evolve or die - a manifesto forward

a new evolution is needed

evolution is critical
- must not rely on faith
- science and evolution is needed to survive
- evolve or die

civilisation collapse - wealth of nations
- ecosystem destruction
- we are nearing the end
- ocean's end
- land's end
- atmosphere's end
- pollutant's end
- population's end
- faith's end
- we have destroyed the world's reproductive power in 5,000 years of
civilisation

bright side
- we are arguably as old as the universe
- we are arguably childern of the big bang, the milky way, our sun, our
planet
- we have survived multiple catastropic events
- chaos hasn't killed us yet
- we haven't killed ourselves yet

room at the bottom
- be the bottom
- we have to go back to the beginning
- rock eaters
- thermovores
- photosynthesis

a new wealth of nations
- ecosystem replication
- bio mimicry and then some
- life creates opportunities for life
- new sustainable energy sources are needed
- the wealth of the old nations is gone

since the issue is population control

since the issue is excess population

the solution is:

- birth control
- rewarding fewer or no children
- penalizing families with more than two children
- offering incentives to the elderly to "retire" early

disaster is the result of exponential population growth which causes

disaster is the result of exponential population growth which causes

1. expenses grow to exceed expenses
2. populations grow to exceed ecosystems
3. human societies concentrate power in fewer hands
4. global warming is a result of excess population
5. war is a result of excess population
6. civilization collapse is a result of excess population
7. pollution is a result of excess population

so why is there is excess population?

so that after the coming collapse there will be enough individuals to
carry on the species

the one good book giving tradition

Hey all - lets enjoy this holiday by celebrating the first even one good
book giving festival!

Why give one and only one book this holiday between families?

1. good the environment
2. good for the economy
3. good for learning
4. good for the future
5. good for sharing reading as a family
6. good for cooperative reading
7. good for reading alone
8. good for travelling

Entry in the Encyclopaedia Pan Galactica for "the one good book giving
tradition"

and so as christmas season comes closer
let us examine the tradition known as the one good book giving festival
this year, families all around the world are participating in the
ancient one good book giving tradition.

the one good book giving tradition is characterized by families giving
each a book wrapped in "wrapping paper" as a physical object to
symbolize non physical relationships - such as emotional bonds.

this ancient tradition dates thousands of years back, to the year 2008,
in the first 250,000 years of our species.

not much information is available about life at this time, except that
is the year many ancient societies abandoned the old tradition of
consuming vast amounts of resources to symbolize emotional in the
production and destruction of consumer goods.

finally societies found a more environmentally sustainable practice in
the tradition of families giving one good book to each other as a better
way to symbolize emotional ties.

Black holes the mother / father of all creation

"Anyway, remember this as well: even though black holes can cause death and destruction on a major scale, they also help galaxies themselves form! So we owe our existence to them."

how the economy works

1. IMAGINE THERE ARE 3 PEOPLE
HANNA, JOSH AND JEANNIE

2.imagine for some reason hanna has all the money and the other two dont
have any money

3.imagine for some reason that of the two people who don't have money,
that both of them want money

4. IMAGINE THAT FOR SOME REASON ONE OF THE TWO PEOPLE ALWAYS WANTS TO
EARN A PROFIT AND KEEP SOME OF THE MONEY THEY TOUCH

5. imagine that the other one can't figure out how to keep any money

play the game like this

1. give 4 sticks to "hanna"
2. put a bucket of sticks far away from "jeannie"
3. now ask all of them if they want more money - listen to each persons
answer
4. now ask "hanna" to ask "josh" if "josh" wants a dollar
5. now ask "josh" to say yes i want a dollar
6. now ask "hanna" to ask "josh" to give the 4 sticks to "jeannie" on
the condition the "jeannie" gives "josh" 6 sticks back when "hanna" ask
"josh" to ask "jeannie"
7. now ask "josh" to ask "jeannie" if she wants 4 sticks
8. now ask "jeannie" to say yes
9. now ask "josh" to hand the sticks to "jeannie" and you can have them
you put pay me back 6 when i ask
10. now ask "jeannie" to take the sticks
11. now ask "jeannie" to play with the sticks
12. now ask "hanna" to ask "josh" for the sticks back
13. now ask "josh" to ask "jeannie" for the sticks
14. now ask "jeannie" to give 4 sticks to "josh"
15. now ask "josh" to ask jeannie for 2 more sticks
16. now ask "jeannie" to get up and look around for sticks
17. now ask "jeannie" to find the bucket of sticks and take 2
18. now ask "jeannie" to give the sticks the "josh"
19. now ask "josh" to give 5 sticks to "hanna"

the moral is - jeannie still has nothing, josh has 1, and hanna now has
five BUT at 1 time jeannie had all the sticks, and at another time josh
had all the money

6. NOW IMAGINE THAT OUT OF 1000 PEOPLE, 1 OF THEM IS HANNA, 11 OF THEM
ARE JOSH, 989 OF THEM ARE JEANNIE

7. BUT SOME HOW hanna is able to keep getting josh to get jeannie to
give josh the money to give to hanna

priests of civilization collapse

1. the priests of rapa nui that demanded ever greater heads be carved for the future properity
2. the pension priests of wall street that demanded ever greater percentages of the economy to protect retirement incomes

how is knowledge power?

i want to know just exactly how my knowledge is power?

so i know that:

1. past civilizations collapse when they exceed their environments
2. past civilizations "priests" demand ever larger sacrifices to bring back past successes
3. the larger sacrifices require increased environmental demands from already weakened ecosystems
4. the weakened ecosystems and the civilizations eating them, have weakened immune systems and are more vulnerable to infection

if i were a prophet

if i were a prophet
here's what i see

thirsty
hungry
sick
tired
scared
greed
exclusion

these are the tools power uses to control people

i see the powerful harvesting millions of the lives of the weak

like farmers planting a crop
the powerful lull the weak into a false sense of security
and the weak bring out their lives and invest their lives and feel
powerful for a summer
while like chickens they are breed in a frenzy, getting plump for the
slaughter

and then their wealth is stripped from them
their houses are worthless

and to feed their families
men and woman sell everything

the mouse and the elephant

is it really the mouse and the elephant?
could it be the snake and eve?

how would you tell the parable of the describing the decline of
civilizations that have eaten the forbidden fruit of good and evil
and have been thrown out of paradise
and have grown old and died?

imagine the large, but mostly poor elephant
perhaps that elephant symbolizes china or india
with large populations, a very small minority of which are wealthy
beyond measure

perhaps these wealthy but small populations could be symbolized by the
elephants beautiful tail?
or perhaps the trunk?
or perhaps a tiny parasol for protecting the elephants eyes while the
rest of it's body burns?

maybe the industrialized, sparesly populated, west is represented by a mouse
perhaps a well dressed mouse, with a tiny parasol - which covers its
whole body
perahps a well dressed and well ARMED mouse, with a tiny parasol and
nuclear powered aircraft carriers

now imagine that mouse has made some amazing money making machines
which actually just take beautiful nature, kill it, and take a small
piece, and throw the rest away, and keep a tiny piece
which is quickly or slowly melting the planet the mouse and elephant live on

now, only a very minority of the industrialized west is wealthy beyond
measure
and they understand what they are doing
