» A new generation young people is readying itself to tackle the problems passed on to them by previous generations: the climate emergency, economic inequality and the decomposition of cultural integrity. The spirit of transformation towards sustainability and social justice has not only emerged in Thailand but globally. The willingness to co-create a just and flourishing society in harmony with nature irrespective of the enormous burdens from the past manifests itself in the region as the "Milk Tea Alliance": young people in Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan and now even more strongly in Myanmar, India (farmers' protests supported by youth), and likely to be the case also in Malaysia and Indonesia.

» I have just finished reading the third novel in Robert Harris's brilliant trilogy based on the life of Cicero. It's about politicians who struggle to practise and defend democracy, but fail because of the corruptibility and greed of many of them. The politicians are divided, and some favour allowing the all-powerful general, Julius Caesar, to take control of the empire.
