Ender: A self-interview 08-02-2017, 01:32 AM
#1
This is in serious discussion because I want serious responses.
The most important things are highlighted.
Self-interview:
What major are gonna go for?
Probably CS, maybe biology, neurology, something with math, electrical engineering, astrophysics, or theoretical physics
Minor?
CS, biology, neurology, something with math, electrical engineering, astrophysics, or a different physics. Maybe economics, nano-engineering, or marketing.
Can't you choose one?
No
Do you even want to go to college
Yeah... I think so... Wait, do I really want to go? My only real reason is to learn, but can't I learn everything online?
Ok... What do you want to do after college?
Start a company.
What kind?
Technology
Software or hardware?
I'll probably start with software and then maybe do some hardware.
What kind of software
Why the hell is this so specific? I dunno, maybe something like GitHub.
What do you mean by that?
Something available on a website that you interface to from local software.
Do you want to get married
To an extent.
Do you want to have kids?
At some point.
Do you know how many you want?
2, with a 5-8.5 year age gap.
What are your main life goals?
It's an extension of the first. Â I want to be able to continue learning for as long as possible.
Do you think you'll succeed with your goals?
What do you enjoy doing?
I like making things, thinking, and learning.
Examples?
Learning random calculus, 3 years ahead of when I'm supposed to learn it, figuring out how things work, learning how to program new things, and debating philosophy.
What are some things that you dislike?
What main things do you do that aren't productive?
Favorite scientist?
Da Vinci or Tesla
Best friend?
Probably @"CC.py", I can't think of any other good candidates.
How long do you keep in touch with friends for?
Usually until I stop being in close physical proximity of them.
What do you think is wrong with the world?
A lot of things.
Can we fix those things?
Some of them.
Favorite nonprofit?
Probably Wikipedia
Current favorite entrepreneur?
Elon Musk.
What do you think of Trump?
I think he has no idea what he is talking about.
Do you prefer Hilary?
Probably not.
What political party would you classify yourself as?
Independant
Do you believe in God?
I believe that a God's existence is unprovable, but so is the lack of it... So I default to atheism. (We also can't prove that we aren't a simulation.)
Do you believe reality is a simulation
I believe it is possible and likely, but I do not believe it is definitely so.
Does that matter?
Not at all.
Do you have aspergers?
Maybe, I'm not completely sure.
Aren't all these questions pointless considering your age?
Screw age, but think what you want. Â Many of you have known me for long enough to put me into a category here.
I would appreciate help with thinking about college stuff. Â
Share your thoughts on all my stuff.
If you want to know anything, ask. I don't see why you would care enough about some random guy online to want to know shit about his life. Â This thread is intended to be more of a 'help me with X' thread than a 'here's something that you would like to know' thread.
PS: CC said this seemed narcissistic... The point of this thread is for me to hear your ideas about me, not just to write about myself.
