- And here we are in fortress Australia , the last continent without naturally circulating H5N1, cursing migratory birds who don’t respect border security
- Especially relevant reminder to us in Australia , given the recent ‘mystery cases’ of measles, ie new cases that have not travelled overseas, and have no known links to recent cases of measles. We need to not let up with our local vaccination efforts

- What the heck is ‘civilisational suicidal empathy’ . Empathy is always about the individual in front of us. When that is not practiced, it might potentially make for a more ‘efficient’ system, but by failing to hold spade for individuals that make up the system, it makes for a very unkind world .
- Claiming to have empathy at a population level for the better good of society but discounting the trauma and suffering of people at an individual level is not empathy at all. It’s actually gas lighting and a move towards authoritarianism
