Here are two examples of how to begin your ChatGPT-HMAS session, one simple and one more intellectual:

My boss rejects all my initiatives to make my work easier and improve the end result — what can I do?

How can we see conflicts or contradictions not as errors to be eliminated, but as opportunities to create new knowledge and insights?

After the short introduction, you'll find more examples under Simple Hopeless Questions and Starters from a Dynamic Perspective. 

 

How to Begin Using MHAS

You can start with whatever you wish, of course. But to truly unleash the full power of ChatGPT-MHAS, consider starting by asking questions in a Dynamic way — questions that are open-ended and exploratory.

In our culture, we’re trained to think that questions must at once lead to a final, Static answer.

MHAS helps you explore problems or situations that feel impossible to solve by using Reason and the Dynamic process of Dialogue to understand them, rather than jumping straight to solutions. Instead of forcing answers, you’ll learn to handle uncertainty, discovering new insights and ideas as you explore.

In MHAS lingo, this is: identify How It Is, clarify What We Want, and create a bridge over the gap with What We Can Do.

Here are examples of how to begin your ChatGPT-MHAS session. First, you’ll find Simple Hopeless Questions, followed by Starters From a Dynamic Perspective.

Simple Hopeless Questions

My boss rejects all my initiatives to make my work easier and improve the end result — what can I do?

Why is our culture ruled by violence, even when we claim to want peace?

Why is the political elite uninterested in solving the issues that matter to most people?

I want to make a career change, but I’m afraid of what others will think — how can I move past this?

Why do people stay in unhealthy relationships even when they know it's bad for them?

I keep procrastinating on my projects, but I know I’m not lazy — what’s really going on?

Why does society value competition over cooperation when we all depend on each other?

I feel overwhelmed with responsibilities, but why do I still resist asking for help?

How can we balance progress with preserving tradition, when both seem to be in constant conflict?

I feel stuck in my personal growth, as if I’ve reached a dead end — what new perspectives could help me break through?

Starters From a Dynamic Perspective

How can we see conflicts or contradictions not as errors to be eliminated, but as opportunities to create new knowledge and insights?

How can we discuss creating knowledge in a world that only values what already exists and treats everything else as mystical?

How can we challenge the idea that our behaviours are solely determined by external forces, and explore how we can shape our own futures?

What if we redefined perfectionism as progress and embraced mistakes as part of creation?

How can we explain to those in a Static culture that the world is Dynamic, not fixed?

How can we show that humans are not bound by the zero-sum mindset, where one person’s gain is another’s loss?

How can we understand that the relationships between ideas, people, and systems are always evolving, and we can shape that evolution?

How do we start seeing time as fluid and ever-evolving, rather than fixed and linear?

Why It Works

Instead of relying on static, ready-made solutions, MHAS opens up Dynamic space for discovery.

This approach allows you to embrace contradictions and take small steps forward, knowing that insights will emerge over time.

By starting with open-ended questions, you create the foundation for growth, creativity, and personal exploration — leaving behind the need for rigid, one-size-fits-all answers.

Practical Takeaways

Even seemingly hopeless problems are opportunities for deeper understanding and creative growth.

Reason is your tool for discovery. It guides you through uncertainty and turns it into an opportunity to build understanding.

Logic and the demand for quick, Static decisions block this process — preventing you from seeing new possibilities and insights. MHAS uses Dialogue as a Dynamic process to explore and discover answers, not rush to pre-defined solutions.

Sit with uncertainty rather than rushing to find immediate solutions. Over time, insights will emerge naturally.

Take small, meaningful actions based on what you learn, not on the need to “fix” things quickly. Every step forward uncovers new layers of insight.
