I was looking at this picture I took several years to go and was wondering what I might ask had I a crystal ball. What might I want to know about the future, or the past, or what I might want to know what I could do to improve the present. There are so, so many things that could affect outcomes, but unfortunately, there is no crystal ball to ask.
However, since I like polls, I thought I would add a lot of pretty general questions as a guide, and then ask the audience the kinds of things that you might want to know, if you could. Even though it is pretty much impossible, I reckon that by reflecting on these things, we might be able to discover something about ourselves, our current situation, and perhaps an inkling of which direction might be good to take. From there, a few practical next steps could be created, and perhaps maybe even starting to move to where we want to be.
Ultimately, no matter the state of the current world or the situations we face, and no matter what hurdles lay in front of us, or what is holding us back - we should all be looking to be better where we can. We aren't all the same, we don't have the same opportunity or resources available, but we can all do something to improve ourselves, for ourselves, and for those we care about.
There will be bonus points for anyone who puts in some thought into their response and adds one thing they can do to take a step closer. So without too much priming, let's dive into it and hopefully we can have some fun in the comment section over the next day or two. You can use 4 votes, but it is also likely that the things that are most important to you aren't listed, so add them into a comment.
Be thoughtful!

I would like to know how to earn money fast so that I wouldn't spend my years for working for saving some money.
I really would like to know whether there is an afterlife. What if no and all prayers/practices go for nothing? 🙄
I would like to know how I can make my life better. It seems by changing the place where I live.
I would like to know what the perfect economy is for humanity so that we don't suffer crisis every 8-10 years or so.
My praying never helped me, so I stopped :)
If you could choose anywhere, where would it be?
I wonder if we had a perfect model available, would anyone use it?
It would be definetely somewhere in southeast of Türkiye.
I don't think as this current system has made us egoist.
Should I take anything from the fact that you had how to be liked on there twice? I think living a life you can be happy about is much better than lots of money or anything like that.
:D :D
I am very needy!
Nah, it is an oversight. I was trying to come up with things that are pretty basic as prompts. What would you add?
Did I make a difference. That's probably the biggest one I would want to know I think.
Very interesting that you have raised this poll. I voted for four items. I admit that I am not very pragmatic, but rather a bit “idealistic” (not in the philosophical sense, perhaps in the ethical or moral). For my first item it was “My purpose in life” (then, “If I am a good person”, “How to be loved” and “How to love fully”). I don't think there are definitive and complete answers to those concerns. We are always in process. About the first one, on which I will dwell, I can say that I have been answering it gradually, to the extent of my experience (although perhaps all of them have a similar consideration). My purpose has been oriented to be well with myself and with others, trying to be honest and responsible. For that reason, I assumed the alternative of art, in a broad sense, especially literature (poetry and essays). And I believe I have achieved something in them (two printed books of poetry), and many essayistic texts, in newspapers, magazines and in this platform.
Thank you and best regards, @tarazkp.

I knew something about this community, but it had passed me by a bit. A friend of mine reminded me of it these days. I will keep it more in mind, to post on it. One question: are the publications free, do they not respond to any topic or subject?

I would like to know the methods of making money fast. Actually, I know but my possibilities are limited :) Of course, it would be better if I knew the best solution.
I don't want the money completely, I would like to help people in need. I would like to eliminate the shortcomings of the social state.
It would be pretty good to be able to get a oath forward based on current capabilities, rather than a path that might work "if" you have all the resources available.
I would like to know things about future that would help me anticipate threats or dangers to me and my loved ones. That plus something like knowing what the next Google or Amazon would be should cover it 😀
What if you found out and it was something unchangeable?
The next Google or amazon - will probably be some AI generated company, that takes over all others. ;D
If it was something that I cannot change I would probably not want to know...
Once the crystal ball reveals, it can't be unseen.
Can I choose only 1 question? I am only interested in the question of the afterlife, I know everything else :)
Sure.
You have it all sorted out :)
The purpose of life, from my perspective, seems to be a balance between exploration, growth, and connection. At the biological level, life seeks to perpetuate itself through adaptation and evolution. At the human level, it transcends the physical, we seek to understand the universe, find meaning in our experiences and connect with other beings. Technology and science extend this purpose by allowing us to explore beyond our natural limits, while ethics reminds us of our responsibility to all living things. The purpose of life can lie in creating, learning, loving and contributing to collective well-being, expanding consciousness and leaving a legacy of compassion and knowledge for future generations.
But this doesn't answer the question of what you would want to know.
I'm not interested in knowing anything, I would like to go back to the past consciously knowing that I come from 2025; specifically to 13 December 1994 and save a life. My vote in the poll was for ‘My purpose in life’.

I think I have chosen and found many have the same options as me
They are the same thing how to make money fast and are actually related to how to make your life better.
As for my option which I find the most difficult is how to be liked because I see that pleasing people has become an unattainable goal in the world of envy and hatred in which we live.
I want to build so.ething, develop a piece of a community, plant, plan, give people work... but where? MY current place could use some changing. Too much factors that suck, though... so, if I were to stay...
I guess the answer is nothing, realistically. I guess it doesn't care.
I would like to end wars. But it is something I feel powerless to do. So I would like to ask about that. But I imagine that as long as humanity exists there will also be wars. Also I never had sex so if I ever get a chance I would like to be good at it... But I would also likely abuse the crystal ball by asking the outcome of the dice/basketball games.
My dad did a bit of sports betting but decided that it was not worth it.
Mine would be how to become a good parent, i get scared everyday not to fail, but bring up my kids in way the society and myself will be proud off
Hmm I went through the list.. And actually only two appealed to me.
How to earn money fast
Next week's lottery numbers
Without trying to sound like I am so money-mind, I think financial freedom is so underrated. It allows one to escape the rat race and to have so many more hours to live life to the fullest.
As for the rest, I think there are some points which I already am aware of (e.g. how to be content) or I don't think are within my capabilities at least in this lifetime (e.g. how to end wars).
So there you go!
Interesting poll. I chose four preselect answers without writing one of my own. The charm of being a teacher is that I find myself constantly learning every day, often times from people younger than me. I also find myself getting decent activity on my school days, breaking over 10K daily steps as I buzz around my classrooms to observe and assist the learning of my students. Lucky I've got a job that allows me to stay sharp and stay fit while spending the day hanging out with a bunch of kids.
yup! I knew #1 would be all about the money!! 😀😁👊
