I am asking because we are becoming more convergent at the same time we are becoming more divergent. We have the power to build and destroy each other and ourselves. I want to know what we are doing today to ensure humanity exists for future generations at the same time the earth is changing/evolving.

*slap bass*

Whether it’s gun control or bicycle helmets, Australia’s Common Law leads to a duty of care. What would the world look like if this was adopted internationally?

I’ve not been hungry for days…

The need for humanity and human empathy underpins so much of what is going wrong in the world right now. Now perceived as a weakness to be overcome if right thinking is to be achieved. Others should care because we all wish for kindness and fairness in our lives.

How much is the mental health epidemic due to lack of meaning in contemporary society?
Why are there so many bored people resorting to (legal/illegal) drugs nowadays?
How can we expect people to think and make good decisions in times of crisis (eg.bushfire) when they have little experience of thinking and making decisions in every day life?
Individuals grow and develop when having the opportunity to work out problems with others.

And don’t say “humankind”, that’s no fun.

Conservatives react badly to facts that prove them wrong, and humanity is held back because of this.

Nobody is making any more land. The population is increasing. We only have one planet. Ownership is power. Power corrupts.

These things seem at odds, and unsustainable. There has to be a better way forward.

We are stuck in the biggest humanitarian crisis since WW2. There are wars all over the place and the world is in ruins. When will we get out of this mess? What realistically needs to be done to create peace in the Middle East and Africa and how much of the unrest is the fault of the rich Western countries?

The underpinnings of our civilisation are based on an untenable premise.
