Aint no wrong answer! A conversation about philosophical questions

The essence of Table Conversations is that there are no wrong answers. We're here to openly discuss our thoughts and opinions. So tonight we will be doing that with gusto and intention!

1. What in life is truly objective and not subjective? Why?
2. What is the biggest threat to the social contract in our society? Why?
3. In a moral society what rights should every human be granted? Do those rights change with age? Why or why not?
4. Do you think that there is a beginning of time? Why or why not? And if so, what was there before time existed?
5. Do you think that the universe is finite? If so, what exists beyond "the edge" of the universe? If not, why not?
6. What is the most important right that citizens must have? Why?
7. Should people be morally or ethically obligated to improve themselves? Why or why not?
8. Should citizens be able to dictate how their own tax dollars are spent? Why or why not?
9. Should euthanasia be legal? Why or why not?
10. What would happen if everyone just said what they were actually thinking? Why?
11. Is math something that humans created or something we discovered? Why?
12. How would you define genius? Why?
13. Could societies exist without some way to transfer value (i.e. money, property, bartering)? Why or why not?
14. What is the best path to truth: science, art, math, philosophy, or something else? Why?
15. What would be the most ethical way to donate five million dollars? Why?
16. If there were no religions would people be more, less or equally moral? Why?
17. What are the benefits and deficiencies of diversity in society? Why?
18. Why are humans susceptible to magical thinking?
19. Is happiness just a chemical reaction in your brain or is there more to it? Why?
20. Is the universe eternal? If so, why? If not, what existed before the universe began? And what will exist after this universe ends?
    *** BONUS QUESTIONS ***
21. Do people in wealthier countries have a moral obligation to help those in poorer countries? Why or why not?
22. Do people with more generally have a moral obligation to help those with less? Why or why not?
23. Is there inherent order in nature or is it all just chaos and chance? Why?
