Please help support young people with high learning potential<\/h3>\n

D<\/strong>onate directly to Potential Plus UK or set up your own challenge to raise funds so that we can support more young people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jason Buckley is a trustee of Potential Plus UK. He also runs courses as “The Philosophy Man”, therefore for his 2.6 Challenge video he asks 26 questions in under 2.6 minutes.<\/p>\n

However, that is just a touch fast to allow you to think about them – so here is the list of questions for you to contemplate properly!<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If a robot argued that it should be set free, would it be wrong for its master to keep it?<\/li>\n
  2. Is it worse to kick a ball at a window twice and break it, or four times and not break it?<\/li>\n
  3. If Jo’s grandad stole something from Alex’s grandma, does Jo owe it to Alex?<\/li>\n
  4. If you never share, but never ask others to share, are you selfish?<\/li>\n
  5. Is it better to be an unhappy human or a very happy sheep?<\/li>\n
  6. Should there be a limit to how much one person can own?<\/li>\n
  7. If worker A gets more work done, but worker B works harder, who deserves more?<\/li>\n
  8. Is it better to be a good person who everyone thinks is bad, or a bad person who everyone thinks is good?<\/li>\n
  9. Are humans wild or tame?<\/li>\n
  10. Is being a good person more about following rules or making other people happy?<\/li>\n
  11. Should the government put extra tax on foods that are bad for us?<\/li>\n
  12. Would you rather meet your ancestors or your descendants?<\/li>\n
  13. Should parents get an extra vote to cast for each child?<\/li>\n
  14. Can an animal-lover be a meat-lover?<\/li>\n
  15. Would it be better to have fewer, larger countries or more, smaller countries?<\/li>\n
  16. Could someone in the past keep slaves and still be a good person?<\/li>\n
  17. Is respect earned by what you do, or by who you are?<\/li>\n
  18. Should we spend more money on space exploration when there are problems to fix on earth?<\/li>\n
  19. If something is natural, does that make it good?<\/li>\n
  20. Would it be better if nobody ever got angry?<\/li>\n
  21. Is life better when you\u2019re a grown-up or when you\u2019re a child?<\/li>\n
  22. Would it better to go into the future or back into the past?<\/li>\n
  23. Would it be good if all the countries merged to have one government?<\/li>\n
  24. \u00a0Should we judge people more by their thoughts, or by their actions?<\/li>\n
  25. Was mathematics invented or discovered?<\/li>\n
  26. Is it ever OK for a government to lie to its people?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”black”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The 2.6 Challenge took place between April 26th-May 3rd, 2020. It was organised by the London Marathon as a replacement for the 40th marathon that would have taken place on April 26th, 2020 but which was cancelled due to Covid-19. The 2.6 Challenge is designed to raise funds for charities and people challenged themselves to do things with the theme of 2.6 or 26.<\/p>\n
