The US aims to launch a website called freedom.gov to let people in Europe (and possibly beyond) see online content that's currently blocked due to the Digital Services Act (DSA) that forces a safer online space in EU by holding digital platforms—particularly “Very Large Online Platforms” (VLOPs) such as Google, Amazon, Meta and X—accountable for removal of ¨illegal¨ or harmful content quickly and report risks like misinformation. Non-compliant platforms could be fined up to 6% of their global annual turnover. For VLOPs, this means billions of euros. If a platform repeatedly fails to comply with the DSA, the EU Commission can even impose a temporary or permanent ban.

Extreme self-sacrificing political protest refers to acts in which individuals intentionally endure severe bodily harm or life-threatening conditions in order to produce political change (e.g., prolonged hunger strikes, self-endangerment in protest, public self-inflicted injury).

A direct democracy is one that allows for citizens to participate in the government beyond electoral mechanisms. This looks like the ability to propose new constitutional amendments, vote on laws passed by the legislature via referendums, remove elected officials before their term ends etc. Meaningful strides towards this would involve credible infrastructure investments and completing milestones towards implementing this policy (as is typical of long-form state policy prerogatives).

Retired Husband Syndrome (RHS) affects up to 60% of Japanese women after their husbands retire, causing depression, insomnia, high blood pressure, and anxiety from the sudden full-time presence of a spouse expecting traditional caretaking. Rooted in rigid gender roles—husbands as work-focused strangers, wives as household managers—this disrupts routines and imposes constant emotional/physical strain on women. Currently, divorce is only legal/granted based on specific fault-based grounds and most divorce laws exclude this and other forms of neglect as legal grounds, with appeals routinely rejected, leaving women without recourse.

The Secretary General of the United Nations has been shown a button which, if pressed, would randomly redistribute all illnesses, ailments and disabilities to the world population in exactly 10 years. This would then repeat cyclically every 5 years. Once pressed, the decision cannot be reversed, is guaranteed to happen and there is no mechanism to opt out of the redistribution. This is being viewed by billions around the globe. The Secretary General has not made up their mind yet.

Dual narrative views reality as categorical - actions, actors, and conflicts must ultimately be classified as either good or evil, right or wrong. Relativistic narrative rejects fixed moral categorisation - actions and conflicts cannot and should not be seen as just good or bad.
