it says here that you read a lot...

if you were to invite, say, i don't know, five? people—from any time in history, for a dinner—who would it be?

i'd just invite hitler five times because five hitlers trying to talk over each other would be really funny i think

Socrates, John Green, Hitler, Ghandi, Jesus and Buddha

sorry user, this job requires associates that take ownership of their use of numbers-we enable five choices, and i feel that is sufficient-we ask that you repect that

sir, it's embarrassing that i even have to explain this, but "jesus and buddha" is obviously a single person

Remove Hitler, he was a horrible human being, the others will do

oh, i see, yes, well, very interesting, hmm

Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare, a translator.

do they all magically speak the same language and i can understand them? if so:

>spinoza
>stirner
>nietzsche
>wittgenstein
>heidegger

My boys Homer, Socrates, Aristotle, Herodotus and Aristophanes.

Start with some Homer reciting some poetry while we wait for the servants to relax everyone. Get some intellectual debate going through dinner. Once dinner ends we get some farfetched tales from Herodotus while we drink more wine. Once we've had enough wine, Aristophanes will tell dirty jokes and mock politicians.

>we wait for the servants to relax everyone
What does this mean?

I added that at the last minute so I fucked up:
>Start with some Homer reciting some poetry to relax everyone while we wait for the servants to prepare dinner

i've been in this role for three years now, wow!, we are just so busy here at global corp. i think what that candidate meant to say was that the guest's poetry would be relaxing while they waited for the servants to bring the appetizers. at leat, and feel free to correct me, that's how i INTERPRETED him. we always assume good faith here, something to consider when weighing your options—we try to nurture a healthy environment that can contribute a positive culture to the important work that we do

Do you guys want arguments at the dinner table?

Are you sure he didn't mean for the servants to pass around the boipucci?

Knowing the Greeks,
I think you would know

user user. listen, we have a very welcoming culture here at globo (heh heh, that's what we call it here!), there are different support groups for every type of gender and sexuality. what we cannot condone though, is having sex with minors while on the job, and for the sake of this interview, you need to consider yourself our representative while at this dinner

hegel five times. i'd make the fucker discuss with himself

Marcus Aurelius
Elizabeth Bathory
Nikola Tesla
Carl Jung
Winona Ryder

This to be honest

Shakespeare, Adam, Eve, Enoch (Yes, that one), and ohhhh, hmmm,.... Erik the Red. No dinner would be long enough for me to hear it all, I'm afraid. I'd want to hear it all!

>Adam, Eve
Before or after they got clothes?

I'd go for Nietzsche Goethe Mann Mozart and Einstein, would be a good partey and I can ditch the translator

>all five Hegels give different mutually exclusive interpretations
>They all tell you to work out the synthesis yourself

>Jesus

But my dude Jesus is already inviting you to the feast

I'd like to see the conversation between Nero Claudius and Sigmund Freud, also with Htler.
And then perhaps Plato and Shakespeare.

After. Just to hope they remember the taste of the fruit.

>Hegel
>Heraclitus
>Aleister Crowley
>Plato
>my cat
The only logical combination

Does anyone else absolutely hate questions like this?
I always have zero will to think of an answer and I literally can't answer them. Ever. Is it autism?

If an interviewer asks you this type of question it's to test your ability to find creative solutions to problems while under pressure.

What you say rarely even matters that much, provided you can give good reasoning. Like analyzing a poem or novel in a highschool English class. Critical / creative thinking

I realize that is what they think they are testing but I disagree with that conclusion and also I'm utterly unmotivated to find a solution to flippant problems. I think it's actually immoral to ask me a question like that.

Shakespeare, Chaucer, Thomas Pynchon, Lenin, and the prophet Elijah

Your five step-dads OP.

What do you think is immoral about the question?

Greek, Anguish, German, Hindu, Aramaic & Pali?

Oy vey why didn't you invite, idk, Adam? Abraham? NOAM CHOMSKY? Or like Napoleon or whatever

Jesus, Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, Jung, Jordan Peterson

Bloom, Joyce, Pynchon, Roth & Donny DeLillio
