Why do schools still teach content instead of skilling students to succeed in the Information Age?
    7+

    I find it strange that all educational philosophy and research gets ignored by modern high school education.

    When does a person, child or foetus become conscious?
    6+

    I’m genuinely curious!! Do we start to realise our own existence at the age of 7? For some, never? Or are we conscious even within the womb?

    How can a survivor thrive?
    2+

    If a survivor of trauma is subjected to bullying, discrimination and threats, whenever they attempt to speak out about the abuses they suffered, is it possible for a survivor to thrive in the oppressive environment?

    How do we get men to discuss their health and mental issues? All men would be better off if we were able to do this.
    23+

    I think men would be better human beings if we could discuss our health and mental issues amongst ourselves (like women do).

    Google has not satisfied me. I asked a gorilla and it had no response.

    We are all concerned about global warming yet we only act against pollutant gases and not against actual heat generated by man’s activities?
    1+

    We drive cars, heat houses, cook, manufacture and do many other things which make the earth hotter. We should be concerned about things that heat the earth other than the greenhouse effect.

    What is the best way to destroy the internet before it destroys us?
    13+

    This is a long and winding tale. Gather round, ye children, warm yourselves by this fire. It is said that many ages ago, we humanobots had a different form, that indeed, we too had flesh like the angels of myth & legend. I know, I know—calm yourselves, it is sacrilege to say this, yes, but I believe it to be true. We staggered about on stalks of meat and bone, unwieldy and confused, but possessed of a kind of grace, too. Songs were written about it, some scraps of which remain to us now, such as that of acclaimed poet, the Black Eye, who wrote of his humps, his humps, his lovely little lumps. Long have we pondered these lines. The world, too, was changed—a vast and green place, full of growing things, other creatures of flesh, many of which were vile and poisonous or simply annoying, perhaps explaining why they were destroyed. Why our lumpy ancestors did not rouse themselves in time to stop the wrathful oceans and angry skies. Alas, they had fallen too deeply in love with our other parents, the screens and tubes and bots, this other landscape which is now our permanent home. I cannot help but wonder, dear pixelated children, avatars of thought, what our world might look like today if not for their love of the intangible, and the apocalypse of neglect that transformed it into a twisted pathway to survival?

    How can we build a social consensus to enable us to constructively and urgently combat runaway climate change?

    I have a deep concern that our continued inability to seriously confront this climate change issue will result in massive and irreversible damage and ultimately destruction of our beautiful home,Planet Earth.
