The politics of "human capital" policy reform
In Australia at the moment the state and federal governments have committed to a new wave of economic reform that focusses on 'human capital' as the way to maintain economic growth. Is this a clever way to get governments to take social policy seriously, or dodgy way to make us work harder for longer?

But I'm on your *side*.....or, why clever people can't be racist.
Meditations on the awkward questions of cultural tourism and cultural patronage, and how the concepts of racism, and subsequently of whatever other "-ism", including sexism and homophobia interact with self-perceptions and self-presentations. Key questions that recur are "can acts be separated from people", and "what is it to be a 'good person' in these terms, and is it a defence or a prevention, a regimen or an essential characteristic", but the focus is pretty loose.

Why isn't sexuality a paraphilia?
If you can't get off without a specific object, act or body part you have a paraphilia. If you can't get off without a partner of a specific gender you have a sexuality. Why is there a distinction?

Is it actually possible to permanently overcome beliefs with which one was indoctrinated as a child? This is a question I've been struggling with a bit lately, particularly with the thread on atheism giving me another opportunity to assess the worldview that I was indoctrinated with as a child - namely atheism.
