@andrewjnorton I think the STEM brigade have pretty well bullied school leavers away from the humanities, steering them more towards IT based degrees that could be as well taught in TAFE as in unis and without better job prospects

I wrote a book, Has the Luck Run Out?, about institutional failure in Australia. No one is exempt and the PwC tax cheat shows us we are right to become more and more distrustful, a theme well explored by @madonna king in this column https://t.co/gI8irF2vLl

@ProfBrianCox Perhaps the beings we know as humans will be seen in the future as temporary and convenient repositories for AI, the enduring but renamed force inhabiting this little planet

Youth crime is claiming our attention but in my column for InQueensland this week, I look at when the crime that mattered was run by the cops. WARNING: Contains references that make little sense if you’re 50 or younger. https://t.co/uVCpwXsGYM

@GMegalogenis True conservatives favour social cohesion. Rejection of the voice diminishes cohesion. But I wonder George how long “new Australians” will accept this is “their” issue and not an issue “old Australians” should have dealt with, not bequeathed.
