What is the minimum threshold for people to have to wear a helmet?
    7+

    Is it pace of movement? Does it depend on the way others around you move? Should sprinters be required to wear a helmet if speed and congestion are criteria?

    What is better, freedom or equality?
    10+

    I am asking this because so many people use freedom without using equality, and we have lost effective ways of raising the tensions between them. But this tension is the essence of politics.

    When will the psychiatric regime end?
    5+

    When humanity becomes humane, starts listening to people, rather than propaganda, regimes that torture and control will be exposed and stopped. The psychiatric regime has been going on for over 200 in various countries, enabling genital mutilation on women who opposed their husbands, LSD testing in the 1960s, and various torturous procedures.
    The people forcefully tested with insulin shock and LSD, haven’t received compensation, because our government declares the medical profession were allowed to torture people that way in the 1960s & 70s.
    The people who are being currently subjected to torture by the psychiatric regime, are also unlikely to receive compensation, unless there is wide-spread condemnation for the psychiatric procedures forcefully done in our government’s name on innocent people as young as two and as old as people can be. Electroshock used on 4 year olds, pills fed daily to tranquilise two year olds. Not to mention what they do to people in their prime.
    It is physically obvious what psychiatric torture does to people. It must be stopped.
    How dare anyone think our country is a democracy when this is going on. How dare the organisations of festivals censor psychiatric survivors who speak out because of sponsorship deals. How dare the Australian people be so unaware of what is happening to their citizens.
    The question is when? The answer should be now.

    Will occupants of driverless cars be far less safe if sharing the road with human drivers?

    I’ve been thinking about automated vehicles lately and wondering if, in order for visions of their ideal function are to be realised, cities/societies will need to change wholesale – rather than incrementing as people slowly adopt new technologies/models.

    What paradigm will replace the current power-centric economic, political system?
    5+

    Most of today’s global problems originate in the competitive foundation of the current economic, political paradigm. We will never realise humanity’s highest goals unless we learn to start from a different place in thinking about the “system” we live within.

    What is the role of the Grandparent when it comes to raising Grandchildren?
    1+

    So many of today’s Grandparents fulfil the role of the Carer for their Grandchildren. On occasion, the Grandparent’s own methods of responding to / dealing with the behaviours of children may differ from that of the child’s parents. What is the expectation in the event this occurs?
