Pot calling the kettle black

The evidence: Pretending fanaticism is not a widespread disease.

Where Brisbane institute discuss an important issue
The Lure of Simplicity, the Need for Complexity: Fundamentalism, independent media & politics


let me suggest for the discussion
--The powerbrokers may need to take heed - Heal thyself? the powerbrokers worldview means they are growing and surviving on fanaticism themselves
--- for example
1. common forms of fundamentalism in the media and political agendas are on the main menu of technological quick fix
2. that the unsustainable fanaticism evident all around us, is an expression of the increasingly ineffective unworkable and reactionary politics of the left
3 The audience for the game rather than the players is where the money goes and the audience ( rather than real scientists) worshipping technology-- not science( huxley, ellul, c.koch etc) Tokenism
3 If Australia is not to be increasingly left behind technologically, its politicians need to support the real thing later( science), rather than the imitation former .( there is a proper process and a proper cost to be paid)
4. Followers rather than leaders . The reality of reactionaries is shown by the lack of prvenetion focus. eg The choice to support disease prevention at its best : that the topics subject concerns ( and resulting powerwar between only two of the many players )amongst the powerful, ignores the key future role for balance of individual minds and genuine people power Battlefield/castle games that are increasingly "off air" except for bloggers see http://users.gsat.net.au/tuf
