Speed limiters in new cars

Do you think manufacturers should be required to install factory-fitted limiters in new cars that prevent exceeding the legal speed limit?

A factory-installed speed limiter in new cars is an idea that divides drivers and experts. Supporters speak of saving thousands of lives, reducing accidents, and disciplining reckless drivers. Opponents see it as another step toward total control over citizens and taking away their right to make their own decisions – even in emergencies. There’s also the financial aspect: would states give up billions in speeding fine revenue? Or is this the beginning of cars that decide where and how you drive?

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?

Is beauty already materialism?

Do you think that focusing on beauty and a shapely figure when choosing a partner can be considered a sign of materialism?

Reflections on whether choosing a partner for their looks is merely physical attraction or already a sign of materialism can stir emotions. In a world where appearance has become currency in the relationship market, the question arises: is “rich beauty” a luxury that buys a better life, or just an illusion? Critics say that the pursuit of the perfect body is the result of the beauty cult on social media, others – that it’s simply the lottery of genes. But if that’s the case, why has nature treated some so harshly? And you – do you choose the heart or the packaging?

Telegony

Do you believe that a woman’s first sexual encounter, during which there was contact with a man’s semen, can cause her later offspring with other partners to show certain similarities to that first man?

Telegony, once popular among breeders and the aristocracy, is now making a comeback in online discussions. It assumes that a woman’s first sexual partner can “imprint” his genetic trace on her future offspring with other men. Official science claims that traits are inherited exclusively from the biological father, but there is the phenomenon of microchimerism – cells from previous partners can remain in a woman’s body. Is this a biological curiosity without significance, or a mechanism that science does not yet want to talk about? Supporters see it as confirmation of ancient knowledge, skeptics – merely a myth. And you, which side are you on?

Genetic Modification of Humans

Do you think genetic modification (CRISPR) of humans should be allowed?

The genetic modification of humans and embryos using CRISPR technology is a topic that ignites public debate. Supporters see it as a chance to eliminate genetic diseases and improve the quality of life for future generations. Critics warn, however, that “enhancing” appearance or intelligence could lead to the emergence of an elite superhuman caste, as well as to an ethical slippery slope where the line between treatment and human design becomes blurred. History teaches that every revolutionary technology carries both hope and risk. Is tampering with the code of life the courage of science, or the hubris of mankind?

Pornography vs. Romantic Movies

Do you think pornography distorts men’s perception of relationships to a similar extent as romantic movies do for women?

Pornography and romantic movies are two worlds that seemingly have little in common, yet both can similarly influence people’s perceptions of relationships. Supporters of the comparison argue that both men and women are fed unrealistic scenarios – men with visions of constant sexual availability, women with fairy-tale love free of everyday problems. Critics, however, point out that pornography more strongly affects the brain’s reward system, causing addictions and distorting expectations toward a partner. The question then arises – aren’t both of these forms, in essence, different faces of the same illusion that undermines real bonds?
