My current project is to fill in and complete all the existing pages on this site. Updated the 911 page, some of the extended 911 pages, the computers page, and the page on how to make a website. Spell-checking and editing are paramount and finishing a number of tutorials that have already been begun. Filling in the individual emotion pages. I recently started a page on economics that focuses on the problems of the completely free market and why socialism, in a reasonable form, is the best way people can cooperate in a society based on monetary exchange. Also beginning pages on individual colors.

I have updated my page on existence, my anology in artificial intelligence essay, most of the accompanying page graphics (to the upper right on each page) are new, and I've begun to separate and categorize my extensive thoughts around the 9-11 controlled demolitions in New York.

It is on one of these pages, the one from this last week, where I go off about the foolish western populations who believe that Osama (Usama, whatever) Bin Laden (A) was behind 9-11 at all and (B) has been alive during most of the first decade of the 21st century- but burying his body at sea seems normal to the American sheeple. Oh my, the Greenday song "American Idiot" comes to mind and I see throngs of them everywhere.

I have recently begun exploring the range of human emotion on individual pages and in a new emotion chart that is dynamically clickable on the emotion page. These individual pages, each concerning a disparate but singular human emotion, are currently under construction.

ON HUMAN POWER AND THE ENVIRONMENT:

The nuclear plant explosion and continuing disaster in Japan highlights the flaws in nuclear technology. I offer my deepest sympathies and prayers for all of the people in that region who were and continue to be, affected. I hope that the site is made safe as soon as possible with containment.

But, where are we going to make up the energy if not nuclear? I do not think nuclear is good at all, but is it better than coal, gas, and oil? This is hard to say given the potential disaster that is coming by global increases in CO2 emissions.

Perhaps it is already too late. Maybe humans have far exceeded their energy capacity and capitalism has doomed us to a nightmarish world of economic collapse followed by social collapse. Most environmentalists don't understand the importance of economics because it is this arena of human life that is most closely related to being able to provide the basic necessities for life: shelter, food, water, clothing, etc.

If people have none of these things, then the most pressing issue facing humanity will be wars and social unrest the likes of which have never been seen in history given the current world population combined with the masses of weapons that are held by these populations. This does not mean there must be a horrible scenario.

Not at all. It seems, though, the most likely outcome because of ignorance on the part of the population to take the necessary steps to ensure a smooth transition to post-fossil fuel energy paradigms. If we were to go ahead full force with solar and wind energy modes, there is still a good chance we would fall far short of current production.

Nuclear may be risky, but is it more risky to either continue to pollute the atmosphere with carbon or lack the energy we need to continue sustainable transportation of food and goods? Food sources must shift to a local setting. Global transport of goods and foods will be one of the first things to go, unless, that is, we transport using nuclear technology. The possibility of viable fusion reactors should not be overlooked as this could be a potential silver bullet for our problems.

The underlying issue of global populations needs to be addressed and simple economic incentives could easily roll back world populations. However, the emergence of capitalism as a world market model makes the population issue almost impossible because, as a pyramid scheme of consumerism, capitalism is the very worst system to have in place in order to quell the exploding human population. Surely, we can support billions more people given current resources.

But, with each new billion people, with each doubling of the number of mouths to feed and cars to fuel, we make the precarious nature of our situation more and more fragile and susceptible to changes in the availability of scarce resources like water, food, and energy. The smaller the population, the more stable humans can be as a species. The larger the population, the more likely we are to engage in warfare for control of precious limited resources.

And, as our non-renewable supplies continue to dwindle, while our population continues to blossom, the Earth will no longer sustain the growth at some definable and recognizable point. While technology can help mitigate all of these things, religious and social resistance to birth control and voluntary sterilization needs to be overcome. China is the perfect example of a place where the population has become a problem and where people no longer have a legal choice to reproduce at will.

This is not just some totalitarian iron fist, this will eventually become necessary for all populations on Earth. Religious fundamentalism and lack of access to education and methods of birth control, be they temporary or permanent, will continue to hinder this coming necessity of world population control.

This is not a nefarious or sinister paradigm but a simple matter of a finite space being too small for an endless number of organisms that require space and resources to thrive. As the climate continues to become altered by modern pollutants, humans will need to migrate to places they may not be welcome to or to places that are already overcrowded. What, in my opinion, would be a good number of people to shoot for? Well, the capitalist paradigm must be abandoned first.

Not for a communist paradigm, but for a moderately socialist paradigm in which competition is still allowed but in which the greatest earners are required to help the least earners maintain a decent level of existence.

The world can easily sustain the number of people in it at the moment, but, as populations decrease, the wealth recovered from a population decrease can mean a greater share of the resources for each human still living. If ten people have a hundred dollars each and nine of them die for some reason, this leaves a thousand dollars for the remaining human.

This analogy works for food, energy, shelter, etc. This does not mean ninety percent of the population need be eliminated or that any portion of the population need be eliminated. Rather, a peaceful and voluntary sway away from population growth would lead us towards a more balanced and capable harmony with Earth's declining ecosystems and atmospheric conditions.

The important questions are: how much energy can solar and wind provide safely? Is geothermal more dangerous than good? Can we safely use hydrogen, natural gas, or biofuels while we learn to upgrade our cities and towns? Can we all learn to live more simply? Can we build our cities up and not out in order to allow communities without a need for personal vehicles?

ON BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA:
___________________________________

Anyone who is still holding out hope for Obama is delusional. He is no different than Bush Jr. except in his ability to speak well and fool everyone into thinking he is a liberal. The number of neoconservative policy items he has enacted or supports is staggering.

He is no liberal nor a moderate- he is ultra-right wing conservative by his economic support for the rich, his escalation and continuation of wars, his denial of basic rights to detainees, his treatment of Bradley Manning, his continuing of PATRIOT ACT statutes, and the list goes on and on.

ON 9-11 TRUTH:
_____________________

The people of the United States have had enough time to figure this out. Architects and engineers from around the country and large segments of the world population know exactly what happened.

But, Americans, unwilling to detatch themselves from a false notion of patriotism, refuse to see the truth of the controlled demolitions. I wasn't convinced until about 2007, and, perhaps I must put myself more in the shoes of those who still do not see it because the truth of it is simply too ugly. Please wake up because as time goes on, the chances for justice and accountability slip away.
