Equality

2 in one day. Yeewww.

Subjectivity

Ok, another quick cartoon. Here I want to criticize the notion that all ideas are equally valid. Even questions that are commonly thought to be entirely within the subjective domain like "is yellow a better colour than blue?" HAVE answers. It's just a matter of more precisely defining terms like "better".

This really bugs me because I've met a few people now that actively believe criticizing someones idea is the same thing as criticizing the person. New Zealanders (especially those from Wellington) seem to have developed a very reactionary 'oh, everyone's ideas are just as good as everyone else's'. 

I'm sure there are some very xenophobic, conservative New Zealanders outside of Wellington to tip that scale in a different direction. But i'd hardly call that a healthy balance...

cultural elitism and science

Just created another cartoon. Here I want to show the importance of judging the quality of an idea based on the validity and soundness of that idea and nothing else. "Respect" for culture should not go so far as to have sympathy for ideas that lack evidence. I'm NOT arguing for racial / cultural / gender discrimination!

Freedom from Speech cartoon

Hey folks, I've created another cartoon I call "freedom from speech". It criticizes Western hypersensitivity.
