POP QUIZ 24/03/2012 (5 points)

This is a quiz on our views of the future. There are no wrong answers, and I do not pretend to have "right" answers. The best answers will draw from personal understanding and rest on broad agreement.
[All scores over 4.5 will get a free "Q is for Qaliqo" T-shirt!]

1. Look to the future; what do we see?

2. Are our eyes closed?
a. Are we peeking, one eye open?
b. Are we blankly staring?

3. Are our eyes seeing?
a. Are we facing that direction?
b. Are we focused on what we should be?

4. Can our eyes adjust to the light level?
a. Is it too bright?
b. Is it too dim?

5. Can our minds interpret what is there?
a. Is it too complex in detail?
b. Is it too vague, almost featureless?

  1. Example:
    1. We see what we want to see; visualization of the T-shirt is an uncertain but mentally useful technique.

    2. Our eyes are closed to what we don't want to see.
    2a. From time to time we're all afraid to look!
    2b. Like a car wreck, it's hard not to gawk.

    3. We have to assume they are.
    3a. Not if we're busy confronting the past.
    3b. The light at the end of the tunnel might be an oncoming train?

    4. In the dark we live...
    4a. Blinding.
    4b. Only if we're still in the dark!

    5. To an extent, probably.
    5a. Beyond imagination.
    5b. It's easy enough to overlook?

    [Not great answers, but answers in response to the questions, which is more than I should expect, right?]
