Ten questions to address during 2015

Rather than making resolutions (which I won’t keep) I have listed the 10 questions that I would like to consider (but won’t) during this next year:

  1. Are not “rights not to ” integral to “rights to”? Rather than freedom of religion, would it not be better to have freedom from religion or perhaps the “right to be free of religion”?
  2. Isn’t the continuity of an organised religion entirely dependent upon the brainwashing of children to follow that religion?
  3. Is evolution constrained (imprisoned) by the Earth? or is Earth the prison planet for evolution?
  4. Why do we need priests to tell others what to believe? Aren’t priests  – by definition – an institutionalisation of inequality?
  5. Why do all societies have taxation on wealth creation instead of on wealth consumption?
  6. Why do we need or allow cost or price inflation?
  7. Why are concepts of equality not subordinated to justice?
  8. Could Shia (+US) versus Sunni (+Russia) start WWIII? or Russia versus EU? or China versus Japan? or China versus India?
  9. Do we need barbarism to exist to be able to define civilised behaviour?
  10. Why don’t physicists and cosmologists just admit that they cannot (yet) explain any one of the fundamental forces of nature (the strong interaction force, the electromagnetic force, the weak force and the gravitational force)  and instead of using jargon just call them Magic Force Types 1, 2, 3 and 4?
