Partner’s appearance

Do people you find exceptionally physically attractive often have a different type of appearance from those you imagine yourself in a long-term relationship with?

Strong physical attraction versus choosing a life partner is a topic that can reveal our hidden priorities. Many admit that “chemistry” operates on completely different principles than love and stability. Psychologists point out that instinct may draw us toward types completely different from those with whom we realistically envision a future. Is this proof of the dual nature of human desires, or the result of cultural patterns and social pressure? Check in the poll which side you’re on.

Mandatory work for prisoners

Do you think prisoners should be required to work while serving their sentence?

Is prisoner labor a path to rehabilitation or a legal form of cheap slavery? Supporters speak of rehabilitation and repaying the costs of imprisonment. Critics remind us that forced labor in confinement can be a form of repression rather than repair. Many point out that the state is eager to use free labor, hiding it under the slogan of “re-education.” Is mandatory work behind bars a fair solution or a return to camp-like methods?

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?

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?
