    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 will our houses look like in 50 years?
    15+

    Will we continue the trend of McMansions or develop the increasing interest in tiny houses? Will we stay in small family units or revert to multi-generational households as Baby Boomers age and younger generations stay at home longer? In what ways will sustainability and energy-efficiency play a part?

    How can the UN Security Council ultimately be disbanded (a Q of the key members giving up their veto power) for a change in 2015+?
    1+

    It would greatly change the world dynamics. When the UN SC was created, international politics were in a very different stage. Brazil & India are now larger powers for example, with a large population and stake in the current international stage.

    How do we start the argument for the separation of state and economics?
    4+

    The state’s involvement in economics, our system of interventionism, breed further and further control over individual lives, liberty and freedom. It matters to me as I’m a producer constantly paying higher and higher taxes, and losing more and more of my freedoms. It should matter to anyone who values freedom and liberty.

    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.

    Why can’t I give you an answer instead of asking a question?
    5+

    The premise of asking a question to win presumes questions are more important that answers!

    How would our lives change if we talked about death as much as we talk about birth?
    13+

    Because I believe that talking about death can be life-changing and life-affirming.

    How can democracies remain democratic but become (a) less adversarial (b) more efficient?
    1+

    Democracies have little value unless the populace participates. I (probably like many others) am put off from active participation and my cynicism is fed, by the cumbersome nature of government and the lack of cooperation between parties. Does a ‘party system’ have to translate into the circus that we witness in our parliaments?

    How is it possible to be incredibly happy and incredibly sad at the same time?
    11+

    How is it that humans can experience such strong, conflicting, emotions at once? Does everyone experience this? Is it possible to pay attention to just one?
