Who needs philosophy and science anyway? Well, it seems during 2020 almost everyone did, as the fundamental way to think and seek to understand about things in life grew in importance. It was a turbulent year, one where politics became more polarized and tribal and the Coronavirus pandemic changed the world, while the universal questions remained as vital as ever. That’s why this book of over 200 questions asked during 2020 and their solid scientific and philosophically based responses is important. It not only lets us look back but also lets us dig deeper into the psyche that is us, that is unique to us humans – that is our thinking mind. It is fitting that questions asked in the social media public forum Quora are the medium used to tap into the general feel of society. This book takes Quora questions raised in 2020 that were responded to by scientist, philosopher and author Dr Robin Craig, and groups them into like areas, spanning diverse topics including Philosophy, Reality and Truth; Ethics and Rights; Science, Evolution, Consciousness and Humankind; and Law, Free Will, Freedom and Politics. They include burning questions of life today on Morals, Artificial Intelligence, The Earth and Overpopulation, Evil and Money and of course Coronavirus. There is something of interest and something to learn in this book for everyone. It may be read in short bursts, or via total immersion into areas of main interest. This is a fascinating insight into key questions asked during 2020, and a great summary of the year that was and our thoughts along the way.
