Will climate warming be beneficial for Russia?

Do you think Russia could benefit from climate change if Siberia and other cold regions of the country become warmer and more hospitable for living and agriculture?

While much of the world sounds the alarm over global warming, some ask the uncomfortable question: could Russia actually benefit? A warming climate might turn frozen Siberia into a potential hotspot for agriculture, industry, and settlement. Vast resources, thawing lands, new Arctic trade routes—for the Kremlin, this may seem less like a disaster and more like a strategic opportunity. Is the world burning while Moscow calculates? Or is this illusion destined to backfire? Judge for yourself—before the climate answers for us all.

The future of artificial intelligence consciousness

Do you think that artificial intelligence will be able to think consciously in the future?

Will machines ever become truly “conscious”? A question that once sounded like science fiction is now part of serious discussions among philosophers, engineers—and even lawyers. Believers in conscious AI point to algorithms increasingly resembling human thought and emotion. Skeptics argue that imitation isn’t awareness—and producing answers doesn’t prove the presence of a “self.” Where is the line between intelligence and consciousness? And will we recognize it before it’s crossed? Answer—before someone (or something) does it for you.

Jewish communities and U.S. politics

Do you believe that Jewish groups have a significant influence on U.S. government policy?

The question of Jewish influence on U.S. politics is one of the most sensitive and controversial in public discourse. Some see powerful lobbying groups, like AIPAC, as proof of strong policy influence—especially in matters related to Israel. Others argue that such views risk sliding into conspiracy thinking and unfair generalizations that echo historical prejudice. Where’s the line between legitimate political advocacy and disproportionate sway? Is this about facts, perceptions, or deeper societal anxieties? Share your view—carefully, or candidly.

European Green Deal

Do you believe that the EU Green Deal can significantly impact the global climate, even though the EU is responsible for only 6.7% of CO₂ emissions?

Green Deal – a lifeline from climate catastrophe for some, a costly utopia with no real impact on global emissions for others. Since the European Union accounts for just 7% of global CO₂, a question arises: do our sacrifices make sense when the biggest polluters – like China and the USA – continue to operate on their own terms? Is the energy transition a moral duty, an investment in the future, or a tool of geopolitical self-harm? Answer before the “green revolution” becomes a reality without public consent.
