Suppression of information is a means of maintaining power structures. Society prefers to pretend we all conform to an imagined standard rather than accept its own diverse nature.

Because I’ve never heard a satisfactory answer.

I am fascinated by individuals’ inability/unwillingness to take full responsibility for their choices, especially when it comes to looking after themselves.

Our recent political leaders are too busy fighting egos, within their own parties as well as the opposition’s, to get down and make some inspired choices for the future of Australians. There’s no long term planning because of all the navel-gazing and it’s embarrassing! Australia could be a world leader with the great minds we have in this country, and the freedom to voice ideas, and yet none of this seems to float to the top, where the decisions get made.

If someone steals something they are arrested but if someone sends in troupes under dubious pretence killing thousands of civilians, ruining the lives of their own combatants why is it that they just float off to a life of ease? Shouldn’t high office hold high accountability. There must be factors that give them immunity. What are they?

Because I believe that talking about death can be life-changing and life-affirming.

Because I think that our society promotes the myth of happiness and that more will do it.

It matters because there does appear to be the collective wisdom to consider the impacts

People are increasingly concerned that it does not matter who you vote for, it often does not change anything. There is a crisis of satisfactory leadership throughout the world, where vested interests control things behind the scenes rather than governments, eg. Wolfgang Scheuble: ‘Elections change nothing.’
