The Aboriginal drinking is far less of a problem to society as a whole in comparison to the inferior mentality of drug abusers of all ethnicities however, Westerners are to most destructive with white Australians leading the tables.
Not even wars have caused as much damage as drugs, too many are just not switched on enough to grasp the seriousness of the situation !
The Anti Western outfits are having laughing fits !

Ayn Rand (Rosenbaum) defines altruism differently to some. She is against donating money to people that aren't producing, and don't have the prospect of producing anything ever. The way Rand puts it "against altruism but supports charity". She believes that charity needs to be at the givers choice.

I think that there is a lot of misrepresentation of Rand by Marxist groups.

Some principles...

- It's been said that Libertarian's give more than other groups,
- no one lives forever,
- even a rich mans family may not have the ability to produce,
- if a rich man believes in making things easier for the next generation of the nation then there are things they can do to continue this value creation,
- rich people are probably the better ones to make the decision on how to continue the common wealth in future generations,
- some say that people start businesses because they look for ways to create value in the community,
- a better way to help a family member that doesn't have ability is to create a better community (than to give them the money because they will just waste it).
- Rand seems to believe that giving free money to unproductive people just spreads nihilism and death and evil (that doesn't mean that you give all the money to the most productive people in society, but you should encourage everyone to be productive according to their ability).
- Giving money to productive people creates cheaper/ better products that the whole society benefits from.
- John Galt's speech has some similarities with the speech from the "Wachowski Sisters" movie "V for Vendetta".
- Ayn Rand seems to borrow some ideas from Nietzsche but doesn't acknowledge it perhaps because she is Hebrew. Hebrew philosopher Jeffrey Kaplan is seemingly more generous to Nietzsche and his Genealogy Of Morals (where he discusses the Priestly vs Knightly Codes). It seems that Rand has used the Priestly/ Knightly Codes as Objectivism

- Rand admits to borrowing from Aristotle- probably his conceptualization of freedom (compared to JSM's version of freedom), and some other concepts.
- Rand apparently rejected Marxism, having lived through the Communist Revolution, in spite of many fellow Hebrew's supporting it.
- Rand was closely associated with Hebrew Federal Reserve Chairman "Alan Greenspan".
- Rand talks about so called "objectivist emotions", "objectivist teamwork", "objectivist virtues".
- When Bill Gates was younger he echoed some of Rand's idea's perhaps without fully understanding them.
- Rand apparently obtained post graduate qualifications in philosophy.
- Rand seems to see much taxation as forced altruism.
- Rand objects to creeping and incompetent government spending and red tape, that seems to finally end in state control of everything, by academic tenured theoreticians (Platonic Abstraction) without the checks of Aristotelian Empiricism (as embodied in Raphael's School Of Athens).

In the 2021 Australian Census there were 984,000 Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia which is only
3.8% of the total population. And yet we find that these people
continue to face high incarceration rates and other
numerous other problems.

They continue to be disproportionately represented in our justice
systems. We are given a variety of factors that puts Australian
Aborigines adults and children onto criminal justice conveyor
belts in large numbers.

Some of the reasons given include:

Spending time in and out of home as a child. Having contact
with police early in life. Being a victim of violence and
abuse. Experiencing poverty. Having poor or no safe housing.
Poor school education. Having a mental health or cognitive
disability and not getting support. Early introduction to
alcohol and drugs.

And the cycle just continue.

It is a dire situation. Yet there is hope.
Inspectors of prisons, children's commissioners,
the disability royal commission,
Aboregional legal services, legal and Aboriginal controlled
organisations are all urging governments to address poverty
and disadvantage, improve educational opportunities, stop
the police being the frontline service for mental health
and disability matters and listen to and act on Aboriginal
community knowledge and insight.

Studies have been done all saying the same thing.

If some people are suicidal, and some organisations are suicidal, then some cultures are suicidal.

Research suggests that suicide is influenced by a
combination of factors that overlap and interact.
We need more insights to guide our future efforts
to guide suicide prevention.
