Here is my reading of the sensible centre.

So, here we are, with the neoliberal turn in markets ideology in the 1990s, now supported by the ALP-LNP-PHON coalition, continuing to ignore authentic sustainable development with inter-generational equity. Too many inhabit neoliberal values. Too few activate alternative regenerative futures.

I also care for all peoples and all life on our planet. I include people in Indigenous, Eastern, Western, Modern, Postmodern & Metamodern schools. I accept people need healthy living conditions to grow from dependent child to independent adult to interdependent elder. Good or bad can happen anytime!

"Then we looked closer, and we found natural explanations for everything"? Now we live in tech worlds without meaning. Because science claims "that quantitative measurement is the sole source of objective truth and that only what can be measured can be regarded as real." So, LOVE is not "real"!

Thank you for bringing attention to current dysfunctional behaviours, which will impact younger generations so badly. Here is the latest Worldwide Greenhouse Gas Emissions data.

UN Sec-Gen: “our shared future will be forged by whether humanity can govern power wisely” and that “the greatest power is not the power to dominate. It is the power to build a future that works for everyone”.

What's missing in the Intergenerational report? Sick of our bad habits in our neoliberal prison? Have you seen the Planetary Health Check 2026? For those who find the current status quo suffocates life in human beings, indeed, in all living beings:

I'm tired. We live amidst massive ecological overshoots. We have known that we are living beyond the Limits to Growth since 1972. We abandoned 'ecologically sustainable development' in 1992, allouryesterdays.info/2025/12/06/d.... All of this is confirmed with the latest Planetary Health Check.

Looks like we have an ecological crisis, at local, national and global scales.

Meanwhile, some brave souls continue to care for what's happening on our planet: Planetary Health Check assesses the nine Planetary Boundaries. The 2026 diagnosis is clear: 7 of 9 boundaries have been transgressed, and all 7 are at their highest recorded levels. www.planetaryguardians.org/phc2026

The International Theological Commission document “Caring for Our Common Home” calls for a theological and moral response to the ecological crisis, framing environmental harm as a “sin against creation and the Creator” and urging humanity to act as responsible stewards of God’s creation.

"Despite progress, however, major challenges persist. Of the 139 SDG targets with trend data, only 36 per cent are on track or making moderate progress. Nearly half — 49 per cent — are advancing too slowly, and 15 per cent have regressed below 2015 baselines." Time to replace SDGs with UNSDPIs, r3.0

We want to live regenerative lives, to secure human dignity in Heart-soul-body for all human beings; to live with all living beings within the natural rhythms of our local and planetary ecological habitats; to replace our current greed is good consumerism with sustainable inter-generational equity.

Human beings in good living conditions grow from child to adult to elder, from being egocentric and groupcentric, to being worldcentric (love of all human beings), planetcentric (love of all living beings), and kosmoscentric UNITY with ALL BEINGS.

"Mary...noted that she had “spent (her) entire career in one form or another working to protect our right to know and to promote the principle of human rights for all”. What can we do we to generate trust with each other? A Human Rights Act in Australia? Or we can continue with growing inequalities!

Lewis Mumford critiques the disenchantment, mechanization, & loss of meaning characteristic of our modern technological societies. These themes strongly overlap with what philosophers (e.g., Max Weber, Charles Taylor) describe as a “disenchanted” or “disqualified” world. Wolfgang Smith goes deeper.

Our GDP based economy is now totally dysfunctional. No matter how the ALP, LNC, ON, or Greens deal with our urgent social and ecological issues, assuming that growing GDP is good is mad. At UN, r3.0, et al., there are discussions on BEYOND GDP economies. But let's face it, people don't want change.

We need to move from our current toxic economic settings to regenerative economic settings. Redesign from working for better returns on our investments to working for Sufficient Human Dignity for Everybody within the Delicate Limits of Our Planet’s Ecological Habitats. E.g., www.weallscotland.org.

An alternative political revolution. Our old institutions have sold their souls to moral degeneracy. Instead of working to secure basic human dignity for everybody within the ecological limits of our planetary habitats, we have seen the few, with their insatiable greed, exploit people and planet.

Since 1972, we have known about the LIMITS TO GROWTH. In 1987, the UN Brundtland Report, Our Common Future, defined sustainable development as inter-generational equity. In 1992, ALP killed Ecologically Sustainable Development. Since then, greed, consumerism, and profits for businesses have ruled.

Can we agree human growth goes potentially from child to adult to elder, from egocentric me to ethno-group-centric us to sociocentric experts-achievers to worldcentric collaborators to kosmoscentric unity? Which layers in human development need to become healthy, growing virtues, limiting vices?

What do "progressive" and "reform" mean here?

If we make the effort to understand our full humanity, then we can find ways to hold our humanity altogether in our hearts-souls-bodies. Otherwise, we can simply continue to inhabit our preferred partialities, in our various guises, and fight amongst ourselves over our many unacceptable differences.

People tend to know ARTS, MORALS, and SCIENCES in a mix of open-minded & closed-minded understandings. Modern sciences are based on Cartesian body-mind bifurcation; traditional sciences on tripartite Heart-soul-body. WISDOM integrates ideas and practices in ARTS, MORALS, and SCIENCES, altogether.

Let's try some philosophy of knowledge. Who is the knower: an egocentric opportunist, a groupcentric conformist, sociocentric expert-achievers, worldcentric collaborators, kosmoscentric unity with all beings in humanity's sages? How is knowing being done? What is being seen? Why is this being seen?

Human dignity goes with planetary integrity. So, we need to understand the dignity of nature and the integrity of human beings, individually and socially, altogether. This means moving beyond Cartesian body-mind bifurcation into Heart-soul-body inclusivity.

How do we fix it? How do we persuade all sorts of people to learn to live in sustainable ways, within our planet's finite natural boundaries, with human dignity for everybody, and with inter-generational equity across all generations? At local, national, and global scales?
