A single, decisive indicator which reveals the true nature of a phenomenon. Can a gay man reasonably expect to survive unscathed in a particular country? Yes = administration of law and society is secular i.e. impartial and unbiased No = do no business with that country as secular values have not evolved. Biased, duplicitous andContinue reading “Litmus Test”
Woke
Identity politics replaces neutrality and universality with morality based on ethnic identity and emotive volatility. Identity politics has created new taboos, heresies, and rituals of exclusivity. Identity politics limits freedom of expression, neutral governance and reasoned disagreement. Identity politics ensures activists may silence any objection or criticism. 😱 So what is the difference between aContinue reading “Woke”
Silly, SILLY me!
I just had someone tell me that secular values are recent and fleeting, and that we will soon all be back under Christian jurisprudence. That is, unless, of course, we fail to protect ourselves from the current and more immediate forms of totalitarianism in our midst. I simply assumed that everyone knew what secularism isContinue reading “Silly, SILLY me!”
Freedom
We have had a lot of this for decades in the West and most western countries extend this to guests and visitors as the default position. But what does ‘freedom’ mean and how do we know what its limits are? And how do we defend it? Even though our freedom in Australia was just shotContinue reading “Freedom”
Bondi
So here we have a country without leadership. For decades as successive liberal politicians have neither led nor been passive, Australia has gradually become ‘the most successful multicultural nation on Earth’.

Rescued… At Last!
Never thought of myself as needing rescuing, until a few months ago. One day I read, ‘Uranus entering your Second House indicates a man will come into your life and change it forever.’ I really do not like being told what to do and part of that is my aversion to using Tarot cards orContinue reading “Rescued… At Last!”
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time? If my mind stayed clear and did not turn into sludge, as it usually does by 3am, I would study, write, research, establish good chats with people around the planet, and continue torturing ChatGTP to provide unbiased and practicable responses.
