humanity in times of need when it doesn't benefit them. 

What deity do you associate with the most? (even if you do not believe in them)

Thoth. The God of Knowledge and Wisdom. I swear i'm not narcissistic.

Would you rather not be able to make new memories or forget all of your old ones? 

I hate this question. There are plenty of old memories i would never want to forget. I guess cameras and the memories of another person can make up for my lack of memory.. i guess.

What house would you be in GoT? 

The Knight's Watch. Home of the thieves, poachers and bastards.

Dusk or Dawn? Why? 

Dusk. Dawn is too quiet, the quiet stir too many thoughts that are trying to be suppressed.

The most cliche question on the world: Do the ends justify the means?

It all depends in the end. Sadly the world is never black and white, so no question can be a simple yes or no answer.

Name all of your talents. Be honest with yourself.  

I can play guitar, and bass guitar pretty decently. I can write poetically and intelligently when I want to. I would say I am pretty intelligent. I enjoy reading, which is a definite talent. There aren't many problems that I can't solve if given enough time and information.

What is the tangible embodiment of evil?  

Man.

-Name something you know you will never do. 

Something other than the normal "Rape and kill a person in mid October and dispose of their body in a tub full of sulfuric acid"?

-In 5 years will you remember what you did today, yesterday? 

I doubt that in five years i'll remember that I ate a piece of pizza, emailed my professors, pooped, and read a chapter of a book. Today wasn't a very eventful day. Ask me again in five years!

-Are politics involved in religion? Are tactics involved in religion? 

"Politics is the practice and theory of influencing other people on a civic or individual level." So yes. Politics are definitely involved in religion. They very basis of religion is influencing a person into believing what you want them to believe, through fear tactics (so yes, tactics are used in religion too), brainwashing, and misinformation as well as basic anti-intellectualism. When I say this, I'm mainly referring to most organized religion such as the Abrahamic faiths. I'm not going to fuck with paganism, seeing as most of that is personal beliefs and paths.

  My questions:

  1. What was the last book you read without being forced to read it? did you enjoy it?

2. What is your personal beliefs about Philosophy? Is it dead? Is it an important subject of thought, or useless?

3. Who/What is your favorite Philosopher or Philosophy?

4. What are your religious/spiritual beliefs or lack there of?

5. What are your beliefs on Theocracy?

6. What's your stance on the current situation in Syria? Who is responsible for the chemical weapons? Do you feel a war should be started regardless?

7. What do you think of Anarchy?

8. What is your favorite game? Favorite system to play it on?

9. Name three of your favorite songs.

10. Name three things you can do that you feel are a talent.

11. Do you have double jointed thumbs? (ujelly?)
