Here is a full list of pages that have been linked to but do not exist yet. Please create links to topics that are relevant, because they will then appear here and can be written at a later point. It's like writing a note 'Hey, here is this interesting topic you need/want to write about!'
NOTES:
Emergence - Conway's game of life
Fun/Jokes - Elitarianism where it seems like people (especially younger people) always act like they are in some kind of competition to be the funniest and always passive-aggressively attack others for their “poor” jokes while praising others. It seems like people don't really objectively “judge” jokes and instead are amused when they want to be. YouTubers playing together aren't that funny if you really dissect it, they just laugh at things a lot and if you're predisposed to the YouTubers then you will be entertained (it's like the laugh track in sitcoms, except the people laughing are people you know, and they at least give you a good excuse to laugh), laugh at jokes from their friends and even will laugh “for” (!) their loved ones even if the jokes were horrendous. On the other hand, they will reject otherwise good jokes if they don't feel like they want to be entertained (or at least so it seems).
Pornography - Taboo, pedophilia pron
Incest - Parent/Child might create power dynamics?
Penology - How it works with Utilitarianism, why we should still punish people despite it technically hurting people
Vigilantism - Reasons against (Seperation of power, ie. Judge-Jury-Executioner and that it is susceptible to absue (misguided moral compass, external influences); Bad people doing things and then calling it “vigilantism”; How governments would never approve of vigilantism for these reasons) and Reasons for (Insufficient justice system; bad justice system (ie. not prosecuting certain crimes because of flawed ideology); people's own moral compass (though this is a bad argument))

Gender - Make a “gender binary” section but write it entirely in 010101001 binary.
I assume that everyone wants the best world there possibly can be
Car - Favorite Car, Bull Bar, Cars in society and the industry

Gendering “Don't we have better problems?” = “The problem is too insignificant to deserve attention” to which I would respond “If you feel so”. Apparently there are quite a few people who care about it, and language is one of the many ways in which oppressive gender roles are hardcoded into our society. Removing them at the very least cannot and does not hurt.
Over-Apologization Distraction or virtue signalling method with mostly empty (almost insincere, as in they don't really care about it) apologies I have a hard time believing that they don't realize are unnecessary. Alternatively, an appeasement method (during conflict/stress).
Climate Change Talk about how climate change is a complicated topic and can generate results that are counterintuitive, like in the case of “Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current”. See https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1ojaql5/comment/nm1p835/
Abusive Parents - Abuse - Parenting
What parents give to their children, if they have been good parents, is not measured in money but in values, ideals and good memories. If, as a parent, all you can claim your child is being ungrateful for is the material things you've given them, then you haven't given them all that much to begin with.
Helping your child with their misaligned teeth very squarely rests in the “things you're obligated to do if you have the resources” area of parental responsibility.

On Trump accusing other countries of being mean to the USA: "But we continue to blame everybody else in the world that we designed and policed after World War II. We're the richest country in the world ever. We're not the world's victims. If we have inequalities in this country, that's on us. It's not a supply problem. It's not unfair trade for the most part. It's an investment and distribution problem. It's our [BLEEP] fault. And I'm not saying we can't make adjustments and renegotiate things, but it didn't have to be this reckless."
On Social Media: It's speech incentivized for engagement and profit. It's manipulated. [...] Social media is a machine designed to stimulate the reptilian parts of your brain that would otherwise beg you to ..go outside...!. It's like being impressed that casinos give out free food - it's not free."
