Prudent politics

It's prudent to treat every politician as corrupt and a liar until their actions satisfy you otherwise.

Look up for trouble

Wherever you find a citizen doing something good you'll find a bureaucracy wanting to control it.

Unavoidable sunrise

The day keeps coming. You can't get out of its way. 

Side by side

Men look at the stars. Women look at the moon. 

Both dream of the heavens. 

Who’s fishing?

Show someone they're a fish and you'll save them for a day. Teach them how people phish and you'll save them for a lifetime.

Attention

If you want to keep someone interested make sure there are patterns they can recognise even if they don't exist.

Long term evil

Bureaucrats think in decades, voters think in months.

Form future allies now

Always shake the dunny man's hand.

Fight to the death

No one wants to die but I'd rather face a predator than a parasite. 

Useful information

Organising information is crucially different to actively using information.

Early murmurs

Words and concepts are often, not always, precursors to propagandising populations to accept plans of the elite.

A square kneel

The king doesn't trust people to kneel at home he wants to see them kneeling in the square.

Surely so

Acknowledging we all have biases doesn't mean we can't discuss issues but it does temper certainty.

Feeding revolution

Nothing feeds the hunger for change like an empty stomach.

Finally done

I do what I can do and once I do it's done.

Beneath the surface

If you stir the pot you can see the crap.

Successful gradients

Slowly build capacity or slowly lose capacity.

Healthy questions

Science demands we ask questions to keep it healthy. Feelings based censorship is a sickness.

Field effects

Sometimes we can skip through a minefield.

At other times we blow up on our first step.

Quick, slowly

Sometimes you have to slow down to go faster.
