  1. "An ethics of probability tends to crowd out an ethics of possibility."

    "A technocratic approach can also be self-defeating in policy terms. Render the future too concrete and it becomes harder to think about far-reaching structural change. In the language of the anthropologist Arjun Appadurai, an ethics of probability tends to crowd out an ethics of possibility. Moreover, the precision of targets can make failures more glaring, as goals are missed and deadlines pass.This weakens commitment in adversity – a point made by sympathetic critics of a climate agenda centred on “hitting the carbon numbers”. Arguably one of the preconditions of radical politics is an element of imprecision. The anticolonial thinker and activist Frantz Fanon once warned of the “curious cult of detail” that could afflict the scientific mindset in politics, causing its bearer to lose sight of the bigger picture: “Thus, if a local defeat is inflicted, he may well be drawn into doubt, and from thence to despair.”" Jonathan White

  2. Atheist Mantra
    © Surazeus

    There is no god except my consciousness.
    This body and this world are all we have.
    Treat others how you want them to treat you.
    Do what you want as long as you harm none.
    We create our own paradise on earth.
    We are nothing after death so live well.

  3. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the people it acts upon. No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion — it is an evil government.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 147 (1955)

  8. Australia's lack of fuel security

    "Our way of life
    depends upon cheaper oil and fuel coming from overseas, but it does so at the cost of our security and resilience...The thought of not having food in cupboards and fridges or prescription medicines would likely exercise people's minds a lot more than the ill-informed thoughts they had during COVID about toilet paper." >>
