Humanization of Animals – Dehumanization of Children

Do you think that modern laws and social narratives lead to the dehumanization of children (e.g., through the legalization of abortion on demand) while increasingly “humanizing” animals and imposing severe penalties for harming them?

It is increasingly common to get the impression that modern law works against common sense. On the one hand, there is growing acceptance of abortion on demand, which for many is equivalent to stripping unborn children of their humanity. On the other hand, the brutal treatment of animals is met with increasingly harsh penalties, and their legal status is approaching that of humans. Some see this as a moral decline, others as civilizational progress and proof that empathy is no longer selective. But where is the line beyond which protecting the life of an animal becomes more important than the life of a human?

Manifestation or manipulation?

Do you believe that repeatedly promoting a certain narrative or the belief of many people in a given statement can actually lead to its realization or recognition as truth?

In the era of social media, which can create a hero or a public enemy within hours, the question of whether a repeated narrative can become a self-fulfilling prophecy takes on special significance. History knows numerous cases when propaganda and collective belief changed the course of events. Meanwhile, the popular modern concept of the “power of manifestation” takes us all the way to quantum physics and the so-called “observer effect.” The line between fact and social construct blurs when millions repeat the same slogan. Is this still science, the influence of crowd psychology, or already mind programming?

Ban on Combustion Cars vs. Development of Gas Stations

How do you assess the ban on the sale of new combustion engine cars in the European Union from 2035, considering that gas station networks are still expanding rapidly?

The planned ban on the sale of new combustion engine cars in the EU from 2035 is sparking heated debates – supporters call it a historic step toward climate neutrality, while opponents see it as a technocratic experiment detached from reality. Meanwhile, gas station networks, instead of winding down operations, are investing in expansion, which for many is a sign that oil and gasoline will not disappear overnight. Critics point to the still sluggish pace of charging infrastructure development, as well as problems with battery recycling and lifespan. Conspiracy theories claim the ban is a tool to control mobility, with the elite having their own loopholes. Will 2035 mark a green revolution or just another political illusion?

Apocalyptic scenario

In your opinion, which of the following scenarios is the most likely to occur in the next 25 years?

For years, theories have circulated that the world as we know it could change in the blink of an eye – the only question is, what will be the spark? Some claim that governments have long been hiding contact with aliens and will one day “release” the truth, while others warn that artificial intelligence will gain self-awareness, at which point humans will lose control over their own creation. There are also voices claiming that particle colliders or quantum computers are experimenting at the edge of known physics, risking the opening of a portal to another dimension or the creation of a black hole. Or perhaps this is all just internet-fed fantasy? And if not – are we ready for everything to happen at once?

Genocide in the Gaza Strip?

Do you believe that Israel’s actions against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip can be defined as genocide?

The issue of genocide in the Gaza Strip divides public opinion more than most modern conflicts. Some see Israel’s actions as the systematic extermination of civilians, pointing to casualty statistics and the destruction of infrastructure as evidence that the UN definition of genocide is being met. Others stress that Hamas uses civilians as human shields, and that Israeli strikes are aimed solely at eliminating threats. Where is the line between self-defense and a war crime? The debate is further fueled by theories about global interests and the influence of political lobbies that allegedly block an objective assessment of the situation. Can there be any moral victor in this conflict?

Mandatory work for prisoners

Do you think prisoners should be required to work while serving their sentence?

Is prisoner labor a path to rehabilitation or a legal form of cheap slavery? Supporters speak of rehabilitation and repaying the costs of imprisonment. Critics remind us that forced labor in confinement can be a form of repression rather than repair. Many point out that the state is eager to use free labor, hiding it under the slogan of “re-education.” Is mandatory work behind bars a fair solution or a return to camp-like methods?
