One of the most infamous examples was the Lindy Chamberlain case and I noticed other such cases also. I wonder how many lives have been ruined because public opinion, along with the media are happy to make ill-informed judgements.

Because I wonder where ‘thought’ originates from and where our consciousness goes when we die. It matters because the greater awareness we have of ourselves the greater ability we have to improve ourselves.

It confused me since I can think independently.

Sometimes adults get a little too serious and forget to have fun! I would like to see what happens to our work culture and society if game play is more available & mainstream for adults. It would be a great experiment to test the importance of play and creativity and how it correlates to innovation and new ideas for the Australian economy.

Viewed from an economic perspective, does the arts suffer from something similar to the military-industrial complex, minus the extreme violence? It seems like everyone in the arts think that more funding will fix all our problems. I was thinking of this in the light of ever growing artistic output and too much choice that the inner city life has to offer, and the idea that art is like violence in the sense that it will continue to be practiced impulsively by humans regardless of funding. To me, what seems to motivate reasonable decisions and priorities as governments struggle to allocate resources justly is the education and learning environment people have access to rather than the size of our arts or “defence” budget.

I think spoken word, performance poetry and poetry slam has underrated potential that I want to see thrive in Australia’s literary landscape.

Democracy cannot thrive without transparency. Secrecy undermines grass roots participation in affairs that directly affect them.

We love dogs for their loyalty, fluffiness and ability to connect, yet we also know that pigs are extremely intelligent, sociable and physically huggable. How can we hug one and eat another? Why is it that some animals are friends and others food?

Sick of seeing a difference in how I am treated.

If we all tapped away at pianos rather than computers, maybe we’d all be happier.

Everyone has an opinion on this, and many other sex-related topics. I’d like to know the answer.

I wonder how much the western world’s pursuit for economic growth, personal wealth and status ultimately has an impact on our levels of happiness, mental illness and capacity to generally have little empathy for others, even just on a day-to-day level between mates. Or is this just human nature? Are we fundamentally greedy bastards?
