  1. Do the questions to fall in love actually work?

  2. Moral realism, yay or nay? If nay, what then?

  3. Where do mosquitos go when it's cold?

  4. If I'm doing ok on a bunch of proxies for being healthy (BMI, low body fat, no vitamin deficiencies, normal cholesterol, other relevant things) is it ok that my diet is terrible and I never exercise?

  5. Are there any experience sampling studies of people whilst they are dreaming? Eg. someone's having a cheeky sleep, wake them up, ask them to rate how positive/ negative their dream experience was out of 10, compare this with their ratings for waking life experiences.

  6. Can people become so good at lucid dreaming that they can do useful things in their dreams (eg. do some meditation, get some work done...)

  7. What is going on with anthropics?

  8. Are there things that improve executive function?

  9. What have the romans ever done for us?

  10. Why do intelligence and attractiveness vary across people if they increase reproductive fitness?

  11. If I can't remember anything about the audibook that I listened to, have I learnt anything?

  12. Why was the last season of Game of Thrones so bad? Is my strong intuition that I could have written a better final season right?

  13. Do antidepressants have positive effects for people who aren't depressed?

  14. Should I pay lots of money to have my head put in a freezer after I die?

  15. To what extent is the success of really successful people (entrepreneurs, politicians etc.) a result of them having some special success sauce vs. selection bias? Why do lots of successful people seem kind of not very smart?
