Ylan’s Adaptation

• You have a brain tumor. Though there is no discomfort at the moment, this tumor would unquestionably kill you in six months. However, your life can (and will) be saved by an operation; the only downside is that there will be a brutal incision to your frontal lobe. After the surgery, you will be significantly less intelligent. You will still be a fully functioning adult, but you will be less logical, you will have a terrible memory, and you will have little ability to understand complex concepts or difficult ideas. The surgery is in two weeks.

How do you spend the next fourteen days?

ans: I think i won’t have the surgery if it would mean i’ll be a big trouble after. With or without the surgery, i’d spend most of my time with my family, doing anything under the sun, as long as my state of health permits.

• Every person you have ever slept with is invited to a banquet where you are the guest of honor. No one will be in attendance except you, the collection of your former lovers, and the catering service. After the meal, you are asked to give a fifteen-minute speech to the assembly.

What do you talk about?

ans: Haha, this is funny! First because i don’t sleep around. But for the sake of discussion - If this ever happens, i’d probably just thank them for coming into my life and talk how each of them have impacted my life. Naks! As if!

• You have won a prize. The prize has two options, and you can choose either (but not both). The first option is a year in Europe with a monthly stipend of $2,000. The second option is ten minutes on the moon.

Which option do you select?

ans: Tough question but i’d choose going to Europe. While it’s true that only very very very few can go to the moon, it does not excite me enough. I’d leave the moon voyage to the scientists and bored billionares. Going to Europe would mean a lot to me since it’s a life long dream. Every second while in Europe is something i’d cherish than the 10-minute stay in the moon.
