    Is there a country in the world that considers its women more highly than its men, and if not, why not?
    27+

    It matters to me because I am 70 years old and have spent my entire life struggling to make Australia and the world a better place for women. We have made some gains but it still seems a long way to go.

    Yay for discovering water on Mars and flying past Pluto and all that, but should we be looking at WTF is happening on our own planet a bit more?

    Regional areas in particular are being devastated and families are being torn apart. What is the heart of the issue? Boredom? A lack of other outlets in regional areas?

    Has loneliness in the 21st century Western World reached epidemic levels?
    57+

    Loneliness is something that I have been grappling with lately, and I have noticed an up-tick in think-pieces about technologies effect on social relationships between people and a loss of community. The connections people have with others has been a perennial interest of humankind.

    Should one use accepted scientific facts or your intuition to form an opinion about a person or issue?
    5+

    Many people form opinions not based on the facts. Women are often told to trust their intuition to empower themselves. Opinions not based on the facts lead to actions. These actions can harm.

    why do we constantly seek to improve ourselves despite acknowledging our mortality?
    9+

    I ask this question because I genuinely ponder over it daily. We are on this constant hunt for self reflection and improvement but really whats the point? We are only around for 80 years or so, why does it matter if we are the best we can be? Why don’t we spend our time attempting to improve the lives of others instead?

    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).

    What would inspire you to be more altruistic in the way that you spend your money?
    16+

    I believe that we are moving toward a world where altruism is not just a nicety, but a necessity. I’m interested to know what it is that makes people want to help. Is it a case of not knowing that you’re helping? Or is it a more conscious act?

    I have asked myself this same question for much of my life. But I am not sure that the answer would be helpful or not?
