A detail shot of “Surf” by LISA WEISS. The artist states, “All my work is process driven, created through experimentation with many materials, place and time. The works is inspired by architecture, geometry, abstract form in relation to human consciousness and the discipline of yoga . Non objective forms that predate label, things imperfect and evolving are of interest. I am concerned for the state of the earth, the feminine wave and the reflective slow revolution of expanding consciousness.” Gorgeous & available.

With our primary needs met, why have we created more work for ourselves?

Why Fascism is Rising Again (And What You Can Learn From It)

One of the most frustrating things about our democracy is the obvious lack of consistent, collective vision. In the cacophonous age of the internet we elect governments who implement policies in an increasingly reactive and populist way, only to have them undone by the next wave, squandering truly ridiculous amounts of money and natural resources. 

In our rich society, in Australia at least, our physical needs have been more than met. More no longer equates with better, and yet we are fed stories of the essential nature of progress and growth, and scared with stories of their potential absence. Notice, though, that there is no shared vision of what we are supposed to be progressing toward now. 

This opinion piece goes a long way toward explaining a vague undercurrent of unease I’ve had about the kind of dithering we’re doing while economic inequality grows and grows, and while control of essential services is privatised and centralised so that we are no longer self-sufficient in our own communities. We are totally reliant on increasingly central control, and conditions are ripe for that central control to become overtaken and corrupted.
