Is democracy in danger of becoming irrelevant?
    3+

    People are increasingly concerned that it does not matter who you vote for, it often does not change anything. There is a crisis of satisfactory leadership throughout the world, where vested interests control things behind the scenes rather than governments, eg. Wolfgang Scheuble: ‘Elections change nothing.’

    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?

    If vaccination is safe, why has the “Vaccine Court” in USA paid out billions in compensation?ne
    3+

    This is the elephant in the room whenever the question of vaccine safety is discussed on public media.
    I that people who are coerced into vaccination by public campaigns have the right to know accurate information about the safety and effectiveness of vaccination.
