I don't think Starmer's boring. I think he does all of his shit where the media aren't.
I think Labour takes as much advantage of the distractibility and reactivity of the general population as the far right parties do to push through as much damaging legislation as they can under the radar.

I'm genuinely curious, because to me it's kind of nuts.
If you're shocked and surprised by the findings of the Covid report, like 👍
If you're not at all surprised and angry at the selfish ignorance involved, love ❤️
If you find the whole thing ridiculous, as the media show will lead to naught...

In February 2026 I will finally begin my studies and the accompanying podcast; The Diary of an Amateur Philosopher.
I look forward to having those who are interested joining me at 42 in my formalisation and journey through a lifelong direction, and the (hopefully) often humorous, acerbic and...

The deliberate and focused attack on expertise by successive governments is why we're now run by opinionated idiots and many distrust intellectual authority.
This was not accidental.

The validity of a belief comes from the results of its application, not the certainty of its owner or how many agree with them. Truth is defined by consistent outcomes, not consistent assumptions.

We have created a world where it's near impossible to be both ethical and successful, and blame each other for the distinction.
We have to play the board we're thrown onto, sure, - but we might benefit from recognising we design not only the rules, but also the nature of the board.

Surely the least accurate measure of righteousness is proving your assumed correctness by the destruction of all disagreement.
And yet this is where we find ourselves.

Rather than supplementing repetitive or mundane labour to drive social mobility, isn't it fun we're using AI to instead seek to replace qualified and creative roles, driving only a distinct and extreme two-class system of extreme wealth and extreme poverty?

When what we teach our children what success looks like, then teach them that morality and ethics looks otherwise, it is a clear sign that societal reform is deeply necessary.

People talking about Labour breaking manifesto promises makes me cold when they long ago broke their representational values.

Should a society be structured to serve the wellbeing of its people, or should the wellbeing of people be sacrificed to serve the systems of society?
Surely that's not too hard a question, right? RIGHT?

Remember when balance in public and political debate used to be maintained by platforming subject matter experts representing majority stances to contentious issues, rather than between extremist lunatics with angry opinions and expertise only in eliciting emotional responses for cash?

As one who's unfortunately wired toward biochemical misery, I find that the best armoury against it is learning to focus on and appreciate the simple beauties and good connections our existence allows us. I shield myself with positive future goals and being open to the simple happinesses open to us.

Possibly the lesson here is that if you forcibly emplace a political part stooge as the editor of the BBC in order to get ut to make more money by destroying some of its most valuable services, its integrity and bias standards might also slide.

The current outrage manufactured toward the BBC should be viewed in the same way as other public bodies: as an attempt to blame the failures of political meddling and part privatisation on not controlling or privatising it enough.
Same scam, different British social institution.

At this point it's probably worth considering all career politicians as inherently both dishonest and fundamentally unskilled labour, and pay them as such.

The fact that Uber is a globally renowned unethical body owned by some of the most hateful and destructive agencies existing is one thing.
The fact they increasingly fail to provide a reliable and affordable service to customers while they fuck their staff is therefore increasingly unforgivable.
