  A comment on Conversation: Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk: Detailing the issues

  Mar 8 2013: Minority voices like Sheldrake's should be heard. The fact that most of us don't agree with him on how science works is the point of the talk. We should be able listen and make up our own mind about the vaule of his ideas.

  A comment on Conversation: What do organized communities achieve more efficiently than government? What could they achieve?"

  Oct 7 2011: It seem to me that there is a huge missing layer of organization in our society. The organized communities layer is very weak aside from the traditional ones like church and some civic organizations. Voting every 2 or 4 years and belonging to a church is not enough.

• A comment on Talk: Bill Gates on energy: Innovating to zero!

  Feb 21 2010: A fairly interesting thread for such a controversial subject. Although there seems to be a fault line between renewables and nuclear I think its clear as Gates points out - we need to go full stream ahead on all fronts at once. TerraPower does look promising because it burns depleted uranium which is part of our current storage problem.
