    Global warming.

    Oh sorry, tony, that was for Clopin. Yes, I'd do that, and have done it with a friend of about 35 years, but not to cause pain. It was just necessary and I didn't flinch from doing it.

    Would you ever join the military (assuming there was no draft?)

    Ugh I have no idea about whether man made climate change is real, I do however know that a few billion people in China and India as well as the rest of the developing world are going to want cars and homes and refrigerators and other luxuries we enjoy in the West, which contribute massively to pollutions, etc, and there's no way to stop that.

    Yes I would join the military, but not in today's world.

    Would you ever want a very exotic pet, like a lynx or a small deer?

    I want a fennec fox all the time! Pandas would also be great. But I shouldn't have one.

    What do you want for your next birthday?

    Woah fennec foxes are cute!

    I don't really celebrate my birthday, my parents will probably just get me some books.

    Antique furniture or new?

    Anything minimalist, so probably new.

    Should an artist's education emphasize standardized practices or a 'do what you feel like' approach, if you had to choose?

    Do what you feel. Then it isn't forced by any preconceived standards.

    In art is realism or abstract more your style
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Definitiely abstract and/or abstract realism. It is very difficult for realist art to actually be art. In painting or sculpture, realistic art usually just connotes a high level of craft without much, if any, artistic vision. In literature, it is often the same. Realist literature rarely involves artistic use of language, artistic use of narrative, or philosophical profundity. Of course, many--including me--would argue that abstract Modernist/Postmodernist art is a more accurate presentation of reality than "realism."

    How inferior to your taste could your significant other's artistic tastes be before you could no longer be with him or her?

    I like both. That means twice the pleasure, right?

    What is the largest animal you have seen in the wild?

    I've seen a blue whale and also some kind of huge ray when someone caught one while fishing off the wharf.

    Did you doodle when you were bored in school?

    That's awesome, Lykren. I've mostly seen humpbacks--what amazing lifeforms!

    No because, um, I never got bored in school.

    Would you rather live in an ant farm or a bee hive?

    That is more awesome.

    Ant farm? Both seem terrifying though.

    What animal are you most afraid of?

    Second from the bottom. Highly toxic, strike at anything, and like to hand around Taipei gutters. Really bad news.

    Same question.

    Wow, even the Latin name is scary.

    I'm not aware of any animals I need to be scared of, but I'll go with Black Widow Spiders.

    Would you keep a snake as a pet?
