There’s No Stopping Gaia Now – The 5D Shift Moves Through the Gears
From my perspective the fifth dimension would be orthogonal to the three we understand or perhaps orthogonal to the time dimension. The latter makes sense as it plausibly is the one best manipulated by conspicuousness. We already know that it is likely that we can manipulate time, this simply makes it part of out conscious capability or mindfulness. Yet i also suspect that deep maturity is necessary for this and that few will be able to do this or have permission. In fact the fifth dimension may be truly continuous in the mathematical sense and synonymous to our idea of th... more »
New Frontiers in Psychedelic Research
Good review of our present understanding of the mind. Various drugs are revealing a lot of new concepts and it is turning out to be productive. I do not think any of the conclusions presented here are satisfactory. I think instead that the mind perceives and then adjusts Such a progress through perception opens many pages to associate with any new experience. Emotional over lays are used to handle the Necessity of choice. That is what makes it all interesting and difficult to rationalize.. . *New Frontiers in Psychedelic Research* *October 3rd, 2017* *By Anthony Tyler* *G... more »
I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.
I for one consider gun control a complete waste of time and resources. However i do think that mandatory weapons training for all who wish to buy and to own a weapon is worthwhile. Just as self restraint training with martial arts. I would apply this to all farm boys in particular. Then i would insist on a refresher every five years in which the person and his reflexes are checked out. Thus all gun owners can be expected to be very safe and responsible with weapons. I suspect that the Swiss essentially do that. Having all weapons secured under lock and key at a range is ... more »
A ‘humanely’ killed animal is still killed – and that’s wrong?
[image: Hereford cattle arrive at a meat processing plant. Photo by Daniel Garcia/Getty] We owe all living creatures an obligation to be kind because the negation reflects on our own ability to improve morally or eliminate karma. Yet that is where it ends. Arguments against animal husbandry are self negating. After all, without us, all cattle, all chickens and all domesticated anything would be simply extinct. All of us live in order to die and that includes the whole web of life. The spirit body which is apparently eternal or the next best thing supports the ...more »

Energy 100, Bjorn Lomborg on World energy mix
I am reposting here a post by Bjørn Lomborg in his fb wall early today. Thanks for this great piece, Bjorn. ----------------- The world is mostly run on fossil fuels (81.4%). Nuclear makes up 5% with 13.6% from renewables. Solar panels and wind turbines contribute less than 0.7%. When you hear 13.6% renewables, you will likely think 'wow, things are going pretty well with the change-over to renewables'. But these are not the ones you hear about. The biggest contributor is wood, used in the poor world to cook and keep warm. This leads to terrible indoor air pollution – it is actuall... more »

Ringed by cliffs, desert, and the Arabian Sea, it was at the forgotten edge of the earth. Now it’s one centerpiece of China’s “Belt and Road” initiative, and the town has transformed as a result.

An Exercise for My Readers
There has been a lot of discussion lately about how much a cut in the tax on capital will increase wages. So I thought I would pose a relevant exercise for my readers. A small open economy has the production function y = f(k), where y is output per worker and k is capital per worker. The capital stock adjusts so that the after-tax marginal product of capital equals the exogenously given world interest rate r. r = (1-t)f '(k). Wages are set by the marginal product of labor, which (by Euler's theorem) equals w = f(k) -f '(k)*k. We cut the tax rate t. Because f '(k)*k is the tax ba...more »

Blowback In Africa - Mogadishu Again!
The horrific truck bomb in Mogadishu last weekend was apparently a retaliation over a US special forces-led attack on a Somali village where at least ten civilians were killed. The truck bomber was a native of the village. Why is the US fighting in Somalia? To keep an Islamist movement with no international reach or ambition (thus far) from seizing power. What does continued US military action in Somalia produce? An enraged population ever more determined to seek revenge against the US. Does anyone think this is making us safer?

Could China's Aircraft Carrier Killer Missiles 'Sink' the U.S. Navy?

The weapons are launched from a mobile truck-mounted launcher into the atmosphere, with most likely over-the-horizon radar, satellite tracking and possibly unmanned aerial vehicles each providing guidance to a target in the open oceans.
