Some Questions

National Geographic images make me want to be a scientist. for all the reading/talking about science, I don't do much science

in the sense of discovering new things about the world
I learn things, but that is particular to me. most of what I have learned was discovered by someone else.

Computer science is the odd one out among the things we call science. it is creating - - unclear if discovering, but I suspect not.
Actually I Don't Know
but if I'm a computer scientist, I must create in that field... algorithms, theorems, methodologies, structures

All that is abstract, yet so practical,, paradoxically so, as we use these machines every day. there is so much "science" going on behind the scenes to create/discover the abstract structures that allow humans to better communicate with & manipulate the machine (programming languages & paradigms & databases & compilers...) so

so maybe a question could begin a scientific endeavor, so

• so is computer science a science or not?
• could I ever contribute to it?
• & is math created or discovered?
• will science ever end?
• what would most fulfill me?
• will people always need in-person interaction?
• will there ever be an unbreakable system?
• what is the role of money?
• will people always have to work?
• how long will I live?
• could I learn how to dream better?
• will there always be governments?
• will there always be cognitive fallacies?
• will humans ever permanently leave earth?
• what are the consequences of removing selective pressure from humans?
• could I make genuinely great art?
• will humans overcome tribalism?
• when will food be automatic and free?
• where should I live?
• where do I want to live?
• should I try to leave a lasting impact/do something "important"?
• am I capable of that?
• is that even definable?
• how can one waste no time?
• how much of what we think we know about history is actually right?
• just how immutable are one's immutable characteristics?
• how can I learn to be a wizardly hacker?
