Kew Events, Unitarian Sunday

[tcpip]

There was a shooting a few hundred metres down the road last night, which is quite unusual for this leafy middle-class inner suburb. To say the least it seems rather targetted, but it does make me give second-thoughts to my late night Ingress walks. I was pulled up by the police the other night who were wondering what I was doing in the wandering around the Yarra Bend Bat Colony in the middle of the night. When I rather sheepishly explained that I was playing a game, they knew exactly what it was all about.

Sunday consisted of visiting the Unitarians to hear Hans Baer speak on "democratic eco-socialism". I am not particularly convinced of the latching of environmentalism to a fairly orthodox Marxism. A richer tradition could be found in the romantic socialism (e.g., William Morris), or anarchism (e.g., Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy). After the service, a well-attended meeting of the Philosophy Forum witnessed Rohan McLeod give a presentation on Radical Self-Responsibility followed by good discussion. On topic, the ANZUUA newsletter Quest was released which included letters by myself and Nigel Sinnott in response to a pro-astrology address by Rev. Darlison, who gave the keynote address to the ANZUUA 2013 conference.

I confuse the elderly people on this road, - go out wearing a variety of costumes, often with huge bags and crates of theatre stuff, then come home in the middle of the night, and sit in my friends car chatting about theatre for another 2 hours...
