Wendell's Diary

There are many subjects that ChatGPT refuses to cover, alerting me that the content violates the terms and conditions. This is unfair as many controversial subjects need proper investigation to uncover its true significance. So this time, I am writing manually instead of processing my thoughts through ChatGPT so that I can speak freely. Years ago I wrote a book about legalising assisted suicide. In fact, I originally moved to Canberra to try and legalise assisted suicide. But when I got here I realised that there were no public places to voice my concern. People who suffer long term depression have no way out of their pain. Society doesn't help them in the areas that they struggle in life and as a result, they are forced to live in great distress. They dream of ending their own life but hurting oneself is not only illegal but also very difficult to do.  I advocate for assisted suicide to be available to those who suffer greatly over a long period of time. Everybody needs a way out ...

Mainstream media—the supposed gatekeeper of truth—has become a machine of sensationalism, misinformation, and manipulation. Once trusted to inform the public, it now prioritizes profits over integrity, shaping narratives that divide societies and distort reality. But a change is on the horizon. The era of mainstream media is crumbling, and in its place, a new wave of independent voices is rising. At the heart of the issue lies sensationalism. Media outlets no longer compete to deliver the truth; they compete for clicks, views, and ratings. Headlines are crafted not to inform, but to provoke outrage, fear, or shock. In this game, the truth becomes secondary to whatever story will grab the most attention. Facts are cherry-picked, context is ignored, and complex issues are reduced to simplistic, polarizing soundbites. Misinformation and Bias Mainstream media thrives on selective storytelling. It often presents skewed perspectives, shaped by the political or corporate agendas of those in c...

Modern relationships are breaking under the weight of their own contradictions. In a world that preaches connection, many find themselves more isolated than ever, chasing fleeting desires instead of forging deep, meaningful bonds. Divorce rates soar, relationships crumble, and the foundation of commitment feels weaker with each passing generation. What went wrong? At the heart of the issue lies societal pressure and convenience. In an age of instant gratification, relationships have been reduced to a commodity—something to swipe for, consume, and discard when the spark fades. The slow burn of commitment, the effort of understanding, and the beauty of long-term growth have been replaced by a culture of quick fixes and disposable love. What happens when this superficial approach meets hardship? Relationships falter. When challenges arise, like health issues or financial struggles, the truth of a bond is revealed. Instead of standing firm in the storm, many choose to walk away. Commitment...

The world we live in today is controlled by a system that prioritizes profit over people, where corporations hold the real power, and politicians dance to their tune. This isn’t a democracy. It’s a system designed to ensure that the wealthy grow wealthier, while the rest of us are left to pick up the scraps. And it’s time to destroy it. At the heart of this broken system lies corporate greed. Corporations, driven by an insatiable hunger for profit, exploit workers, manipulate consumers, and devastate the environment. Their goal isn’t to create value for society—it’s to extract as much as possible, no matter the cost. And the cost is staggering: low wages, inequality, environmental collapse, and the erosion of human dignity. But corporate greed doesn’t exist in isolation. It thrives because of political alignment with corporations. Politicians, who are supposed to represent the people, have instead aligned themselves with the interests of big business. Lobbyists ensure that corporate ag...

The judicial system is supposed to represent justice. Instead, it represents control. Cold, biased, and dehumanizing, it strips away the humanity of the accused and replaces it with a sterile, systematic process where facts aren’t facts, voices go unheard, and decisions are made without compassion or understanding. When you step into the judicial system—whether in criminal court or mental health court—you lose your agency. Your life, your circumstances, your truth are all reduced to a fact sheet, a document that defines your entire existence for the court. But these “facts” are often incomplete or outright wrong. And yet, because they’re written down, judges treat them as absolute truth. There’s no room for your input, no space for context. The person at the center of it all—the accused—is silenced. Judges, the supposed arbiters of fairness, are anything but impartial. They bring their own biases, their own cold and clinical approach to decisions that could alter someone’s life forever...

The two-party political system is a lie. It’s an illusion of choice, a carefully constructed system designed to divide, distract, and silence. And it’s time to destroy it. For decades, people have been told they have a voice in their government. But how can anyone’s voice truly be heard when the only options are left or right? Two modes of thinking. Two ideologies. That’s all we’re given to choose from. This system doesn’t represent the people—it represents itself. Here’s the truth: the two-party system is built to fail. It’s a game of ping-pong, where one party gets in, reverses everything the other party did, and pretends it’s progress. Then the pendulum swings back, and the other party does the exact same thing. Nothing meaningful ever gets done because the system isn’t designed for long-term growth—it’s designed for short-term power grabs. And who suffers? The people. The ones whose voices aren’t heard, whose ideas and values don’t fit neatly into a red or blue box. This system isn...

For five years, I lived in the wilderness, sleeping in a tent—not because I wanted to, but because I couldn’t afford housing. This wasn’t some grand adventure or a lifestyle choice. It was survival. I wasn’t a drug addict. I wasn’t lazy. I wasn’t someone who "deserved" to be homeless—not that anyone does. I was just someone trying to live, trying to find help, trying to create a life for myself. But the truth is, nobody cared. When you’re homeless, society looks at you like you’re invisible. You’re not a person anymore—you’re a problem. I spent years trying to find help, but every door I knocked on stayed shut. Housing was out of reach, support systems were inadequate, and the people around me turned away as if my situation wasn’t their problem. Living in the wilderness came with its own set of challenges. I lived in the mountains, far from the city. Every day was a relentless cycle of walking up and down the mountain to collect supplies. Food and water were the priorities, a...
