OK, so this is mostly a hypothetical question. It turns out that everyone was wrong and the real millenium bug is going to hit this New Year’s coming up on January 1, 2001. So it’s the end of the world as we know it, turns out we’ve got this sci-fi survival space pod type thing. Its got enough room for, like, eight people. By some crazy mix up you are one of the eight that gets to go and you get to pick your seven companions. You want to try to make sure there is a balance and that the people you pick will be able to contribute to restarting the human race. You can’t pick anyone from the SD unless they are your SO or something like that.
I’m not sure who I’d take yet, I need to think about it. Something like this cannot be taken lightly and this thought just came to me and I don’t want to rush to a conclusion, after all, humanity is starting over and I (and whoever responds) has to decide who will be the ones starting it over!!! I’ll come back when I feel I’ve considered all of the possibilities. While I come up with my choices, feel free to discuss this subject among yourselves.
