Are you nostalgic for the past or eager for the future?
both. i assume you mean nostalgic for eras of the past i didn't get to see? there are plenty of eras i would love to see. mostly in the ancient world. there's something alluring to me about ancient pagan religion. especially when they had orgies and ****ed up rituals like in the cult of dionysus.

In contrast with the daytime festivities of the Athenian Dionysia were the biennial nocturnal rites of the Tristeria, held on Mount Parnassus in winter. These celebrated the emergence of Dionysus from the underworld, with orgies (orgia) in the mountains. The first day was presided over by the Maenads in their state of Mainomenos (madness), during which animals—and perhaps humans—were hunted, torn apart with bare hands and eaten raw. This was the Sparagmos, once associated with goat sacrifice and marking the harvest (and trampling) of the vine. The second day saw the Bacchic nymphs in their Thyiadic (or raving) state. Although still orgiastic, this was a more sensual and benign bacchanal (assisted by satyrs). Mythographers claim that the Maenads (or wild women) resisted the Bacchic urge and were driven mad, while the Thyiades (or ravers) accepted the Dionysian ecstasy and kept their sanity.

too gangster.
of course i also would love to see how the future unfurls. the rapid trends in technological progress are especially exciting/interesting to me. the most interesting issues for me are:
combating climate change/the future energy infrastructure
space colonization and tourism
the prospect of a real all out war between 2 real nuclear powers/ww3
artificial intelligence/robots
You can only wear one shirt for the rest of your life. What does it say on it? Or does it not say anything at all?
East or West coast? If you haven't been to one or either, what the f*ck are you doing with your life? If you're not in the US, you can guess as to which you'd like best.
never been to the west, lol. would like to go. will do some time in the near/distant future. the west coast looks pretty amazing though, i have a feeling it's better than the east coast just from seeing it in movies and ****.
What's your worst personal tragedy? You can omit this if you choose to do so. I wanted a stinger in here.

Are you glad that winter is over or could you give less of a sh*t?
