Breaking the Greenhouse: Coaching Language and Its Impact Explore how coaching language shifts obligation, framing harm as progress in self-help culture. An ethical critique for all.

We live in a world governed by obligation.

Except in coaching culture, where โ€œput yourself firstโ€ often means abandoning responsibility without reckoning.

Growth that erases obligation isnโ€™t growth. Itโ€™s permission.

So is this what @albomp.bsky.social and his Deputy believe are the โ€œshared valuesโ€ we hold with the US and means we need to keep sending them billions for AUKUS?

Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why."

Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!"

First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives โ€œa great dealโ€ if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.

Today, he gave them Venezuela โ€” home to the largest oil reserves in the world.

This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

The person apologising for failing to pass on the Sydney neo-Nazi rally protest information is the Deputy NSW Police Commisioner.

He was recently the acting NSW Police Commissioner and applied for the top job.

But 3 months ago he was passed over for the Commissioner's job.

Gough raised unemployment benefits to their highest level relative to poverty - then Fraser (and his treasurer John Howard) fucked it up as soon as they could.

Hawke/Keating repaired some of the damage... then Howard fucked it up for good

Your Truth, My Truth, No Truth - When truth becomes personal revelation, accountability disappears. Is this your truth, my truth or no truth?

When everyone has โ€œtheir truth,โ€ no one has the truth.

โ€œIf two people both claim that God revealed moral truth to them, but those revelations contradict, how do you know whoโ€™s right?โ€

Outsourcing Growth: Coaching, Influencers, and Self-Help We no longer live growth โ€” we outsource it. Coaching, influencers, and self-help industries have turned human development into a product.

We donโ€™t grow anymore. We outsource it.
Weโ€™ve handed over our thinking, our feelings, even our humanity, to coaches, influencers, and self-help brands that package growth as a product.
Real growth isnโ€™t scalable.
