Do you vote in political elections

Do you vote in political elections

Australia has compulsory voting.

This stops political parties removing sections of society from the voting pool, or making it hard for certain demographics to vote.

You know, like they do in the countries that keep telling you that they are the greatest democracies, like the USA.

Of course, you always have the choice of drawing a huge cock and balls on the paper which is a fine Aussie tradition.

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

One of the annoying things about aging, is the a amount of time you spend reflecting on the life you have lived, especially when the majority of that life is now behind you and most certainly containes all the best bits.

And certainly in my youth, I had quotes and mottos that seemed appropriate and meaningful and helped form the rules that I lived my life by.

What I realise now, with the benefit of hindsight, is that they were just constrictions, limits on my thinking, reducers of choice.

It’s often asked, if you could live your life again, what would you do differently?

‘Many things’ is the answer, but that assumes that if you had the chance to live your life again, being the same person, in the same place, with the same choices, the same rules, you’d not just make the same decisions. What you would need would be a trigger to make you make another choice.

If you could go back and do it all again, would you make the same mistakes, lose the love of your life again? John got the chance, over & over again

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Hopefully retired.

I retired once a few years back, but got lured back to do one more project management.

I’d like to think I’d be writing more but somehow I doubt it. The rapid rise of AI, as I’ve blogged about a time or two, will replace most writers. That and falling education standards in the USA, UK and others, coupled with the rise of social media and the way that people increasingly do not care about the low standards of spelling and grammar in so much of what we read, creates an easier target for AI to achieve.

Soon you’ll be able to tell if a human wrote it because it does have errors and is poorly constructed, not the other way around.

AI generated pictures, video and speech will be indistinguishable from reality. And no one will care.

Couple this to the fact that the USA is bound to start a war with China within ten years as it’s the only way to maintain their economic supremacy. It won’t indefinitely, but it will delay the inevitable for about 20-30 years, by which time, those in charge will no longer care.

10 years time? I don’t see there being much joy in the world.

Describe something you learned in high school.

Describe something you learned in high school.

Enough basic physics and a few formula so that when some one tells you something, the news presents something, a new product is announced, a new claim made, you have enough basic knowledge to be able to decide if it’s possible or totally fiction.

To many people believe total bullshite today because they don’t have the basic ability to judge fact from fiction.

When did you last look at a Holywood film and go ‘that’s total bullshit, can’t happen’. If you didn’t, then you’re either gullible or lacking a basic education.

What book could you read over and over again?

What book could you read over and over again?

What book Do I read over and over again?

‘Fine in June’ my first book. I wrote it because a story came to me and for the first time I felt a need to write it down. I read and re-read it so many times, looking at the punctuation and grammar. Then I published it. And kept reading it, correcting.

Two sequals followed and then I combined the three into an author’s, extended edition.

But I go back to the original June because, despite knowing it almost word for word, it turns me on. I published it because it did and I hoped others would find enjoyment in it. I still do
