"Most people don't recognize the depths of their failure until long after they've been in there." - Futurist Jim Carroll"

So the question on most people's minds is - when will all of this end?

Go on, admit it. If you are like most people who follow me and read these daily posts, you get up every morning and check the news to see if a certain event has transpired.

So far, no.

And you check again the next day.

And the next.

So where are we now?

What's the path out?

No one knows. But I do know it will take quite some time. I've long learned through observation that most people don't understand they're on the wrong path until it's far too late.

Alcoholics and addicts always face a tortuous path to acceptance of their condition. Entire nations become convinced they can follow a path of destroying their economy to "improve" it.

Let's break down the psychological landmines that is "delayed failure recognition.....

Unfinished business

"A shameful death after a supermarket scuffle shines a light on Australia’s unfinished business. From compensation for the Stolen Generations to Indigenous recognition, Australia must follow words with actions."

"There is unfinished business in this country, and there can be no excuses for not knowing or understanding. We need to change direction and remove the burden from the most vulnerable."

"In a land of home improvers surely the principle of fixing the foundations first if you want to really close the gaps is obvious."

Live #FacialRecognition cameras may become ‘commonplace’ as police use soars

The expansion comes despite #facial #recognition failing to be referenced in any act of parliament.

Campaigners claim the #police have been allowed to “self regulate” their use of the technology.

Officers have in the past used a setting that was subsequently shown to disproportionately misidentify black people.
