“Non-interference”: a convenient euphemism for “cowardice”

When innocent people (or even sentient beings of any other species) are suffering … and let’s just say in this particular hypothetical, there’s no issue at stake of any kind of karma … in other words, they’re innocent and have done nothing to deserve such suffering … you’d think the decent thing to do, would be to help … right?

Well … you’d think so … but apparently, according to a bunch of “new age” or “spiritual” type people I’ve met … apparently this suffering is perfectly OK, and it is more spiritual to leave them to their suffering, than to help.

My big secret: I never wanted to “save the world”

For those of you reading this who know me personally, and those others whom have tuned in since then … this post is me spilling the beans on something I really hadn’t told anyone … not this clearly anyway, and no more than 2 or 3 close friends … and it may come as a surprise to you.

The thing is, as passionate as I am about this, and as much as I sometimes say this is all I want to do in life … the truth is, I also resent very much being forced into the position where I have to, because all I ever really wanted to do growing up, was act, write, make / play games, and make films.

World “leaders” of business and government … what’s their excuse?

In the great tradition of insulting people … Ok, not people, arseholes … who basically need insulting (because they’re arseholes), I’m going to go even further out on a limb and ask a series of related questions that I think are long overdue (and you can bet your bottom dollar they’ll never be asked in mainstream media).

Business thinking: an attention span rivalled by any goldfish

I write a lot of articles that ridicule others … not to be mean or cruel, but to motivate them to question their beliefs; as all humans are motivated by pleasure and pain, hence I’m introducing an element of pain … ie – the evidence of their stupidity … because no one wants to not only look like a fool, but to be fundamentally proven to BE one.

Policy: where insanity, stupidity and ignorance, breed with corruption

Have you ever been on a customer service call with some company, whom have arguably already utterly failed by providing you with crap products which aren’t worth half what they’re priced at (even if they actually worked) … and as you explain the situation to someone who basically doesn’t care, it dawns on you they’re not going to do even a bare minimum level of reparation for the misdeeds on their part … THEN as you try to do their job for them, to provide a win-win outcome, you hear this word: “policy” … and basically, you might as well just hang up the call. Continue reading “Policy: where insanity, stupidity and ignorance, breed with corruption”

Hippies and corporate Think Tanks

I met a guy a while back now, from Northern NSW, but originally from the USA … a bit of a hippy, and was convinced he could heal me from my stress with an American Indian drum … which possibility I’m not entirely discounting … but here’s the thing: he explained to me during our extensive conversation that he used to work for a very large number of corporations, who basically paid him to figure out how people and governments would attempt to protect something they had a vested interest in destroying, and then they’d use the information he provided them, to help devise a strategy to destroy it for as much profit as possible.

Should I keep publishing?

A dilemma ran through my head as I was contemplating another article a few days ago:

  • Given the lack of significant support for what I’m doing;
  • Given the potential availability of support;
  • Given also the potential gamut of consequences for the planet, everyone and everything on it;
  • Can I therefore assume those with the resources to do so, refuse to support what they see as a threat?
  • Can I therefore assume they’ll only support what they can corrupt and control?
  • Should I therefore cease risking placing anymore information in their hands ..?
  • … and thus just allow the workd to fail?

Perhaps it is only after the failure of everything, that if somehow we survive, then people might really listen.

“New Economy”: invalidating the solution by protecting the problem

I understand that a lot of people either care (or claim to care) about the state of the world and where we’re headed … and many efforts are going in to “finding the solution” … but the thing you all have to understand is this:

  • IF you include the problem as part of your “solution”;
  • THEN – at some critical threshold – your solution will break.
