I and others know the truth.

No, you don't & you wouldn't know if it fell on top of you. None of what you replied contains any truth. Integrity is a foreign word for you. Hypocrisy is what keeps you going ! Racism is your DNA.

Judging from his posts, ttbn appears to be more inclined to favour some form of authoritarian rule rather than the freedom (seen as laxity) generally associated with democracy.

He now draws a parallel between the various stages of an individual’s human brain development (that ceases prior to age 30), and the fossilisation of individual opinion.

How people form their opinions and decide that they “know” versus what they “think”, “believe” or “doubt” that something is true, is a field of research known by specialists as epistemic cognition.

Epistemic cognition ranges from absolutist thinking, the belief that only one claim can be right, to multiplist thinking, that more than one claim could be right, to evaluativist thinking, that assertions can be evaluated in terms of both logic and evidence.

Under that definition, ttbn would clearly classify as an “absolutist thinker” without the slightest shadow of a doubt.

In 2023, a team of researchers studied the way different generations in Romania determined the truth of information following the country’s transition from an authoritarian communist regime to a democracy.

Not surprisingly, they found that those who were born and raised after the transition, were more likely than those who were born before the transition, to compare and evaluate different perspectives before deciding who or what was right.

The researchers added that they believed their findings could also help explain why unfettered access to information, social media and a plethora of personal opinions sometimes lead in the opposite direction — toward absolutist thinking and authoritarian politics.

They noted that “along with the rise of the internet and social media, there has been, in the United States, a rise in the importance of personal opinion, along with a decline in the importance of agreed-upon facts”.

And while the trend toward increasing sources of information and opinions in Romania has been associated with the democratisation and opening up of society, in the U.S., the indiscriminate application of the principle that everyone has a right to their own opinion has led to information silos and absolutist thinking.

Quid, then, the future of US democracy ?

My impression is of yet another example of cult leader Albo treating democracy as an inconvenience, something to be sidestepped.

On this latest occasion the intention seems to have been to keep secret the granting of a few thousand tourist visas to Gaza residents. Albo has been reinforcing this view by steadfastly refusing to address questions on the matter in federal parliament.

Dutton is being criticised as lacking humanity, but why then wasn't the granting of visas openly promoted to Australian's as a humanitarian act and endorsing the virtue of Labor over the coalition? Instead, it has been kept hidden.

Hiding such matters shows a contempt for democratic process upon which the Australian nation was founded. People do not deserve to be treated like mushrooms, which is just how cult leader Albo is treating them with an ongoing refusal to answer questions. Albo is a grub.

Not so Fester, the government announced that there would be a limited number of visa's granted to both Israelis and Palestinians some time ago. What the Noalition is banging on about is trying to link all Palestinians to Hamas implying they must be "terrorists". Disgusting behaviour for political advantage. Dutton would sell a loyal supporter like you down the river if he thought it would win him a couple of votes.

A simple question: “Why would we be considered racist for refusing to take people that Muslim nations refuse to take?”

. It’s not racist to insist that our refugee program assists rather than damages social cohesion.

. It’s not racist to insist that our refugee program targets those in need whose values most closely align with our own.

. It’s not racist to insist that the safety of the Australian community must not be compromised by our refugee program.

. And it’s not racist to insist that where proper security checks cannot be done, people should not be admitted.
