the imbalancing act of economic welfare
This is the stuff that bothers me when I’m sitting here on land; and naturally, it makes me want even more time in blue solitude where I just can’t be bothered for at least a short while. Courtesy my news outlet of choice: the distribution of wealth: http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/17/news/economy/oxfam-wealth/index.html What’s wrong with this picture? Everything. I…
Read MoreOceanscrapers & Cities by and within the Sea
Every handful of years we see a short bit of press related to elaborate proposals to construct grandiose and magnificent cities beneath the sea, much like this recent piece in CNN highlighting Vincent Callebaut’s proposed ‘Oceanscraper’. These are all awe-inspiring, intriguing, and draw on dreams buried ‘deep’ within our brains that were all left by the…
Read MoreThe ‘depth’ of the ISIS problem
I’m often weary of treading within political waters on this Blog, but with the immediate state of affairs in the wake of the Paris attacks, it almost goes without saying that the subject is fair game. On September 11, 2001, I was, surely enough, diving. At the time I was spending 4-6 hours a day…
Read Moredisplacement…where will we go?
Amidst the typical news shenanigans as of late, out crept a nice CNN piece on population displacement due to impending climate change: https://www.cnn.com/2015/11/09/world/climate-change-create-poor-homeless/index.html. These are the types of issues that keep me up at night, and hopefully are keeping others up at night too. It’s very easy to get wrapped up in the propaganda of climate…
Read MoreCowspiracy | a Review
Just when you think the root of the climate change problem is finally recognized, you realize that we’ll be screaming til the cows come home. Fossil fuel consumption, yes, certainly a problem. But what about methane? My weekly Netflix mind-melting activities caught the attention of the documentary film ‘Cowspiracy‘ which focusses on the apparently taboo…
Read MoreThe World was Flat, and Now it’s Sinking
I’ve been finding tremendous value in taking steps back to reflect on how the world turns and how life ends up presenting itself. The more I do this, the more I realize that we [humans] have much more control over our fateful destiny than we often realize, and yet this predeterminism is only really put…
Read MoreSirius | a review
I managed to push the envelope this weekend and stayed up til midnight to watch the documentary film ‘Sirius’. The film follows Dr. Stephen Greer’s perhaps evangelical pursuits to expose and disclose the truth about UFO’s and extra-terrestrials. While the subject is often taken as ‘hoakie’ by the masses, I’ve always been intrigued, even to…
Read MoreThe Mass Extinction and Our Road to Nowhere
An interesting recent editorial on CNN discussed the concept that we at the onset of a new mass extinction period here on Earth. It is certainly hard to ignore that we are losing the more exotic species such as the Amazon dolphin, black rhinos, and so on, as those animals quickly become the subject matter of…
Read MoreHappy Father’s Day to Me
After winding and grinding down just one more week I made the call on the way home to take a giant stride from the norm of Friday night take-out and actually go out for dinner with the wife and kiddos. Five years ago this would have been normalcy, but in the wake of middle class…
Read MoreNASA’s Ocean Worlds Exploration Program
News of a recent NASA proposed budget to the House Appropriations Committee crossed my desk just this week, and while the vision is exciting, I’m somewhat disturbed. The punchline of the proposed Ocean Worlds Exploration Program includes ambitious life-seeking missions to the watery worlds of Europa, Enceladus, and Titan, with program development tipping well over the…
