    Why are children’s illustrators not considered to be real artists

    Why are indigenous communities facing forced closure under the guise of sustainability, when communities such as the City of Casey are experiencing alarmingly high rates of family violence, and as a result, children in out of home care?

    This is important for the elimination of racism, violent behaviours, rates of imprisonment, and increased government transparency and ownership.

    How can we be assured that we don’t develop artificial intelligence to the point that some independent entity decides that we humans are THE problem and presses delete?
    3+

    AI engineers might be doing what engineers do, working in a reductionist way on a discrete part of a problem with the ethical contexts left to someone else. The commercial drive to develop better and better AI should make us all nervous unless we have absolute transparency, ‘commercial-in-confidence’ is not helpful here.

    Why are we so city-centric in Australia?
    9+

    I grew up in cities, but have lived in the provinces for over 20 years, and find it to be a refreshingly connected place to live. I rail against the snobbery of city folk towards ‘country folk’. We have just as many great ideas and cultural practises as cities do.

    All leaders of the developed world declare that they seek peace, not war. Why then do they continue to manufacture, market, and sell arms on a global scale? Are their brains missing something?
    27+

    The horrors of war are making the planet unliveable. Every decent human being wants it to end.

    Who am I?
    3+

    Because this question haunts me everyday. It matter to me because I’d like to know who I am.
    Because if others know who they are, they might do things differently which benefit them and others.
