    I have a deep concern that our continued inability to seriously confront this climate change issue will result in massive and irreversible damage and ultimately destruction of our beautiful home,Planet Earth.

    Sure Bill Murray is awesome but what about poor Ned Ryerson had he no agency?

    Because hotels and sensible humans all over the world only load it forward.

    Just a tongue-in-cheek way of getting to a productive discussion and maybe shaking some skeletons out of the cupboards and wardrobes.

    Should the government spend more money on benefiting the poor or on promoting social development?
    4+

    My country has been developing fast these years, but there remains a big gap between rich and poor. I think this gap is one of the reasons of social unrest, which is closely related to everyone.

    Who gets to decide?

    Like, when there is more than one opinion at play… and our beliefs are based on what we feel to be intuitive truths, how the hell do we make a decision? Is it just power?

    What do you strive for in life: happiness, honor, meaning, depth, engagement, hope?
    20+

    Inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s The Mother of All Questions in Harper’s, and my own wondering if ‘happiness’ is really the best word to describe what we all are/should be looking for.

    why are we attracted to inappropriate people?

    Despite our better judgement we all seem to be attracted to someone who is so clearly not right for us at some point in our lives.

    Why can’t we stay childlike for longer?
    3+

    I’ve found it hard to remember how to play after having my kids, and wonder why I ‘grew out’ of it. I’ve loved relearning it but it’s been hard. I think we’d probably be nicer to each other if we kept more of our sense of wonder and joy and curiosity.

    How far are we from a borderless, visa-less world?
    8+

    I’m a traveller, and as an Indian, I find travelling beyond India quite challenging due to Visa restrictions. This is a symptom of a larger problem. Till the time there are boundaries, there are going to be conflicts. The direction of history has been towards unification, we have far less independent political sovereignities today in the world than ever in history, but world unification still seems elusive. Is it going to happen anytime soon?
