    why are we attracted to inappropriate people?
    6+

    Despite our better judgement we all seem to be attracted to someone who is so clearly not right for us at some point in our lives.

    How often should you have sex a week?
    14+

    Everyone has an opinion on this, and many other sex-related topics. I’d like to know the answer.

    Why are immeasurable, unautomated, irreplacable things (arts, education) valued so little financially?
    15+

    Because I have a vested interest in both, and I’ve yet to receive a good answer.

    If a piece of meat is grown in a lab (and was never part of an animal) is it actually still ‘meat’?
    13+

    As a constantly-lapsing vegetarian, I am interested in both the science and philosophy of meat. I know many others are too.

    What is feminism? And if it is what you say it is, why on earth is it so divisive?
    14+

    There is nothing more vile or polarising than an online conversation thread about feminism.

    When I was a teenager I read something wonderful and it stayed with me, the author’s name however did not. The internet attributes this vacant place in my brain to Rebecca West.

    “I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.”

    Does free will really exist?
    2+

    I’m asking because it is a question, after standstill discussions with peers — some for; some against — I cannot clarify to myself what I believe. To have this question answered would not only put my mind at ease, but influence how I see the world and go about my life.

    Is it possible for us to be more self-sufficient and return to a simpler way of life – or is it too late?
    3+

    Like many others, my husband and I are increasingly convinced that living like this is the best thing we can do for the planet. However, I recently read an article that spoke of the many who believe the opposite. They argue that developing increasingly sophisticated technologies, such as higher levels of artificial intelligence, is the best solution to most, if not all, of our problems – and they have the money and power to make these technologies reality. The article also posited the question, ‘Would I want a future foisted upon me by [Silicon Valley venture capitalist Marc] Andreessen and his fellow founders?’ This prospect frightens me – as it would many others. Can we resist this vision of the future?

    Who am I?
    3+

    Because this question haunts me everyday. It matter to me because I’d like to know who I am.
    Because if others know who they are, they might do things differently which benefit them and others.

    If the NDIS funds 450k people with a disability, and the ABS lists 750k with severe or profound disability, who’s funding the remaining 300,000 people?
    5+

    The NDIS is one enormous quango (QUasi-Autonomous National Government Organisation). My gut feeling is that three or four fold the amount of money given to people with a disability through their NDIS funding package has gone on the salaries and infrastructure of those setting up the system and those administering it. In my opinion, just one of the many downfalls of the system introduced.

    How would the world be different if men got pregnant?
    22+

    In many professions gender inequality is evident by the lack of female leadership at top levels. This is in part attributed to the divergence during mid career progression when women are likely to begin having families. Would the gender inequality debate be flipped on it’s head if men were the ones who got pregnant?

    How can we restructure the economy so that a living wage is no longer labour-based?
    12+

    What with robots, computers, and all the other “help” we’re creating, not to mention jobs going offshore and/or “cheap labor” coming in from offshore, not to mention whole industries (manufacturing, mining) imploding, it looks as if it won’t be long before a goodly portion of the jobs will have disappeared. When three-quarters of working people can’t find a job in countries like Australia, surely we can’t rely on the old solutions of throwing them (us) a little dole money and calling them (us) bludgers (or leaners, if we’re being polite). Is it even possible to restructure the economy so that people can live well without working (or inherited wealth)? What would that look like? How would we get there?

    Is there a country in the world that considers its women more highly than its men, and if not, why not?
    27+

    It matters to me because I am 70 years old and have spent my entire life struggling to make Australia and the world a better place for women. We have made some gains but it still seems a long way to go.
