Humanity is one because Truth is one. Reason unites us. Deliberate in good faith even with madmen and tyrants… and the Good will follow.

Being immersed from birth in a culture/tradition results in a great ‘sense’ of familiarity, but it is not coextensive with the capacity to generate meaning. Echoing the same behaviours for thousands of years may feel like a profound connection, but it is only involuntary conditioning; even animals can do it. The distinguishing property of rational consciousness over animality is the capacity to begin from incompatible states of conditioning, develop a common language, resolve irrational/inconsistent elements by utilising the universal laws of logic, and generate common meaning.
The preoccupation with race or breeding rather than creation of meaning is a symptom of diminishing consciousness. The integrity of consciousness is determined by the consistency of reflexive relations with all rational beings.
If 15 minute cities were not about public containment they would not need 15 minute boundaries, but only an open grid of services.
BREAKING NEWS: Pfizer granted emergency use authorisation for a ‘vaccine’ vaccine, claimed to be 95% effective at preventing vaccine induced injuries, illness or death. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla stressed the importance of being vaccinated with this revolutionary formula before getting vaccinated for anything else, emphasising the recent spike in excess mortality after the unprotected use of Covid vaccines.
As the invention of the digital calculator caused a rapid decline in arithmetic competency, the invention of Generative AI (ChatGPT) is likely to cause a rapid decline in the capacity to research and think.
The irony of a person who gets all their ‘facts’ from the TV accusing others of ignorance for using Google to verify those facts.
We DO know what causes these errors: uncontrolled or intentional violations of the fundamental laws of logic. This exhausts the logical possibilities. The above quote comes from an article by Henry Kissinger et al. Echoing the message of his doctoral thesis written some 65 years ago, Kissinger emphasises that “Global harmonization will need to emerge either by perception or by catastrophe, as Immanuel Kant predicted three centuries ago.” On this point I agree. https://www.henryakissinger.com/articles/chatgpt-heralds-an-intellectual-revolution/
There can be no equality between Right and Wrong. There can be no unity between the objective laws of logic and their violations, between truth and falsity, sense and nonsense. That everyone has the same fundamental rights does not entail that everyone is equal, let alone that every preference or idea is equal in validity or value.

Privacy, anonymity and secrecy protect us from the wrongdoings of others, but these also limits the scope of social participation, so it is up to us to determine the right balance of these variables.

Integrity always wins. Dragons always perish.
BREAKING NEWS: Nazis gather on the lawns of Buckingham Palace to show support for whatever cause the WEF urgently needs to discredit. Nevertheless, some experts in social engineering argue that hiring Nazi extras to “support” your adversary’s cause is unlikely to discredit them since ‘having Nazis on one’s side’ is not logically equivalent to ‘being on the side of Nazis’. Moreover, this strategy could backfire if the activists who use the slogan ‘You have Nazis on your side’ happen to support nativist supremacism, which is the core feature of (actual) Nazi ideology.
Looks like the drug cartel is moving their money elsewhere. I wonder what spooked them.
Every violation of the laws of sense creates a hole in consciousness, a space empty of meaning, so one could say that madness/irrationality is not a state of the Self but rather a state of the absense of Self, a pocket of unconsciousness within consciousness. It can be integrated into the Self by resolving its contradictions, thereby raising the level of consciousness to a new level, or it will work to undermine the integrity/wholeness of the Self, subverting our intentions, distorting our aims. Perhaps the best symbolic motif for this absense is ‘demon’. Every aspect of consciousness we abandon to nonsense becomes a province that is ripe for possession by another.
Nativist supremacism is the essence of Nazi ideology.

A “counter-protest” is by definition Not a Protest, but the regime itself.
On the conflict between Dr Bay and the Plaintiffs in Parry v Secretary, Department of Health [2023] HCA 9

Dr Bay sought leave of the court to intervene in this case for the following reasons: https://qpp.life/babies The Plaintiff’s solicitor argued, countering Dr Bay’s concerns, that the new standing category applies only to administrative law and not to private persons (https://t.iss.one/c/1564420715/290787). I was under the impression that this kind of standing already existed, since green groups have taken the government to the Supreme Court for their logging practices, apparently using the public interest standing (without any injured party), so I do not see what the allegedly novel aspect is.

Based on the explanation by Dr Bay, linked above, his involvement is only intended to prevent the case of the plaintiffs from proceeding; he is not arguing against AHPRA or the Department of Health. Dr Bay implies that nobody except an injured person should be allowed to challenge the governmet’s compliance with the regulatory approval process for pharmaceutical products.

Dr Bay’s argument that the allegedly ‘new’ kind of standing would allow the courts to intervene in private health decisions of parents does not make sense; the government can already intervene under the existing legislation following a complaint by a doctor or a teacher, for example, take custody of a child from its parent if the life or wellbeing of the child were seriously in danger. Vaccine mandates are another kind of ongoing intervention into private health decisions.

It is also unclear to me what is Dr Bay’s legal standing for intervening in a case he is not a party to. It seems that allowing a private party to freely intervene (allow “special interest” standing) in an administrative case, seeking to disqualify the plaintiff’s action, is creating precisely the kind of precedent that Dr Bay says he wants to prevent. Imagine taking the government to court for medical overreach and some private person intervenes to disqualify your case. https://www.lawright.org.au/legal-information/going-to-court/standing-and-involvement-in-legal-proceedings/
Because NATO is not at war with Russia, but engaged in a collaborative effort to de-nationalise, de-populate and re-engineer the breadbasket of Europe, which also happens to be the land bridge between Asia and Europe, the strategic “pivot” of the World Island. Who needs friends when you have enemies like these.
The most important lesson of the Russia:UkraineNATO conflict is that just because two groups are ‘fighting’ does not automatically mean they are not on the same side, working towards a common end.
The only possible cause of inflation are the recently historically low interest rates. Low interest rates simultaneously increase the volume of credit issued to home buyers (which are new funds that add 1:1 to the money supply in circulation) and increase the cost of housing. Supply chain issues do not alter the overall price level, since any extra money spent on one thing reduces the amount of money available to purchase other things, with the net effect on inflation being neutral. Only the supply of money under a steady volume of trade have any practical impact on inflation, according to the formula of exchange. In short, RBA caused the inflation, and they knew all along what they were doing.
