Questions for Reflection

  1. Does anything matter more than survival – and if so, what, and why?
  2. If we had to make a choice, what should we save: human lives, or human thought (genes or memes)?
  3. Can we make an afterlife in the form of a virtual reality? Should we?

Questions for Reflection

  1. Is the idea of fate relevant to the modern world ?
  2. Oracles has passed into History, but Fortune Teller, Psychics and others are still around. What is this fascination we have with knowing the future ?
  3. If you know the future can you avoid your fate ?
