    How do we the people restrain and control the greedy and power-hungry who try to lord over us? Murdoch, Trump, Abbott, Bush, Rinehart…

    If black is a “colour without colour”, why are black people referred to as “people of colour”?

    Light pollution, glare and light trespass are all easy environmental problems to fix. If we can’t (or won’t) fix this, then what chance do we have of reducing or reversing other environmental issues?

    What is the impact of conflating capitalism with democracy?

    What knowledge is the most useful?
