Slow business, philosophy. One of the things that got me started in philosophy was being told by a law lecturer that if one person has a right, at least other person or entity must have a duty, and wondering whether it was always true. Still thinking about it close to fifty years later.

🧪 Did you know AI servers need treated freshwater for evaporative cooling? 💦 Water escapes as vapor, so recycling isn't an option. Water demand can be even higher with newer, more energy-intensive chips. Learn how communities are rallying against data centers: peatmail.substack.com/p/chatbots-e...
Chatbots’ endless thirst for clean water
Artificial intelligence has unlimited potential just waiting to be tapped into...and that could be a problem. I share why policy change and regulation surrounding this new tech is so important.

When I wrote about Project 2025 in April 2024, literally all I was asked by mainstream Australia media was to “prove” the link to Trump. Very few took the answer seriously. But *all* of this was observable and *could have been planned for* by allies of the United States.

9 youths were hospitalised after self-harming at the Holtze Youth Detention Centre in the 12 months after it opened.
Corrections officers also recorded two sexual assaults, 19 "physical injury" assaults, seven "major" disturbances, four escapes and one hunger strike in that time.

Best of 2025 - Australia faces a looming crisis of older women retiring in poverty. Here’s what we can do
Australia faces a serious challenge. Despite important progress on gender equality over recent decades, a looming crisis now threatens the economic security of older women. Without urgent and bold action, we risk consigning further generations of women to poverty in retirement.

But the scheme's strict restrictions are leading to concerns it's facilitating modern slavery in Australia.
