  • Is there a theory of everything?

  • What kind of sex is worth wanting?

  • How do we think about gender?

  • How do we disagree better?

  • How can we train attention to be stronger?

  • Can we become more rational?

  • What is your conflict style?

  • You have to think about how your decisions impact a larger issue.
