Our Abundant Planet: Seeing the Forest Despite the Trees


We live in a time when our troubles are melting away. We're going beyond tribal mentality, communal fear, and ushering in an age of technological advancement, ubiquitous education, and free (yes, free) energy and water, all to create a global unity we've never seen before.  We are beginning to meet the rising billion on the internet and soon there will be more unique voices helping tackle our problems and new flows of income from unexpected places.

If anything now is the time to be prepared for the changes coming. Free energy is already out there, if solar panels and residential wind turbines aren't enough to convince you there are new fusion(fusion not fission) advancements ready to go online, the E-Cat if it pans out, and many many more. Free energy equals free water, and that is happening now with Dean Kamen's SlingShot... this is a technology that is ubiquitous, cheap, and simple and actually costs MORE when it's turned off.


Over 2012 to 2013 we will reach 70% proliferation of cellphones over the populace of Sub-Saharan Africa. What we ARE doing now:

Replacement organs are being grown and used; bladders, esophagi, and skin. Within a year kidneys/livers/lungs, and heart... but why even bother with hearts? When we have another alternative?

Millions of new minds are joining the global community almost every day and by 2020 we're looking at 5 billion new voices on the internet. 35 dollar computers capable of nearly all desktop functions are available now, imagine where cellphones will be by 2020...is it even possible to track that type of advancement over a decade? Look at how far we've already come with these...and we don't even notice.

In-vitro meat is well on it's way to our dinner tables. We could reforest 30% of our world's surface just by eliminating the land we raise our livestock on. Our livestock and meat farming practices account for 70% of emerging diseases, with in-vitro meat we eliminate that altogether. Not to mention it's just meat, no need for saturated fat and the rest. We could use Omega 3 fatty acids instead of saturated fat, or none at all. We could make our meals healthy and still eat what we want, is there no end to our hedonistic sustainability?

Caloric Restriction is also soon to come by pill, and one pill is already handing out the benefits of caloric restriction.

Stem cell research is already applicable to help spinal cord injuries as well as anti-body interception to halt and cure regenerative diseases.

These examples could go on for days. The point being, that we are NOWHERE near the post apocalyptic film scenarios our modern media would have us believe.  We have plenty of innovation here, as current technology, to handle our woes as well as emerging technologies that show us a path to a MUCH brighter future.
