  • Why do we put up with it?

    Why do we put up with it?

    Why do we put up with it?     Cultural misbehaviour sells the media story, and demonstrates what I have long said about the educational unintelligence of the Australian media.       …of course, I am not saying there are not excellent journalists and brilliant media pieces.   But without the scholarship in the public marketplace…

  • The Public ALL Agreed. So, why don’t the political bastards “Get It”? : Communicative Action with Nick Carter

    Last November the Productivity Commission recommend, in an intermit report, for the removal of the tax-free status of private schools. Let me be clear, this does not benefit public education.

    Philosophically Ontology Logic Intersect Compatibility Education (POLICE)

        “Police” might not be ‘a great’ acronym, but I referring to each person “policing” their own thought. What I am referring to, is not “self-censorship” in the way the libertarians discuss this concept of “self-censorship”.
