Though I see enough positive aspects to put overpopulation issues in the backseat of needed global change, It is still an important part of the whole. Many, however fail to realize that birth rates have moderated in most of the world. People are realizing that trying and praying to have multiple children exasperates the environmental… Continue reading Population, moderation counts and it is working… the more conservative perspective
One of my projects that needs a new push forward
Carbon and Hydrogen Agro-Research Project development combines all the varied fields of science in a closed loop biomass production and utilization system that fits local scale. The slant is to embrace the highest technologies and use them at pilot scale. Often high tech in the energy sector is geared toward multi-billion dollar projects and excellent… Continue reading One of my projects that needs a new push forward
More Folk on the Earth?
Increasing carrying capacity is an interesting phraseology. Clearly we could, with total societal change, massively increase the ecologically stable population limit for humans on the planet using wise and appropriate technologies coupled to grassroots solutions for basic needs and 'contentedness'. Thankfully, we don't need to do that. With todays technologies and clever innovation humans can live… Continue reading More Folk on the Earth?
Police of questionable character, suppression of truth… What is to be done?
Here are some interesting details of a current story of police brutality. A couple weeks ago police mistreated an innocent law abiding teen with a dysfunctional electric window on his car which apparently angered the officer. Bryce Masters was stepped on and lightly kicked several times (captured on video) while he was slipping into a… Continue reading Police of questionable character, suppression of truth… What is to be done?
Empowerment as enablement to live joyfully, sufficiently, and sustainably giving more back than is taken from environment, community, family, and oneself
All human systems should empower the individual and community. Empowerment is defined as enablement to live joyfully, sufficiently, and sustainably giving more back than is taken from environment, community, family, and oneself. Making human systems efficient[1] in terms of enabling the mass of action with minimal friction is one tiny part of the puzzle. Attaining… Continue reading Empowerment as enablement to live joyfully, sufficiently, and sustainably giving more back than is taken from environment, community, family, and oneself
Ideological revival of Justice, Law, and Liable enforcement:
Rough Brainstorm on key points of restraining the fascist tendency in the pursuit of efficient governance: (written and not yet re-read, open for comments): Disobedience of a law that itself is illegal is not disobedience or the breaking of law as such a law is ‘not to be considered any law at all.’ Civil disobedience… Continue reading Ideological revival of Justice, Law, and Liable enforcement:
Tears
On reading a couple of articles about the extinction of birds I began weeping uncontrollably. I love the birds. I love mornings because of the birds. I love evenings for the swallows. On our farm we have often failed to pursue profits, but never have we failed to increase the bird habitat and achieve the… Continue reading Tears

On the other… Continue reading THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIRECT RESPONSIBILITY AND THE LEGALITY AND SIMPLICITY OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
More on liberating and reforming biology
Following is a series of discussion points and replies. The Italic quotes are arguing the case to leave biology alone, while mine are toward its liberation and reform.“….That reliance on rational evidence is also why you can't take evolution (even Gould's 'fact and theory') out of biology. Internal consistency is required in science, as are… Continue reading More on liberating and reforming biology
Is Biology in left field at this critical time in history?
There is muffled debate dividing society that I find inconsequential and more importantly a hindrance to science and prosperity. Should we teach evolution or creationism in school? More precisely, should we teach evolution or creationism in school as the causal agent of the origin and diversity of life? Let me tell you why I find… Continue reading Is Biology in left field at this critical time in history?
