In the UK we're in the run-up to a general election and for many, the petty politicking puts the 'pain' into 'campaign'.
So, as a distraction, I thought it might be fun to sue this time to ponder some deeper
questions
than those of politics. They are equally unanswerable, but some answers make more sense that others.
To join in, each day at noon (BST) between now and the election on 7th May, a new question will be posted on
Twitter
by @human_script using the
hashtag
#ponderables
. They will also be posted on . I'll try to post them here too once they've been published elsewhere, but it won't be one a day.
They will be
philosophical
, provocative and, I hope, fun. For the answers to the questions, read
The Human Script. The answers are all in there. Somewhere. Although don't expect them always to be straightforward.
Do you need faith to believe in the scientific method ?
If what we do is influenced by nature and nurture , what room does that leave for ‪free will� ?
