- Comment on ‘We’re living in an Orwellian nightmare’: Grace Tame calls Anthony Albanese a ‘coward’ in scathing critique 21 hours ago:
I’ve only recently, really looked deeply into politics, and I may be back propagating my current understanding in an inconsistent manner, but I can’t identify a single entity who has elevated to the level of candidate and is worthy of voting for.
The state of politics in Australia has become so thoroughly polluted that one must intrinsically be irreconcilably compromised to participate, which leaves the only justifiable path being to vote for the least bad option, if one can be gleaned in time.

For the past 3 decades, basically the entire span of my adult life, I’ve been unable to identify any candidate worthy of actively voting for, and the only memorable specimens have been clowns I’ve needed to vote against.
This country chose to gave Howard 4 fucking terms to undermine and obliterate the Australian social fabric, and no one since has had the cognitive calibre required to correct his debasement.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

4320p video makes as much sense as 96kHz audio. Both have a legitimate role in capture and creation, but a vanishingly minuscule role at the point of playback and consumption.

- Comment on It's barely a science. 1 month ago:
Another way I often frame my perspective on this is:
Economics is the social control mechanism that filled the void vacated by religion after the Enlightenment.
Mythology was replaced with finance.
… Churches with banks.
… Clergy with economists.
… God with GDP.I don’t see either as inherently problematic systems, but their lack of rigorous foundational attachment to reality informs my argument that they should be applied as subservient tools, as opposed to their current role as dominant, dictatorial weapons.

A distinction without a difference. Lobbying and propaganda are basically the prophesizing and scripture of politics.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 1 month ago:
Economics, as an intellectual discipline, is closer to theology than physics. Its power is proportional to the belief it commands.
Finance is an arbitrary subset of mathematics, cherry picked to retroactively support a given economic model, and applied as its supporting mythology.
It’s entirely imaginary, which means alternatives are only ever a conjuring away.
