Why don’t we have game centres for adults?
Sometimes adults get a little too serious and forget to have fun! I would like to see what happens to our work culture and society if game play is more available & mainstream for adults. It would be a great experiment to test the importance of play and creativity and how it correlates to innovation and new ideas for the Australian economy.
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).
Where does Kim Kardashian get her underwear?

The lyrics are the last thing that matter to me when I listen to a piece of music (if I can even understand them it’s a plus). But for others they seem to be the most important thing of all (weirdos). Why is this so? Probably it doesn’t matter – I’m just curious.

Asked by: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?
Is suffering undervalued in Australia given it’s capacity to change thinking and build character, in a person or a community?
As a first world country, Australians experience a high quality of life. Yet everybody suffers and hurts, and could our experience of suffering, through illness, abuse, loss, break-up, poverty, discrimination, fear etc be put into a different framework where it is recognised for what it can bring and enable, individually and on a bigger scale? The biggest national identities of white Australia seem to be based on and through hardship and suffering.
