My favourite question is definitely about where we are are on the determinism/free will spectrum. My working answer is that repetition and lack of self-awareness reduces the plasticity of our minds, resulting in an increase of determinism. That is, we lock ourselves into certain behaviours, reducing our own free will. This is why meditation, reflection, philosophy, literature, and certain social sciences can lead to increased plasticity through self-awareness and presence.
