Here is link to Part I for more initiations.

1. If green was the color that was associated with femininity instead of pink, would you treat it the same way as pink?
2. If you were Jonathan Kent, the man who adopted Superman, would you also adopt an abandoned alien baby? If yes, how would you bring him up?
3. Will dominant species of all planets have a similar societal structure like ours? Divided by nations, governments, language etc.
4. How many people would believe you if you told them you see dead people? (Reference: Sixth Sense)
5. If you could choose the brains of 100 people to run the governance of the entire world forever, what traits and criteria would you look for? (Reference: Psycho Pass)
6. What makes you not text first — insecurity or ego? Would you apply the same reason to other people not texting you first?
7. How did the Pokemon come up with a communication system that was simple enough to be understood by all Pokemon despite each being able to only pronounce its own name?
8. Related: In the Pokemon world, there is no concept of scientific names because a Pokemon names itself. In evolutionary terms, why would a Pokemon choose a particular name for itself?
9. If you did get superpowers, would you choose to be a superhero or a supervillain? If the former, would you put yourself above the law or as act as an upholder of the existing laws? (Reference: The Boys)
10. If we devised a way to travel at the speed of light, where outside earth would you want to go first and why?
