Every day we make choices—some loud and public, others quiet and unnoticed. But what if we paused to examine those choices not just for what they say—but for what they reveal?
At The Library, we believe in conversations that matter. Conversations that crack open the surface and let light into the deeper parts of who we are. That’s why we’ve created The Daily OR—a simple question, every day, offering two paths. Not to pick sides, but to start something deeper.
Here’s a peek at this week’s questions, beginning Monday, April 14th—and the hidden dimensions they ask us to explore:
Monday | Philosophy & Psychology
People are good OR People are selfish
This isn’t just optimism vs. cynicism—it’s a mirror to how we experience the world. Do you believe people are inherently wired for connection, or survival? Your answer might reflect how you handle trust, intimacy, and even risk. Do you lead with openness—or caution? Whichever way you lean, the real question is: how has your belief shaped your relationships?
Tuesday | Arts & Recreation
Photography as storytelling OR Photography as pure art
Some see the camera as a window; others, as a canvas. If you value the narrative—the moments captured, the voices preserved—you might lean toward connection, memory, empathy. If you see photography as aesthetic, abstract, a play of light and form, perhaps you’re drawn to interpretation, sensation, introspection. What does your eye look for?
Wednesday | Literature
Value diverse perspectives in literature OR Prefer familiar cultural narratives
Do you read to see the world—or to understand yourself better? Choosing diversity signals a hunger for challenge, nuance, and new frames of reference. Preferring the familiar might reflect a grounding in heritage, identity, or emotional resonance. There’s no right answer—just a deeper one.
Thursday | Place
Working in a big city OR Working from a remote cabin
City life promises energy, opportunity, networks. Cabin life whispers solitude, focus, simplicity. This choice taps into how we process stimulation and meaning: externally through interaction, or internally through introspection. Are you fed by movement—or stillness?
Friday | Food & Drink
Organic and ethical OR Affordable and accessible
Your food choices reflect more than taste—they reveal values. Do you prioritize sustainability, even at a cost? Or is equity and access the moral line you won’t cross? This question isn’t just about groceries—it’s about what you believe a fair world looks like.
Saturday | Technology
Automation is progress OR Automation is a threat
Do you see machines as partners or rivals? This choice reveals your relationship with control, trust, and the future. Do you welcome change—or worry what we’ll lose? Underneath the surface lies a conversation about purpose, labor, and even humanity itself.
Sunday | History & Geography
Ancient Greece OR Medieval Europe
A mythic democracy or a feudal tapestry? Rational inquiry or spiritual ritual? Your historical lean might tell us how you think about legacy, governance, art, and the role of the individual. What kind of story about the past speaks most to your present?
These aren’t just fun thought experiments—they’re invitations. To reflect. To share. To listen.
At The Library, we use these questions to open up space for meaningful conversation. They’re daily sparks that lead to surprising revelations, quiet truths, and unexpected connections.
If you’re someone who wants more than small talk—who wants to meet people not just through what they do, but through who they are—then maybe it’s time to join us.
