FREO TODAY

Freo Today. 10 September 2024. Nearly 9/11. Something quite peaceful in a troubled world is Marcus Canning’s already iconic 2016 Freo Rainbow 🌈 Sculpture, sometimes called the Containbow – not to mention the mighty Parsifal Vehicles Carrier that the Containbow frames in the background this morning. Mighty clever pic by our ever alert Shipping Correspondent, Jean Hudson.

Collapsing

in Life, Law & Culture
When I read Jared Diamond’s book Collapse many years ago, describing how societies choose to fail or survive, I became reacquainted with the idea of ‘collapse’.

First, I wanted to clarify my own thinking and put down on paper what I thought were the most important concepts around the topic. Secondly, to summarise the main ideas of two authors who have greatly influenced me: Iain McGilchrist and Jem Bendell. Thirdly, based on my experience as a counsellor,…
