    Is ‘being wild’ necessary for human evolution?
    2+

    It seems as though more and more of us live a life of conformity and order, and few now life a live of ‘being wild’; of throwing caution to the wind; of taking a chance to follow their dream; to embark on an adventure. What is this doing to our evolution as a species? Where will humanity be in a hundred, a thousand years if we give up ‘being wild’ because our fears prevent us foresaking the safe places?

    Why is the internet such a horrible place, and what can we do about it?
    12+

    I guess we once thought of the internet as having some sort of liberating potential, but today it’s pretty clear that, although we can’t live without it, it’s a pretty horrible place (especially if you’re not a straight white guy). When was the last time you saw a woman being harassed by an egg-man on Twitter, and how can we make sure it stops happening?

    In an inclusive society will we ditch the career ladder and make all employment pathways accessible?
    3+

    We need more people with disabilities employed as leaders. We need flexible workplaces that don’t just reward people based on the amount of hours they can work. We need deeper understanding in recruitment processes to why not everyone has a linear career path or the opportunity for any kind of regular employment.

    I have always been called an expat, not an immigrant. But shouldn’t that be the same thing?

    If science is the search for truth, why is innovation suppressed in peer review?
    7+

    It is important to me because the search for truth has been limited by this process that says we must rely upon outdated theories of others. This process limits creative thought and tells us how to view the world. It is nothing less than boundaries upon subjective experience of the world. People should question this because it limits the perception of truth.

    Why don’t we play more?
    7+

    Mostly because it’s fun, but I wonder about the benefits of unstructured, inclusive and spontaneous activities that allow people to experience themselves without purpose.

    How do we take our communities back from the control of corporate shills and sociopaths without violence?
    10+

    Behind every story in the media that makes me want to cry I can trace the instigating issue to greed and lust for power/control by entities (corps and gov) and individuals who seem classically sociopathic. The way we have decided to perceive success seems to lead inevitably to the ones most lacking in morals, ethics or care for others to be hailed as leaders. I am tired of the cruelty. I would like to see what we could achieve if kindness and social wellbeing were the goal instead of greed.

    Why are we letting Marketing “Rule the World”?
    24+

    People who travel on Melbourne trains are now “customers”, we’re no longer “passengers”. At many service organisations, people with a disability are no longer “clients”, they are “customers”. The change of language, driven by Marketing, is leading to many problems.

    We should all ask ourselves this question, and be spurred into passionately acting on the answer. Life on earth—and not just human life—depends on it. Literally your and our collective future is at stake.
