[@LGF]: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second part of Swono's interview. Before we start, I'd like to thank @CurlyHaris for letting me add a couple of questions to his already great interview. Without further to do, I'd like to ask my first question. Ono, what do you think is the meaning of life?
[@Swono]: Hey everyone! Well, as a developer I'm tempted to answer "42" but I'll respect your question and actually say that it inherently means nothing, in particular, it's us interpreters of reality who define its meaning!
[@LGF]: If it’s us who interpret its meaning, what meaning do you attribute to life?
[@Swono]: I think that the meaning of life is to treat one another in the most respecting and supporting manner so that humanity progresses as a species without neglecting its environment and peers
[@LGF]: On the topic of social links, I've read somewhere that you particularly enjoy mentoring contributors. In his interview with @FatherArls, @NoNameBoy, one of your mentees, spoke about meeting you for the first time. How do you manage to transform an online mentor-mentee relationship into an actual friendship?
[@Swono]: I'm a "go with the flow" type of guy, I let things happen naturally. When I found out we shared several musical points of interest and played similar video games we went on to spend a lot of time together on Discord. As we eventually live in the same region of France, we decided to meet and eat lunch in Paris; we went on to meet again twice to play football since then! It's rare that I build a link so strong with Genius users but the mentoring process helped quickly build a student-teacher relationship that became a big/little brother relationship with time.
[@LGF]: Nowadays, we live in a society that is much stricter due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. How do you feel about France's COVID-related policies?
[@Swono]: We're the clowns of Europe, really; if not of the World. The worst thing is it's mostly because of dumb people who don't respect the government's rules that everyone has to pay for. I hate injustice so of course, I hate this situation but I have to wait for it to come to an end I guess, stoicism!
[@LGF]: You briefly touched upon your hatred for injustice, how much does justice mean to you?
[@Swono]: I don't really care about justice so much, but I hate it when someone suffers for someone else's mistakes or when unfortunate events lead someone to be in difficulty when they don't deserve it. I like to help people sort those situations and I have experienced some on various Discord servers so I'm guessing it feels even better that it's official now that I sport the purple diamond
[@LGF]: You previously mentioned being a developer. How do you express your creativity outside of developing software?
[@Swono]: Well I actually happen to be someone that likes to play with every subject I deem interesting; in the end, I investigated everything that my route led me to find. Drawing, writing, making music, manual skills and agility, level design and level creation in video games, exercising and learning the deepest useless fun facts about ridiculously precise subjects like quantum tunnelling; all that stimulate the knowledge maniac in me and I believe it has a big repercussion on my 'tates actually hahah. TL;DR: every way possible
[@LGF]: Is there anything else you want to tell us before we conclude this interview?
[@Swono]: Just remember we were all Contributors in the beginning! I consider every user to be on the same level as me, and I think it's no coincidence if the yellow square and the purple diamond are in fine the same shape. We're all brothers and sisters around here, so let the family spirit guide us towards being a sublime collection of exemplary geniuses!
[@LGF]: Well this was the second part of the Ono Interview, thanks for reading (if you made it this far). Once again, big thanks to @CurlyHaris for letting me add this part and thanks to my man Ono for answering the question. Have a nice day!
[@Swono]: Thank you so much for having me, have a nice one too!
