THE RANT ROOM

Perhaps we remove starvation
And burning Forrest and resources

Energy to sterilize and clean water and food
Turn desserts into Eden and spread out the population

I would point out we already have all the technology we need to end starvation, produce clean water and energy and reforest our deserts. In this respect FE will accomplish very little because the problem was never technology but contempt and greed.

It's very strange, almost everyone claims we can do better and we should but they never do anything about it. In fact most of the things we hear are complete nonsense like the wealthiest people paying the most taxes and being the most charitable when the opposite is true. It's fake news, propaganda meant to enable greed as if it were good when we know it's not. To make matters worse the wealthy also inhibit technology which could help others in the name of greed.

Not only do most supposedly good people do little to help others in need but the majority champion wealth and greed in people like donny trump and his billionaire friends. There dishonest in my opinion, because one cannot champion greed then claim to want to help others. So while I don't hate the populists types like trump and his supporters in my opinion they have proven what they really believe beyond the lies and conspiracy theories. I mean there the ones talking big beautiful walls, inclusion, fascist nationalism, tariffs and banning trade with starving people and racism. It's so hypocritical and such complete bs it boggles the mind. So let's be clear, these people have proven they are only concerned with helping themselves.

In fact most of our problems seem to be coming from countries like the U.S., Russia and China. The move to populism/nationalism and growth/greed at the expense of others and the environment. I mean we have more than enough technology, why can nobody afford it?. Ah there's our answer and the growth/greed based economy can never help the poor or those in need because they always want more in return. They always want more...

So in my opinion it's the people who need fixing not science or technology.

Hard to imagine a world where we call the power to us..
from everywhere around us ...omnipresent energy for the asking .

looking up at that gigantic power source in the heavens .. it seems our destiny .

we should get started ..the sky is the limit..or is there a limit ?
doing the next right thing is never easy....we should set an example.

I'm waiting for the tides to turn in our favor.

This populist wave has brought out the worst in people but it cannot last. As we speak most of the older generation in power, stuck in the past are dying in droves. The new generation is taking there place and talking about a new deal with new rules. This pandemic, the oil sector crash, climate change and a changing economy have also shown people how grossly incompetent the supposed powers that be really are.

You see the populists fear globalism not because it's socialist that's bs, but because it levels the playing field and holds everyone accountable for there actions globally. No more lying, no more fake wars to pillage resources, no more tariffs or trade bans to topple governments or corporations and no more free for all on fossil fuels, pollution and deforestation. Everyone is accountable for there actions which scares the hell out of some people used to acting irresponsibly.

So I think I will pass, I can wait until the time is right. As Tesla implied, the present may be there's but the future is ours, it's just a matter of time.

Was thinking about this some more, yes there is a limit lower than most think.

The first limitation the successful FE inventor encounters is the "friendly businessman". There very optimistic and claims to be willing to help and everything is going to be oh so wonderful. Save the children, save the economy, save the world they say and there as giddy as a six year old in a candy store foaming at the mouth. It works so long as they think your a quack with potential however once something of real value is on the table everything changes. Now the topic of conversation is contracts and investors, mansions and yachts. It sounds so simple, just sign on the dotted line as your freedom, integrity and days as an open minded inventor just came to an end.

The second limitation the successful FE inventor encounters is the "we can do this ourselves fiasco". The people are no less optimistic or giddy however now the problem lies within. Again it's all well and good so long as they think your a quack and there is nothing of value on the table. However the moment something of value comes into play everyone scatters running for the nearest patent office to protect there work. Not our work, there work or interests which is now a legality and the our seems to be missing in action. At which point our supposed friends have now become our worst nightmare as everyone tries to throw everyone else under the bus to protect there interests.

You see the limit is not science, technology or invention the real limitation is that everyone I have known who has come into contact with real technology immediately loses there god damn mind. They turn into this monster, when the human condition takes hold, where enough is never enough as dreams of untold power and wealth dance around like the Aurora Borealis in that expanse between there ears. I imagine the euphoria is similar to that of cocaine or crystal meth however I don't do drugs.

Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely
An observation that a person's sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases. The statement was made by Lord Acton, a British historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

So based on my own experience, when someone claims "the sky is the limit..or is there a limit?", we should ask how far we are willing to go?, to what end and for whom exactly?. Your not asking the right questions... in my opinion.

THE ILLUSIONS OF YOUR LIFE - the story of the stonecutter

You see in life your life, it is not important what you have, it is important what you do with the things you have...
There will always be someone or something more richer or powerful than you.
But at the same time there will always be something or someone poorer or weaker than you.
If you only compare yourself to others or other things you will only worry and keep on thinking, what if?.
And you shall never be content in your life.
Aim for the stars but know who you are and who you want to be.
