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?

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?

The “taken partner” effect

Do you think that people who are in a relationship are perceived as more attractive than singles?

The “taken partner” effect is a phenomenon that some may find fascinating and others morally questionable. Psychologists claim that the human brain reacts to the signal “someone has already chosen this person” as confirmation of their value – like a recommendation in the world of emotions. Critics see it as proof of our competitive nature, which makes us desire someone else’s property. An evolutionary theory? Or perhaps just plain jealousy dressed in scientific words? Is it instinct that tells us to pursue what is already taken?

Polygamy

Have you ever been in love with two people at the same time?

Polygamy has divided public opinion for centuries. Some believe that the natural human tendency to love more than one person is a remnant of evolution and ancient social models. Others see it as a threat to fidelity and family stability. Supporters of polygamy cite biological and cultural arguments, while opponents point to moral and legal ones. Can great love really have more than one name, or is it just an excuse?

Revelations, dreams, and prophecies

Do you believe that revelations, prophecies, dreams, or strong premonitions can be a genuine warning or a sign of future events?

Revelations, prophecies, and strong premonitions have fascinated and divided people for centuries. For some, they are a direct message from God or supernatural forces; for others – the result of an extraordinary sensitivity of the mind. History contains accounts of dreams that supposedly saved lives and of animals that behaved unnaturally before earthquakes or tsunamis, as if sensing the coming danger. Supporters of such phenomena see them as proof of the existence of a dimension that science still cannot explore. Skeptics consider them coincidence, autosuggestion, or overinterpretation. Are premonitions genuine warnings, or just a game of our imagination?
