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?

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?

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?

Evolution or creation

In your opinion, did humans come into existence as a result of:

Is the history of humanity the result of slow evolution, or perhaps an act of conscious creation? Supporters of Darwin’s theory see us as the outcome of millions of years of natural selection and mutation, while believers in creationism point to the lack of conclusive evidence for “originating from apes.” Increasingly popular are also concepts combining both approaches – God may have used evolutionary processes in His plan. Others go further, suggesting that humans are the result of genetic modifications carried out by alien civilizations, which fits into the current of paleoastronautic theories. Which of these explanations sounds closest to the truth for you?

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?
