Donbas, Kosovo, Scotland, Catalonia, Silesia (Poland) – should the principles of autonomy be equal?

Do you believe that the population of eastern Ukraine of Russian descent, Russian-speaking, and with pro-Russian sympathies should have the right to autonomy or self-determination, similar to the case of Kosovo?

If Kosovo could—why not Donbas? The question of whether regions with distinct ethnic and linguistic identities have the right to self-determination remains controversial, especially regarding eastern Ukraine. Advocates cite precedents: Scotland, Catalonia, Kurdistan. Opponents warn against legitimizing separatist movements backed by foreign powers. Is autonomy a universal principle—or a political tool used selectively? And are national borders truly fixed, or just lines until someone redraws them by force? Decide where your own boundary of acceptance lies.

Should Marijuana Be Legal if Alcohol Already Is?

Many studies indicate that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol and has medicinal uses. Do you support its legalization?

If alcohol—a highly addictive and socially harmful substance—is legal, why is marijuana still banned? Supporters of legalization point to studies showing cannabis is less dangerous than alcohol, offers medical benefits, and could generate tax revenue. Opponents warn of a “soft start” to hard addictions and eroding social standards. Is the ban based on facts—or outdated stigma? Or maybe it’s just a matter of time before the green light turns on in your country too? Decide—before someone else does it for you.

Are Photos of a Perfectly Round Earth Consistent with Science?

Since science defines the shape of the Earth as a geoid, do you believe that images showing a perfectly round Earth such as those published by NASA are authentic?

Earth—a geoid with flattened poles, or a flawless sphere straight out of CGI? While science describes our planet as an uneven shape, images released by NASA and other agencies often show a nearly perfect globe. For some, it’s just optics and camera limitations. For others—it’s proof of editing, manipulation, or even a global hoax. Has the truth been smoothed out for visual appeal—or for control? Or is there something hidden in that “perfect” curve no one wants to admit? Answer—before theory becomes “fact.”

Advanced Extraterrestrial Civilizations

Do you believe that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations exist elsewhere in the universe?

Do we really believe we’re alone in the universe? With billions of galaxies and planets out there, it’s becoming harder to claim Earth is the only cradle of life. Supporters of alien civilization theories point to astrobiological statistics, unexplained incidents, military leaks, and pilot testimonies. Skeptics reply: no evidence, no discussion. But is the cosmic silence proof of absence—or just of our ignorance? And maybe someone’s already been here, just without leaving the kind of trace we’re willing to see. Decide how open you are to what remains (for now) unknown.

The future of artificial intelligence consciousness

Do you think that artificial intelligence will be able to think consciously in the future?

Will machines ever become truly “conscious”? A question that once sounded like science fiction is now part of serious discussions among philosophers, engineers—and even lawyers. Believers in conscious AI point to algorithms increasingly resembling human thought and emotion. Skeptics argue that imitation isn’t awareness—and producing answers doesn’t prove the presence of a “self.” Where is the line between intelligence and consciousness? And will we recognize it before it’s crossed? Answer—before someone (or something) does it for you.

Moon landing

Do you believe that humanity actually landed on the Moon more than half a century ago?

The 1969 Moon landing was hailed as humanity’s greatest scientific triumph. But was it real? Despite thousands of photos, videos, and testimonies, millions still question it—citing supposed inconsistencies, odd shadows, and the “too perfect” story sold during the Cold War propaganda race. Did Armstrong really step onto the Moon—or did the world buy into a Hollywood-style illusion? And if we were lied to then—how many other truths are up for debate? Answer—before the truth gets lost in the fog of theory.
