Remember the wise saying “Man is the only creature smart enough to create artificial food and dumb enough to eat it”?

And, of course, because not even the CSIRO can conjure something from nothing, artificial food will still require feed stock (no pun intended) and massive amounts of energy to produce.
Where will this come from? Equally, as with all things touched by government, if something is simple cheap and easy ( think sunlight, photosynthesis, animal conversion ) they will find a way to complicate it, make things hideously expensive, add many levels of bureaucracy and then control who has access.

The headline says it all
https://dailysceptic.org/2024/10/17/forget-about-reading-books-teenagers-arent-even-bothering-with-the-internet-anymore/
But can it be true? The smartphone is now the main device and it is very often used for entertainment and social media but are teenagers really so uninterested in the world around them that they don’t ask things any more?

Last summer we had a nothing burger cyclone [to my knowledge there was no structural damage] but the city’s power grid was largely destroyed. Large areas were without power for three days. Our Premier promised that there would be compensation paid to [non]consumers but neither money nor explanation were forthcoming.
The damage was not obvious, ie with the poles and wires, so must have been in the subs and transformers. It was said that those on Magnetic Is. [8km out in the bay] could see the transformers exploding.

Unlike hitech companies switching over to modular nuclear reactors to power their energy intensive data centres, supermarkets and oil companies still seem keen on burnishing their green credentials

” In March 2019, the Mail on Sunday, published by Associated Newspapers Ltd, launched a campaign to root out ‘medical misinformation and disinformation’. A five-page article in their Good Health supplement focused on endorsing statin drugs that are prescribed by doctors to reduce cholesterol.”

Doctors win a battle against the Daily Mail who had accused them of peddling misinformation and it reached such a height that the Doctors good names were at risk.
I think there are several interesting things about this story, not only that Doctors were prepared to fight a 5 year long legal battle, but that like so much else in Food, medicine, (climate change?) what is believed can radically alter over time. In this instance that cholesterol is not the killer it was thought to be, but is needed and is benign.

The American voting systems seem to beyond the comprehension of many here in Oz. A major difference is in Oz we have a media blackout of political advertising and polling trends 2 weeks before election date so not to influence people with “other” peoples ideas. i.e. If candidate A is leading and you don’t like them rush out and vote for candidate B.
The idea being that people should make up their own minds rather than be influenced by media personalities, charismatic individuals or polling trends .
