When Australia gets on board with the legalisation of Cannabis, the monopolisation of the industry will be defined for crony insiders and regulation introduced to protect it by making difficult for new entrants.

I agree and am impressed that you would have called out the ambassador on his use of the term. It seems to me that it is being demonised by affiliation with Hitler and the WWII German Nazi movement. Whereas, if contrasted against the term "popular vote" one can see that "populism" is closely...

That's an interesting observation isn't it. One could almost argue that under that distinction, humanity lives according to libertarian ideals. In so much that once a socialist collective group gets large enough and its control structures stringent enough, the only way coercion from the elite...

Confirmation bias rather than critical thinking?

Has anyone been following the Time Cross Project? This is a psychic styled project of predicting the top news stories a month in advance, with some standardised and public controls. I have found it very interesting in its accuracy in describing the events yet to unfold. In terms of its...

With the discussion about capitalism being good and the socialists arguing for more rules with opinions on the best way to control their fellow human beings, I thought it might be important to reflect on the limitations of ignorance we have.
