Thanks Margo. A lot more to discuss in there, but hopefully it was a useful exploration that sets up a few different follow-up pieces. Appreciate your feedback and support.
Another thought provoking article Daniel..besides the struggle between authority & power & I would also add that we lack the necessary leadership (political & organisational) to steer us thru all the myriad of challenges being faced worldwide. Leadership isn’t solely about power or authority. It’s about making or taking a stand. Here in Oz we’ve seen so many examples of this lack .. not just since Oct.7.. that the rise of far left (The Greens) & power being harnessed by the union movt CFMEU) is seriously worrying. Personally I’m feeling both angry & despairing! The spectre of either Biden OR Trump becoming the most powerful person in the world in 5months is scary.
But Daniel this article gives me some context into how we’ve allowed to happen. And the link back to the Reformation proves the definition of ‘stupidity’.
Thanks for making sure to read this a few hours post-op! Well said on the leadership point too, we're living in a bit of a vacuum, and the last part of #3 alludes to that as well. Thanks ab.
As always Daniel you raise much to consider in these challenging times. Times that have so many moving parts that it’s so hard to know what and when the new world will look like. Well done on your piece in raising your thoughts so eloquently as you do.
Hi Daniel
Just what we need at the moment, a chance to make sense of the muddle and mess that the world is in now in a measured, thoughtful and erudite lens
Thanks
Margo

Thanks for connecting some dots for me.
Your proud father!
