Another piece that instigates a depreciation of humanity.

Is this "charlton" implying that humanity would be a decent, accomplished thing, as an inside-the-box actor? Maybe consumerist live-and-die animals? What does it mean "to act predictably" as a praise there? That clashes radically with the aim towards Intelligence.

Another piece that provides sketchy as-if-unprocessed notes but leaves confused and disturbed about the juice.

And how come this Australian administration seems to send the most "antipodic" messages, such as that idea of locking Wikipedia and search engines?

--

Edit: could not find the said "speech at Sidney". I am trying to find the source to get what the message must have been, clean of the odd suggestions.

But this seems to be an interesting presentation for "Dr. Charlton, MP":
