What I���ve pondered lately

How do almond slicers work?Is historical accuracy in fiction worth it if it means your text perpetuates undesirable behaviour?Do humans possess the intellectual and empathic capacity to recognise machine sentience/sapience if it happens for real?From purely a self-knowledge standpoint, how much of a certain race must be in your heritage before you can identify as a person of that race?Could fiction writers make water pipe maintenance sound so interesting that it helps foster a culture of sustainability? (Municipal utilities romance ��� how���s that for a subgenre.)
