Some of the things young people under 16 in Australia won’t now have access to in Youtube because they cannot create an account… how is this an improvement?
We all know the real agenda.
I listen to Bitcoin interviews and streamed Bitcoin events often. You? 🧡🤔
Ugly, horrible people. I can barely stand to watch them. All their evidence is based on a single report that they themselves generated, using dubious questioning methods and selection of participants, etc.
Watch in full, from mainstream news media, if you can handle it. Plus where's the Australian flag 🇦🇺?
Right, it's time to get barefoot on the grass in sunshine again. 🤬😡🫣
Again... if young people can't have a YouTube account then they will be subjected to every advertisement in every video! How is that an improvement?
There's also talk of lowering voting age to 16, yet they'll be shut off from online social discourse leading up to elections. 😳
Hope they all catch on to Nostr. 🧡
Disgusting 🤢 https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/youtube-will-be-included-in-the-under-16s-social-media-ban/
When YouTube users don't have an account they are subjected to advertisements in every video viewed.
How's that great for young people? 🧡

Now, we need to keep an eye on what's going on while they distract the masses with this news. 🤔🤨
Well, What Do You Know? Plato’s Theaetetus
From Counter Currents
3,213 words “What do I know?” asked French thinker Michel de Montaigne in the 16th century. Two hundred years later, the German philosopher Immanuel Kant refined the question, asking rather, “What can I know?”. In philosophy, however, there is rarely anything new under the sun, and this was not a new query. Both Montaigne’s and […]

I asked ChatGPT...
Philosophical question: What can I know?
Here's the response:
That question—**"What can I know?"**—is one of the most fundamental in philosophy. It's at the heart of **epistemology**, the study of knowledge. Let’s explore it from a few key philosophical angles:
---
### 1. **Descartes and Radical Doubt**
René Descartes began his search for certainty by doubting everything he could:
> "I think, therefore I am" (*Cogito, ergo sum*)
He concluded that the only thing he could not doubt was **his own existence as a thinking being**. Everything else—sensory experiences, external reality, even mathematics—could be called into question.
So from this view, you can know:
* That you are **thinking**
* That **you exist** (at least as a mind)
---
### 2. **Empiricism (Locke, Hume, etc.)**
Empiricists argue that knowledge comes from **sense experience**. You know things because you perceive them through your senses.
But this leads to skepticism about:
* Whether your senses **reliably** reflect reality
* Whether there's anything **beyond your perceptions**
So, empirically, you can know:
* Your **experiences**
* Maybe some regularities in those experiences (e.g., fire is hot)
---
### 3. **Kant’s Synthesis**
Immanuel Kant tried to bridge rationalism and empiricism. He argued:
* We never know things **in themselves** (*noumena*)
* We only know things **as they appear to us** (*phenomena*), structured by our minds
So what can you know?
* The **structure of experience** (space, time, causality)
* Not reality in itself, but how it appears **to human minds**
---
### 4. **Contemporary Epistemology**
Modern philosophers often break down knowledge as:
> **Justified True Belief (JTB)** — though this was challenged by the **Gettier problem**
Now, knowledge is seen as:
* **Belief**
* That is **true**
* And **justified** (in some defensible way)
* Possibly requiring **no luck** or **reliable formation**
So: You can know what’s **justifiably believed and true**—but drawing the line is tricky.
---
### 5. **Pragmatism (James, Dewey, Rorty)**
Knowledge is what **works**—what helps you navigate the world effectively. It doesn't require certainty.
So you know:
* What is **useful** in practice
* What’s **coherent** with the rest of what you believe
---
### Summary: *What Can You Know?*
* **You exist** (as a thinker)
* **You experience** things
* Some beliefs may be **justified and true**
* But many things remain **uncertain**, and **context**, **coherence**, or **pragmatic usefulness** might matter more than absolute certainty.

You can't fix stupid. A tsunami is not the same as wind waves. 😳🫣

Agree. The video is more about mistakes people have made, not so much about how many. 🧡✨

Life Power Tip
Demonstrate compassion towards others. In today’s busy, fast and throw-away society we can be too quick to judge or form opinion about another. Be a little slower to ‘react’ and stop for a moment to think about how you could otherwise ‘respond’ to another person’s words or actions. Do you really need to be so quick with anger or annoyance? Do you really know the perspective from which the other person operates and their recent or past experiences that are the source of their behaviour?
Action
Get in the habit of pausing and breathing deeply and slowly.
Challenge
Do one distasteful job today. One that you have been putting off.
Quote
Giving up doesn’t always mean you are weak. Sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go. -Unknown
Clearing
Clear and clean a bench or table in your home or office.
Question
How are those New Year resolutions of yours, moving along?
Affirmation

GN everyone.
Beginning 2026, under age 16 children won't be allowed on various social media platforms in Australia. Probably for the purpose of all citizens needing to ID themselves online to verify age. So maybe it's a test run to see what system they'll use. 🧡✨🤬🤨
Amazing life and still going strong. My husband has Waiting for a Friend as his ringtone https://youtu.be/MKLVmBOOqVU
Loved the Scorsese documentary Shine A Light. 🧡
Know that feeling, I grew up in Holland. 🤣🧡
Some pelicans flying over the house today (videos), plus enjoy a few 'cloud watching' pics from yesterday.
Had amazing rainfall and winds last night. Today was sunny all day, the sky and plants all looked so clean and sparkly. 🧡✨ It was very cold though. 🥶

Just watched Don't Tell (2017) https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5495040/
A well told story. Usually I am not much impressed by Australian movies (there are exceptions of course), yet this is definitely one of the better ones. The direction was excellent and it was well cast too. 🧡✨
