1. Would you rather live entirely alone, with every possible luxury and comfort man or woman can have, all the financial security you could ever want, but absolutely no contact whatever with another human being even for a second, or live as you are now?

Would take it in an instant. I might end up blowing my brains out but I don't function in this society as it is and self-isolation is my instinct already.

2. What sort of headphones do you use?

I got a pair of Skullcandy2s that I use for gaming but everything else like music and podcasts I use bluetooth Taotronics. They've lasted two years of extensive use for $40 or $50 so probably one of the best investments I ever made.

3. If you had faith, when, if ever, did you lose it and why?

Never had any.

4. If you had to choose between being blind, deaf or dumb, which would you pick?

Since I don't have the option of question 1 dumb isn't very good and not being able to carry out conversations with most people or being able to listen to music or podcasts sounds better than being blind so I'll go with losing my sight. Not being able to read would be horrific though


5. How are your sea legs (i.e., do you get seasick easily or are you a born sailor, or something in between)?

Shrug.

6. What is your take on cryptocurrency?

No notes.

Yeah being blind is probably the wisest choice for most people including me, but there's some primitive gut fear which would never make me choose it

I feel that but I feel like I can still make connections with people as a blind person to ease my life and mitigate the social consequences whereas if I can't speak I'm essentially a non-person in society.

1. Would you rather live entirely alone, with every possible luxury and comfort man or woman can have, all the financial security you could ever want, but absolutely no contact whatever with another human being even for a second, or live as you are now? I live alone now which I love, but no human contact is the deal breaker. I don't care about luxury, I just want to enjoy time with my family and friends.

2. What sort of headphones do you use? A Pink gaming headphone/mic is used with my PC and wireless Bluetooth headphones for music.

3. If you had faith, when, if ever, did you lose it and why? I was indoctrinated by the Catholic church and eventually moved away from it's strict rules and lack of roles for women in the church. I then accepted being non-denomination Christian, but lost interest in it's ideologies and am now spiritual and don't associate with religion.

4. If you had to choose between being blind, deaf or dumb, which would you pick? Dumb, because at least I can write down what I'm wanting to say or use technology that's out there for this.


5. How are your sea legs (i.e., do you get seasick easily or are you a born sailor, or something in between)?
From my knowledge I am fine but haven't really been in boats that often. I did go sailing a couple of years ago and although bumpy I felt fine.

6. What is your take on cryptocurrency? TBH I don't really have a take/opinion.

In the last ten years or so I've realised how important it is to have any sort of human contact. The lack of it (I use it for you guys in the broadest possible terms, of course) made me come back here when I had intended to stay away, so no; you can't give me enough money or luxury to take away all human contact.

2. What sort of headphones do you use?

Just bought a pair of OneOdio over the ear ones, which are wireless but can also be connected via cable, which I wanted. Bought them a week ago or so, therefore, as you might imagine (and you'd be right) they're still in the box! I also have a wireless pair of Energy Sistem over the ear ones. They're blue.

3. If you had faith, when, if ever, did you lose it and why?

I was never big into religion, but I think if I lost the little faith I had it was when my mam started to recover from the cancer, then relapsed and died. Not cool, God! Not cool at all. Oh wait: you don't exist. Well.

4. If you had to choose between being blind, deaf or dumb, which would you pick?

Dumb, cos I already am. Nah, I need my hearing to be able to enjoy music and I need my sight so I can write and read, but if I was dumb I could see to write things down and could hear whether people understood me.

5. How are your sea legs (i.e., do you get seasick easily or are you a born sailor, or something in between)?

Terrible. I haven't been to sea in about forty years, but whenever I did I felt really sick (never got sick). Though then again, I was fine on the Shannon cruise...

6. What is your take on cryptocurrency?

Don't understand it, don't want to. It's never going to be a thing no matter how much Musk pushes it. The fact that the value of a bitcoin can apparently fluctuate wildly from day to day, even hour to hour, makes it hard, even impossible to see how it could ever become a viable currency. And not everyone has a computer and access to the internet. So there.

I suppose alone. I'm not particularly social either way, so what the hell. It would be nice if that place could fit a soulmate though.

2. What sort of headphones do you use?

Roland RH-2000

3. If you had faith, when, if ever, did you lose it and why?

Never ha, never will. One might call me a strident atheist, religion had always either baffled or annoyed me.

4. If you had to choose between being blind, deaf or dumb, which would you pick?

Blind or dumb. Blind I guess

5. How are your sea legs (i.e., do you get seasick easily or are you a born sailor, or something in between)?

A born sailor.

6. What is your take on cryptocurrency?

It will either disappear in a couple of years or it will completely change the world (for the worst)

1. What is your favourite piece of classical music?
Pretty much an impossible question to answer, but for now I'll go with Mahler's 9th symphony
2. At what age did you begin drinking?
At 18, like a good little law-abiding citizen (by Norwegian law anyway)
3. Would you rather live under a benevolent dictator or an incompetent president?
An incompetent president. Easier to remove from power
4. What material do you believe has had the most impact on humanity?
Maybe copper, because of its application as a conductor of electricity, but yeah oil is also a good answer
5. What’s your favourite plant or flower?
Don't have one
6. What mystery would you like to see solved?
I think it would be cool to know what actually happened in the Dyatlov Pass Incident, although it probably isn't the most important mystery to solve in the grand scheme of things
