See, there were these two guys in a lunatic asylum… and one night, one night they decide they don’t like living in an asylum any more. They decide they’re going to escape! So, like, they get up onto the roof, and there, just across this narrow gap, they see the rooftops of the town, stretching away in the moon light… stretching away to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across with no problem. But his friend, his friend did not dare make the leap. Y’see… Y’see, he’s afraid of falling. So then, the first guy has an idea… He says ‘Hey! I have my flashlight with me! I’ll shine it across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam and join me!’ B-but the second guy just shakes his head. He suh-says… He says ‘Wh-what do you think I am? Crazy? You’d turn it off when I was half way across!’

I think all people are equally worthy of and entitled to their existence. Worth or value is a much trickier thing to define and is very subjective. I don’t think it’s particularly moral or ethical to try to measure the value of human life against other human life.

Basically good I think.

I don’t. If a god does exist, it doesn’t impact my life in any way. The religious concept of god as it exists on Earth is very clearly a construct of the human need to explain and understand our environment and is a throwback to the days before we had the tools to do so properly. It’s superstition whose only purpose is to control people and make them do what the originators of any given religion wanted them to do.

I see no evidence of that.
70:Do you vote? Why / Why not? If you do vote, how do you usually vote?

Sexual orientation is definitely not a choice.

Never. Torture is unethical, immoral, and wholly unreliable.
73:Would you kill an innocent person if you thought it might mean saving a dozen other people?
No.
74:What’s the most money you’ve ever given away?
I guess around $850 to pay someone’s rent when they couldn’t.
75:What’s the biggest personal change you’ve ever made?
I guess back in 2012 when I started going to the gym regularly.
76:What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done?
I have no idea, there’s so much to choose from.
77:What do you think would be one of the best steps we could take toward ending poverty around the world?
Well, I’d suggest that if the United States were to cut its Military budget by 75% they could pretty much end poverty and hunger, industrialize the third world, and still have have a military that trumps any other in the world.
78:What do you think we could do to best improve the education system?
First, it needs to be made free and universal. Then it needs to abandon its reliance on standardized testing which only teaches people to pass tests.
