Australia is entering a dangerous new era — one where facts no longer matter, reading is optional, and ideology decides outcomes.

This week, we unpack the extraordinary conviction of NSW Police Officer Sergeant Benedict Bryant, found guilty after a teenager riding a stolen motorbike crashed into his parked police vehicle and died. The legal system now seems less interested in responsibility and more interested in optics. When emotion replaces evidence, justice becomes theatre.

But this case is just the symptom.

We’re watching the rise of the first post-literate generation — young Australians who can’t read, can’t write, and can’t think critically. Schools are no longer educating children, they’re manufacturing activists. Literacy has been replaced with slogans, comprehension with feelings, and knowledge with hashtags.

The result? A society that can’t distinguish guilt from tragedy, nuance from narrative, or justice from political appeasement.

If you care about the future of this country, about our kids, and about what happens when a civilisation forgets how to think, this is an episode you need to see.
