Topic Poll
for 7 April 2026
The vote went to resuming weekly polls (although a lot of you were good with monthly ones). So we’re going back to a weekly poll for the present. (I may try monthly or bi-weekly polls in the future if I need a break again.)
We plowed through a lot of our more popular past options in March, so can we get some more topic suggestions in the comments today?
Since the poll limits the options to just a few characters, here are more complete versions of this week’s poll issues:
Was Ayn Rand right? Who are your favorite political philosophers?
How do we with deal with the problems involved with surrogacy/IVF?
What can be done about the high cost of beef?
Is there a feasible solution for out-of-control activist judges?
I want a discussion on how or if AI can be used to solve if or how it can solve its own energy problems and design ways to power data centers that won’t deprive society of the energy needed by all of the other sectors of an economy…
It was interesting this weekend how many people here seemed to enjoy talking about food. In a slow week of news and controversy (if there occurs such a week anymore), maybe topics about food. Examples: favorite cookbook, the last new recipe or homecooked dish made, etc. Completely frivolous, I know, but a good diversion from serious topics.
