    This week's questions:

    1. How do fictional stories help us explore ethical dilemmas about the future?

    2. Do fictional characters have their own “lives” once created, or do they only exist in the mind of the reader or writer?

    3. Can absence of information create a more powerful narrative?

    4. As humans, we gravitate towards stories with conflict. It almost seems that every story we tell, has conflict. Could a story without conflict still be compelling?

    5. How do stories help us process emotions and experiences that we struggle to express directly in real life?

    6. What makes a story universal, meaning able to resonate across different cultures, languages, and time periods?

    Sep 22 2024

    This week we explore the complexity of Human Emotions by asking ourselves the following thought provoking questions:

    1. How would you explain human emotions to an alien?
    2. If you could get rid of one emotion for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
    3. Is love the most powerful emotion, or is fear the true force driving human behaviour?
    4. Do you think artificial intelligence will ever truly be capable of experiencing emotions?
    5. Do you think animals experience emotions in the same way humans do?
    6. If you could press a button to never feel emotional pain again, would you do it?
    7. Are emotions like jealousy or anxiety helpful in any way, or are they just emotional "waste”?
