Wealth and prosperity vs fertility – a natural correlation or the result of manipulation?

In your opinion, does the increase in wealth and prosperity of society correlate with having fewer children, or even with childlessness?

The relationship between wealth and fertility has been controversial for years. On the one hand, data show that in developed countries the number of children decreases with the rising standard of living and social security. On the other hand, some argue that the promotion of consumption and childlessness plays a key role. A symbolic reference is John Calhoun’s mouse experiment, the so-called “Universe 25” – creating ideal living conditions (food, water, no threats) led to the disappearance of reproductive behavior and the collapse of the colony. For some, this is a natural civilizational mechanism, for others proof that societies are being deliberately manipulated to limit population growth. Is the decline in fertility the effect of prosperity, or a planned experiment on humanity?

Veganism and crude oil

Should a true vegan use crude oil, since it was formed from the remains of animals and organisms?

Veganism and crude oil – the topic sounds absurd, yet it sparks debates that expose the limits of ideology. Since oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants millions of years ago, does its use contradict the principle of avoiding anything animal-related? Radical critics argue that consistency would require rejecting it, though in practice this would be impossible. Pragmatists respond that oil is today treated as a mineral resource, not an “animal product” in the sense of veganism. The dispute quickly takes on a philosophical dimension – where does ethics end and common sense begin? And should an ideology that seeks to change the world be so uncompromising?

Age difference in relationships – tradition or no big deal?

What do you think the age difference should be between a woman and a man in a typical relationship?

The age difference in relationships has always stirred emotions and provoked sharp debates. For some, it’s natural – the man older, the woman younger, as in traditional marriage models. Others argue that more and more often women choose younger partners, appreciating their energy and freshness, while men seek maturity and stability. Still others claim that peer relationships are best – it’s easier to experience the stages of life together and age in sync. Psychologists and sociologists argue over whether age difference truly determines a relationship’s durability, while conspiracy theories add the thread of a “hidden biology” of partner selection. And you – tradition or a modern approach?

Voting rights of seniors – generational balance or demographic dominance?

Should people above retirement age who no longer work have a limited influence on elections, given that seniors now outnumber younger voters?

The voting rights of seniors is a subject that ignites emotions like a spark on a powder keg. On one hand, the older generation has every right to decide, as they built the state and paid taxes for decades. On the other, critics point out that the demographic dominance of seniors distorts balance, as they decide on a future they may not live to see. Controversial proposals are emerging: from reducing the weight of their vote to completely stripping people of retirement age of their voting rights. It sounds like heresy against democracy, yet the debate increasingly circles back to the question of whether the electoral system truly reflects generational balance, or instead blocks changes that would benefit the young. And you – whose side are you on?

Voting rights and living on welfa

Should people who live exclusively on social welfare have the right to vote?

Voting rights and living on welfare is a topic that has sparked heated disputes for years and questions the very foundations of democracy. For some, it is obvious that every citizen has a voice regardless of their source of income – because that is what the constitution guarantees. Others provocatively ask whether someone living solely off other people’s taxes should decide how that money is spent. This strikes at the dilemma of equality before the law versus citizens’ financial responsibility. Supporters of restrictions warn against “buying votes” through welfare programs, while opponents see in it the threat of creating second-class citizens. Is this still democracy, or already a system based on economic selection?

Foundations supporting LGBT rights – philanthropy or a tool of a global agenda?

How do you assess the influence of the largest foundations and organizations supporting LGBT rights worldwide (including George Soros’s Open Society Foundations)?

Foundations supporting LGBT rights have long been a flashpoint in public debate. For some, such as George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, Jon Stryker’s Arcus Foundation, or Tim Gill’s Gill Foundation, they are pure philanthropy, a fight for equality and human rights. For others, they are a cover for a global agenda in which LGBT promotion becomes a political tool or even a social experiment undermining traditional values. Surrounding this issue are both facts and conspiracy theories about depopulation, demographic control, or attempts to reshape societies according to a “new order.” Is it genuine defense of minorities, or social engineering financed by elites?
