possible future topics

Other topics that I might explore sometime:

How can I thoroughly research candidates, for both the primary elections and the final elections?

While I'm not pointing to any one individual or group, I wonder what we can do about corruption in government.

How do you decide what questions to ask (questions you ask yourself, and questions you ask other people)?

What that we can do will be of the most help to the individuals in the world who are worst off? For example, can we help most by educating ourselves and others, helping individuals directly, electing different government officials, improving ways to give public feedback to government, protesting, praying, ethical living, some other thing, or some combination of these things?

• Which is better, trying to elect different government officials, or changing things from below by standing up to the government, or improving the mechanisms by which government officials communicate with each other and with the public?
• Which is better, educating ourselves about civic life, or educating others about civic life? Educating kids or educating adults? Thoroughly educating a few people, or educating a lot of people a little bit?
• Which is better, promoting government regulations or promoting voluntary ethical living?

How can I know what statements that leaders make are true?

Which news sources do you like best and why?

If you were an extremely busy person, what basic tasks that help the community would still go on your checklist (for example, recyling or reading/watching news or learning CPR)?

What can we do to help our government to function better? And are there ways to improve our elections (changes to election laws, pledges, etc.)? How do I choose a candidate in a primary race?

Do you have goals? If so, do any of your goals involve any kind of activity to help the community (learning about issues, volunteering, advocacy, dialogue, or anything else)?

I'm always interested in hearing from others who are also looking for answers, and comparing notes about how we go about looking for answers.

What can we do about the problems associated with animal agriculture, such as animal suffering and environmental problems? (I am vegan, and am interested in hearing answers to this question both from other vegans and from non-vegans.)

Is there one kind of vegan diet that is healthiest for everyone, or do different individuals do best on different kinds of vegan diets?

What is the evidence regarding human-induced global warming?

What is the true nature of the divine?

What do we do about inequality between groups of individuals (sometimes called "privilege")?
