Chat Availability Indicator In Real Life

Idea: A social-media-style indicator light to indicate whether you're willing to chat (or flirt or otherwise interact) with nearby people in real life. It would either be displayed in the other person's augmented-reality glasses or on your earring. It could either display the same value (such as "green: available to chat" or "red: not available to chat") to everyone, or display different values to different people to indicate which people you want to talk to. Also: the risk of it making people even more antisocial; either using it as feedback to help train people to read body language or using it as a crutch to never bother to understand body language; everybody immediately pulling out their phones to set a green light every time an attractive woman walks into a room

Election Trust Issues and Vote Counting Issues

A conversation about elections and how weird it is that the media can call the result of an election with only like 10% of the votes counted. Also: ideas to increase trust in the election results, including a) forcing the media to wait until all of the votes are counted before announcing a result, b) attaching a random number to your ballot so you can enter that number into a web site later to ensure that your vote was counted, and c) forcing politicians to wear logos of their corporate sponsors like NASCAR drivers; hoping for all of the election chaos during the midterm elections (because a Civil War would never be triggered by midterms)

Name-Remembering Glasses

Idea: Augmented-reality glasses with an app which displays the names of people who you're looking at, so you don't have to remember their names. It may also display info about the person and how you know them. Also: the difficulty of teachers to remember student names, especially years later when running into them outside of school; assigning a person a "monster avatar" in the glasses as a memorization aide; discussing problems with high school education

Gen Z Cultural Illiteracy Ideas

A conversation on how weird it is that so many young people hadn't heard of Jeffrey Dahmer before the recent Netflix show, and how Gen Z (and sometimes older people as well) don't know hardly anything about the culture or history from the decades before they reached adulthood. This conversation includes some (unsuccessful) brainstorming of ideas on how to solve that problem. Also: are low attention spans, binge watching, social media, and/or an overabundance of non-educational entertainment choices the cause of the problem, or are neglectful parents who don't talk to their kids and/or inspire their kid's intellectual curiosity to blame; an idea for the government replace PSAs with "educational product placement" within popular shows and video games (which would cover much broader educational topics than today's PSAs); an idea for a parental control app that forces kids to consume educational content before being able to continue to use social media, TV, or videogames; TV shows like "The Walking Dead" and sci-fi which aren't educational per-se, but can make you think, such as to speculate on how to survive in fictional scenarios
