In each of the 'would you rathers' it gives you two options to choose from, but in this thread each of the two options is the same except for the first one which is the one I am most curios to which you would rather choose from.

Neither---learn and understand what I deem necessary.

Neither---adapt to natural events and survive them.

or
-Be able to travel through time

Neither---travel using only my feet, walking or running, depending on what's needed at the time.

or

Neither---walking or running works just fine.

Being an inanimate object makes the most sense---it is not logical to be 'life.'

-Have a prestigious reputation around the world as the smartest person in history
or
-Be King or Leader of Earth

Neither---live as anonymously as possible.

There are never only two choices---always at least three.

None of the above is of any interest.

Sounds like a questionaire for entry to the School for Superheroes.

Doggy, where did you dig this up, and why?

Sounds like questions from a type of boardgame designed to keep the guests entertained by asking if they'd rather do 'A' or 'B'. It's pretty lame to my mind. Really it's purpose is to get a bunch of people high off of openly agreeing with each other over impossible scenarios.

That's the 'fun' of it as I gather, what do you think? ;)

I think the questions are pretty neat. They force a person who considers them to imagine scenarios that they might otherwise not be prone to think about. Given that imagination is vital to critical thinking, I think a consideration of such questions is a worthwhile activity to any who would find it amusing to do as much.
