For the purpose of this motion, a “theory of everything” is a scientific formula that accurately explains every aspect of reality. It would solve all existing problems of science (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the inconsistency between quantum mechanics and general relativity, etc.) It would therefore fully confirm determinism and disprove the existence of human free will by explaining the scientific origin of all human subjective experience and self-consciousness.

Musical Theatre International (MTI) is a prominent licensing agency that sells the rights for local theatres and production companies to put on well-known Broadway shows. When you are granted a license to perform a specific show by MTI, you must perform the show "as is," or how it was written by its original playwright. Local theatres typically do not have the rights to make changes or deletions to the script, dialogue, characters, plotlines, etc. Changes by local productions could be considered

On March 2018, Pope Francis gave an interview to Italian journalist Eugenio Scalfari. Within this interview, the pope is quoted to claim that Hell did not exist, stating that “They (bad people) are not punished. Those who repent obtain God’s forgiveness and take their place among the ranks of those who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot be forgiven disappear. A hell doesn’t exist, the disappearance of sinning souls exists.” The Pope and the Vatican later claimed that this quote did not occur, and that it was not a faithful rendering of the conversation the Pope had with Scalfari. This position exists in sharp contrast to the majority of Catholic officials (e.g. Cardinals, bishops, etc.), who strongly believe in the existence of Hell. In Catholic dogma, an 'ex cathedra' declaration (literally 'from the throne') made by the Pope establishes a moral or doctrinal truth that is infallible and must be believed by all Catholics.

In 2019, members of ECOWAS announced plans to create a common currency, called the “Eco”.
