On behalf of Chuck Klosterman...
Edit: For those wondering, these questions are a subset of Chuck Klosterman's Hypertheticals. I'd have included more but Reddit only allows 10,000 characters per reply.
Do you know about these?
I've always thought Hypertheticals could be interesting podcast fodder.
HYPERtheticals. Bring it on, u/shoppingbot! I got this for my girlfriend at some Christmas, is fun on road trips.
Gift one:[have been dreaming of the day i get a rainbow dash backpack] (http://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Rainbow-Plush/dp/B00AD9DVUY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1ACYBPXW50GS&coliid=I3AJSFZGMS037R) or even [to become boba fett] (http://www.amazon.com/Darker-Fleece-Hoodie-Multi-Colored-XX-Large/dp/B009ST66GG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=YCQA0VLK1CQ8&coliid=I3RPOIYG8GZ332&psc=1)

it's epic - based off this prompt, you'd love it
That was precisely its point, I think. I recall trying to compare it to many moves; Pick something like The Shawshank Redemption - which is fantastic - and you have an absolute right and an absolute wrong. At the end of Gone Baby Gone you are starkly reminded that many, many situations are not so black-and-white.
Also: If you enjoyed the ensuing conversation, I highly recommend this set by one of my favorite authors. 50 questions designed to have no wrong answer, tons of fun to share with a bunch of friends... or smart people who disagree with eachother.
So I have this card game thing based on Chuck Klosterman's essay about weird questions to ask people that are better than small talk. For a while I started using questions from this game as openers. I wouldn't say it was super successful, but at least it was different. Small tangent: I sent one of these to a girl on OKC once and she came right out of the gate at me aggressively asking if how the other women I send the same thing to respond. We ended up having an exchange in the vein of maybe dating might be more fun and fruitful if you didn't go around immediately treating every guy like he's an asshole that deserves to be smacked down. The convo ended friendly and with a better understanding of each other, but she also successfully locked herself in as a "fuck no".
> Wonder why that awesome guy might not be messaging you? Maybe he's too worried he'll come off as a creep, or his bumbling nervous opener will be posted to a site and mocked mercilessly, even though he's just trying his best.
Thanks for mentioning this. I have felt similar things reading this sub, myself.
They got them while they were on their Road to E3 trip last year, but here they are on Amazon.
A reader of Hypertheticals I see! I love these conversation starters.
I just bought [these] (http://www.amazon.com/HYPERtheticals-50-Questions-Insane-Conversations/dp/0307587924) out of a vending machine in the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. They are pretty interesting. I'm a sucker for Chuck Klosterman, though, so your mileage may vary.
Yeah, he's definitely one of my favorite authors. You should check out his card 'game' HYPERtheticals.
If you are with a group this is fun as hell
It's Chuck Klosterman IV. It's excellent, but then, I love CK and own everything he's written. I heartily recommend his books!
Also, if you like weird questions like this, try Hypertheticals
Hi Chuck, I regularly take your "Hyperthetical" question set to group settings (weekends away, tour group vacations, or even hanging out with friends I already know) and it's an incredible way to get to know someone's worldviews and mindsets. They initiate thought-provoking Rorschach tests of conversations, especially if there's booze present or the answerer doesn't realize the larger, more personal implications of whatever they're saying.
Do you use your own hypothetical and philosophical questions to analyze people, like a rhetorical Greek play where you have a specific outcome and plan of action in mind? Have you ever made snap judgments based on your hypertheticals and been wrong, or dead-on accurate? Have they ever caused trouble in your relationships or friendships?
Do you have more probing hypotheticals you haven't shared with audiences, or are those retired in favor of Ethicist columns?
