By being backward oriented and not investing adequately into and operating wind and solar energy, we not only miss out on having and using sufficient renewable energy – no, we also miss out on an important opportunity for learning from operating them. Vital data cannot be collected from what does not exist in Australia. Other countries who are operating wind and solar at large scale are able to learn from collected data (including cost details) so that their future planning is now much better than it would otherwise be. The critical mix between wind and solar is important. How else can we know this, but from operational data ? “So why not use foreign data?” you say ? We need data for Australian conditions with local geographical and many other specifics. We need to learn from operating wind and solar here in Australia and cannot simply transplant data from other countries where different conditions/parameters exist. We miss out on opportunities we could have, had we invested sufficiently into solar and wind power. This ill-minded negligence is bad for our future as a nation and its negative consequences will be a burden for future generations.
Sadhguru on Intuition
Intuition has only recently been recognised as being far more than “just a gut feeling”. If we “feel” that something is wrong, it probably really is wrong. Our brain has very important and powerful regions that are not capable of verbal expression, they just give us a feeling. So, why would we be dismissive about this ? Suffice to know that over 50% of all top finance decisions are taken on the basis of gut feeling = intuition. For good reasons of course. Pure thinking is just not very good when things are really really complex. It is limited. Intuition is perhaps also limited – and it can’t be used for everything – but when it comes to complex matters, it often beats pure logic. Check out Prof. Gerd Gigerenzer’s work for more.’
Can you believe it ?
An ASIC Chair James Shipton a lawbreaker ? Well, a 118,000 $ bill for tax advice really allows for no other conclusion, does it ? What was/is he thinking ?

Not good enough Mr Morrisson
„More than 680 of the 905 Australians who have died from COVID fell ill with it while in aged care facilities“.Source: The Conversation
Aged care in Australia is a federal government responsibility – not a state responsibility!
Clearly, aged care is not a priority item for this liberal party government.
Live classical music
Nothing really beats live classical music. Yes, there may be inaccuracies and the odd mistake (if you can detect it) but that is actually the charm of live music.
Indirectly responsible for people gathering during lockdown
You can spin this any way you like but the federal government’s vulgar and superfluous verbal attacks on Daniel Andrews is for some people a top level encouragement to take lightly or even break lockdown rules and gather, thus producing a high risk of spreading the virus. The sabotaging nature of the Morrison government’s ongoing attacks on Daniel Andrews will not be forgotten.
Apart from the above, one also has to see that here is a federal government playing political games when the state of Victoria under the fine leadership of Daniel Andrews is dealing with a dangerously infectious threat for the health of the people of Victoria. Morrisson & Co have for many Australians lost their credibility or what is left of it.
1969 – Across the Universe, by John Lennon/Beatles – Jai Guru Deva
Across the Universe
Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Frydenberg’s unreasonably slow recovery plan
Instead of making stupid “get on with it” remarks to Daniel Andrews, Frydenberg would be well advised to review his recovery plan.
