Retrospectoscope and Robodebt and Public Service reviews/reports all put me in mind of Don Watson's scathing critiques of language: Weasel Words; Bendable Learnings; and Death Sentences!
The exchange of e-mails of Cameron Murray and Paul Frijters reminds me that it was their 2017 book Game of Mates which I came across a couple of years later which explained to me much of why Australia seemed to have become a tasteless kind of political and economic mess during my nearly two decades through the 1990s and 2000s in Japan. Your added comments on how the NDIS became the mess it seemingly is now made a lot of sense - and in the meantime the unscrupulous have grown fat off the misfortunes of those least able to manage their situations... I enjoyed part watching the Cher documentary; the DeepSeek AI situation vis-à-vis the US tech-giant oligarchs and the essay on Simone de Beauvoir... Thanks.
"something is more ‘scientific’ if it’s more mathematical."
Similar thing bot logic and analytical philosophy as they call it nowadays, but really, in a game metaphor, it is just a type of minecrafting the technology tree,
the more continental deconstruction of course, like suicide chess, does it in reverse
both are textmachines, which LLMs will glad ghost for you without a spirit of reason in charge
A reasonable amount. I don't like it. It's also got a rogue apostrophe — a typo I perpetrate a great deal. I've been trying to cultivate vices I can die happy with (or should I say dye happy with) and I thought that might be a good one.
Thanks for pointing me to the Sarah Blakewell book, which sits unread on my bookshelf. I’m going through a period of trying to concentrate more on the real work of writing and part of that is quiet reading at night, reading unlike my usual torrential downpour. I’m reading a sci-fi series, a police procedural series, and now I should add SB.

Whats wrong with this sentence?
"Of it’s kind it’s actually pretty good."
