What's this all about?

This blog is purely for me to publish any original works that I create. I want to use this to improve my writing skills along with sharing any ideas that I feel are important.

The things that I am interested in and will discuss are anything from religion, philosophy, culture, race, war and many more. Nothing is too big or too important for me to think about.

Ideas are important to share. Feel free to follow me and see what ideas I have to share with the world. Discussion is welcome.

The Age of (dis)information.

Our civilisation is changing. Rapidly. There are different eras that intelligent species inevitably go through. I’m sure there are more official, or accurate definitions out there, but here are a few I have thought of. There’s the primal stage where the dominant species of the planet has yet to become as intelligent as they will - tribal warfare and violence reigns supreme. There’s the middle ages where religion ruled largely on the basis of fear and where the foundations of reason and enlightenment have yet to be established. Currently, we are living in the age of information. The age of information is as big a step forward as the industrial revolution was, if not bigger. I’d say it really started to kick off at the beginning of this century. The marking of this age is the fact that we are able to find any piece of information at almost any time. It’s a tool that was never afforded to previous generations. But with great power comes great… corruption. We are in the age of information.

No, Not Everyone Should Vote in Elections.

With New Zealand elections right around the corner, I see a big push from our government to get as many people voting as possible. The political parties are looking to grab as many votes as they can to attain more power and influence. But in terms of our democracy, should we be encouraging everyone to vote? Can you think of a group of people who you wouldn’t want to vote and who should be discouraged from voting? I know I can. I know this because I was one of those people who should have been discouraged from voting. For the last two elections I can admit that when I voted, I effectively threw away my vote. I didn’t properly look into it all. I didn’t care. I didn’t feel like it affected me in any meaningful way. I just voted because “that’s the thing to do” and the political party that I voted for was that which my family and those around me had always voted for. There was no original input to which way I voted. Fortunately, since then I have started taking an interest in politics, c

My Political Journey (so far)

This is a story about change. As expressed previously, politics was something I was never really into. I had little time for it. I didn’t feel that it had a big impact on my life so I switched off when a political topic came up. It wasn’t until I was on holiday with my brother a number of years ago that, after shrugging in response to a political question, I was told I should take more of an interest in it. So… that’s what I did. I took a political test at around end of 2015. This is where I landed. A full on communist, right? As one can imagine though, once one gets more involved in a topic, their views change. Once I became more informed about the specifics of things, I started to see things differently. Needless to say, I was rather shocked when Donald Trump won in 2016. There was a large group of people that was seeing something that I couldn’t. He had a message that resonated with certain people. What was that message? There are some who are still scratching their heads trying t
