Furious and frustrated, the anger must be suppressed. Attacking those responsible for capitalism and the wealthy getting wealthier may only further reduce our freedom. Lashing out at the ignorant does not end their ignorance. Self-harm achieves a certain validation but an inconsequential one. ‘May as well end it all.’ I’ve often been in this spaceContinue reading “Resolved Depression”

Philosophy of life and death.
Books
I’m motivated by people’s responses. My mind exploded with new possibilities for making a better world because I read Foundation. The principles of using science and human understanding to map the fall of a civilisation became tangible. This is how we protect the world, the universe, each other. I was only 17. I knew then I wouldContinue reading “Books”
Who Are We?
Theory: our identities are a result of the ideas of our society. Social Identity Theory is the psychology of how each of us sees a group which or a leader of a group who we connect with. How we know what and who we are looking at is determined by the values we grow upContinue reading “Who Are We?”
Nationalism
Australia has not declared independence from the British Crown. Over the past 25 years, our political upper class has rejected ancient Australian’s continuous pleas for policy to reflect the Mabo Case No. 2 in 1992 and the High Court Ruling supporting the Native Title Act 1993. Our society has been significantly repurposed for American consumerismContinue reading “Nationalism”
Scientist, please!
Exasperation with communicative foibles. Plants evolved the ability to turn sunlight into energy.Birds created the ability to fly.Reptiles exceeded amphibians by inventing tough, water-proof skin. These three statements are 100% false. Let’s scrutinise them! The topic is genetic mutation resulting in various adaptations. There are uncountable mutations which have happened over the eons but didContinue reading “Scientist, please!”
Ethnicity
Racism is a fundamental component of human socialisation. I believe it is homo sapiens’ psychological version of biology’s differentiation of species. A eucalyptus does not sexually interact with wattles, just as bees do not with flies: differentiation results from evolution and results in diversity. Yet eugenics, such as cross-breeding and splicing, has resulted in GreatContinue reading “Ethnicity”
Invisible Religions
Reviewing an academic study on identity, I am struck at how social and psychological effects are well documented. Queer Theory has done much to explore the nature of ‘identity’ and the scientific process has investigated the content of what it means to be ‘male’ or ‘female’, gender fluidity and how identity is as much aContinue reading “Invisible Religions”
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”
