The final episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation is revered by us groupies as one of the finest pieces of science fiction ever created. I have re-watched this episode for decades and still find lovely useful nuggets of insight. As a case in point, let me give you some background… Science fiction is theContinue reading “All Good Things…”

36º Winter Day
Confusion Japan summer Australia winter Northern hemisphere winter no not winter August in Australia Winter Winter 36º Flat Earth, capitalism won, democracy is dead, there’s no such thing as climate change.
The Basis of All Reality
The nature of reality just might be nature.
The State
I’ve been trying to define ‘corruption’. This word is often used to determine whether something is good or bad. For example until the 1990s in Australia, ‘conflict of interest’ was ‘corruption’ and ‘bad’. Where a politician had a business, this was a conflict of interest in making decisions to protect citizens and improving business growth.Continue reading “The State”
ChatGTP vs Me on Climate Change
I was quizzing the AI about the research and observations I’ve done over the past decade. I’m impressed that they were so pointedly validated by an AI on the net and horrified that I was right. After outlining the issue of neoliberalism and the definitions of a healthy society as per the French Revolution philosophers,Continue reading “ChatGTP vs Me on Climate Change”

What is the cost of society? I just had an awkward interaction with someone from the wanna-be affluent section of society who used a variety of avoidance and personal blame techniques to counter my argument that some societies are healthier for a larger majority of their citizens than Australia is. This is an obvious factContinue reading “The Price isn’t Right”

It is where politicians are motivated to help businesses enhance profits and also where people are motivated to view themselves as profit enhancers to private business. With this worldview, makingContinue reading “2024 won’t be 1984”
Currently Known As McCaskie Park
How can it be so? You wouldn’t believe it if you’d not seen it with your own eyes. There’s no way I’d ever have thought it possible. These creatures, they’re not quite the same, although there’s no reason why they can’t be. It was a while ago, now, when their type first arrived. They wereContinue reading “Currently Known As McCaskie Park”
Homo Sapiens
What is ‘real’? Over the past couple of years, I’ve been attempting to verify what ‘real’ is. The seeds of this drive started years ago teaching modals and trying to clearly explain what they are, especially as opposed to the future tense. For example, I will go shopping tomorrow vs I would go shopping tomorrowContinue reading “Homo Sapiens”
