The beginning of this article is interesting. If I was from the distant future, maybe I'd ask these questions followed by the answers I'm expecting from 2017:

Q: Why are people still working? A: You need to work to live.

Q: Why do men and women appear so different? A: They are biologically very different.

Q: Why are people trying to increase, rather than decrease, the amount of jobs to be done by humans? A: Idiot, clearly we need more jobs, otherwise everyone will be poor!

Q: Why are people waiting for signs and lights in metal cages with wheels? A: Those wheels in metal cages are one of our most prolific forms of transportation right now.

Q: Why are people eating other animals? A: Who doesn't, meat is tasty!

Q: Why do people have different skin color? A: You are racist.

Q: Why are some people so round? A: Are you making fun of fat people?

Q: Why are some people in a rolling chair all of the time? A: Some people are born with disabilities or break bones.

Q: Why are people still cutting other people open to fix them? A: How else do you stop internal bleeding and remove tumors?

Q: Why do 51 people decide what happens to 100 people instead of 1 person deciding what happens to 1 person? A: Ever heard of democracy, (unfortunately) the most fair system ever created to date by our founding fathers (who also owned tons of human slaves)?

Q: What is a border and how come I can't see it? A: Ever heard of the nation state? You're already subject to it just by being here. Didn't anyone tell you that?

Q: Why do people get thrown in cages for misbehaving? A: What else would we do with misfits and dangerous people?

Putting in hypothetical answers displays your biases. Better to collect questions and accept that reality is complicated enough that simple answers do not work in general and often on average too.
