Dr Kevin McCairn PhD is a neuroscientist at the Korea Brain Research Institute. In his lab he has been examining the novel 'calamari' clots we're seeing around the world. He makes the argument that we are reaping the results of a deliberate weaponisation of prion-like amyloids in the engineered virus Sars-Cov-2 and their accompanying panacea vaccines.In this conversation he presents his findings, with both a warning and message of hope for the world.

Your government hates you. Provocative, maybe, but according to reformed criminal and now lawyer Jordan Dittloff, there's more truth here than comfort allows. In this fearless conversation, Jordan unpacks how Australia's taxes and regulations aren't just an inconvenience; they're actively fueling organized crime, corruption, and hardship for ordinary Australians.Jordan shares his unique journey from the wrong side of the law to candidacy for political office, giving us an insider's look at the mechanics of government overreach, taxes, and their unintended but destructive consequences.This isn't just criticism — it's a wake-up call. Watch now and decide for yourself: is your government part of the solution, or the problem itself?

For decades, Australia's outdoor enthusiasts—4WD'ers, campers, and hunters—have shaped and cared for the rugged landscapes they love. But as government policies tighten and access to national parks and state forests is restricted, is the Aussie outdoor lifestyle under threat?In this deep-dive conversation, Simon Christie (4WDTV) shares his firsthand insights from years in the off-road and outdoor industry. We explore: The rise of 4WD culture in Australia and why it's world-leading. How hunting and conservation intersect, and the growing challenges of managing invasive species like sambar deer. The impact of government policies—from track closures to bushfire mismanagement. Why China's booming 4WD market could reshape the global off-road industry. The political fight to keep Australia's wild places open, and why outdoor communities struggle to push back.This isn't about blind outrage—it's an honest look at the tension between preservation and access, and what's at stake for those who live and breathe the outdoors.Listen and decide for yourself: Are we protecting nature, or just locking people out?

Retired detective Joe Noonan sits down for a frank and deeply reflective discussion about his years in Victoria Police, the toll of frontline policing, and how the force has changed over time. With a mix of sharp wit and hard-earned wisdom, he shares stories of crime, corruption, and camaraderie, offering an insider's perspective on the realities of law enforcement.

Australia has 33% of the world's uranium and is responsible for 10% of the current uranium produced worldwide. For a country fixated on 'carbon neutrality', it exports a huge amount of 'de-carbonised energy' in the form of uranium but refuses, and in fact bans, the use of nuclear power. Dr Mark Ho is a nuclear engineer at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), Australia's federal nuclear agency. He is also the current president of the Australian Nuclear Association and joined us to explore the potential of nuclear power: how it works, where it's already deployed, and what the risks are. It's a conversational dive into the mechanics of nuclear power, reactor designs, meltdown protections, and the politics of nuclear energy in Australia. https://www.nuclearaustralia.org.au https://x.com/nuclearmh https://discernable.io/australian-nuclear-energy-with-dr-mark-ho/

Professor Nikolai Petrovsky claims that Flinders University in South Australia is destroying its reputation and embracing itself as 'the university that hates research' with 'no time for developing treatments for cancer patients'. In this interview I questioned the professor on his cancer vaccine research, how and why Flinders University is thwarting that research, and whether his vaccine will be any better than mRNA products. Professor Petrovsky shares his expert opinion on mRNA safety, whether he and his family would ever take them, and what the future holds. Flinders University was contacted for comment and provided the following statement: ' Dr Petrovsky has not been affiliated with Flinders University since November 2022. The cancer trial in question is entirely a matter for Vaxine Pty Ltd, which is a privately owned company with no association with Flinders University. Securing suitable accommodation to pursue its commitments is entirely a matter for Vaxine Pty Ltd.

Filmmaker Dee McLachlan investigates the 'open market' of child trafficking that operates in Australia. Through her films (that have gone as far as the United Nations) and her online news network, Dee raises the alarm over the way Australian governments, judiciaries and departments coordinate to create a market for children being removed from one or both parents, sustaining a massive bureaucracy that is not incentivised in any way to reunite or restore children to their families. Listen to this interview to learn what sort of parents are targeted, how they are targeted, and what we must do to clean up the legal but heinous market for officially trafficked children in Australia. https://linktr.ee/discernableofficial https://thechildprotectionracket.com https://gumshoenews.com

What is the deal with our obsession with house prices? Is it right that a basic need has been turned into a speculative investment? Are rocketing house prices real or just inflation by another name?

Professor Nikolai Petrovsky invented a Covid-19 vaccine. He took his own vaccine. He was fired and cancelled for refusing and calling out the potential dangers of competing technologies (mRNA).

Jay Vidanage is a barrister and solicitor from Old Port Chambers in Adelaide, Australia. Jay believes that it's only a matter of time before the wheels of justice come down on vaccine mandates. He points to recent wins in court that demonstrate a shift in judicial tone around Covid-19, vaccines, and vaccine mandates. Most concerning is the way mandates and directions are being declared unlawful by courts, for varying reasons, leaving employers exposed for any harms they may have caused their employees by enforcing what they thought were valid government mandates. Jay delivers a message of responsibility and warning for all employers to ensure they have covered their own backsides in the way they enforced increasingly unlawful mandates. https://discernable.io/jay-vidanage-employers-are-liable-for-mandates/

Something in politics is broken. We all know it. Politicians have become masters of getting elected whilst getting nothing done in the real world. Is there a way to get them to focus on solving actual problems rather than chasing polls and keeping their jobs? Iain Walker is the Executive Director of the New Democracy Foundation, an independent research organisation that designs and implements 'citizen juries' to various levels of government around the world. In this interview we explored how citizen assemblies are making an impact globally, gradually becoming a viable and accepted method of decision making.

With so much of our world in seeming flux, decay and upheaval, it is becoming popular to ask if we are witnessing the death of the world we always knew. Why do our cultures and institutions pursue relentless 'change' with such zeal? Why are we redefining language and logic to support subjective views? Are we destined for a societal train wreck?

Daniel Lopez is the contributor editor overseeing Australia for U.S. based Jacobin magazine which offers a socialist perspective on politics, economics and culture. He is an active member of the 'Victorian Socialists' party which achieved a remarkable result in the 2022 state election. Daniel visited the Discernable studio to explore the evils that neo-liberalism has wrought on the world, where it came from, and what points of agreement a socialist perspective might have with a free-market libertarian perspective. Of particular concern was generational inequality, with a growing resentment among younger Millennial and GenZ cohorts who feel they are being left behind in a declining world. https://linktr.ee/discernableofficial

Graeme Cann has been at the forefront of combatting domestic violence and child sexual abuse in Australia for 60 years. He is the founder of The Christian Counselling Association of Australia, and has counselled hundreds of victims and perpetrators of child sexual abuse since 1960. Graeme has come to the conclusion that 'power asymmetry' is insufficient to explain domestic violence and child abuse, where guilt and shame often underpin pathological behaviours. In this discussion we explore Graeme's personal experience as a victim of child sexual abuse, the indicators of pedophilia, and why so much child abuse occurs in religious institutions.

These are the stories of ten Victoria Police officers who served in the Vietnam War between 1964 and1972. Plucked from policing the streets of Melbourne, they were expected to serve their mandatory period of national service before returning to Victoria Police with no support, psychological evaluation, or job retraining, often policing protests against the very war they never wanted to serve in, and had just returned from. Many of them rose to the highest ranks within Victoria Police, with some experiencing debilitating and life-long complications from their time in the military. In 2023, Victoria Police formally apologised to them and recognised their service in a series of events called ‘Saluting Their Service'. Guests: 1.

Rob McMullan returns to Discernable to discuss the ongoing drift in society toward 'empathising' and 'caretaking' which ultimately leads to mass dependence. Is Australia destined to become a nation of compliant serfs who are comfortably satiated but totally without agency?

This is a standalone episode summarising the 'Not Above the Law' case against Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and other named politicians and bureaucrats, run by Self Employed Australia over hotel quarantine failures. It is a story of government malfeasance, admission and farce (government prosecuting itself), and ultimately judicial activism where the presiding judge created and offered a defence for government that ultimately led to the case failing because of concerns over the mental welfare of Daniel Andrews and others named in the case. The 57 page judgement makes the point that allowing the case to proceed would cause 'stress of potentially being subjected to prosecution for serious criminal offences' for the named individuals including Daniel Andrews, Jenny Mikakos, Lisa Neville, Martin Pakula, Chris Eccles, Kym Peake, Brett Sutton, Shane Patton, Graham Ashton, Andrew Crisp et al. Justice McDonald goes on to say that if the case proceeds, 'the 20 individuals identified in the First Request may suffer considerable prejudice'.

Three cancelled medical professionals joined us to tell their stories of censorship by the Australian medical system. All three were de-registered by their professional licensing bodies for expressing views divergent from the ‘allowed' opinion. Since their expulsion from medicine, many of their views have become accepted fact though that does little to restore their careers. Dr Paul Oosterhuis practiced Critical Care medicine for more than 32 years in Sydney, Australia. On 3rd September 2021, the Medical Council of NSW suspended his medical registration based on four anonymous complaints submitted to the regulator in relation to his Facebook posts. Dr Robert Brennan taught anatomy and biomedical sciences for a decade before entering medical school and forging a career in mental health care. On 20th September 2021, the Medical Council of NSW suspended his medical registration based on five complaints (four named and one anonymous) in relation to distributing flyers/pamphlets warning about concomitant harms of lockdowns and other Covid-19 measures. Ros Nealon-Cook was a registered psychologist with more than 20 years' experience until 23rd September 2021 when the Psychology Council of NSW suspended her psychology registration, citing 10 anonymous complaints, related to a video she had released outlining serious concerns around harms to children due to the government pandemic response measures. Watch this joint interview to hear about alarming adverse event signals, nudge units and medical manipulation, groupthink and peer pressure, medical ethics and faulty science, population psychology, and the state of Australia's medical fraternity.

Better than QandA is a new format live panel show that appeals to those who want to think deeply about the world today. Tonight's topic 'Impossible Conversations with Peter Boghossian' explores epistemology: how do you know what you know? After demonstrating multiple games of 'street epistemology' we will dive into the 'Sokal Squared' 'Grievance Studies Affair' where James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose and Peter Boghossian successfully published hoax papers in peer-reviewed academic journals to demonstrate the intellectual corruption of academia. Panellists: Peter Boghossian joins us live, all the way from the USA. Peter is a Founding Faculty member at the University of Austin and the director of National Progress Alliance. His teaching pedigree spans more than 25 years and focuses on the Socratic method, scientific skepticism, and critical thinking. Peter's dissertation explored increasing the moral reasoning of prison inmates and aiding their resistance to crime. His most recent book is How to Have Impossible Conversations and his writing can be found in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Scientific American, Time Magazine, National Review, and elsewhere. His work is centred on bringing the tools of professional philosophers to a wide variety of contexts to help people think through what seem to be intractable problems.

Trung Luu spent 24 years investigating crime scenes as a sworn member of Victoria Police. In 2022 Trung was elected to parliament as the Liberal Party's first Vietnamese MP in Victoria. He travelled to Australia by boat as a young refugee and has since built a life and family in the western suburbs of Melbourne. In this sit down we discussed the Liberal Party's attempted expulsion of Moira Deeming MP, the refugee perspective of other refugees arriving by boat and 'skipping the queue', freedom of speech and privacy in Australia and the banning of certain people and subjects.

What is the core promise of Jesus Christ and Christianity? Rather than settle for common caricatures, we invited Bishop Paul Barker to take us to the very centre of the faith where he explained the scandalous claims it makes. What is faith? Is it testable? Does it lean on any empiricism and science or is it purely a 'leap of faith'? What about social justice - is that the key message of Christianity? What does 'believing' mean? Is it merely mental assent or something more? Who is Jesus Christ? Does it really matter or is the rest of the Bible helpful without him? How 'good' do you have to be to get into heaven? What about really bad people? These are the questions that were in my mind approaching this interview, and I found it both surprising and refreshing to hear such a unique exposition of the Christian faith, instead of the strawman we hear in popular culture. The second half of the discussion centred around cultural relevance, whether the world is devolving its standards, and whether all faiths will remain true to their sacred beliefs and texts or become secularised due to cultural pressure. We explored the failings of the modern church, and the loss of the core message of grace. At Discernable we continue to explore different perspectives, beliefs, values and opinions by presenting them in their best light possible so you can make up your own mind.

For 4 years Dr Jereth Kok has been suspended from practising medicine for posting memes, satire, and other Christian religious opinions on social media. Many of these posts centred around transgenderism, sexuality and abortion. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) used an emergency mechanism reserved for use on dangerous doctors who represent a risk to 'the public interest'. Suspended without trial or hearing has meant 4 years of 'legal limbo' for Dr Kok who has been found neither guilty nor innocent by AHPRA. He has since been forced to retrain into an alternative career, so regardless of the eventual tribunal outcome he is unlikely to return to medicine. AHPRA have disclosed that their investigation began when they received 2 anonymous complaints about Dr Jereth Kok's social media posts, and that those two complainants have never been his patients. In this interview we explored the offences alleged by AHPRA, using AHPRA screenshots of Dr Kok's social media posts. Most of them are inarguably absurd, satire, or vanilla statements and the remaining are expositions of his Christian views. We went on to discuss the dangerous reality being set by bodies like AHPRA in censoring doctors and homogenising the ideology of the entire industry, resulting in anti-scientific practices that ignores long-established principles of modern medicine.

This is the story of John - a Queensland Health worker at Gold Coast Hospital (non-patient facing) who is facing dismissal for not taking a second dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, despite booking an appointment and trying to have it. John was advised by multiple medical practitioners including a vaccine expert that he should definitely not take a second dose considering severe adverse reaction he had after the first, which included paralysis. He is now both unable to receive a second dose and unable to work at Gold Coast Hospital who are erroneously claiming, amongst other things, that he has not received a first dose. John has multiple valid medical exemptions including from the Federal Government. As John waits in limbo, his job has already been advertised and has reportedly been filled internally on a permanent basis. John is represented by Samir Banga from Banga legal who joined us to discuss both the case and the status of legal challenges to vaccine mandates in Australia more broadly. Why do so many fail? Will they continue to fail? Are lawyers simply profiteering on the suffering of fired or injured workers? Which forum (courts, tribunals, commissions) are best to start action in? How should you approach them?

Christie Grace is a specialist in RNA and lipid nanoparticles and was a project manager at the top plasmid company in the world manufacturing recombinant proteins such as monoclonal antibodies, CRISPR, SpCas9, gene editing, and IVT mRNA production. For two years Christie has been raising the alarm over harms that can be caused by lipid nanoparticles and has concerns over cold chain management, vaccine production quality assurance/control and the medical community's unwillingness to look at the scientific data. This is a deep and specific conversation delving into the science of lipid nanoparticles which may become the next target for scientific investigation of vaccination injuries and death. *Apologies for the host repeatedly slipping and calling LNPs 'liquid nanoparticles'. Full reference list is available at: https://discernable.io/lipid-nanoparticles-the-real-danger-of-mrna-vaccines We discussed: Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) The structure of an LNP Mass manufacturing LNPs Zeta potential of LNPs leading to leakage into the vascular system and the heart Are lipid nanoparticles safe? The Ostwald effect on lipids How to cause clots and aneurysms Dying suddenly in the absence of metals means lipid growth Why harms were immediately obvious years ago Fibrin, protease reactions and photos of rapid clotting Claims from morticians of long, stringy clots Photos of branching clots in lungs Why clots are only associated with AstraZeneca and not Pfizer Excess of negatively charged mRNA resulting in clots CDC issues new warning advisory for clots Why adverse reactions are rare 'Death batches' and TGA (Aust) FOI releases showing fragments of junk mRNA How cold chain transport of mRNA vaccines works How to make a vaccine Protein misfolding in the lab and in the body What is the definition of 'vaccine'? Genetic therapeutics How do our cells know when to stop producing spike protein? Finding spike protein around the body Gaslighting women over disruptions to their menstrual cycles Japanese FOI data on lipids concentrating in organs Cardiac myocytes that take up lipids How the vaccine rollout could have been done better Steel-manning the other side Extrapolating LNP damage into the future Linearised DNA (helix straightened) that could cause long term impacts Lean body composition associated with higher risk of inflammation response Distinguishing Long Covid from vaccine injury 'The spawning pit of degradation' 'The amygdala of the internet' Malfeasance and culture inside Big Pharma Silencing of scientists The Fauci emails Directed evolution and the Pfizer leaks Is the Chinese CCP propaganda correct for once? Confirmation bias, self reflection and epistemological query Comparing the scientific honesty of both sides How does science progress if it won't question itself? Hope for the future of medicine

Lauren Dry is a specialist in nervous system and unconscious-driven behaviours. She joined Discernable to explore why so many people are 'stuck' post-pandemic and acting emotionally and unconsciously. Serving as case study is the paradoxical treatment of Novak Djokovic by angry Australians, and the way humans descend into groupthink, social norms and reactionary grasps for 'safety'. Steered by media and opportunistic governments, populations swing from one 'villain' to another, with some ultimately finding themselves in the arms of 'freedom' movements that are just as manipulative and fear-driven. Is there a way to break free and live aware of our unconscious triggers, motivations and vulnerabilities? Watch the full interview at: https://discernable.io/lauren-dry-why-people-cant-let-go-of-the-pandemic We discussed: The groupthink that condemned Novak Djokovic The Asch conformity experiments Creating social norms that contain no logic The man from Nunawading who can't let go Allowing the 'protector' part of ourselves to take over Fight, Flight, Fawn or Freeze Physical somatic practices before, during and after stress Novak Djokovic made the lightning rod for all threats to our safety Dividing internal 'self' in order to survive Anger over dirty dishes Connecting in uncomfortable conversations Pixar's Inside Out Allowing partial personalities to take over Media and politics needs you in a state of fear Red flag: lack of complexity The 'freedom' movement exploiting people's fears Making self-awareness great again Most of the population is not conscious of their actions Exuding an atmosphere of safety Finding idols and role models Treat your triggers like you treat your children What is authenticity?

Emily Coltraine founded Voice for Victoria - a new media channel that grew to approximately 200,000 Victorian subscribers. Initially conceived as a mental health coping project for Emily, it quickly grew in popularity as many turned to 'Voice' for news and commentary that couldn't be found on legacy or new media channels. Voice for Victoria continues to publish news and educational pieces on Victoria, voting, Australian politics and political culture in general. Watch the full interview: https://discernable.io/voice-for-victoria-reality-in-a-world-of-spin-with-emily-coltraine We discussed: The origins of Voice for Victoria Coping mechanisms Lying data Fear based campaigns NSW Premier not scared enough Trump not scared enough Risks for the immunocompromised The Victorian election result Greens party are 'infants' Making people care about politics Ian Cook and the fight against corruption Authenticity and Fiona Patten (Sex Party, Reason Party) Liberals can't even win their religious minority base John Howard is frozen in time Being recognised in public Taking viewer questions: recessions, mental health, work ethic, education reform, surveillance, memes, dating, future of politics.

As New Media takes off around the world, sometimes it actually scoops legacy media...and with only a fraction of the budget, staff, experience and resources of giant media conglomerates. 6 News is one of those New Media players with their news coverage being syndicated by Australia's national broadcaster (the ABC) as well as commercial networks. The founder of 6 News, Leonardo Puglisi, makes regular appearances on major shows such as The Drum. Despite being only 15 years old, he now leads a national news organisation staffed by young volunteer reporters across Australia, sometimes being the only news organisation to provide rolling coverage of breaking news, as was the case with the Dec 2022 shooting in Queensland where 2 police officers were killed. We sat down with Leo to find out how 6 News came to be, how they achieve 'unbiased' coverage, and how to reach his generation through media.

This is a true tale of theft, drugs and a bakery. Jordan Dittloff made headlines in 2015 for stealing $277,993.58 from 47 clients of his travel agency Ace Travel in Victoria. As an award winning travel agency and a community leader in regional Victoria, Jordan's crimes rocked the Colac community. Many, including his 70 year old future mother in law, lost thousands of dollars saved up for their 'trip of a lifetime'. Trading insolvent, Jordan effectively ran a travel ponzi scheme relying on future holiday bookings to pay for past holiday bookings. Eventually the scheme collapsed and Jordan disappeared, sparking media attention. After 2 weeks he handed himself into police and was bailed pending a court hearing for his crimes. At the same time, Jordan ran a second business: drug dealing in Melbourne, profits from which he used to fund his own drug habit. Whilst on bail, Jordan was arrested as part of Victoria Police drug sting operation in a Melbourne alleyway. In the end the court sentenced Jordan to jail 3 years (20 months non-parole) as well as granting compensation orders for his victims to be repaid. In prison Jordan completed a business degree and in the five years since release is completing a post-graduate law degree and has repaid ~$35,000 to victims. He has worked at the same bakery since release. He now credits his time in prison as a catalyst for reform and is building a drug and alcohol free life of discipline and responsibility unlike his behaviour displayed before prison. Watch the full interview at: https://discernable.io/from-prison-to-pastry-a-fresh-baked-redemption-story-with-jordan-dittloff Other issues we discussed: What prison is really like Criminal justice reform How the different generations see criminal justice How governments respond to community feelings Why we must reject the progressive narrative 'blame the system' for crime Why we must not ban criminal record checks Practising radical honesty The political system self-selects for dishonesty The potential for an honest politician What is freedom?

A short message on light and darkness: Darkness doesn't progress. Light retreats. All it takes for darkness to overcome, is for people to turn their lights out. 'The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing.' Let 2023 be the year you stop hiding whatever light you have.

For 20 years, Luke Donnellan was the Victorian Labor MP for the outer suburban electorate of Narre Warren. He served as the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and Minister for Ports (2014-2018) and then as the Minister for Child Protection and the Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers (2018-2021). Before the Nov 2022 state election, the Labor Party denied Luke preselection for his seat, and was thus pushed out of parliament altogether. Luke joined Discernable for an open conversation about the lives of everyday Victorians. What do they care about? Why do they keep electing Labor governments? We also delved into the ethics of protests, social justice, and the corruption tendencies of long term governments. As the Minister for the most vulnerable cohort of Victorians during Covid-19 (the elderly), we also explored his thinking on vaccine mandates, segregation and community safety. Watch the full interview at: https://discernable.io/luke-donnellan-mp-labor-minister-in-the-daniel-andrews-government We discussed: The grass roots instincts of Daniel Andrews Door knocking your electorate Pandering to minorities in the electorate Labor/Liberal comes in cycles Where the Liberal Party went wrong Door knocking is the key to success The future for both political parties: the outer suburbs Why the north and west of Melbourne have underdeveloped infrastructure Who Victorians voted for - the rise of minor parties The baseball bats for Daniel Andrews never came Everyday Australians don't care about corruption The dismissal of Casey Council which is still in caretaker mode Regulatory capture and systemic 'grey corruption' in Victoria Stale governments become corrupt governments Renewal inside the Labor Party of Victoria Factional wars: Labor Socialist Left vs Labor Right Liberals are stuck in the Baby Boomer generation Australians have moved left The Victorian Socialists' weird success in the election Greens taking over country electorate of Polwarth Labor Party surprised at the election result The internal mood toward Daniel Andrews How Luke was pushed out of parliament Driven by Social Justice Rugby as early intervention against crime Pacific Islanders: God and Rugby Child Protection: Foster Care, Kinship Care and interventions A billion dollars for wire rope barriers on highways Irrational objections from the Country Fire Authority In politics you write your own rules The Victoria crackdown on protests Chinese protests vs Melbourne protests Relative ethics: what the people want they get Are lockdowns morally good or bad?

How do left-wing/progressive/woke people think? Is there a way for the right wing to speak to the left? Why do they misunderstand one another? Rob McMullan joins us to discuss the psychological differences of those loosely defined as politically left and right wing. Ultimately, Rob's hope is that the moderates on either side will find a way to communicate and cooperate. We discussed: What is 'the collective good'? The left have no interest in cooperation Claims of 'hate speech' Each side is blind to the other Left Wing Caretaking vs Right Wing Capitalising Case study: what is marriage? Fairy tale thinking on world politics How conservatives should talk to the left wing Interpersonal empathy does not scale A dysfunctional marriage between the left and the right Case study: would Dan Bilzerian care about a speech on moralism? Gina Rinehart calls out Netball Australia Conservatives in power are too comfortable How to speak to the left: emotional validation The lack of social consensus = pain for the left Differentiating the 'woke left' from the sensible left wing Freedom from the law of scarcity 'Boomerservatives' The left has a greater verbal ability than conservatives Wokeism is the evolution of religion The Star Trek reality The life of a Twitter worker: caretaking beyond reason How conservatives should speak to the left Powerful conservatives have checked out The left will double down even when it 'hits their hip pockets' Empathetic Thinking vs Systematic Thinking Daniel Andrews' hypocrisy of excluding some Victorians The long arc of social technology created by the empathy brains The empathetic herd How women speak to one another 'Herds vs packs' and the differing strategies and moralities 'Individuals vs the collective' is incorrect Purity spirals We need a new aristocracy to balance the left The left should pay with 'gratitude' Solutions for the future of Australia A new strategy: Separate and Co-operate Vaccine mandates driven by social and herd consensus -------------------- Get our Christmas box! https://teamhuman.au/products/the-discernable-usb Grab some of our awesome TeamHuman merch at: https://teamhuman.au Join our Private Community: https://discernable.locals.com Purchase tickets (and replays) to our Town Halls: https://discernable.io/townhall

Joined in studio by Mulgrave candidates Ian Cook and Premier Daniel Andrews, we go over the bold predictions by our election panel on what will happen in Victoria, and where the key upsets will occur. Matt also dives into the Labor and Liberal policy websites comparing the psychological approach of each. The Labor website treats voters incredibly differently from the Liberal website and represents how each party sees the electorate.

Peter Fam is a human rights lawyer from Sydney, Australia. He believes that today's society has become detached from the principles our species has upheld and respected for thousands of years. We took a particularly deep dive into the origin of human rights, natural law and how that is evolving in today's post-modern society that is reimagining the human rights landscape. It forced us to ask deep epistemological questions to trace the authority of self-determination and the origin of truth. Watch the full interview at: https://discernable.io/the-origin-of-human-rights-with-human-rights-lawyer-peter-fam We discussed: Fasting and food shortages Human rights law based in ancient Egyptian society Greco-Roman natural law Society's attempt to enshrine natural law When governments create exceptions to human rights Can human rights ever be granted? Post modernism and the erosion of natural rights Vaccine mandates and human rights Australian peer pressure and its convict past Contact tracing through Woolworths supermarket loyalty cards Privacy as a lightning rod for human rights Schools requiring fingerprints to enter bathrooms Australians don't value human rights Collapse in trust for medical system Parallel systems always arise under absolutism Lockdown attitudes are not sustainable The psychotic on both sides who are consumed by fear The crash that western societies must have The inevitable collapse of societies when human rights are trampled Blue Zones on earth Lifespan vs Healthspan Empires that succeed - the British Empire? The longest human society - the Indigenous Australia How should we measure human 'success'? Objective truth and human values Self-determination a modern cross-cultural value, aka 'Free will' What normal people want - comfort Useless international conventions on human rights When only 10% of population dissent, societies change The fires that bring renewal How to survive long cycles Is there a God?
