Why are some people “lyrics” people and others not?
    20+

    The lyrics are the last thing that matter to me when I listen to a piece of music (if I can even understand them it’s a plus). But for others they seem to be the most important thing of all (weirdos). Why is this so? Probably it doesn’t matter – I’m just curious.

    Why have we allowed the most mediocre of Western knowledge and culture to colonise us, instead of the wisdom of indigenous cultures?
    12+

    It seems a no-brainer not to stand on the shoulders of giants, and in my humble opinion there is much we could still learn from indigenous cultures of the world.

    Are we still driven by the same principle/s that enabled the formation of life?
    2+

    By narrowing the gap between scientific understanding and spiritual understanding, we get closer to god.

    Why is it that the likes of George Bush are seemingly untouchable in terms of holding them to account for disastrous self-serving decisions like the iraq war?
    6+

    If someone steals something they are arrested but if someone sends in troupes under dubious pretence killing thousands of civilians, ruining the lives of their own combatants why is it that they just float off to a life of ease? Shouldn’t high office hold high accountability. There must be factors that give them immunity. What are they?

    Does science fiction give us an unrealistic expectation that we can effectively inhabit Mars?
    11+

    The recent discovery of water on Mars has brought into perspective that a manned mission may contaminate the results of any discovery of life. Perchlorates and cosmic radiation are still barriers to a lengthy mission. Is it more important to have realistic expectations of Mars or a vision of solving problems to which we do not yet have answers?

    Why can’t women have crushes, and is ‘eye and ear candy’ ok?
    1+

    Because I feel like society frowns upon women having crushes and tends to smear it with sleaze.

    Because life is beautiful… my part in it is small… what is there to fear?

    Why is Cameron Frye such an underappreciated character? He was the kid I related to most in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
    12+

    This cult film is loved by so many, and yet there are many overlooked ideas in the movie. Did Cameron really make things better with his dad? What’s the deal with Ferris, anyway? He’s so sure of himself, and his parents love him and he can do whatever he wants, and he knows it! Cameron is the real MVP. Recognition is needed.

    How do we start the argument for the separation of state and economics?
    4+

    The state’s involvement in economics, our system of interventionism, breed further and further control over individual lives, liberty and freedom. It matters to me as I’m a producer constantly paying higher and higher taxes, and losing more and more of my freedoms. It should matter to anyone who values freedom and liberty.

    Are we on the cusp of a golden age for humanity? Or are we teetering on a precipice of doom?
    4+

    This is a question I think everyone should be asking. Your answer to it determines the way you behave in every day life. Optimism breeds a belief that it’s worth getting out there to act on making the world a better place. Pessimism makes us apathetic, and causes us to retreat into dark corners
