Asked by:Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
How can we change governments to plan for the future (educationally and economically), not just the next election? Who gets this right?
Infrastructure of all kinds (energy, transport) city planning, education and training (tafe especially) and job market changes seem to catch Australian governments asleep at the wheel. We seem to be responding to change, not preparing for it
Asked by:The absence of integrity has pervaded every part of society. How do we inspire and infuse integrity, from here on?
Lack of integrity has led to self-interest before social interest. As a species, if we continue we will obliterate ourselves and earth. This includes endless personal consumption, regardless of the environmental impact to the world, money before medical care, power and glory of national leaders before a love of and duty to their people, country and the world. Extreme poverty can be truly alleviated if world leaders would work together. War works, while the arsenal is manufactured by countries without integrity. Banks make gluttonous profits, while so many slave over a mortgage all their lives. Those born with the innate capacity of cognitive brilliance, who become scientists, leaders, inventors, business achievers, should be the carers of those with much less ability. How do we inspire and deliver integrity again?
Is it more important to focus on the present (enjoying the moment), future (achieving goals) or past (learning from mistakes)?
Asked by:What are the ethical and environmental issues around lab grown meat, for example, in the future can I still be a vegetarian if I eat “in vitro meat”?
Labs around the world are developing lab grown meats. This will change industries related to animal consumption like farming, live export, as well as impacting energy, consumption, and world hunger. The development of this meat is happening now but the public conversation has yet to begin. Let’s start now!
Asked by:How would your life be different, if you were afraid of nothing?
Asked by:What is an achievable model of an ethical life?
I’m fascinated by moral integrity, greed and art. I also have mixed feelings about didacticism, especially in art. My question stems from a recent ethics forum centred on Art and Ethics where an esteemed ethicist provoked the audience with the statement that the only ethical art was one that instructed or commented on Climate Change (and/or social inequality).
Why does being born in Australia leave some people feeling lucky, and others feeling entitled?
Asked by:What’s the point of the relentless self-obsession that social media fosters?
Why is there still such a profound gender wage gap?
Why do I feel scared?
Because life is beautiful… my part in it is small… what is there to fear?
