People have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.

Is it more important to help yourself, help your family, help your society, or help the world?

The world -- because without a world to stand on, you will not have yourself, your family, or your society. At least not within your current life, which will be over.

Also, for idiots arguing that the environment conflicts with the economy -- no. The economy is a subset of the environment. No environment, no economy.

>>Part is often age. The older someone gets, the less time is left for their misbehavior to catch up to them. An old person often can wreak havoc and escape into death before the consequences arrive.<<

Conversely, the older one gets, the less one has left to lose...which means, among other things that old people are more likely to fight back in muggings.
