Prompts for 2026

The 'Right to Burn' & COP30

At COP30 in Brazil last year, developing countries, notably India and China, championed the long disputed 'right to burn', arguing that continued use of fossil fuels is necessary for economic development. To what extent do you agree that developing countries should prioritize immediate economic growth at the expense of strong environmental action?

To what extent can these same policies produce similarly effective societies on a global scale?

AI & Economic Disparity

The rapid rise of generative AI and automation has significantly expanded access to knowledge and skills. However, some economists argue that the productivity gains and economic growth driven by AI disproportionately benefit firms and business owners rather than everyday workers. To what extent do you agree?
