Yes. I was also thinking about how in any other industry/profession, if you went to hire a consultant or employee and they wanted to "debate" every issue or even worse - one-up everyone else all the time - you would assume they have no clue and wouldn't hire them. Why accept this in governance?

Is it a war crime to provide aid and comfort to wanted war criminals? What is the statute of limitations on that? Serious question...

OK, it's *three* screenshots :)

Bottom line: if what the police say is correct about the capacity of that park, then by their own words and estimations there had to be at least 35,000 people attending the #protest.

Which is absolutely massive for Brisbane!

"they" => anyone who holds an office of power who does not do what is required of their position to uphold the rule of law. Past, present and future.

It's the eternal "they"...

And that to me it the core of their cowardice - they *know* this, but prefer to shirk the responsibilities that they explicitly signed up for whenever it would require any sacrifice from themselves and push those sacrifices onto the next to hold their offices.

It will be eradicated, history shows us that much. The only question is the level of collective pain required to do so.

What bemuses me is that everyone knows (even those complicit) that the longer it takes to enforce clear boundaries that harder and more painful it becomes to enforce them.

Oh, I'm not a doctor ... my initials just make it seem that way :) I'll still check out your podcast anyway - public health effects everyone, and every issue is related!

Looks like it

Yep

Oh... and the "map" I referred to was the map of truth, not logic. They are different. Aligning the subjective map of our beliefs with the objective map of truth, sometimes it takes courage.

Just musing here, not taking any issue at all with your words or posts btw...

Human nature and culture is 100% logical. Sometimes it seems that it isn't because we don't have access to all of the information that informs people's decisions. Once we have that information, their decisions and culture become logical (to us) again. I suppose that process is called empathy.

No worries, I just replied to the post that I saw, more to others benefit and as a philosophical point than specifically to you. I put in the trolling part as a way to head off a potential mudfight.

Your point about calling people dumb is definitely true, people just don't like that :)

A better way of saying my last sentence: your beliefs are your map, and the truth is the correct map.

Making an ongoing effort to align your beliefs with objective truth helps to ensure that you end up where you wanted to go. Otherwise, you are only "winning" at going the wrong way.

I don't know much about "liberals" and I know you are trolling, but I do know that wilfully being wrong leads people into places they didn't intend to go. The truth is a map, if you use a map that is incorrect, you will not end up where you think you are going - even if you "win" all the way there.

Ok thank you, I will keep an eye out

Is there any news of this kind of thing being organised for Brisbane?

You'll find that people are puzzled more than irritated.

There's lots of actually useful and interesting challenges in the world at the moment. I'm sure that you have actual talents, you would be far better off to do something more worthwhile with your time.

Goodbye now 👋

What on earth are you actually talking about?
