Pneumonia around 3 weeks.

2. Do you believe in any kind of life after death?

Derp.

3. A supervillain has developed a terrible new weapon and is planning to eradicate all philosophers and intellectuals from history, entirely reshaping our current world. The supervillain has given you the choice of one philosopher/intellectual for him not to eradicate, thus our entire current world, practices, beliefs, and understandings will derive from the ideas and teachings of this one person - who do you choose?

Proudhon

4. What is the worst possible death you can possibly imagine/describe?

idk the imagination is endless

Castration by chimp just to give one

5. Is there a time in history you'd rather have been born in than our modern times? If so, why?

Hunter gatherer times - higher quality of life

6. Do you believe that we humans will successfully colonize space? If so, do you think that our technological capabilities will advance quickly enough that we humans will be able to distance ourselves enough from the Milky Way galaxy that we will avoid extinction when the sun explodes in 5-7 billion years (this assumes we won't be dead before this happens and there's no other ELE)?

We wouldn’t have to be distanced outside the galaxy to avoid the sun expanding in the death of the star. We wouldn’t even have to be outside our solar system to avoid the expansion itself.

But anyway if humanity survives there could be a way to transport our consciousnesses at light speed. If we were able to develop that technology in a million years we could be 5 billion light years from here which is a good chunk of the known universe. So yes.
