What Makes These Questions Hard
A truly hard Would You Rather question is balanced on a knife’s edge:
- Ethics: save five strangers or one person you love?
- Knowledge: know the date of your death or the cause?
- Life: a short, extraordinary life or a long, ordinary one?
- Identity: be feared by everyone or forgotten by everyone?
How to Get the Best Debate

|---|---|
| Slow down | Let people sit with the dilemma |
| Demand a why | The reasoning is the real conversation |
