    Ps Braam Botha - The End of the World: Ethics, Ego and Conflict

    Ps Braam Botha - The End of the World: Ethics, Ego and Conflict

    With so much of our world in seeming flux, decay and upheaval, it is becoming popular to ask if we are witnessing the death of the world we always knew.



    Why do our cultures and institutions pursue relentless 'change' with such zeal? Why are we redefining language and logic to support subjective views?



    Are we destined for a societal train wreck?



    Senior Pastor of Berwick Church of Christ, Braam Botha, discusses ethics, homosexuality, egoism, utilitarianism, government, conflict and morality in this 90 min interview.



    This episode is for you if you're interested in a perspective that takes aim at the aggrandisement of 'SELF' and calls for a radical departure from the momentum of popular culture.

    Dr James Stewart: The Truth About Cannabis

    Dr James Stewart is an Australian doctor at the forefront of plant-based medicine and medical cannabis.

    As a General Practitioner he found pharmaceutical solutions frustrating in their narrow focus and lengthy side effect profiles and began to incorporate plant-based treatments in his practice.

    He is now sought out by celebrities and business leaders who are looking for expert advice and care when it comes to medical cannabis and other plant-based treatments.

    The People's Project: Placebo Vaccines, Hospital Crisis, Crashing Fertility, Racist Medicine

    On tonight's show with Obstetrician Dr Tom Cade and paramedic turned doctor Dr Sean Runacres, brought to you by Intensive Care at Home:

    Global fertility rates have been crashing around the world for a long time. Why?



    THE AUSTRALIAN HOSPITAL CRISIS

    All around the country hospitals are under pressure, with many reaching crisis levels. What can people do to 'protect' the health system or is that just an inversion of morality?



    RACIST MEDICINE

    New Zealand has decided to award preferential treatment to Maoris on surgery waiting lists. Is this ethical and will it be copied in elsewhere?

    Daniel Lopez on the Irresistible Rise of Socialism

    Daniel Lopez on the Irresistible Rise of Socialism

    Daniel Lopez is the contributor editor overseeing Australia for U.S. based Jacobin magazine which offers a socialist perspective on politics, economics and culture. He is an active member of the 'Victorian Socialists' party which achieved a remarkable result in the 2022 state election.



    Daniel visited the Discernable studio to explore the evils that neo-liberalism has wrought on the world, where it came from, and what points of agreement a socialist perspective might have with a free-market libertarian perspective. Of particular concern was generational inequality, with a growing resentment among younger Millennial and GenZ cohorts who feel they are being left behind in a declining world.
