    When will the psychiatric regime end?
    5+

    When humanity becomes humane, starts listening to people, rather than propaganda, regimes that torture and control will be exposed and stopped. The psychiatric regime has been going on for over 200 in various countries, enabling genital mutilation on women who opposed their husbands, LSD testing in the 1960s, and various torturous procedures.
    The people forcefully tested with insulin shock and LSD, haven’t received compensation, because our government declares the medical profession were allowed to torture people that way in the 1960s & 70s.
    The people who are being currently subjected to torture by the psychiatric regime, are also unlikely to receive compensation, unless there is wide-spread condemnation for the psychiatric procedures forcefully done in our government’s name on innocent people as young as two and as old as people can be. Electroshock used on 4 year olds, pills fed daily to tranquilise two year olds. Not to mention what they do to people in their prime.
    It is physically obvious what psychiatric torture does to people. It must be stopped.
    How dare anyone think our country is a democracy when this is going on. How dare the organisations of festivals censor psychiatric survivors who speak out because of sponsorship deals. How dare the Australian people be so unaware of what is happening to their citizens.
    The question is when? The answer should be now.

    How is it possible to be incredibly happy and incredibly sad at the same time?
    11+

    How is it that humans can experience such strong, conflicting, emotions at once? Does everyone experience this? Is it possible to pay attention to just one?

    I am quite interested in the metaphysics of physics and in particular time.

    What is better, freedom or equality?
    10+

    I am asking this because so many people use freedom without using equality, and we have lost effective ways of raising the tensions between them. But this tension is the essence of politics.

    What are the practical, everyday benefits we might experience living in a ‘more agile’ Australia?
    1+

    Political rhetoric seldom translates easily into discernible difference at the individual level. When Malcolm Turnbull proposes an increasingly ‘agile’ Australia, what real difference will this occasion in our 21st-century, day-to-day lives?

    what does it mean to be ‘wild’ in an urban world?
    7+

    Modern existence is tethered to urban environments, but many aspects of human nature don’t fall in neat urban planned lines; whilst activities and initiatives exist to give life to the city, what would true urban freedom, the capacity to grow uncontrolled or unrestrained mean for health and happiness?

    Who gets to decide?

    Like, when there is more than one opinion at play… and our beliefs are based on what we feel to be intuitive truths, how the hell do we make a decision? Is it just power?

    Will we ever evolve to a place where we make decisions, not just on the financial and economic benefit but for “The Greater Good” of the majority not just the powerful and financially wealthy ?

    Because, having watched as, at least those in the West, have turned away from the principles offered by the Ten Commandments and instead adopted the principles of The Seven Deadly Sins (with great enthusiasm I might add) we seem to be losing our humanity. Social justice is fading away and social depression and hopelessness is its replacement. Why does it matter to me? I guess because I actually care about people and it makes me angry and sad to see us destroying, not just the planet, but ourselves. I guess it’s the “no man is an Island…” and “Do unto others” Once we forget those, what do we become – non humans? Who says “history never repeats” they were nuts !
