A good philosophical question: If you were the last person left alive on Earth?

Jacob Samorodin — 12/29/2007 7:16:28 PM (archived)

Yea, this question is derived from the scenario
in the movie, I Am Legend.

BTAIM, what would you do in a situation where you are indeed the last living person on Earth?....No space colonists....No ET life anywhere.

Would you for instance take a terminal dose of black heroin as a fellow worker stated
he would?

Would you pour out curses from your mouth, ranting and raving?

Would you ponder if it [your life] was worth it?

Would you leave a time capsule?
