Why does Nutella taste so heavenly?

    Why does Nutella taste so good? Why is Australia going so crazy for it, to the extent that we have it in donuts, milkshakes, brunch items… etc?

    How can we foster a culture of respectful, critical, fruitful conversation on important social issues where we feel strongly and disagree?
    30+

    Public discourse on politically contested matters—like climate change, refugees, distribution of resources, etc.—seems to be at a low ebb. We need to find ways to address these issues constructively if we are to have any hope of meeting the challenges of the coming years. But how can we be a part of the solution and not just a part of the problem?

    If the NDIS funds 450k people with a disability, and the ABS lists 750k with severe or profound disability, who’s funding the remaining 300,000 people?
    5+

    The NDIS is one enormous quango (QUasi-Autonomous National Government Organisation). My gut feeling is that three or four fold the amount of money given to people with a disability through their NDIS funding package has gone on the salaries and infrastructure of those setting up the system and those administering it. In my opinion, just one of the many downfalls of the system introduced.

    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?

    Why don’t we have game centres for adults?
    3+

    Sometimes adults get a little too serious and forget to have fun! I would like to see what happens to our work culture and society if game play is more available & mainstream for adults. It would be a great experiment to test the importance of play and creativity and how it correlates to innovation and new ideas for the Australian economy.

    It is such a hard and risky job. Only love can’t justify accepting going through this hardship.

    I was once asked and gave a quick and definite answer. I have, however, wondered about my answer ever since.

    Why do we humans so often ignore the “elephants in the room”?

    Similar to avoiding the important by tackling the urgent. Both citizens and pollies do it, more than is good for us, don’t we?

    Is the world largely dictated by binary thinkers and charismatic devils and if so, what can be done about it?

    People keep repeating the same mistakes despite a fairly good recording of historical events and I wonder if this is an aspect of our biology we seem unable to address.
