More About Me

I'm passionate about

living for a better world

An idea worth spreading

A person's knowing much counts for nothing if he does not live in accordance with what he knows, for the sole purpose of knowledge is that by means of it a person may become good.

Once he has become good he possesses far more than someone who knows a vast amount and yet is not good, for what the latter seeks to find through many channels, the former possesses already. - Emanuel Swedenborg.

  A comment on Talk: Birke Baehr: What's wrong with our food system

  Nov 29 2012: where Monsanto see an opportunity is in the consensus that food supply from traditional farming will not be enough to sustain a growing population without destroying the environment. so Monsanto believes they can produce edible artificial food and superior seeds that will keep up with the greater demand in the future. Even the Pope who had been against the patentization of God's creation, bought into the idea of not seeing a hungry world in the future thanks to food biotechnology. They see the possible human health and mutation risks from GMOs as a small price to pay for the "sustainability" of the race. And guys, they will eventually win every nation unless we can offer real and better solutions to that forecast. Ideas like urban farming, vertical farming, rooftop gardens, edible city gardens, aquaculture / hydroponics at home, organizations that are reforesting and helping the local economy successfully like Plant with Purpose, need to be showcased and considered in a mix of solutions that can defeat Monsanto's evil remaking of life...

• A reply on Conversation: Could the increase in wireless technology be the environmental and cellular toxicity factor for the prevalence of autism in modern nations?

  Nov 19 2012: some scientist have suggested autism is due to heavy metals toxicity in brain cells. other scientist have suggested that radio waves causes cells to shut and don't clear toxics within.

• A reply on Conversation: Could the increase in wireless technology be the environmental and cellular toxicity factor for the prevalence of autism in modern nations?

  Nov 19 2012: if we had the data we wouldn't be asking the question of the possibility. yet there is some indication that radio waves could affect our dna (study with rats), cell in the brains (toxicity not released), and neurological system (bees). but a factor then on autism might be worth exploring.
  
  that something is not talk about it doesn't mean that it went away. it may mean that people didn't care. but certainly you will find people still exploring the angles of things, old and new. it is why many are here in Ted.

  Nov 19 2012: radiation from the sun or microwave doesn't cross concrete and bones at a distance with the intensity that the new 3G, 4G and LTE cell phone signals do

• A reply on Conversation: Could the increase in wireless technology be the environmental and cellular toxicity factor for the prevalence of autism in modern nations?

  Nov 19 2012: true, but it doesn't have to be scientific to inquire if that could be the environmental causative that some wonder about autism. the purpose of the graph is not to conclude something but to ask if it is just coincidence. actually a similar coincidence is happening in other countries like Korea.

• A reply on Conversation: Debate: US Postal Service.

  Nov 19 2012: we already have private competition of delivery and mail boxes and USPS fees hurt much less specially to small business. if you eliminate government in the competition, no one will be able to afford FedEx and UPS hikes.

• A comment on Conversation: Debate: US Postal Service.

  Nov 19 2012: I think the internet is a big competition against traditional ways of mailing and that could be a good thing. People waste less paper, time and resources using emails and websites rather than paper mail and catalogs. The postal service needs to get into a Yahoo type of full service portal of other products beyond paper and boxes if they want to avoid becoming obsolete once the last generation of people avoiding computers are gone. After all, government and universities invented the internet, the right minds together could get something going. One thing I am not interested in though, is paying the FedEx and UPS international freight fees. I am not rich yet. So I hope USPS reinvents itself.

• A reply on Conversation: Is all morality about human rights?

  Nov 19 2012: it could be someone's common sense like when you think of an invention or an idea. for example, after seen someone committing detrimental acts against another even a distant community could have come with a set of new morality based rules. I don't think certain things have to evolve from something else.
