These expert opinions are built on the premise of a physical world as it is conceived of by humans, but they do not consider that meaning itself (which includes our perception of reality) is the essence of evolution of conscious beings and depends on more fundamental conditions than biological evolution. I argue that the conditions required for different species of conscious beings to perceive the same world and therefore one another include co-evolution, consisting in reciprocal communication through which meaning and perception are generated. https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/why-alien-life-forms-are-impossible
A couple of paraphrased/modified quotes, which resonate deeper than just the conflict they were originally referring to, including some conflicts in Australia:
‘What do you lack, brothers? Land? Look how much land we have. Freedom? So by hating each other we became more free?’
‘The main thing that the corporate media are busy with is preventing the awakening of good feelings and understanding between divided peoples.’

A posthumous question from Alexei Mozgovoy
If the US were to win the war in Ukraine, it is in their interest that all nationalistic Ukrainians should die in the conflict, as they would pose a persistent threat to US’ control.
If Russia were to win the war in Ukraine, it is in their interest that all nationalistic Ukrainians should die in the conflict, as they would pose a persistent threat to Russia’s control.
If some global entity controls both NATO and Russia and aims to de-nationalise and re-engineer the bread-basket of Europe, which also happens to be the land-bridge and the strategic pivot between Asia and Europe, they also need all nationalistic Ukrainians to die in the conflict, as they would pose a persistent threat to global control.
Ukrainians were aggressively indoctrinated into nationalism since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Consequently, continuing the meat-grinder in Ukraine is in the interest of all involved powers and will continue as long as possible… to the last Ukrainian.

This mockery of womanhood by males and the child-oriented symbolism in sexualised performances can only mean one thing: Anthony Albanese is PROUD of the global banking cartel extorting trillions $$$ by inflating the money supply and charging a de-facto tax on 97% of the money supply under the guise of interest. Tolerance of sexual orientation is radically different from PRIDE, which is glamourising behavioural and sexual abnormalities.
Legal enforcement of transgender-identity is logically inconsistent and therefore legally meaningless. https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/gender-identity-on-trial
“In order to work outside their area of concern, authorised workers must now have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by Monday 6 September.” (https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/news/Pages/20210827_01.aspx) Philip must be too traumatised to recall that “last year” most Australians were literally detained within their post code area (LGA), needing a valid excuse and mandatory vaccination to exit their LGA. Changing the name of government mandated local detention would not alter the practical effect, and we have already established that “15 minute cities” are not about bringing essential services closer to those who travel the most to obtain them.
The idea of “everything you need” is logically incomplete, depending for completeness on what you need it for. If the purpose of the “need” is limited to mere survival, then the Nazis have already worked out “everything you need” by means of experiments in the concentration camps. Since “15 minute cities” are premised on “everything you need” without specifying what you may need it for, then “everything” could be a lot less than everything you are accustomed to needing, plus road blocks to make sure you do not try to satisfy any unauthorised or environmentally “harmful” needs (like visiting friends in a different suburb without mandatory vaccination, or eating meat, or breathing). They are already saying that “you do not need” to eat meat, but insect proteins or 3D printed cancer cells will do you just fine.
SAFEWORK Australia could end the vaccine mandates instantly by prosecuting the relevant employers for coercing their employees to participate in a work-related activity where a percentage of them are expected to die as a result of the activity. This is a black and white violation of the existing workplace safety laws which prohibit the mandating of such activities in the workplace. The same applies to universities, since students who are subject to the mandates are harmed in the workplace of education and training providers.
ChatGPT business-model hypothesis: The primary function of freely accessible artificial intelligence (in exchange for your verified phone number) is not to give answers, but to record your questions.
In 2021 I wrote to federal and state agencies about workplace deaths caused by covid vaccination policies in workplaces. Both Safe Work Australia and Work Safe NSW claimed to have no jurisdiction over workplace safety issues or direct harm associated with vaccination policies. Would they claim no jurisdiction if the employer mandated any other potentially lethal pharmaceutical product on their workforce?
If the government did nothing wrong, it would have nothing to hide.
The highlighted claim is false. I personally know several people who did not want to get vaccinated but did it, after resisting as much as they could endure, because they were about to go bankrupt and would not be able to feed their kids. The article also omits be biggest, most critical piece of disinformation, which was the WHO’s definition of “Covid Deaths”, which intentionally misrepresented death with Covid (a positive PCR test) as deaths FROM Covid, and thus created the illusion of a global emergency. Another pieces of disinformation would be the denial of cheap, over-the-counter anti-malaria drugs as effective treatments for Covid; the recommended use of harmful intubation, Remdesivir and permanent sedation (Midazolam) of hospitalised patients causing them to be, in effect, euthanised. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/10-myths-told-by-covid-experts-now-debunked/news-story/d414984470291668356217f4b3fa1f9c
This study is already being cited in the mainstream media as proof that vaccine mandates had no effect on vaccination uptake, but this conclusion is misleading, since the present paper considers only one kind of a mandate (not the federally imposed employment mandates), which could be easily evaded in the studied cities. The author acknowledges that vaccine mandates in Europe and on the country level did cause a significantly higher uptake. The kind of mandates we had in Australia were radically stronger then city-level indoor mandates for going to museums or restaurants, which could be evaded by going to nearby places where mandates did not apply; this was not allowed either in EU or Australia. So why is the corporate media misrepresenting the results of this study as if it were applicable to all vaccine mandates everywhere? I suggest it is because this misleading conclusion implies that nobody was killed by the mandates because the mandates did not manage to coerce anybody to take the vaccine against their voluntary consent. It is their get out of jail card. https://www.mercatus.org/media/161606/download?attachment
On Disagreement
The mutual recognition of an ‘irresolvable disagreement’ presupposes a common framework for identifying and making sense of mutual disagreements, which includes the law of non-contradiction, and therefore a common and objective basis for rationally resolving the disagreement as a case of contradiction. Consequently, the premise of ‘irresolvable disagreement’ is false. That a disagreement remains unresolved does not imply that the disagreement is irresolvable, but that a disagreement exists (is mutually identified) implies that it is resolvable.
Adherence to the law of non-contradiction has the following logical consequences:

Digital Idenity is not YOUR identity
The claim that the ability to prove who you are is a “fundamental and universal human right” is absurd and false. It is false because it is not on the list of ratified human rights. It is absurd because there is no possible universal standard for expressing a “true” identity apart from just being yourself, which is trivially true for everyone and everything. Everything is alway only identical to itself (the Law of Identity), and any additional feature (like a number, microchip, tattoo etc is necessarily not you), nor is any part or feature of your body (like fingerprints or a retina scan) your identity. What the authors of the linked page are trying to assert is that there is a human right to assume a false identity, which is a very strange (insane) proposition. In short, a Digital or biometric ID is a false identity, a fundamental lie, a violation of the law of identity, therefore nonsense.

I asked OpenAI for the strongest argument against vaccine mandates. OpenAI initially responded with the vague argument that vaccine mandates could exacerbate social inequalities between the underprivileged and the privileged (due to unequal access to vaccines), so I questioned it explicitly about my published arguments. https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/openai-on-the-question-of-vaccine
