Inheritance of Trauma and Memories

Do you think trauma or other experiences can be passed down through DNA from generation to generation?

Can we really carry fears that were never ours?
The inheritance of trauma through DNA is a topic that teeters between science and something much deeper. Epigenetics opens the door to hypotheses suggesting that our ancestors’ experiences can literally “reprogram” our genes. But where does biology end and upbringing begin? Are we born already carrying someone else’s emotional baggage, or is this just a narrative shaped by our family environment? And if ancestral memories really are encoded in us – the question is, why? See what others think – and decide for yourself who your fears truly belong to.

Psychiatric Evaluation and IQ Requirements for High-Ranking Public Officials

Should high-ranking public officials be required to undergo mandatory psychiatric evaluations and meet a minimum IQ threshold?

Should everyone who climbs the ladder of power truly be allowed to govern? Amid increasingly frequent scandals, irrational decisions, and embarrassing statements by politicians, a new proposal is gaining traction: mandatory psychiatric evaluations and a minimum IQ requirement for high-ranking officials. Supporters see it as a basic safeguard against madness and incompetence. Opponents warn of eugenics and power being seized by the so-called “superior.” Where does concern for governance quality end and dangerous selection begin? See what others think – vote in the survey.

Infidelity in a Relationship

Have you ever committed physical or emotional infidelity while in a committed relationship?

Infidelity—for some, it’s the ultimate betrayal; for others, a human mistake. But what truly counts as cheating? The line between innocent flirting and emotional drift is often blurry, and “non-physical” affairs can hurt more than sex itself. Society is divided between those who demand absolute loyalty and those who accept that feelings are unpredictable. Is betrayal always a conscious choice—or sometimes an escape? Or perhaps we each carry our own definition? Answer honestly, even if only to yourself.

Mandatory vaccination

In your opinion, vaccinations should be:

Vaccinations have sparked emotions for years. Supporters emphasize that herd immunity also protects those who cannot be vaccinated. Opponents point to the risk of adverse effects, the lack of full transparency in research, and concerns that mandates serve the interests of pharmaceutical corporations. In many Western countries, vaccinations are recommended, while in some Eastern European states children must receive a dozen or more mandatory doses. Is this a difference in public health policy, or a sign that the eastern part of the continent is a testing ground?

Access to Tobacco, Alcohol, and Gambling from Age 21

Do you think that access to tobacco, alcohol, and gambling should be allowed only after turning 21?

Is an 18-year-old still a kid—or already an adult? The debate on raising the legal age for alcohol, tobacco, and gambling to 21 reveals two conflicting views on responsibility. One is based on neuroscience, showing the brain may still be too immature for risky choices. The other is rooted in equal rights: if you’re old enough to vote or join the military, why not buy a beer? This isn’t just about substances—it’s about how we define adulthood today. Where do you draw the line?

Sexual History of a Partner

What kind of person would you prefer as a life partner, considering their sexual experience?

In an age of sexual freedom, a partner’s intimate past still sparks strong emotions—often more than we admit. For some, virginity symbolizes purity and loyalty; for others, it suggests a lack of experience that may hinder a relationship. Meanwhile, those with more sexual history may be admired for their openness—or dismissed as “used up.” Asking about past partners isn’t just curiosity; it’s a hidden test of values, control, and expectations. Should sexual history matter at all? And if it does—how much?
