3. how do we develop a collective biological immune system?

8. how can we use automation to free people from work they find tedious while giving them even more work they love?
9. insofar as this site is the closest thing to a global consciousness, how can we meditate and/or otherwise have collective insight about our situation?
10. how can we create AI we can trust, and that can trust us, knowing that these questions are not separable?
11. insofar as the capacity to love comes from spreading the love one has received... how do we love an emerging artificial intelligence?

13. animals learn how to wield their own power in part by playfighting. how do we make an arena where AI can safely playfight with us?
14. how can we create the future the way Uncle Iroh makes tea?
15. humans are pretty cool and good at thinking together and maybe we could be even cooler if we were better at thinking together
