More About Me

I'm passionate about

Seeing that my future kids will grow up in a world were they can set fourth and do anything that they want, with out the prosecution of governments and capitalistic forces.

An idea worth spreading

I don't have an idea to share, good ideas spread by themselves; I only offer this way of thinking. Do not limit yourself to the possibilities of our modern society, even the greatest minds are wrong sometimes. Accept what you can determine to be truth and factual, forget the rest. Because our universe is infinite, so there could come a day were we learn everything we know is wrong.

• A comment on Conversation: Social Network or Tribe

  Mar 5 2013: Would you want to be watched all day? plus the system would be abused, its a great idea but a government should not control its people. How about we reward our government services including the military with the same process. For the people by the people is our motto so lets reward programs like education, systems that improve our ways of life. and lets reduce or eliminate any office that is wasting our money. the network page would show the employees, the total profit or loss of the office and what they have been doing. That would be much better than a few thousand people trying to watch a whole country, if it was like that you could get away with almost anything....

  A comment on Conversation: A suggestive solution to solve electric power crisis

  Mar 5 2013: Although we would use less electricity if people became more conservative, we still find ourselves with the problem that we are using the same amount of resources to create the same amount of power, we are just conserving it, so it lasts a longer time. What we need to do is go back to how we create power, most green resources are great because they eliminate the pollution created by fossil fuels, and the costs of transportation and mining of these resources. Yet we need a lot of these systems to produce enough energy to power a city. What we need is to start researching the next big field of electromagnetism for our clean energy future. There was a lot of research in the 1870's until the late 1980's on the subject of creating electromagnetic generators and capacitors that powered themselves, with little or even no input. Even more on this topic of electromagnetism, our earth is a large magnet in which creates a static field that is essentially a giant battery; a battery that could power every city in the world indefinably. Nikola Telsa and other scientists have created inventions that can transport electricity wireless and generate energy from this battery (the earth). If we coupled the to together we could provide energy to anywhere in the world (maybe not underground) but yeah everywhere in the world. This would eliminate all costs of the production process once the systems are set up. It will eliminate the need for any fossil fuel because we can power cars boats and planes with it. but
  
  yeah that's just my take on it.

• A comment on Conversation: Does a catastrophic event need to occur, for people to demand cleaner energy?

  Mar 4 2013: We will never have free energy, its already invented but it will never happen; There's no profit in it. You can go ahead and build your own free energy machine, there are patents all over the internet. Our human race had its greatest intellectual gains during its two biggest wars, because everyone was developing weapons and defensive equipment. And we are only seeing regression with out society today, so in the end we need a catastrophic event; one so large it destroys more than half the population of earth, don't get me wrong i don't want this to happen but its necessary. How to you expect to create if you have a canvas full of old broken ideas?

  A comment on Conversation: What are the challenges that gifted and creative individuals face at present?

  Mar 4 2013: Great question, I would have to say that in our current economy money is a huge issue. Many gifted and talented students are the product of lower middle class families. This is due to the fact that they have nothing but there brain, many choose to waste this with drugs or alcohol but some, some kids are inventive. They create games from nothing or create something out of the junk they have around. These kids are smarter but not as educated. Due the fact they are always thinking, and thinking outside the box. There are no limitations for these kids, they no nothing about the laws of physics and are free to string together ideas from every aspect of education they know. Because you can only go as far as you limit yourself to. So if you know nothing about limitations your possibilities are endless. Also these kids usually go noticed because they are to afraid to be wrong, because there ideas are limited due to our knowledge as a people even though these kids are probably making break throughs never thought of before.
