AI GROK, COPILOT, ANSWERTHIS Overview of the Solar Sharer Program

  GROK ### Overview of the Solar Sharer Program The Australian federal government's "Solar Sharer" initiative, announced on November 3, 2025, by Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, mandates that electricity retailers provide at least three hours of zero-cost electricity per day to eligible households. This applies to homes with smart meters in New South Wales (NSW), south-east Queensland, and South Australia (SA) starting July 2026, with potential expansion to other regions in 2027. The program targets excess midday solar generation, encouraging users to shift consumption (e.g., running appliances or charging EVs) to this period to reduce peak demand, stabilize the grid, and minimize wasted renewable energy. It's implemented via reforms to the Default Market Offer (DMO), which caps retail prices in these areas.   While the scheme aims to democratize access to cheap solar power—benefiting renters, non-solar owners, and the broader system—it's no...

GROK: Analysis and Critique of Ellis and Solms' Perspective on the Nature/Nurture Dichotomy: Implications for Inter-Systemic Risks in Biology-Culture-Ideology-Language Nexuses

Analysis and Critique of Ellis and Solms' Perspective on the Nature/Nurture Dichotomy: Implications for Inter-Systemic Risks in Biology-Culture-Ideology-Language Nexuses Introduction The provided excerpt from Beyond Evolutionary Psychology: How and Why Neuropsychological Modules Arise by George Ellis and Mark Solms (2018) encapsulates a pivotal intervention in the longstanding nature-nurture debate. It posits that human cognition and behavior emerge from an interplay between evolutionarily conserved biological substrates—particularly primary emotional systems—and the brain's plasticity, which enables adaptive responses to physical, ecological, and social environments. Central to this argument is the distinction between "hard-wired" subcortical structures and "soft-wired" neocortical modules shaped by developmental interactions. A key assertion is the rejection of innate cognitive modules in the neocortex, including Noam Chomsky's language acquisition ...

 Is it true that Labor turns blind eye to menace of Islamist extremism? Are they alone? “Opinion: Far from being harmless, ‘soft Islamism’ sets the mood music to which Jihadis dance. […] That was first and foremost because the so-called “soft Islamists” do not only preach that the West, and everything associated with it, is corrupt and hence “haram,” that is, prohibited, to righteous Muslims.” Labor turns blind eye to menace of Islamist extremism, The Australian, Henry Ergas, October 25, 2024 US diplomats' in Canberra 2011 agree "US diplomats' in Canberra expressed concern that moderate Australian Muslims could be harbouring extremist views." (BBC US & Canada 2011) President ErdoÄŸan of Türkiye agrees. "“Islam cannot be either ‘moderate’ or ‘not moderate.’ Islam can only be one thing,” ErdoÄŸan ErdoÄŸan criticizes Saudi Crown Prince’s ‘moderate Islam’ pledge, Daily News, November 10 2017 Erdogan: ““Our God commands us to be violent towards the kuffar.

The demand for Sovereignty, Voice, treaty, moving Australia Day, for ever increasing resources to ameliorate significant negative behavior are the cutting edge of Australian citizens of Aboriginal ancestry expression of their Entitlement based on being First, not on relative contribution to the building of Australia to a Nation State of wealth and power.

  Entitlement: a right to “full entitlement to rent and maintenance should be offered" . All of us including the Australian citizens of Aboriginal ancestry migrated into this Australian continent. There are no First no Second in an Equal Voice to Power Democracy. This is the counterfactual reality of being so stupid to claim colonialism is bad.  We would not have the wealthy relatively safe society without our British heritage and the OZ indigenous would still be spearing each other cutting off legs and kidney fat having a cannibal feast.  “The place was all surrounded by bush, and hundreds of Gundagai aborigines used to camp close by. And well do I remember many of the fights in which they participated.   About the year 1850 a big battle took place just behind where the old brick mill on Morley’s Creek now stands. One morning we were awakened at daylight by piteous begging of a blackfellow to be let into our house. My husband gave him entry, and then he le...
