What do you think is the future of AI?

View all responses

AI will ruin our environment and contribute to further global warming/climate change so our environment will most likely get worse. Jobs will also become more and more rare because the automation of AI and robots will take over most fields except a few. Even then expect to see them assisting in such fields, healthcare is a good example. Most will not trust a robot to take care of them or prescribe medicines or anything like that, so human judgment and presence is still needed. Maybe even more so than ever as AI becomes more prevalent. Education and schools will get worse because AI contributes to cognitive surrender, meaning people no longer want to think and use their brains. Not saying they can’t but AI makes it easier to just surrender that motivation to look for or research topics or answers.  No one can predict the future of AI, but seeing what it has already done to our world, the only thing for certain we can say is that AI is here to stay. Whether it’s for the better or worse.

How do you manage stress?

View all responses

I don’t manage it well in all honesty. I tend to suppress my stress a lot and just dwell on it. So, I will think excessively on what my stress leads to future wise and see how I can handle it from there. A lot of dwelling and thinking when I’m stressed. Trying to do better in that regard, because it’s not healthy in the long run, or at all.

What does it mean to be a good person?

A good person is different for everyone. I would say a good person is someone who is willing to do what is right, even when no one is watching. Even better, to really see someone’s true character in my opinion. Watch how they treat someone who have nothing to give them or gain from them. Not that if paints an absolute definitive on a person’s character, but it is definitely one of the most effective ways to test someone’s character. Integrity is probably the biggest characteristics that all good people have, but of course it’s subjective so what one finds to be in a good person, might be totally different to another.

What are your favorite 5 apps on your phone?

View all responses

My five favorite apps on my phone are Reddit, YouTube, Newsbreak, Google and the Play Store. Reddit and YouTube are my most common used apps. I use Newsbreak for the occasional news. Google is Google and the Play Store because I genuinely couldn’t think of anything else I really use my phone for besides the first four apps.

What’s a moment when a stranger completely restored your faith in people?

View all responses

I can’t recall a specific moment as of lately, but people who go out of their way to help the homeless are angels in my eyes. Those who genuinely do it to help not just doing it because people are watching and so forth. Society as a whole is becoming more and more desensitized to homeless people. And although there are things like food banks to assist, it’s still a mentality of it will never happen to me, until an unfortunate circumstance proves otherwise. For all the bad things seen in the world, there are people doing good in the shadows, and regardless of how bleak things are, there is always faith and hope in this world. It’s just a shame it’s mostly overshadowed for the most part.

If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say?

View all responses

Consistency is key, again consistency is key. No one ever gets good at anything but doing it sporadically or within erratic intervals. Someone who does a little bit of something every day will end up better than someone who is more talented but doesn’t put in as much effort. I hope I still have this mentality, and my future self can still tell me this, Cause, I tend to be very inconsistent with my endeavors and such. And even when one is at the top, it’s not an excuse to stop grinding. Life is unpredictable like that, and things can change just like that.

What’s a thing you wish schools actually taught?

View all responses

I wish schools taught more practical things such as doing taxes, not the Personal Economics and Finance classes don’t really count. Since they don’t really go into the grit of finance and besides, they are optional not required. Knowing how to change a tire is also a good one that schools don’t teach kids at all. It’s just small things that are parents are expected to teach their kids, outside of school. It would definitely make kids more prepared for life, outside of studies of course.

Do you think everything happens for a reason?

View all responses

I believe that saying goes to an extent. Actions done today shape the future of further tomorrows. Not everything is a simple culmination of fate, some situations are just deserved comeuppance, whether it’s in a good or bad lens. So yes, everything does happen for a reason, but it’s a little much to say it defines everything.

What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it?

View all responses

Definitely Reddit, and yes, I feel bad about it. Within every 4 hours I spend mindlessly scrolling, I could have taken a walk outside, could have learned a language. I could have read books in that timeframe; I could have done so much more productive things, but I chose to do Reddit instead. Even though, it’s a discussion forum, social media is still social media. Truth be told, as a whole society we all have phone addictions, but no one wants to admit it. We hear common criticisms about kids being on iPads and technology all the time and stunting their brains early, but are we really any better?

What is the best excuse you have heard lately?

View all responses

Not as of lately, but in general. I’ll do it later or I’ll do it tomorrow when something doesn’t get done that you were promised to have done or told yourself you were going to do. Why, because I tend to do this a lot myself. Procrastination is truly a beautiful thing.
