Acknowledgment of Country

Social Standing

I ascribe towards left-leaning socialist values. In Australia I vote mostly for the Greens and Independent parties. 
I believe that social reform can be achieved through collective action and understanding of intersectional issues. 

I believe in the freedom of all peoples and all countries from conflict and harm. In addition to the harm inflicted, War is the largest cause of pollution and is actively damaging our environment at detrimental levels along with the continual mining of non-renewable resources such as gas and coal. The Australian mining and logging industries have directly caused the endangerment of our beautiful native species and its scarring the land beyond what can be regenerated fast enough to heal the damage. 
So, to recap... 
FOR: 
  • Climate Justice
  • Environmentalism 
  • Feminism 
  • Social Justice and Reform 
  • Sustainability 
AGAINST: 
  • Deforestation and Logging
  • Military Conflict and Power
  • Mining of all non-renewables
  • Sexism 
  • Racism 
  • Capitalism

Religion

I'm more spiritual than religious. 
If I were to follow any form of spiritual practice it would be paganism and pantheism. 

AI

I believe that Artificial Intelligence is a lucrative technology, its utilisation in science has allowed for immense progress, especially in medical fields. 
The use of generative AI for the creation of text and images is an afront to the act of creativity and is causing irreparable damage to not only our psyches and critical thinking ability, but also to the planet as a whole.
