This week Australia has taken the cheap, easy, political stunt approach to a very real problem: the abuses of social media ...
What our pollies have done, rather than address the algorithm, addiction, and other problems of social media that afflict all ages, is ban people under 16 (noting that under 13s are already banned) from social media - including those LGBTQIASB+, disabled, and other kids who relied on social media for support.
They have taken a staggeringly naive - dangerous - approach of assuming all parents are good - even the bigots who wish LGBTQIASB+ kids were dead, and throw them out or subject them to conversion fantasy style abuses.
It is utterly incompetent, and bodes poorly for the future of this government and the ALP ... and the eSafety Commissioner, who showed a staggering level of cluelessness by saying kids would "forget" about social media ...
And in the meantime, every other Australian has been forced to subject themselves to increased privacy and identity theft risks by the functionally ableist, homophobic/transphobic/biphobic, neurotypephobic government and commissioner (who also attacks national sovereignty) ...
There will be some benefits from this ban. The problem is, there will also be a very great deal of harm caused by these people who are too arrogant and self absorbed to listen to genuine, good faith warnings.
Having also listened to the treasurer recently, I fear the ALP is heading towards just being a red-badged neoliberal party ...
They really are at a crossroads.
However, the week had also had some good reading/listening, with:
- “Don't Become a Connoisseur” https://www.joanwestenberg.com/dont-become-a-connoisseur/
and
- “Discovering Spirit Guides” on the “Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death” podcast “What if spirits had been trying to reach you your entire life? “I saw things no one else could see. I talked to them, too. At first, I thought it was normal—until I realised no one else could hear them.” For as long as she can remember, Jackie Kenner has lived between two worlds. In Parked By the Exit, this psychic medium lifts the veil, sharing firsthand encounters with Spirit, multidimensional beings, and the unseen forces that shaped her path. What began as whispers and visions in childhood led to the awakening of her mediumship abilities, the discovery of soul memories, and undeniable proof that reality is far more expansive than most people realise. But awakening comes at a cost. What happens when you know things others don’t? When the world tells you to doubt yourself? When your gifts challenge everything you’ve been taught about life and death? With raw honesty and an unfiltered, direct style, Kenner explores the family disapproval, societal scepticism, and personal struggles that come with embracing a calling most refuse to understand. This is more than a memoir — it’s a mirror for those awakening to their own intuitive abilities. If you’ve ever wondered whether your visions, dreams, or gut feelings mean something more, this book is for you. Inside, you'll explore: First-hand accounts of spirit communication, ghosts, and multidimensional encounters The truth about mediumship — what it really feels like to open up to Spirit The emotional and social cost of psychic awakening — and why it’s worth it Past lives, spirit guides, soul memories, and what they reveal about the afterlife For readers of: Dr. Michael Newton, Robert Monroe, Dolores Cannon, Theresa Caputo, Tyler Henry, Suzanne Giesemann, Laura Lynne Jackson, Sonia Choquette, Brian Weiss, and anyone fascinated by mediumship, the afterlife, reincarnation, spiritual awakening, and the unseen world. Bio Jackie Kenner is an established Psychic Medium and Spiritual Business Consultant in Dallas. Before her current endeavours, Kenner pursued graduate studies at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Her professional journey led her to New York City, where she spent over a decade serving in management consulting and operational capacities within the technology startup sphere. With a wealth of experience, Kenner has guided numerous authors to successful publication, specialising in esoteric and spiritually-driven subjects. Her debut solo publication, Parked by the Exit, chronicles her transformative path to Psychic Mediumship.” https://jackiekenner.com/ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/our-paranormal-afterlife-finding-proof-of-life-after-death/id1354455555?i=1000740384668
Possible flaws
Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:
- there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;
- I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
