PEOPLE:

Q. What are people?

A. I love people and I’m an optimist but I also think we’re just weird mutant mammals whose brains have evolved too quickly.

Q. What are people for?

A. Selfishly as a species, to make each other happy. Unselfishly, to improve the wellbeing of other species, even if that’s simply giving love to our domestic pets.

Q. Would the world be better off without people?

A. Yes but we have to fix the damage we’ve done to the rest of our planet’s inhabitants first, as best we can. Then step back and let them thrive. We may have to allow ourselves to die out naturally first.

Q. If so...
Should we get rid of all the people on the earth so that life on earth could survive?

A. We should probably allow nature to get rid of us gently.

Answers offered by Glenn Skelhorn

Is it better to ask questions or answer questions?

Overall I think it is better to ask questions rather than answer them. This is because questions imply possibilities whereas answers tend to shut down possibilities other than the answer given. I am conscious I am answering a question here. Am I shutting down possibilities? 
One thing I don’t like about asking questions is the power relation — what gives you the authority to choose and ask the questions? I’m progressing here — grassroots, democratic question generation and question answering are where it ought to be at? In my line of work, I tend to choose and ask the questions — too often, no doubt. It's worse in my case. People can choose to not engage with your questions, whereas I usually have a captive audience.
