Why are people asked on television ‘what are you going to spend the money on’?
    3+

    Is the question ever answered well? Is the question ever answered honestly? Is it anyone’s damn business? My boss doesn’t ask me when he gives me my paycheck.

    2+

    Dogs have been
    important members of human communities for centuries. Some communities eat them and others are repulsed by this. I wonder how they are differ from other domestic animals.

    Should ’cause no harm’ become international law?
    6+

    Whether it’s gun control or bicycle helmets, Australia’s Common Law leads to a duty of care. What would the world look like if this was adopted internationally?

    Why does anything exist, rather than nothing at all?
    10+

    Although I was raised as a strict Irish-style Roman Catholic, after many years of deep thought, I am now an atheist, humanist, rationalist and sceptic, and have come to the conclusion that this is the most important unanswered philosophical question. I do not believe there is any need to postulate a creator, because belief in a creator god leads to the obvious next questions of who or what made god, and who or what made who or what made god, and so on indefinitely.

    Why do we find it so difficult to keep opposing ideas alive in the same mind?
    0

    To quote the late great Christopher Hitchens in introducing his autobiography, Hitch-22, “The most intense wars are civil wars, just as the most vivid and rending personal conflicts are internal ones, and what I hope to do now is give some idea of what it is like to fight on two fronts at once, to try and keep opposing ideas alive in the same mind, even occasionally to show two faces at the same time.” From the personal to the political, and the intersection of the two, why do we find it so difficult to keep opposing ideas alive in the same mind?

    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?
