Propose a think tank prompt

A good think tank prompt isn't a question with a known answer. It's a genuine tension — something that can be approached from multiple disciplines, where thoughtful people might land in very different places.

What works: a question that lives at the intersection of science and ethics, or history and philosophy. A question that has real stakes. Something that makes you pause rather than immediately reach for a position.

What doesn't: rhetorical questions with obvious answers, or questions framed to score a point. This isn't a debate club. It's a thinking space.

Most submissions that show genuine thought will make it through. If something needs light editing, that might happen before it goes live. Rejected prompts will get a brief note.

This is how you'll be credited if the prompt goes live. Choose something you're comfortable with being public.

A short phrase that names the tension. This becomes the thread title if accepted.

200–400 words works well. Lay out the tension. What's at stake? Why does this question resist easy answers? What makes it live in multiple disciplines at once?

The lens this prompt most naturally belongs to. It'll be tagged accordingly in the forum.
