Can't beat the bachelor's handbag

"The shortfall came from unpaid dues from the United States, China, Russia and Mexico, according to a separate UN statement."

Holy shit this is so good, you legend

Yes, though responsive to random changes rather than direct orders usually. Like building the North Ryde facility to CSIROs requirements then immediately selling the land out from under them once complete, and then CSIRO has to manage that new cash sink ie by eventually selling the building

Successive defunding from Howard on. If you arent researching mining related fields then the government are not interested. Minister for industry Tim Ayres told reporters in WA that CSIRO must prioritise its research ie "focus on critical minerals, iron and steel production in Australia"

Nothing better than a refreshing drink of cream on a hot summers day

A separate thought, Peter Thiel recently said during his antichrist lectures that he thinks atheism and science are incompatible. That was baffling to me but your paragraph stating "the absolute requirement that God dominates the nation’s shape makes their bigotry unfalsifiable" give it more context

I was going to add much the same, as I haven't been able to tell if its ignorance or not. I do hope its the former.

Human Bioversity is an incredible rebrand, very darkly humourous, kafka-esque.

Ah, had just finished a refresher on Murray and the Pioneer Fund after you noted Mark Carnegies views on eugenics. Very timely!

Woah, sick song!

Thank god the author was there to, presumably, give those fat nerds in their ivory tower a dose of reality

Good casting by David Fincher as guy who gets shot in head:

Smarts as in political savvy despite his obvious character flaws, same as Trump in that regard.
I don't think he would require much steering by Advance, he is already there. Look how he has systematically gutted chemical and agriculation regulation.

I think he could make a legitimate crack at it. He might be an ass but he's no dummy. Potentially could assemble the countries primary right wing party out of the ashes of the Nats and Libs. For a start, there is a good chance that Matt Canavan will join him.

Thank you, ill give all a read

I have one specific anecdote about him. There was at dinner party in the UK and he leaves the room to take a call. When he walked back in he announces to the people he's with "oh, they're about to bomb Irans nuclear facilities". And then a few hours later thats what happens.

I see Niall Ferguson on the board as well and in general his influence confuses me. He appears to have people like Keir Starmer on speed dial and I've heard prominent Australians call him the "smartest living man" and the worlds "foremost philosopher".

Ouch, 62%
