Would you rather...

1. Would you rather marry someone who is truly selfish or truly insane (i.e. they have diagnosed psychological/cognitive disorder like schizophrenia, psychosis, etc).
2. Imagine you have two choices for a pet and you have to make a choice. Both pets have the ability to speak and understand English. One is a sarcastic and depressed cat and the other is a fun-loving and compassionate dog. If you choose the cat, you will be paid $200/week. If you choose the dog, you will have to pay $200/week. The cat will most likely complain about everything and be a burden on your professional and social life. The cat is also prone to violent outbursts. The dog on the other hand, will not only be energetic, witty, and smart but will also provide you a warm friendship. Once you make the choice, you have to keep the pet for a minimum of one year.
3. You visit a strange travel agency that has in its possession advanced technology. You have two choices for your vacation: (1) A trip back in time or (2) a memory implant of anywhere, ever (i.e. anywhere in the galaxy). Both options cost the same. The trip back in time allows you to visit any time period and location on Earth (except for when the Earth was first forming as it is too unstable). However, to protect the space-time continuum, you can not move from a specified travel area, which is a circle with a 250-foot radius. If you leave this travel area, you will be killed. The trip lasts one hour. The memory implant allows you to "remember" vividly a trip that you hypothetically took. This trip is completely made-up and did not happen. But it will feel like it did. You will remember tiny details and sensory input. It's the same thing in Total Recall. This trip lasts (or feels like it lasted) two days. And you can go anywhere. You can orbit Saturn. You can chill in a cabana in Maui. But it never really happened. Which do you choose?
4. You are about to die. When suddenly, a mysterious stranger appears and gives you two options, both of which will save your life. The first option is to imbue you will magic powers. The magic option will save you from whatever is about to kill you and return you (if you're old) to a youthful age and grant you a multitude of powers. The second option converts your consciousness into a digital format and uploads it to the Internet. But there are some side effects to both options. With the magic option, in order to survive, you have to use magic (i.e. throw fireballs, teleport, turn invisible, etc) which ages you; the more magic you use, the older you become. In the second option, you lose your physical body and can never return to it. While in a digital format, you gain all the benefits of other digital files (speed, duplication, storage, communication, etc). You can visit friends and family (as long as they have a computer or smart phone). You can even upload yourself to games and live in the world of the game. The digital self option renders you nearly immortal. The magic option, depending on how addicted you become to the power of the magic, could kill you quicker than you think. Which do you choose?
5. You are a journalist who has just uncovered a terrible secret about American society: for the past twenty years, aliens have been living amongst us. They plan to overthrow the government and name of their own as the leader. You don't know how many aliens are impersonating humans but you estimate it at around 400,000. The aliens have powerful technology that they are saving for the overthrow. You also know that certain members of the government (at the local, state, and federal levels) are aliens, but you don't know exactly who. Also, there are others like you, who know about the impending invasion. Knowing all this, do you (a) spread the word publicly with verifiable proof or (b) build a secret underground resistance made of people who know the truth?
