The three questions i ask everybody i meet in order to decide if i can love them:

1. Let us assume you met a rudimentary magician. let us assume he can do five simple tricks--he can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he can make a coin disappear, he can turn the ace of spades into the joker card, and two others in a similar vein. these are his only tricks and he cant learn anymore;he can only do these five. HOWEVER, it turns out he is doind these five tricks with real magic. it's not an illusion; he can actually conjure the bunny out of ether and he can move the coin through space. he's legitimately magical, but extremely limited in scope and influence. Would this person be more impressive than Albert Einstein?

2. Let us assume that a fully grown, completely healthy Clydesdale horse has his hooves shackled to the ground while his head is held in place with thick rope. he is comscious and stadning upright, but completely immobile. and let us assume that--for some reason--every political prisoner on earth will be realeased from captivity if you can kick this horse to death in less than twenty minutes. you are allowed to wear steel-toed boots. Would you attempt to do this?

3. Let us assume that there are two boxes on a table. in one box is a relatively normal turtle; in the other, Adolf Hilter's skull. you have to select one of these items for your home. if you select the turtle, you cant give it away and you must keep it alive for two years; if either of these parameters are not met, you will be fined $999 bby th state. if you select Hiltler's skull, you are required to display it in a semiprominent location in your livingroom for the same amount of time, although you will be paid a stipend of $120 per month for doing so. display of the skull must be apolitical. Which option do you select?
