    Find out if the food admin & the drug admin have correlated their ‘facts’ on PG. What ‘safe’ means, when talking about this petroleum-based substance: PG is a preservative in nearly all over food, drinks, self-care products, medicines…

    Appeals to compassion have had little impact on attitudes to inequality, both internationally and domestically. Is it time to use fear as a catalyst for change?
    4+

    In the mid 1970’s I heard a bureaucrat [Bob Lansdowne] argue that social change came from shifts in compassion or compulsion-he was discussing our relationship with Indonesia and argued that compassion was in short supply. He was suggesting that huge disparities in income and wealth in an increasingly open and global environment were a recipe for instability and conflict–and that we should be afraid of the consequences of failing to address it. His concern is even more relevant today.

    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?

    Is one’s fate set in stone? Does superstition or faith or the power of positive thinking have any effect on an outcome?

    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?

    If God is supposedly infinite, how has it ever been possible to turn your back on Him?

    While I think it goes to the heart of Judaeo-Christian belief and may therefore be relevant to anyone in our society, I mainly think it might annoy Rob Delaney.

    Are we on the cusp of a golden age for humanity? Or are we teetering on a precipice of doom?
    4+

    This is a question I think everyone should be asking. Your answer to it determines the way you behave in every day life. Optimism breeds a belief that it’s worth getting out there to act on making the world a better place. Pessimism makes us apathetic, and causes us to retreat into dark corners

    0

    Because the EU is in turmoil, countries are being held to ransom by market volatility and austerity is fueling social unrest.

    If light actually slows down, even a tiny bit over millions of years, does that mean the universe isn’t expanding, it just looks like it is?

    It’s a question I came up with that I’d love an expert to explain. I like to question the assumptions that other assumptions are based on but over time are seen as fact.
