• The Bureaucratic Control against Indigenous Australia

    Captain James Cooke arrived on Australian shores in the year 1770. After charting the east coast, he officiated that Australia was uninhabited, desolate and belonged to no one, identifying Australia as terra nullius and acquiring it authoritatively for King George III . The savages, as Captain Cooke elucidated, were primitive, uneducated and uncivilised, roaming peripatetically, consuming what the land bared, and...

  • Issues That Underpin Capitalism

    The basic system that underpins capitalism is autocratic control, whereby, central systems and institutions control, manipulate, and then manoeuvre products as merchantable, thereby establishing an ordain value for a product, and thus, create a niche need.

  • What should we do when faced with adversity?

    Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received--hatred.

An epistemic question frequently raised is whether the world contains quantities of evil, in such a proportion, to grant the existence of the Judaeo-Christian God unrealistic.

If a loving God existed, then it would be logical that he would bring about an existence void of pain, suffering and evil. The only reason to introduce evil would be for a greater good, inescapable from such oppression.
