What is your quest?
Not the college-polished liberal arts answers I expected:
- i'm still waiting for the call to action tbh
- still figuring that out
- I don't know
Short-term thinkers and those with pretty feasible goals:
- sleep
- eat 2015's chocolate award winners
- not puke after watching a romcom
- to finish the current problem set
- to make it through the day
- over to the left a bit
- sort things
- to finally get to October break
Long-term and big picture thinkers:
- to find a nice farm to settle down in
- to find the meaning of my one and only life
- to sell vacuum cleaners in n cities, driving as few miles as possible
- find my quest
- to make myself and others happy
- to be the best there ever was
- seek ultimate fun in life
- join moon
- to get vim commands to work in google docs
I'm not sure that "join moon" should be interpreted literally. Maybe it's a cult thing?
There were some context-free superlatives:
- be the best
- to be the very best
- to be the best there ever was
This last one, it turns out, was a frequent verbatim response, sometimes extending for several more lines. I had to do an internet search to find my missing cultural context, because I am an old person and not hip or cool.
The obvious answers (I can hear it, with accent and cadence, in my head):
- to find the Holy Grail
- I don't know thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-----
[ed. note: the line trailed off and upwards into the margin]
The "playing for brownie points" award goes to my favorite: "to reach node v of graph G".
This post's theme word is manumit, "to free from slavery." A valuable life's work is to maximally manumit.
