hypothetical questions

[Woodsey]

1. not get the surgery. I would find myself dead with a reduced intellect.
2. No, but only because I don't like seeing my family.

2: I don't have dreams.

Then you are dead. Dreams are part the REM which is necessary for your brain to repair itself and for you to live. You not remembering your dream is a different story though.

Fun Fact: hallucinations you get when you are sleep deprived is your brain REMing when you are awake so you don't die

Correctumundo.

1) i refuse the operation. even if i die as a result, i rely on my intellect for to many things, and i do not actually want to live if it means losing it. death is a nicer alternative.

2) no. my dreams are seriously messed up. there is no way i am letting anyone else watch them.

1 I'd spend the the two weeks in academic ecstasy (reading advanced physics books, building robots, tormenting monkeys at the zoo, etc.) the rest of my life would involve massive amounts of drugs.

2 I probably wouldn't buy a machine that lets me see things I can see in my head at any time...

My question: If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, can we get ice cream?

Yes...yes we can.My treat.

I'm going to hold you to that.

Ok. What kind of ice cream do you want?

I don't care. I'm not paying. Come on everyone, free ice cream! (Unless your user-name is Wheeeee.)

.....

FINE! Ice cream for everyone! Just don't blame me if you guys happen to pass out for an eternity.

i would love the chance to show my friend how vivid that dream was where she was eating my leg. that would be awesome. i would jump at that chance. they're just dreams after all... as for the first one...
...idk if i could live with stunted intelligence, everyone has a different definition of the purpose of life... mine personally is to learn as much as you can in the short time you have... and if possible contribute to the collective IQ and library of information... i couldn't live without being able to contribute to that...

I don't know if I'd get the operation, to be honest.

 

[Wilfy]

1. No operation, I'd just do everything I've always wanted to do and face death. What's the point in losing all my good memories?

2. Yes, unless it records day-dreams. They're a lot more personal than regular dreams.

. You have a brain tumor, however, your life can and will be saved by an operation that will happen in two weeks.. This operation will cause serious damage to your frontal lobe and afterwards, you will be significantly less intelligent, have a poor memory and have a much harder time understanding complex concepts. How do you spend your next two weeks?

2. Someone finally invents a dream VCR, a VCR that records dreams. However, the inventor will only allow you to watch your dreams in the presence of your closest friends and family. Do you still watch your dreams?

1. Prepare myself for my new career as an MP!
2. Sure why not, not much I can do if they have an issue what I dream then screw them.
