The Fluid Complex

We are entering a post-science era, where scientific fraud is so abundant that real science will be shunned and ignored by citizens and decision-makers.

Retail businesses that track customers (via WiFi or facial recognition) suffer from a lack of moral compass.

Did nobody at these companies ever ask, “Is this the right thing to be doing?”

“around the globe […] food prices have increased by 75 per cent since the middle of 2020″

Let that sink in.

Imagine that you are in a developing country, barely scraping out an existence, and then your cost of surviving jumps this much.

This is the cost of our lockdowns and border closures.

Governments and medical experts right across the western world ought to be ashamed of themselves for inflicting this misery, suffering, and death upon our fellow humans.

What on earth is wrong with people these days?

So many users are reporting people and pages on Facebook simply because they disagree with what has been expressed. In almost all cases, there has been no violation of Facebook's policies and standards, yet Facebook errs on the side of the reporter and bans the reported person/page... with no opportunity for recourse.

This is cancel culture by automation, and is a symptom of a sick society which is increasingly unable to handle the discussion of challenging and contradictory ideas.

I, like most people, hate to be proven wrong or to have holes poked into my arguments. But, I use this as an opportunity to reassess my views and better nuance my expression of them. I don't go around cancelling people because they hurt my sensibilities.

To whoever reported my previous Facebook page, grow up!

This idea would represent an utter betrayal of the idea of superannuation.

It would amount to the government running off with people’s superannuation in order to spent it on public projects that would no doubt be put to good use in buying votes.

So, the TGA can put resources into approving booster shots for kids, but can’t do even a tiny investigation into all of the horrible side effects that adults have been experiencing?

Misleading headline.

Here’s a genuine bit of shifty politics!

Morrison is desperately trying to deflect from his own government’s failures with regards to inflationary pressures (in particular, supply chain and workforce disruptions due to COVID policies under his watch).

The conflict in Ukraine will add to this problem, but this joker is trying to convince us that he’s had nothing to do with it!

Never mind that he kept Australia’s borders closed for two years. Never mind that he’s sent hundreds of millions of dollars of weapons to fuel the conflict in Ukraine. He wants us to accept that he’s had no hand in this cost-of-living inflation pressure, that it’s all because of the big bad bear Russia.

Seriously? I thought that climate alarmists like Ardern would have welcomed a dramatic rise in oil prices in order to further efforts to extract their economies from carbon-based energy.

During this entire pandemic we have been subjected to obscene obfuscation of data to serve political purposes.

Obfuscation that made the pandemic seem far worse than it really is, and obfuscation that has made the vaccines seem far safer than they really are.

Every single person who has wilfully contributed to this hysteria ought to face criminal or sedition charges.

I don’t doubt that in some countries these deranged individuals (that includes many politicians, bureaucrats, reporters, scientists and medical professionals) will be targeted for harm. This is simply a sad historical truth of what happens when the people are lied to and punished on the basis of those lies.

Why will it come to this? Because these very people will never be held to account for the harm they have created on the basis of them emphasising particular data to present particular catastrophes that they use to warrant their actions.

Well! Well! Well!

It turns out that the science was correct. Ubiquitous use of masks is a waste of time during a respiratory pandemic.

I say “was”, because this was empirically proven prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, somehow, during this pandemic this scientific fact was flipped on its head, without solid scientific data to support it.

This is a growing issue. I’m finding quite a few people experiencing this (including myself). And it’s only going to become more prevalent as medicines agencies push for more and more boosters.

This excellent piece should be compulsory reading for all Australians, regardless of their views on vaccines and border protection.

Well!

And just like that, Australia signals to the world that it is closed for business.

Views on vaccines, visas, biosecurity, ethics and all the rest are not at issue here. This is an international matter of geopolitical optics.

I know several academic talent who have not been allowed into the country since being offering research positions in 2020 and 2021! Djokovic’s drama is not about him in particular. It’s simply a high profile instance of what has been going on throughout this entire rotten scenario.

His expulsion from Australia sends a signal to the world’s talent that they are not welcome in Australia.

Any notion of Australia wanting to be a “clever country” is now clearly and completely being abandoned by our governments.

We need more discussions like this.

Politicians who loudly and often proclaim to be “following the science” are doing nothing more that trying to silence dissenting opinion and ignore contrary evidence. Even if their political decisions are the best option available at the time.
