First impressions
What would you most hate people to get wrong about you after meeting you for five minutes?
And how often do we do exactly that to fictional characters — or real people?
Convenience
Which useful technology would you refuse if the price were giving up too much privacy?
Where exactly is “too much”?
The comfortable version
Would you always rather know the truth?
Think before answering. “Always” is doing quite a lot of work in that sentence.
Your own decision?
How can you tell whether a choice is really yours?
Family, friends, algorithms, money, culture, fear, fashion — influence does not necessarily cancel freedom. So where is the line?
Understanding
Who is easier to understand: someone who is like you, or someone who is honest about being completely different?
Progress
If something becomes possible, does that mean we should do it?
Technology can answer “can we?” surprisingly often. Humans still have the inconvenient second question.
