    My definition of philosophy would probably be the study of knowledge; of why something happened a certain way it did or the purpose of the human race on Earth. It's also the study of reality and how things really are and where they will be in the future. I have never learned about philosophy but I have always loved the thinking behind it. I do not have a favorite philosopher but I hope to have one by the time I finish this course! My current philosophy of life is pretty shitty currently, the human race is abusing the planet, nothing is what it seems to be, and we are controlled by a government whose only goal is to turn everyone into consumers regardless of the dishonesty the comes with it!

  2. "Would you like to have attended Plato's or Aristotle's schools? yes or no? Why?"
    -No, and it's purely because I do NOT want to do anymore schooling piled on top of what I already am going through.

    Do you consider yourself an active or a sedentary person, by preference?
    -I definitely LOVE Netflix but I also know that my average walking distance per day is MUCH higher than 350 yards. So I would say I'm a good middle ground, but if I had to pick: Active

    Are you a good listener?
    -I am always happy to learn more, I greatly enjoy hearing other peoples perspectives, because they provide the potential to help widen mine.

    Are Americans especially prone to be gullible when confronted with false claims and "advertizing"?
    -Personally I think Americans are less likely to be tricked into buying a bad item because most Americans deal with an intense amount of false advertising on practically a daily basis.

    What's the most memorable outdoor experience you've ever had?
    -I went on a camping trip with my Boy Scout Troop and we were there for a full weekend and it STORMED for 90%. A new scout's tent got blown away in the wind one morning, and my tent was FLOATING on water. I had to let an extra person sleep in my tent because his was very waterlogged. But I learned a lot from it, and I now fully understand the statement, "things can always get worse"

    Have you ever attempted to share your beliefs, convictions, core principles? (etc)
    -Yes, but it never works out. Everyone is different and follows their own special "code". And if you try and explain your beliefs to another, you better have a silver tongue.
