Name three dead people you would like to meet.

[Borabora]

1. God
2. Buddha
3. Jesus Christ

 

[BPD Barbie]

Both my grandparents, I knew them both but there isn't anyone else dead I'd want to meet. Even just 30 seconds with them would do.

 

[a.n.kirillov]

1. God
2. Chopin, for piano lessons
3. Socrates
.
Every person you idolize will be a disappointment in person though, dead or alive.

These are also some dead people I'd like to meet too. But could only pick 3. I like to see what some famous people really looked like.

My brother.

 

[Jean Améry]

My brother.

I'm sorry for your loss.

In your case, considering the names on your list, I think it's safe to say you won't be.

Alexander the Great, Arthur Schopenhauer, Seneca the younger.

@Jean Améry gets 1 hour to talk to Alexander the Great

Spends it all asking questions about Aristotle

:-)
Better luck next time!

 

[pete_x]

The one guy who made that thing.
That lady from that one show I used to watch.
That guy with the stupid hat.

 

[in_the_end]

1) Freddie Mercury
2) my ex girlfriend's uncle. From what she said, I think we would have many things to talk about and we would get along
3) Peron y Evita. I have many questions to ask them (yes, I am Argentine)

It would certainly be an hour well spent. It's difficult to determine who was truly the greatest: the conqueror of the world or the conqueror of the mind and the inventor of whole sciences. Whitehead wrote that the whole of western philosophy is really nothing more than a selection of footnotes to Plato but the work of Aristotle truly is astounding as well. In a way he turned to the earth while his teacher Plato looked at the sky: in a way that is quite representative of our western civilization always torn between the sublime and the down to earth, the unknowable and the knowable.

What would be most interesting is to find out what these great men were really like. Something we will sadly never know.

 

[bukowski]

Bukowski, Kerouac, Hemingway

Bukowski, Kerouac, Hemingway

Imagine having a cold daiquiri with Hemingway at his finca outside Havana.
Or going merlin fishing in his boat. They say he was a wonderful story teller, so good that it was impossible to tell where facts ended and fiction began.

 

[Notwinnernotawin]

1) My grandmother on my mom's side
2) My grandfather on the same side
3) Michael Jackson. I need to know what he was up to, so I can blast his songs without feeling bad about it.

 

[Shero]

1)Father
2)Grandmother
3)A girl

 

[BlackPoppet]

Rik Mayall, Kurt Cobain, David Bowie.

 

[enjolras]

Who is Rik Mayall ?

Abi x3

 

[sadbunny]

Marilyn Monroe
Edie Sedgwick
Chester Bennington

 

[Hydration]

1. John F. Kennedy
2. Louis Armstrong
3. Robin Williams

 

[ArtsyDrawer]

I'm assuming I have some omnitranslator so that communication is not an issue.

1. Diogenes (although getting him to stay in one spot for a chat would be insanely difficult).
2. Robin Williams, maybe, if he was in the mood to have a man cry on his shoulder.

Here comes the issue of my mother. I'm a shame to the family. On the other hand, it's my fucking mother.
Would I want to see mom again after all these years?
I don't know if I can answer that.

 

[Ijustneeditalltostop]

2. Pelle Ohlin

Wow was gonna say that

 

[Myforevercharlie]

Wow was gonna say that

We can meet him together

 

[Ijustneeditalltostop]

1_ Fyodor Dostoevsky
2_ Pelle Ohlin
3_ my grandma

 

[Philosykos]

Cobain, Curtis and Tolkien. If I ctb this year, I'll join the Forever 27 Club so maybe I'll get to meet Joplin, Hendrix and Morrison. I hope they'll let me join even though I'm not famous.

In all seriousness though, I don't believe in an afterlife, but if I could fantasise about one for a moment, I would love for it to be something like Imaginationland in South Park where I could meet all the fictional characters I have fallen in love with here on Earth.

 

[gnomeboy17]

Just relatives, there are quite a few who died before I was born that apparently would've got on well with me. I don't really have any siblings or cousins and I just feel so alone. I think they could give me some wisdom and guidance that may help me see a reason to live

 

[BlackPoppet]

Who is Rik Mayall ?

Abi x3

He was an actor ( British) he was in a rude, crude punk student series called " The young ones" and in a series called " Bottom" about two loser guys who were at rock bottom. He's been in a film called " Dro dead Fred" with the late Carrie Fisher.
And of course I want to meet Abi!!! She was just so cool and fascinating!! An icon in her own right!!
