I find the article very interesting as a piece of propaganda - it plays heavily into the classic rags to riches meme - just focuses on the individual so to completely ignore the systemic problems that he perpetuated in his “earned” position.

Settling doesn’t prove innocence nor guilt - but as #MeToo has shown - SA is so prevalent that’s it’s usually better to err on the side of caution and assume the worst instead of claiming “fame” as a reason people try to seek justice from their abusers.

The “r*ping blob” saying “I hope that my sister gets the help she needs to find peace, but this needs to end. For many years, she has relentlessly and falsely attacked me and other members of my family to anyone who will listen” - sounds a lot like denial, deflection and victim blaming - having read her blog all I can see is just someone trying to heal from very real SA trauma and sharing her experience so others know they’re not alone. And suing her abuser for said abuse isn’t a “pursuit of a financial bonanza” but a very real recognition of the trauma she’s been left to deal with while her abuser is praised for his ingenuity and given a “boys will be boys” excuse for r*pe.

Adam is also an alleged r*pist of his sister Miranda Pacchiana

Ah yes the natural photosynthic process of mining silica, aluminum and rare earth metals from deep in the earth’s crust. Yes solar panels are more efficient than photosynthesis but they still require substantial systems built around them to function - plants not as much.

Still doesn’t mean we can’t have solar panels but we really shouldn’t be ravaging the earth more just to satisfy our excessive energy usage. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in that order.
