Capitalism vs Communism

I had an argument with a lecturer earlier this week. Marx was a very bearded fellow who had many of the works ascribed to him written by his wife, I was informed. The key point of those works was to end exploitation of the worker by removing ownership of factories from non-workers and only letContinue reading “Capitalism vs Communism”

Death

You fear death? Why? In my explorations of beliefs, I have come across many similarities of this universe. The way visible light only happens within such a small range of frequencies, the way subatomic particles balance just so within various forces creating existence, and the poignant yet fleeting connection between creatures resulting in regeneration. TheContinue reading “Death”

Fulcrum

This Saturday, Australia votes between neoliberalism and survival. I’m not sure this has ever happened in Australia before. Perhaps the closest we came was in 1899 when the rich white men decided to federate, yet that was a choice of keeping Australia’s wealth within their grasp rather than a point of survival. The National, LiberalContinue reading “Fulcrum”

Morality

Last year while studying at a Christian-infested university, one of the devout admonished me for logically constructing ‘morals’ as a distinct and separate idea from ‘theism’. He was uncomfortable that I had provided verifiable and immediately accessible evidence that morals do not stem from religions, much less his and the other students’. Despite his failedContinue reading “Morality”

Australian Shame

I’m becoming more and more certain as I engage in my second degree that Australia, the white side of the society, is deeply ashamed of itself and rightly so. This would explain the way many Australians are assimilating into American culture: by divesting themselves of their brutal and hypocritical past and aligning themselves with theContinue reading “Australian Shame”

Wishful Thinking

‘Oh, it was meant to be.’‘It was destiny.’‘It happened according to fate.’ Or, worst of all:‘It is God’s will.’ In a conversation about the types of people ‘we bring into our lives’, I realised that this phrase is loaded with ignorance. Ignorance of psychology and ignorance of social identification.  Earlier, I was accused of ‘choosing’Continue reading “Wishful Thinking”

Naturally Sexual

Below are analysed some issues regarding sexuality. Off the top of my head, there are many studies from psychology, sociology, neurology and et cetera which clearly indicate that sexuality can not be categorised as only heterosexual or homosexual: gender and sexuality and identity interact and form a tapestry of human experience.  There are many religionsContinue reading “Naturally Sexual”

Creative Professional

I’ve always considered myself to be creative, but until 2019, I never considered becoming a creative professional. And it wasn’t until 2021 that I began investing in the education relevant to supporting this endeavour. I’ve applied my creative skills in landscape gardening, bicycle and home repairs, and teaching English as a second language, but somehowContinue reading “Creative Professional”
