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.

    How can liberals and conservatives find common ground towards genuine progress?
    10+

    I’m a recovering Catholic and apathetic atheist, classic Greens voter from a very conservative family. I’d like to know the answer so that we can all stop fighting.

    Where are all the caterpillars? I used to see a lot when I was much younger.

    I used to see a lot when I was a child and even though I’m in the garden a lot, they are not.

    what does it mean to be ‘wild’ in an urban world?
    7+

    Modern existence is tethered to urban environments, but many aspects of human nature don’t fall in neat urban planned lines; whilst activities and initiatives exist to give life to the city, what would true urban freedom, the capacity to grow uncontrolled or unrestrained mean for health and happiness?

    Will occupants of driverless cars be far less safe if sharing the road with human drivers?
    1+

    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.

    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.

    What is wrong with the brains of conservatives?

    Conservatives react badly to facts that prove them wrong, and humanity is held back because of this.

    Why women quit careers and head home ?

    The work life balance eternal pursuit is more and more relevant as we have more educated experienced women who choose family life over career ambition in spite of supportive partners ..

    Why do we have 5 mins of sport at the end of news instead of 5 mins of arts/culture? How would this change our perception of the world?
    27+

    Not everyone is into sport. For some, their equivalent is the arts/culture or even the environment. Why are these things considered ‘features’ rather than staples of our news diet? I wonder how society would change if one or two newsrooms started this trend?

    Why do we tend to focus on deficits when assessing individual and community needs?
    3+

    This matters to me because our community, and individuals within it, tend to be labelled and stereo-typed based on aggregate statistics. I believe this matters as we can’t talk about empowering and engaging while disempowering and perpetuating stereo-types.
