>I thought the worst climate was your north-west coast?

The north coast of Western Australia is very dry, except in the rainy season.

The east coast gets more humid the further north you go.

South Australia is dry. Tasmania is cool. Pity about what's going to happen there because it is unique in Australia.

Inland can be better. Canberra has a nice climate.

Canberra was nice and dry, but fairly hot. If you tried to shuffle the air around (open a car window or start up a fan) it would just blow hot air around. You could feel the air sucking the moisture out of your eyeballs. I started to get sick in Canberra... And learned that people can't live off of Coca Cola. Seriously. You have to drink water. Actual water. To stay hydrated. Seriously.

Auckland is swampy. We have mosquitos at night. I think the sewers in the city collect sewerage in a sort of a sump fashion until the contractors water blast it along for treatment / disposal. So you get a build up of smell. NOt just when it rains. Just over time. You get a build up of smell from the sewers in the city. Something something about open pipes and the overflow is actually designed to run over into storm-water. So the smell of sewerage coming out the storm-water vents all about the city.

By the hospital. Which is charming (not).

Sigh.

Humidity is awful. When you get a layer of sweat / slime and it doesn't evaporate properly.

I am a very glandular person. Sucks. Best thing that ever happened for my glands was a massive dose of vitamin A. It felt to me like what I really really wanted was a less massive dose of vitamin A over a much much longer period of time... Only massive doses of vitamin A are teratogenic so they didn't want to give me large doses of vitamin A over longer periods of time...

But large doses of vitamin A shrunk my glands. So I produced less sweat. Which is not a bad thing when your sweat can't evaporate, in the climate, it just lies on your skin / in your glands blocking up all your pores and creating cysts...

I sweat more than most people, so far as I can tell. I'm kinda hairy too. I guess that's what all the glandular secretions are for, to keep my pelt shiny. Only I'm a girl so I methodically remove my pelt only to create blocked pores. Sigh.

Nasty climate.

Sigh.

Yes, it was nice and dry in Canberra (compared to swampier climates of Auckland and Australia and even NOrth Carolina) -- but you do gotta drink water.

I remember those perfect nights... Around 2 or 3 in the morning and the air would be the same temperature as blood... Or the same temperature as peripheral limbs... Or whatever... Just a perfect temperature so no thermoregulation was required. It felt like it. Just sitting in the perfect temperature.

I don't ever remember feeling so naturally happy in my climate / environment.

Wellington surprised me. A cool if moist climate can result in a lot of mould. I'm used to humidity being associated with heat.

Thats what the climate is like in the redwoods. Seasonally cool (not cold). Lots of mould. But the groves and mountains are drying up.

When the heat is combined with humidity. Without humidity you need to drink a lot of water, but it is not so uncomfortable (for me).

So we're alright here for now as far as fire is concerned.

It puzzles me that temperatures in Victoria should now be around 45C in parts. Maybe the hot dry air from the centre flows down there?

Where are redwoods? Northern California? I don't know why I am thinking Oregon? I don't even know where Oregon is...

I think my being glandular might be more likely to make me relatively heat tolerant and cold intolerant. I suppose that is correct. I complain about the cold more than most people do. I complain about the heat about as much as most people -- but I tend to over-dress more than most people because I am self conscious about being hairy.

It's a silly sort of self conscious. I'm not hursit. I probably would be really hairy if I was a guy, though. I think I was maybe 5 and some kid pointed out that my arms were really hairy (and theirs were hairless) and then I got self conscious about it and never wore short sleeves again for the next... Few decades. Or similar...

I just mean that the heat knocked me in Canberra similarly to everyone else but they were in short shorts or short skirts and tank tops while I was in jeans and t-shirts or layers of gym gear.

I actually quite liked the Dunedin climate. If I had a house with a heat pump then I didn't mind that climate at all.

It is hard to compare to 'sunny sunny sunny sunny sunny' Canberra, though. And, again, those summer nights where the air temperature is just perfect.

But it would get so hot during the day that you would get mirage distortion. And the air would get sucked out of your eyeballs. Yeah.

it is mould in the cold and fungus in the warm.

Apparently that is actually true.

So the same species that grows as a mould on the wall of your bathroom in the cold leaky house... Will grow as a fungus in your lungs.

They have two different morphologies / life phases or whatever.

As a mould they are relatively slow growing.

As a fungus they form fruiting bodies so as to seed little spores of fungus about your body.

Fungus particularly likes to live in little holes made by tuberculosis.

I think NZ is likely doing observational studies trying to contribute to the mycology literature.

There is a page on different fungus you find it different parts of the US...

Not sure what we have here. I have been going on about aspergillus -- but I don't know that that is the one that has been growing in people's houses. I think it's a different one...

I think so, from the air currents.

It is the humidity and the wind chill that people forget about in New Zealand.

It looks like our temperatures will be perfectly pleasant so people don't think that it is important to inquire into things like whether there is heating or air conditioning or ventillation. You think that things will be fine, or that we will have developed nation air conditioning to deal with things if things aren't fine.

But we don't deal with the things and the things aren't fine.

The humidity means that you use lots and lots and lots and lots of energy to try and heat up your cold house. The humidity means that you can't effectively lose heat from inside your body by sweating. Losing heat by sweating requires the sweat to evaporate which it will only do when the humidity is relatively low.

So it makes the cold feel colder. And it makes the heat feel hotter.

I have a shower now and I'm dripping wet. I use a towel to towel off and eventually I realise that I'm not toweling myself any dryier I'm simply pushing sweat around over the surface of my body and I'm sweaty and I need another shower already. It's pretty gross.

But I don't have an air conditioner because that would be a silly use of money by my landlord / by the government.

They would rather do a study on the long term effects of substanadard living conditions.

I mean -- why wouldn't you if you thought you could get away with it?

Why on earth not?

It is like medical specialists accreditation programs require that...

Well...

For instance...

3 specialists for a functional unit.

(that way 1 specialist is off-call at all times).

And the DHB says 'we will give you 3 x 0.75 positions and run a specialist unit'.

And some (the unemployable, really) say 'okay yeah sure totally alright'.

And then the support staff are not within 20 minutes of the hospital when they know they are on-call because the KNOW the specialist on call is not going to take ANY calls right now.

So the whole thing falls over.

ANd we wait....

3 generations?

More?

FOr the people to understnand what

'3 specialists for a functional unit' really...

Apparently China is offering to build us a hospital.

You know, since we are totally incapable of building a hospital ourselves.

What do you meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean that radiology and pathology and surgery and whatever have actual REQUIREMENTS on the facilities that are needed for trained specialists to work in them?

Surely we can just hire untrained specialists.

Surely we can negotiate or talk them down. You know...

The pilot safety flight check program means that the pilot needs to check off certain things before take-off..

But, you know, we can totally hire someone willing to fly into the twin towers for...

Well, for paying us.

Say the politicans.

so not so long ago the Prime Minster of New Zealand needed her wisdom teeth extracted.

I don't think the billings department managed to extract sufficient public funding for sufficient wisdom tooth extraction for us all...

We did not deport her for her dental extraction...

Whats teh f*ck*ng story -- again?

Recently there is Coronavirus from China.

Revealing how we do not have sufficient infrastructure to protect against anything at all.

We do not have infrared scanning in the airports (to detect that some people have started an immune response to something serious).

We do not have pathology services to run DNA samples on people being found (by, uh, Medical Student VOlunteers???? To be running temperatures???

We just, uh, cannot do anything, anything, anything at all. Not the most basic of things, at all, in the face of serious outbreak.

Wah wah poor us

Cry out politicians.

Feed us.

Their hands are out.

While they earn what portion of a million bucks, again, for their f*ck*ng ineptitude and incimpetence and inability / unwillingness to follow the most simple of instructions.

F*ck*ng idiots exterminating us all.

And the thing that f*ck*ng gets me the most is how the DHBS intentionally try and scale things up.

So you go... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww pooooooor them maybe they simply don't have the money to run a proper specialst unit with 3x 1 equivalent full time position to have the patients taken care of 24/7.

Then you learn that after fooling people into thinking that... INto fooling people into working to the point of burning out over and over...

After discovering / realising that in this hell hole it's actually viable (perhaps even admirable) business practice to have 0.75 full time status positions expecting them to run 1 full time position..

But why stop there?

But why stop there?

Why not have a specialist unit of 20 specialists all working 0.75 positions.

So the board of directors can have the profits for themselves.

Because that's where the government funding goes.

They take the regulations as 'aspirational' and they take their pay ... They take their pay... They take their pay at the highest percentages that there are world-wide while pretending to be too stupid to do that math.

While actually being too stupid to do that math.

While providing no system of education / accreditation / training for people to work their way up if they are smart and hardworking and that way inclined.

They are just f*ck*ng psychopaths chucked back from the developed world.

Where is the exit strategy for the rest of us?

Why am I 40 and I still don't have my f*ck*ng things processed.

Precisely ebcause they KNOW I'm competent. More competent than them.

They only fund no hope because that's what they invested in.

They should live in the slums that they made.

> This may not be a contradiction.

I remember a psychotherapist I had once who was of the attitude that 'if I cannot help you, then nobody can'.

There were different prongs to that. Mostly, it amounted to her being defensive about her capacity / ability to help. If she could not help me then the problem must lie with me. Must be my fault.

She became invested (psychologically) in how other clinicians should all know that I could not be helped by them. They would not help me. They would not help me.

She did this by way of choosing what she wrote in my file, you see. Managing the impression that other clinicians would have of me. Recommending (ordering?) that nobody work with me, because I could not be helped.

She was young, to be fair.

She was paid to help. She was paid as a member of the helping profession. To be honest.

_______________

Because I did not look after her properly:

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww you are the best psychologist I have ever seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. But I like yoooooooooooou so verrrrrrrrrrry much. Awwwwwwwwwwwww.

Goochie goochie goo. All about you, person paid to help me. Helping you helping you helping you...

________________

They have invested in things being hopeless.

You hear them 'when I came out of university (or when I completed high school or primary school or whatever the case may be) I was so naieve and thought I could save the world and fix everything!'

But then I...

Made so much money doing nothing. Helping nobody. Cr*pp*ng on about crap and going a little bit vacant eyed and garbage output and 'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I want nothing more than to help yoooooooooooooooooooooou Dear Person I am paid to help only because I take all your resources for myself awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww all about yooooooooooooooooooooooou Dear Person. All about helping myself to helping myself to helping myself to yooooooooooooooou'.

They have invested in taking the resources that others would / could use to maintain their health and thereby retaining their position as 'health leader'.

I discovered that 1 month after I submitted a thesis for examination that took the Government (Ministry of Health) to task for the underdeveloped crap they spouted about 'equity'... They updated their webpage considerably with respect to what they had to say about equity.

I discovered that 1 year and 1 month after I submitted a thesis for examination that took the Government (Ministry of Health) to task for the underdeveloped ignorance they displayed about the sustainable development goals and about wellbeing and about empowerment of individual people (no matter what race they are)... They had a conference. A government funded conference which was (by the looks of it) by invitation only.

So they take my stuff / respond to my ideas... While refusing to acknowledge the work that I have done. While refusing to process my application for scholarship (academic merit based scholarship that they gave to students with lower GPA than me). While refusing to deliver the only outcome of examination that is based in the reports of examiners (in 1 instance external to this awful country).

I submitted a thesis for examination September of 2018 and still they refuse to credit me for it. The University has set about spamming a succession of unofficial transcripts for me (uploading these to a NZ qualifications website for 'document sharing with employers') that allege to supersceed any past transcripts...

They took my money for the Degree - because they had to. Because they are a Public University so they do not get to pick and choose which students they think are most ineffectual and incompetent to invest in those. They are forced to take the qualified students who apply to them.

And the attitude seems to be 'awwwwwwwwwwww poooooor them, they didn't waaaaant you there. Awwwwww and you inflicted yourself on them anyway. Awwwww poor them . THey are perfectly entitled to refuse to process your scholarship / funding applications according to their merits (just throw away the applications for applying to a topic that the University / the Government will not allow just anyone to say anything about).

There isn't freedom of speech in New Zealand.

Not in the Universities.

Especially not in the Universities.

Universities are not places where people engage in intelligent debate. The level of the debate is 'chocolate is the best flavor and my leadership will ensure that everyone enjoys it on my watch!'

I am trying to think wehre the money comes from.

Overseas.

As we hold out our children (personal hot water bottles) as hostages.

International monetary funding organisations... That give us money otherwise our Government would not provide the most basic of services (they barely do as it is) of clean drinking water and the like...

Then...

Gambling.
Alcohol.
Dairy farming.
Sheep farming.
(Out farming practices are about maximum volume for minimum quality we can get away with. Our milk appears to be being dehydrated and reconstituted with something... Maybe... Cow snot? It smells like it... For increased protein content. Of course. You know, when we aren't adding things like... I don't remember what to it. Trying to murder the One Child that the people had in China...

So... Government handouts and exploitative business / exploitative business models / practices.

There's our private sector.

Wanna trade with us? Wanna do business?

You give us all your stuff. Cars and phones and computers and medications...

And we'll give you...

Uh...

See this? We maybe won't kill it.

Yeah.

Wanna do business???

_________

There is something monkey in a suit about the whole Government conference thing. Often it's because it was written by teams of people. You give the document to someone and they line by line rewrite it. Then the next person. ANd they do that. And it goes around. Eventually it is indistinguishable from something that comes out of the postmodernist essay generator.

That's why they show youtube videos of them talking at conferences. Because it masks / disguises the meaning blindness by way of something sort of magician-like of getting people to focus somewhere else.

Instead of the content of what they are saying... There is a meaning-blindness. There isn't much meaning in what they are saying. They don't understand themselves.

But big eyes and hand gestures and pretty dress and nobody is listening to the content. Goochie goochie goo this is conference for New Zealand we are an oral peoples and it would be culturally inappropriate to have coherent written content in our government funded conference where we display to the world all our highest paid government workers and what it is that they do and where it is that all the money goes.

All the money goes to these people. To do what it is that they do. Which is taking the money. For themselves. They have jobs as our highest paid government workers. Our health workforce. To take the money of the people to ensure that the peple remain unhealthy. To ensure the people don't have access to birth control to grow their business. To keep it at the level of 'but we don't have clean drinking water we cannot have cancer care!' always.

Alway.

Helping them help themselves to the people they are paid to help.

Always...

The meaning blindness...

The incomprehension...

The committal. To this being the way things are. They are just doing what htey needed to do to be on top rather than on the bottom. Life is a game (inevitably because of how they chose to live it) whereby you f*ck others or are be f*ck*d by others and you join them in f*ck*ng others or they will f*ck you.

Take your stuff. Blame you for the fact they took it.

Pat themselves on the back for a job well done.

This is the world that they made.

But of course good people will not do business with them.

But of course there need to be an exit strategy for good people.

There needs to be.

Because of what it is that is developed in pockets around the world.

But, uh, never here.

Seems to me.

____________

I think people have been standing down.

I think people have been asked politely.

But then often those people... Nobody asked them to step up. And they werent' competent to lead. And from their perspective if they weren't leading then someone else would... From their perspecitive if they are bossing people around and taking their stuff then someone else would be. So the people cannot be left to manage themselves. There must always be a few managers here and there taking more than their share for themselves and controlling others in that way by withholidng the most basic of resources from them...

Unless / until they hand over their stuff.

They think that they can starve an artist into producing a work of art for them.

They think they can get people working in prositution (or giving it away for free) by refusing them housing.

The human animal is abhorrent to me.

I returned to this country in... 2012, I think.

I was told to expect a year of 'frictional unemployment'. Where you (are forced to live) with 'friends' in Wellington. You know, repaying them the only way you can by meeting their social needs on demand and maybe doing some cleaning...

Being paraded around the people in Wellington. Conveying to them:

'Awwwwwwwwwwwwww there is nothing more that I want in life than to be like yooooooooou awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww there is nothign more than I want in life but to please yooooooou.'

Until you are so beaten down that you will take anything, anything, anything at all.

__________

What's the alternative?

They go 'make us!'

The idea seems to be that you are forced into 'if you can't beat them, then join them'.

Only they don't seem to be hearing the people.

Our people cannot kill themselves fast enough. The people don't want to live, like that. We have the highest suicide rates because our people don't want to live like that. Our people don't want to join them. OUr people want them to step down. Get off. Stop taking all our stuff. Stop trying to force people (by starving them and not giving them housing) to produce high volumes of rubbish nobody wants. Stop trying to force people to spout meaningless crap nobody understands.

It's obvious.

That's what they don't seem to understand.

That's the think tank on display.

I'm impressed they managed to update their website 1 month after I submitted my thesis.

How much money did that cost them? How many people did they need to set on that task?

Because they didnt' have the capacity to understand WHO documents.

______

The WHO needs to pay people to read their documents to youtube so the highest paid government officials and think-tank of New ZEaland can follow along.

Let me suggest you start with saying things nobody understands that is the equivalent of


'Gurgle gurgle gurlgle bloop blop'

'Goochie Goochie goo. Give us money all the people of the world! Helping us! Helping us! Helping us better help ourselves to you!'

The great circle-jerk that ensures New ZEaland continues its trajectory of backwards...

They can't force the people to produce things that come from... Happy people. They can't force the people to produce works of art that invoke / evoke (from people who aren't very very very far advanced in psychopathy) some of the higher emotions.. Or even some of the more basic pleasant emotions..

Tortured people produce things that have a tortured expression.

And then we have people actively displaying torture objects / torture of objects... Well... For the most obvious reason of all: Because they can.

So no art. Just another mechanism of people control / display of power.

There has been rather a lot of that around Auckland... Around New Zealand, generally.

People displaying their pathology for all the world to see.

What you going to do about it?

And I think to myself: What kind of aged care institution is fit for you given teh slum properties you chose to build / manage? The conditions in which you think it is appropriate and fitting to keep people?

But of course they are unthinking.

THey are just displaying their pathology.

Reacting to that whcih they could not process.

To be fair, they did not get the help they needed.

But they have enough resources to purchase the help they need. In the form of psychotherapy and the like.

Oh, but we dont' have any people actually offering those services.

Yeah, we starved them out / away.

Or, people won't pay for those services.

People cling to their money for sure.

Apparently 1/3 of people in NZ have health insurance.

I wonder how many of those people are Government Workers.

I mean to say, I wonder how many of the people with health insurance, in New Zealand, are using money that is supposed to go to the people of New Zealand for the development of New Zealand to the purchase of (what they actually seem to believe to be) some kind of 'gold card' or 'priorty access' to public health services. So, you know, your health insurance buys you first in line at the A&E of the public hosptial. Or 2 helecopters for your loved one who needs hospital transfer and friends and relations. Maybe priority accommodation for relations close to the public hospital. Maybe a private room in the public hospital. Maybe coffee making facilities in the public hospital.

You know. Helping you helping you helping ourselves to you. Why? Because we can! Who is going to stop us?

Uh,

YOu mean..

You don't have this little thing called 'conscience'?

Huh.

They can't build the detention facilities fast enough.

If this is concentration camp island (as I expect it to be) there needs to be mechanisms for getting our people out.

The ECFMG says I need to have a medical degree to apply for registration in the US. They accept medical degrees from Otago and Auckland. They are aware that Otago has been graduating people who did not meet completion requirements. They are aware that Auckland has been refusing entry to people who have met eligability requirements. They seem to be more focused on 'medical degrees we acknowledge are required to have 4 years of, uh, medical curriculum'. Because, you know, New Zealand decides that the skills we most value of all are teh ability to:

Meet with people on demand and go 'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww there is nothing more than I want than to help you!' while (with the behavioral component 'helping myself to helping myself to helping myself to you'.

Because these are people who we value.

Because people seem to get off on people following them around being sycophantic. THey actualyl seem to enjoy it.

THem and their little tribe of sycophants kept in sufficiently abhorrent conditions to...

Uh...

Make them feel like they *really made it* in life.

Thats what it's about.

When you are on your death bed and you look back on your life... The things you remember... The things you regret... The contribution that you made to the world... Whether you could have done more. How you could have done more...

Whether you could have taken more?

Whether you could have made things even worse for others than you already did?

OUr leaders don't have a will to live, either.

They don't want healthcare, often enough. They want.. Peaceful oblivion.

Many people do. It seems. Want to be put out of their misery as their first priority.

Only, it's hard to say. This whole strategy of expressing power by seeing what people need and inflicting the opposite.

The person needs seclusion -- they must be forced to live communally.
THe person needs company -- they must be forced to live in isolation.

'What are you going to do about it"?

and 'why didn't anybody stop me"?

Just people expressing / living out their trauma.

Reacting.

Not responding. *There's nobody home*.

There are people home, of course.

But not on their watch.

But they appear to lack the capacity to self-regulate.

(Which is of course why they are determined to inflict that on me so I now how it feels see see see! YOu too are just like me!!!)

This awful swampy swamp swamp where there are no boundaries.

People don't seem able to grasp the *reason* for the rule, often enough. There is a kind of meaning blindness. An incomprehension.

Of basic morality. Of the reason for the rule in law. The purpose of the Act. That sort of thing.

But there is no reasoning with 2 year olds.

You can't teach people maths when they don't have shoes and breakfast.

You can't teach our goverment executives reasons for rules when they didn't learn to be 'good mother' to themselves. They have their money...

But lack the capacity ot invest it in anything good.

The lack of ability to identify it when they see it...

There is something very very very very wrong.
