Australia has the highest potential ceiling of almost any nation in the world.
But the problem is that we have a defeatist, anti-growth culture that punishes risk taking. Crab in the bucket mentality
@Matt_Camenzuli Albo looks like he wanted to be revered like Hawke: big projects, nation-changing, visible. All have fallen flat because he’s grown up in the Canberra bubble and believes his own PR.
@AvidCommentator@DrewPavlou Ooshies themselves are a sign of our stagnation and childishness. So much plastic and useless consumption, which damages the environment, people falling for that promo gimmick who don’t realise they’ve been sucked into a corporate net. Anika doesn’t get it either.
@Melbourne_says Part of the feeling that we have nowhere to turn is the unacknowledged gynosphere that contains men at every opportunity. When ‘equality’ means replacement in management and initiative is no longer welcome. Just compliance.
@ClareONeilMP Claire O’Neill said it’s the government’s policy for house prices to rise. Then after they fall due to their own policies says their policies are working. No credibility.
@peterluisvenero@SebastienGllmt Claude was extremely woke when I used it. Never touched it since. I want real intelligence not an apparatchik dressed up as a brain.
@JillianMun9471@SueMClarke1 I do agree. Marriage equality was the end of it for many of us who just get on with our lives. Kids need to be left alone. Many LGB think like this but we are drowned out by louder voices.
@DavidPocock Good considerations that are reflected in AI research. However there is one element missing: that 🇦🇺 data centre usage remains transparent and not used for citizen surveillance purposes. Even in part.
@corybernardi@one_nationSA@OneNationAus Success relies on effort and application. Unfortunately these are not enough these days. Unless effort does pay off people will keep turning to the government to keep providing for them. Wages must go up, housing must come down, management need to stop containing performers.
@MarkoMatvikov In universities someone gets a PhD and they are appointed to teach without any teaching or education qualifications.
In government someone is elected and they direct industries without knowing wtf they are talking about.
This is our society.
@DavidPocock This is the question: does Australia, with 1% of global output, ruin itself so that the 60% polluters keep going? We must have balance. Our transition cannot be allowed to weaken our energy security but at the same time advance us.
@DHughesy As important: the ponzi that is defined benefits. It starts to pay more than you put in at about 15 years and is a perverse incentive to remain in gov and bureaucracies without doing much. You just have to move the cogs.
We need a citizen-led forensic analysis of all laws, regulations and bureaucracy, to identify and weed out every single one that is working against us, our production, and enjoyment of life.
@peterluisvenero@BGatesIsaPyscho I knew from school the earth wasn’t perfectly round. This pic is an exaggerated illustration so we can see what in reality are very tiny displacements from a perfect sphere. The concerned citizen guy is always partly off and not very scientifically literate.
