If the nation went to family therapy, who’d say what and why?

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

    Why does anything exist, rather than nothing at all?
    10+

    Although I was raised as a strict Irish-style Roman Catholic, after many years of deep thought, I am now an atheist, humanist, rationalist and sceptic, and have come to the conclusion that this is the most important unanswered philosophical question. I do not believe there is any need to postulate a creator, because belief in a creator god leads to the obvious next questions of who or what made god, and who or what made who or what made god, and so on indefinitely.

    Should I give a tip in Australia for service that is just OK?
    3+

    It seems as though tips are expected now – even when the service is bad and restaurant wages are liveable.

    How can we all keep the desire to learn?
    9+

    Life long learning challenges premises and stimulates awareness of difference, whilst negating ignorance.

    Why do we talk so much about moving forward when all we do is repeat ourselves?
    6+

    My passion for history often leads to frustration that we seem to learn so litle from the past, and the pain of a friend’s recent and unexpected marriage break up has been exacerbated by so many glibly advising her to move forward when she can’t (yet).

    Why do we not value darkness anymore?
    8+

    Light pollution, glare and light trespass are all easy environmental problems to fix. If we can’t (or won’t) fix this, then what chance do we have of reducing or reversing other environmental issues?

    Why must professional swimmers train so early in the morning? The races are not at this time. They have all day to swim.
    11+

    I’ve always wondered. Every swimmer says they hate the early starts. So swim later. YOU HAVE ALL DAY TO SWIM! The races are often at night. Pools are indoors. It makes no sense!!

    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?

    How can liberals and conservatives find common ground towards genuine progress?
    10+

    I’m a recovering Catholic and apathetic atheist, classic Greens voter from a very conservative family. I’d like to know the answer so that we can all stop fighting.
