You're a good guy.

That's pretty cool, actually.

I understand EXACTLY what you mean.

I recommend big-scary-traveling at least once. Whether it's awesome or it ends up being awful, you'll still be a different person at the end of it.

Thanks for those!

Man, you seem like a philosopher ALREADY. Ever read/listened to any Allen Watts?

Do some acting, even voice acting, and be good enough that people invite me to conventions.

That woman was not taking the experiment seriously at all, but I wonder how much of that was affected by things like: The appearance of the robot (that is not a cat, I don't care what you say.), the environment, the language the robot was speaking, and how she thought the robot was "thinking". That is, would test subjects be more "merciful" to a robot if they were told "This robot is dynamically deciding what to say based on your actions" as opposed to "We've given this robot a set group of pre-programmed responses which will play in order as you shut it down."

What kind of business would you like to start?

Co-operative employment? How's that work being a chemical engineer?

And after reading that essay, what do you think you'll be looking into next?

Grad school, and I know where I want to go (Human-Computer Interaction and... some related stuff) but I'm not sure how to get there. It's more than just that general topic though, I know I never want my own kids, but that I DO want to be an aunt or mentor. I know where I want to live, how I want to live... It's like I'm done "finding myself" and need to figure out what to do with that knowledge.

You're quite the entrepreneur.
