Is there any way to find out?

Your Red

Is there any way to find out?

Then ask

  • Would a brain scan settle it, or just push the question back?
  • If nobody could ever tell, does the difference matter?
  • Would you want to look through someone else's eyes for an hour?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
