COMMENT

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: From Symbolic Consciousness To Insight Consciousness
No computer, however complex it may become in a simulacrum of sentience, will ever be able to approach the state of silence and insight, and communion with death and love that is the birthright of the human being.
Binoy Kampmark: Arresting And Killing Greenies - Targeting Climate Change Protests
In wealthier states, the climate change protester may be safer, but hardly immune from state violence. Arrests of protestors in both Australia and the UK are above the international average: 20% and 17% respectively.
Ian Powell: Welcome Puberty Blockers Report But Beware Derailing Transphobia
Ian Powell discusses the Health Ministry’s position statement on puberty blocker prescribing in the context of an NZ Medical Journal article, guidelines based on the Hippocratic Oath and the risk of transphobic derailment.

Gordon Campbell: On Why We Can’t Survive Two More Years Of This
Finance Minister Nicola Willis seems intent on portraying herself as that damsel in distress.
Binoy Kampmark: Join The Army; Travel To Exotic, Distant Lands; And Radicalise
The unfashionable and unpopular lesson here would be to cut back on that most extremist of phenomena: the business of war and the military racket that feeds it. Don’t needlessly place personnel in conditions that will torment their being and deprive them of a moral compass. Could there be any better prevention to this than peace itself?
Ramzy Baroud: Letters from Gaza – ‘Alhamdulillah. We Are Not Okay’
It may seem strange that none of those who communicated with me throughout the war have ever questioned their faith, and have often, if not always, begun their messages by checking on me, and my children.
