So it occurred to me today that I never posted what I would pick on those little choice thingies I gave you guys on the fourth. So here are my answers (plus short justifications. I say “short” because you all know me, I could go on for reams).

Choice set 1
Option A: You are shown your future at a certain point in time (say, at age 40), and you have no way of changing it no matter what choices you make.
Option B: You are shown the same point in your future and you are given no hints as you how you got there.

After much deliberation, I choose option A on this one. I personally think that it would be worse to see a point in your future and have no hints as to how you got there then to see the same point and no that, no matter what you do, you will get to that point. Heck, if it’s a good point, then if you choose option A, you can do whatever you want in life until that point in time and still get to that point. If the point in time is good and you choose option B, you will be deliberating with yourself over every single choice you make in life, wondering which option will get you to that point. Wouldn’t that suck?

Choice set 2
Option A: You will never be able to trust anyone again.
Option B: You will never be able to be trusted again.

Option A, easily. I don’t really need much of an explanation for this, I think. I know I’m trustworthy. I don’t believe much that other people are. I can trust myself, and therefore I would rather have other people be able to trust me as well.

Choice set 3
Option A: Be completely left in the dark when it comes to others’ opinions about you (they can’t tell you, etc.)
Option B: Know everything (both good and bad) everyone’s ever said about you behind your back.

Option B. I know for a fact that there have been a lot of bad things said about me behind my back, but I would much rather know everything (including the good and the bad) that people vocalize about me than not get any feedback at all. Where’s the fun in that? If you’re going to hate me, freaking tell me.

Choice set 4
Option A: Never have the capacity to love.
Option B: Never be able to be loved.

I choose option B. I would much rather love without it being reciprocated than to have someone chasing me around saying they love me with me all the while unable to feel the love back. With option B you can fantasize all you want, anyway.

There ya go!
