What a load of nonsense from a righwing think tank, put up by a Trumpet. Measuring the Australian way of life based on mostly economic factors. Government spending and debt levels are no indication of quality of living Australians enjoy. Where is health and education mentioned, nothing on inclusion or equality, nah, its more important to own a flash car than to be healthy and educated. I was "shocked" not to see beer and meat pie consumption as a leading indicator of Australia's way of life.

Aiden, thanks for the link, ttbn would be too ashamed to let people read the "report". I did a quick read, but it was laughable.

p/s "The number 42 is, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything", calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years. Unfortunately, no one knows what the question is."

I think 'Deep Thought' got it wrong, personally I put the answer at 87, what do you think Aiden? ttbn, there is a case put up by many Trumpsters like you that the answer is 74 the age of the Great Donald.

Aidan,

Asians see Australia as geographically part of Asia. It's all about culture, ethnicity and economy, not geography.

What did you and others think Australian society would look like at the end of 40 years of protracted Asianization (aka Australian Multiculturalism) or what I call the Great Asianization Period (1980-2020) in Australian history?

We are now an Asian nation-state and I'm only asking that everyone should acknowledge that fact.

Actually, it might be just the reason for Australia stop being a British dominion and become an Asian republic.

How does the People's Republic of Australia sound?

Aidan,

Anybody smarter than you (just about everyone) would have opened the IPA site and clicked on 'download the research report here' for the 58 page report, which, apparently is well above your reading ability. I even spelt out that the report showed the decline in 23 of 25 areas named. You couldn't absorb that, either.

You are 'skeptical' (American spelling) of the IPA because you are a Left-wing bigot. You know nothing about their 'track record' because you concentrate on leftist, mainstream media to tell you what to think, you puppet. I doubt that you have ever read a book.

You marked yourself as an idiot long ago when you started talking about "sovereign debt" and other economic matters that you are totally ignorant of. You embarrass yourself every time you post.

ttbn,

I asked if you could give me some examples of a Technocracy that have existed?

You have been unable to do so simply because it is an imaginary concept invented by some slow-minded engineer who had no training in the Arts things, especially sociology.

Apart from that, how are things down at the nursing home? Don't forget the Noon bell - gruel time!

Mr.Opinion,

I don't know why you think it is tricky to suggest that people live in nursing homes when they do not. It is insensitive to people who have to live in them, and overlooks the possibility that you could end up in one yourself; although your current rants suggest that you might need confining to a more secure institution than a nursing well before old age.

Your requests to provide you with information on something that began in the 1930s, was subdued by the defeat of fascism, was resurrected in the the 1970s, and is now going full blast at Davos, continually in the WEF, is proof that your claims about your education have always been one of the biggest lies ever told on OLO. You are as ratty as Number 1405 and Aidan.

ttbn,

You are an allusive little devil.

Just admit that you cannot give any historical examples of a Technocracy.

Simply because they only exist in your imagination.
