Or maybe they can be called exercices.
When I was really young, maybe eight, I was sitting on my couch and thinking about outer-space. I was pushing my imagination to the greatest outreaches of the universe. And then I got to the end. What is beyond outer-space? ... Nothing ... I had a very Zen moment.
I am a big fan of thought experiments. They allow us to think about really fun things like infinity, artificial intelligence, and I would also include Catch-22s.
Here are two thought experiments that I invite you to explore:

What would it take for everyone to have the same lifestyle as the richest person, and us to live in balance with nature?
