Every week I will post a new thread with series of 5 questions per week that should make you think a little. Because of this, you can take your time to answer, answer them at once, or just pick which you want to answer.
This week's set of questions are:
Q: How long will you be remembered after you die?
Q: If a child somehow survived and grew up in the wilderness without any human contact, how “human” would they be without the influence of society and culture?
Q: Where does your self-worth come from?
Q: How would humanity change if all humans’ life expectancy was significantly increased (let’s say to around 500 years)?
That would require being remembered when I'm alive.
Q: If a child somehow survived and grew up in the wilderness without any human contact, how “human” would they be without the influence of society and culture?
The child would still be human in the sense that it is of our species. The child would not learn language or how to live in society, but the child would have gained some skills required to stay alive that most people lack. That being said, the child would be more advanced than we are in a sense.
Q: Where does your self-worth come from?
It comes from my significant other, my child, and all the kids I'm able to help through my work.
Q: How would humanity change if all humans’ life expectancy was significantly increased (let’s say to around 500 years)?
I feel like people would be less motivated by their own mortality and thus less likely to be obsessed with achievement and success. This is a theme in the plot of Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.
Q: Where do you find meaning in your life?
The meaning in my life comes from my significant other, my child, and helping kids through my work.
Being remembered while you are alive is better than being remembered after you died.
Q: If a child somehow survived and grew up in the wilderness without any human contact, how “human” would they be without the influence of society and culture?
This only happens in films.
Q: Where does your self-worth come from?
Confidence.
Q: How would humanity change if all humans’ life expectancy was significantly increased (let’s say to around 500 years)?
Q: If a child somehow survived and grew up in the wilderness without any human contact, how “human” would they be without the influence of society and culture?
Probably wouldn't really be a human, even though genetically they are.
Q: Where does your self-worth come from?
How you look at yourself.
Q: How would humanity change if all humans’ life expectancy was significantly increased (let’s say to around 500 years)?
