It’s time we start to acknowledge that the old school way of solving problems is not enough. Information needs to be shared so we can come up with and acknowledge new ideas. Some of the new ideas that civilization needs to adopt already exist but they have not spread. The seeds are planted, it is up to humanity to see what sort of crop is cultivated and grows. Today I will focus on medicine and energy production.
Medicine:
Modern medicine is certainly ripe for change. A treatment for Alzheimer’s that should be explored is Aluminum Abstinence Therapy. This idea is being pushed by a doctor or a medical researcher but from a manager at a residential care facility for the elderly.
A professor at Washington State University has presented a new way to look at chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), fibromyalgia (FM) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Gulf War syndrome that also includes a treatment protocol. Initial results from trying the treatment protocol seem promising.
And then there is cancer. Is cancer the disease or is cancer the symptom of the actual cause? I don’t know, but it is certainly something to ponder.
Energy:
I’m not I know what is our world wide energy policy. I suspect the United States intends to burn every single barrel of oil that can be extracted from the Earth, whether it gets extracted now or 100 years from now. Never mind that burning ALL THE OIL may cause significant changes to the world wide climate. See AutoblogGreen.
…at a private lunch, GM chairman Maximum Bob Lutz said global warming is a “total crock of shit.” Bob adds “I’m a skeptic, not a denier. Having said that, my opinion doesn’t matter.”
Countries like Holland are much more invested in the problem of climate change.
January 28, 2008 ยท Architects in Holland are showing the rest of the world a way of turning adversity into opportunity.
The inevitable rise in sea level that comes with climate change is going to make it increasingly difficult to control flooding in low-lying Holland. But instead of cursing their fate, architects are designing a new Holland that will float on water, and the Dutch government seems willing to try out the scheme. Holland has made other countries begin to question, too. Who says you have to live on dry land?
Some data out there is starting to suggest that we have already reached a point of world wide peak oil production. And demand will continue to grow. Growth in countries like China and India ensure that demand will continue to increase. When the price of oil peaked a few weeks ago, the price per barrel had increased 500% in the last six years. Good for Exxon Mobile stock holders but will eventually be a drag on economies around the world. I suspect that eventually the oil will run out. The real question may be when does world wide oil production begin to decline. And what effects will that have on economies and society? And will we be ready to deal with the consequences?
Theoretical physicists have been searching for the elusive theory of everything for most of a century. There are between 5 and 7 theories out there, but the mainstream pretty much only focuses on one, superstring theory. One of these theories is even one from a surfer. My favorite is from Xavier Borg and available for perusing at the web site run by his non-profit research group. A potential side effect of this theory being true is that it may lead to an energy source that does not damage the enviroment.
