1) What is your highest hope?
To see the human race grow up and leave our adolescence behind, which is to say: to grab the stars instead of merely reach for them. To see the value of a human life not be measured by what kind of labor you are willing to sell, or how much money you have, or whether you worship the regionally-acceptable sky daddy, but by the compassion and care you show for your fellow man. To see an end to religion and money and scarcity.
2) Do you live your life as if determinism was true?
I live my life as if it doesn't matter, because it doesn't. Either I actually have the ability to subtly alter the progression of events, or I don't, but my ability to trace events backwards (and to use that model as a predictive tool) is so limited that apparently random events are, in a practical sense, actually random for me.
