By their fruits and their shallow faith, ye shall know them

Reactionaries are lost when the unexpected happens because they, by nature, don't anticipate things. 

Many of us know the current Greenlabor governments are reactionaries and always have been.

Having failed the physics, chemistry and eco design classes, they don't initiate real world progress. Workable changes that work rely on testing things to build confidence; The protective and proactive actions the public need do not arrive in their minds before the thing arrives on the scene and kills someone. Prevention is the key aim of good politics and those who don't know how to practice it should go.  

Those that don't think through ideas or anticipate things, still listen in a particular way which seems to work ( short term ) The true conservationist will reject this because real progress is about resisting short term gain if it doesn't lead to long term gain . 
By not being distracted by the complex discussions of competent debate, lazy thinkers keep their ears open for someone to name the new idea, crisis or problem, before they speak up.

Our quick fix reactionary leaders fail to resist violent talk before it becomes violent action. Our laws on violence have been with us from England ; verbal assault used to be considered as bad as physical assault because the former often precedes the latter, and the control of the former resists the latter ever happening.
Our current clone of Leaders find complex causation connections confusing so they are then afraid to prosecute the preliminaries of escalation because they don't really know what works.

Like Chamberlain before the war, they hope their bright new clothes ( which they found by watching the fads on their screens), positive speaking and the saying of nice acceptable things will keep the wolf from the door.

These fanatics paid big money for police presence at protests, but couldn't see that Jewish events needed watchmen. Reactionaries to this day.

My suggestion for you to ponder .
There is a completely false confidence amongst many reactionaries that early adoption is automatically the right thing to do.

This false faith comes from seeing all progress as both evolutionary and automatic .
Sure early adoption applies to technical innovation and the neccessity of doing that in an industrial  economy . 
Evolution is fine and effective where it leads to adaption but its not automatic; This is especially true when we have humans and make choices. The complex tension between drivers and decisions is a big subject so let's just concentrate on what we can do to resist what the drivers around us tell us we must ,of necessity,  do . Lets play our role in the ecology of our circumstances and act as resilient individuals within that . 
   

Reactionaries, rely, in recent decades , on the arrogant blind myth they perpetuate that they are ahead of the rest of us .
They don't know much but , but they do know Shoemakers technical winning hierarchy from early adopters to laggards. 
The failed science class love to think of themselves as early adopters 
and love to portray the opposition as laggards.
 
The easily led have convinced themselves that they are the true progressives. The arrogant and simplistic interpretation of Shoemakers ' Innovation adoption theories would be harmless speculation if such people are just sitting in front of screens. 

When these simpletons are in charge 
 they have our money to play with, and they buy in early and glorify themselves for being early adopters .They buy in too early and just create trash to be parked out on the street   ( see earlier posts ) 

Net Zero -- out on the nature strip it goes

Net Zero- its NOW out on the nature strip with all that other short term stuff  that simply doesn't work. 







In a technological society what does not work gets thrown out. Simple as that . 

You cannot revive a dead horse after vainly  trying to ride it for 20 years

Type " climate change " and  "Unexpected consequences "into the query line above . 20 years of hot air talk and ever changing focus -- has taken us nowhere.   



I hate it how those who didn't pass physics and chemistry still try to tell those of us who did HOW to solve scientific and practical challenges.
Their incompetence over several decades has led to many empty aims and actions in conservation . 

 The Conservatives have finally split over the simply stupid badge of Net Zero and Greenlabor will now have to change its spots on the subject too - 20 years to try and convince the public that the wild horsemen know what they are doing, is too long.
We sadly live on an island and have got distracted by careless chatter . We have been pretending we can solve the world's problem of increasing fuel costs by trying to do something about the world's atmosphere , We have been totally distracted from the  real challenge of decreasing fossil  fuels by the nonsense that a great increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a problem; it is not.   
The early adopters may think theirs, and the worlds future depends on them achieving Net zero but  they are only supporting the desperate to stay in power ( November 2025 )



In a technological society what does not work gets thrown out . Simple as that . 
You will hear all sorts of excuses when Labor changes its tune on what net Zero means,  but the above principle is the driving one. Change and all the waste that it creates. 


This is the mad disease of our age. Drug induced comas . The people are dependent on the government for this weeks high.  A new description of the drug will save the suckers from seeing that the drug of last week doesn't work.
The Teals can complain all they like about Labor changing its spots, but, its happening and its going to keep happening because the well intentioned have been distracted by the quick fix drugs that do not work.

The unreliable light of Greenlabor is fading just like its vain hope in all that batteries cannot do is going is going to keep fading ( look up Rowan Atkinson on the subject ) .  

It's in the nature of the animal that too many post moderns worship change alone.

To get away with it now, that minority called  Greenlabor  will have to be subtle: the complete erosion of their rationale should result in them being taken off the job. 

Hopefully Australians will have had enough of their costly ignorance and arrogant expensive purchases in windmill and other defenses that don't even work half the time. 
If Labor want to keep winning, they  too have to rebadge the task. They already have had a go by changing the crisis dates.
Labor will have to change the goal posts .eg "We  didn't mean complete net zero just a zero change from 1960 or whatever"" 
This hypocrisy and waste completely empties their right to govern any budget : the intellectual and scientific  credibility of green labor is in tatters .  

We capable applied scientists were never happy with the science of AGW being a threat, let alone all the false worries of those determined to try to move us onto last quick fix called CC .Bigger again in all this   is the lefts chosen track of Suicidal Empathy ( Saad)

Wires Windmills Panels and the constant changes re where they are best to go  . 
None of these ever changing" best sites for this and that " last long .
This week the machinery gets bigger , more expensive to maintain , and more risk prone in big winds.

In a vain attempt to make them fill the energy gaps they never will Premier Allan  has moved them off Bridgewater ( where its too windy ) tried to get them  at sea ( where they will work more often but cost more to maintain - STGLTP  and now fills any landscape like Rokewood where they are a bit out of mind: Trillions of dollars for something that doesn't even half do the job 

This in the mad disease of our age. Drug induced comas . The people are dependent on the government for this weeks high.  A new description of the drug will save the suckers from seeing the that the drug of last week doesn't work. 
They haven't worked out the Canberra plan will never keep the smelters going. 
And so the seed for seeking for more gas , these creepy incompetents are  now sowing . 

One presumes their latest big gearbox solutions , that the location could be secondary now to the mad merry go round of demands from Canberra for something that involves less wires , transformers and grief from those who know the Bowen plan is costing the earth for  excess power when we don't need, 

As always, the incompetent are desperately trying to fix something they don't understand with short term ( apparent gains ) that turn out to be long term pain  for the people.  STGLTP

Dumber and Dumber in charge

 You all know Trump .
What many of you don't know is that most of those in charge of our Countries are like Trump .
What many of you don't yet know is that we put them there and don't want to face that fact ( called denial).: It's not just the dumb tyrants problem. 
.
ACGrayling is right;  Our democracies are not working. Churchill said it too -- they don't always work. 

The difference , and our reason for us still ( mostly )being limpets on the good ship of our own making is that we don't know the difference between ships and can't spot the difference because we,  as latter day saints worship technology and those who advertise it -
We don't worship and respect science ( study it here ) ; we can't wait and we as a society worship technology instead. 
We worship the new process and are in denial about where it can fail ( Ellul - The technological society)
an example from Victoria Australia June 2025

When Parliament panics, thinking people want these dangerous people arrested

 You would do at a home if it was YOUR HOUSE
"Go to your room till you calm down!"

YOU WON'T GO TO SLEEP like you would in Parliament listening to this leader with  a brain   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGsz4kh2ZWM&t=4713s

Green Labor are in a very desperate mood. They spend money like water and it's not working.
Worse they panicked with COVID risk  ( esp in Victoria where fear and ignorance seems like bread and butter ) and now they repeat their avoidable panic over young people and the internet.
It looks good to them--that's all that matters .  How things look .
PLUS now anything seems better than nothing when the wheels are falling off ; when the threats are so real you have to jail the escaping criminals before Christmas
Every cool head knows this PANIC to be the case. 
No party should gets leadership to call their ideas mandated  but  this lot do it in a blatant and hypocritical way. (5- 50 % of group telling the others what is right>
 All parties, however small, can have bills forwarded to the 100%
But only one super arrogant group thinks they KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING;  the testimony in their hearts and on the ground is totally against them.
No one credible chatterer amongst them at the moment. 
No party gets their bills passed by kicking the reform readings in the  
even the Teals and Jacquie lambie have been bought off. 

Why do polys go where angels fear to tread ?

Starting with some of the worst and most common 

1.  They have never grown up and lived
    in the real world
   - where things are more complicated
   - they think the worlds they have lived are real- 
   - where worlds they have lived in are full of good intention 
   - where worlds they have lived in appear to be full of good intention but are full of deception and misconception because the attempts by the incumbents to implement things fail and fail regularly  
   They have to say say something that is popular to stay in power 
   They have to offer new solutions to old problems to stay in power 
   
   Thomas Sowell: There Are No Solutions - YouTube. 
   
   2. Being failed in science, they are spooked by controversy involving more than one fact 
   3  Being failed in science, they think they are safe running to academia . No effective practical graduate of University would do what they do-- in faith ,
   
   Why do the media give oxygen to those who are clearly depriving them and us of true understanding and real world management of real risks? The dumbing down of Australia. 
   
   
   
   

Common reasons for confidence 

• What they say is popular.  They like to think popular means right . 
• ( rarer) They have been successful  in some field and think they know how to fix things.  

Other drivers ( especially now in Mat 2024) 
The people are desperate for a savior. 
- "I wanna be that savior "

-It doesn't matter that i don't know much because they even cultivate ideas like that below
"I think more pressure from me would force someone to do something " ( typical of some one time candidates ) 


Stupid incomplete ideas like 

"I know where the evil element lies" 
- in big business  ,
- in the other side
-- in some threat from outside 

Having put a few thought here

I have a feeling that my potential problem is not outside but inside

and I need to consult the angels. 

We are all seeking power, but to what end ?

" Human nature, when seeking power, wants either to play the victim or create victims of others.

Once we start feeling sorry for ourselves will soon find someone else to blame . accuse or attack- and with impunity. " Richard Rohr 

Much industry of men must of necessity be unproductive( we are always learning)
If we don't admit our failures, we will compound the amount of accumulated grief of incompetence that we bear. Humanity is dominated not by solutions but the tendency towards fear and hate because we really can't solve the deep problems we face personally and incompletely. 

If Richard is right many, instead of dropping their grief burden, spend time in public discourse pretending they are still solving problems when they are building like Boffin,a pile of ashes ;
--an attempt to burn the light or pretend to burn the light by burning down others lights???

Pretend problem solving (quickfix) is the pretense of our age .
"We are hell bent on Fixits , uncomfortable with struggle or with sadness" . 
We need to let go of trying so hard. Sunday is coming ..........when we should all rest.  

WE know the church has lost it way when it tries to be popular

 Components of The Anglican Church want to change the way God  followers  talk about God so it fits in not with the context of whose talking about what  then , but whose talking PC correctness now. 
 Christ followers and the prophets of old have never been popular and the essence of spiritual truth peace and wholeness has never been obvious to the casual observer ; Those of us who know the deeper truths of following God know that God is not in your face or for sale ; we all still have questions but they are subsumed in a recognition that God is God and we need to trust God for some things. 
This is quite logical if God is to be God and not the product of our own rationalizations.
Mark Durie does a great job of demolishing those who would presume to redefine our Creator's role and desire for all men and women ,too simple , too sexual and too much like human relationships. Fear and Love God above all things .
