Brigitte Macron – rumors about gender change

What do you think Brigitte Macron should do to put an end to the rumors and conspiracy theories about her alleged gender change?

Brigitte Macron has been struggling for years with a wave of sensational rumors about a gender change – a topic that stirs both French and international public opinion. To a large extent, their popularization was driven by Natacha Rey and Amandine Roy, who in their publications and recordings suggested that the First Lady of France was in her youth actually her brother Jean-Michel Trogneux. Supporters of conspiracy theories point to ambiguities in documents and claim that her brother is in fact herself. For some, this is an absurd attack on the First Lady of France, for others – proof of a “hidden truth” covered up by the elites. Should Brigitte Macron cut off these speculations by appearing publicly with her brother, or should she remain silent and let the internet forget?

Free Will

Do you believe humans possess free will, or are our decisions in reality predetermined or controlled?

The topic of free will has divided philosophers, scientists, and theologians for centuries. Some claim it is the foundation of moral responsibility – without it, life loses its meaning. Others argue that our choices are merely the product of chemical reactions in the brain, determined by our genes and environment. Some theories add to this the idea that we are part of a simulation controlled by higher beings, and our “freedom” is just part of the program. Does destiny exist, with us merely playing assigned roles? Or do we truly create our own fate? Cast your vote in the poll and see where the balance tips.

Destiny

How do you think destiny works in a person’s life?

The topic of destiny has divided people for centuries into fatalists and supporters of free will. Some believe that everything, from birth to our last breath, is written in the “book of life” by God, fate, or other forces, and our choices are only an illusion. Others are convinced that there are certain “turning points” written into the script, but the road between them depends entirely on us. Skeptics reject destiny altogether, seeing it as an excuse for inaction. Increasingly popular is also the theory that we live in a simulation and our fates are the result of code written by someone “on the other side of the screen.” Do we really have any influence over our own lives?

Telepathy

Do you believe that telepathy is a real phenomenon that can occur between people?

Telepathy has sparked both fascination and skepticism for decades. Some claim it is proof of the existence of deeper, invisible bonds between people, while others see it as merely a romantic myth fueled by literature and pop culture. Scientific research has not provided conclusive evidence, yet reports of “thought transmission” between close individuals keep resurfacing, often in extreme situations or moments of strong emotion. Is it a hidden ability of the brain, a remnant of ancient evolutionary mechanisms, or rather a coincidence we like to interpret as something magical? Perhaps we are simply afraid to admit that we know more about each other than we would like to.

Women’s Ordination

Do you think women should have the right to serve in priestly roles as priests or bishops, similar to what happens in some other Christian denominations?

The debate over whether women should serve in priestly roles divides communities of the faithful like an old dispute over dogmas. Supporters of change invoke gender equality, secular laws, and the example of some Protestant churches, where female bishops and pastors no longer surprise anyone. Opponents stress fidelity to the Holy Scriptures and the tradition in which the priesthood has for centuries been reserved for men. Conspiracy theories also appear – from an alleged elite plan to break the foundations of the Church to “spiritual engineering” aimed at changing its identity. Is this a step toward renewal, or the beginning of the erosion of the sacred?

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?
