... because they don't know enough about economics and technology.
At 9 minutes 27 seconds: On gasoline subsidies and the impossibility of perpetual economic growth on a finite planet. This is a common fallacy, and a fatal one, because it is used as an excuse not to fundamentally change the economy. It is fatal, because it's the economy that is the root cause of the environmental problems. As far as energy is concerned the planet is not finite, because life exists as a flux between a hot sun and a cold background. That's how life started. So all we need to do to get sustainable long-term economic growth is to cultivate biological life on the surface of the earth, and base economic growth on the increasing value of natural resources as regards their utility in cultivating life. See Shamini Jain on Medicine and Russian Government is Clearly NOT Taking Climate Change Seriously.
At 14 mins 13 secs there is an alarming summary of dangerous effects of Glyphosate herbicide, which are much, much more serious than just cancer. That stuff is driving people insane.
It is not just arable crop farming that needs to change, it is livestock farming too:
The US seems to be a world center of expertise on sustainable agriculture:
And
And, especially for you, Evo Morales, a lesson on fertiliser:
The effects of nutrient and topsoil runoff are severely underestimated. Regeneration of inland waterways is as important as land regeneration:
And economic regeneration is almost just a byproduct of this process:
And another byproduct of this would be beautiful agricultural landscapes that people would actually want to be in:
And if these are places where people would want to be in, they would be more inclined to want to live there!
So we can reduce population density in cities and make them better places for people, and life.
If we could organise organic waste collection in cities, ...
... and process it near the points at which it is generated ...
... then most of the food people consume in cities could be grown there:
We could also eliminate all other types of waste, which is something individuals can do, even without any special support from their communities:
We would then have vastly reduced the amount of goods transport needed in cities, which would vastly improve the living environment, eliminating 95% of the dust and pollution from the air and water. If we did that, then all of the water used in cities like Cochabamba could be collected from the rainfall there ...
... and by combining architecture (see Jessica Green on Architecture for Living Spaces) and engineering with biology, air conditioning could be done without any extra energy consumption:
Yes, this is apolitical issue here!
All we need is a new economic model and prison reform: see On Retirement.
Prison is education, we just need to think a bit more carefully what people in prison learn.
What they should learn is what it is like to actually be a human being, instead of learning just what it is like to be treated like an animal.
All they need is to be given an opportunity to live like a human being. But this is not even something that any of us has outside of a prison:
So people who go to prison will be getting fast-tracked to humanity.
(Watch the debate "Trump's Achilles' Heel is Foreign Policy" here. It is very interesting!)
And most of them will appreciate that opportunity ...
... and will go on to do great things for their society, with or without help from the president they didn't have the right to vote for.
... but with ample help from a few former prison officers who are actually thinking stuff through:
The most important part of rehabilitation must be to understand the problems in society which are the most significant factors which led the inmate to become a criminal in the first place, because the aim should be to build societies which do not normally need either prisons or law enforcement. See Possibilities of New Therapies Using Natural Entheogens.
So prison reform needs to start with the US Attorney General: see Cortizol Can Cause Epigenetic Changes Which Are Inherited. Prisoners, even those who cannot read a letter from their mother, let alone write her a reply, can figure this out for themselves, and then actually do something about it themselves, so US Attorney's General do not have any excuse!
... and neither do any cops:
... because that bridge is just music:
... any music:
... but if it's two or three hundred years old then it has been heard by a lot of people, and has influenced almost every piece of modern music you are likely to hear ...
... for example, if you hear an exceptional guitar solo, such as this one, (at 2 mins 49 secs) ... or the keyboard solo at 4 mins 24 secs, ...
... look for the classical influence. Read Jon Lord's biography:
In conservative societies, such revolutions can get you into trouble though, ... Deutsche Welle just posted this programme on Astor Piazolla's Argentine Tango revolution, ... Tango Nuevo:
Mark Applebaum "putting pressure on the ontology of music". Maybe this is where music actually came from in the first place?
Rachel Claudio might agree:
See On the Psyche and Why Mathematics Works and On Connecting People. This is an example of "quilt-maker" innovation: see FT Illustrating The Problem With Modern Medicine. And I hope people can see how we could collaborate globally on musical patchworks like this, using algorithms to direct the branching and rejoining of creative currents around the world. The algorithms don't need to be complex, all we need is the basic software to combine existing video, audio graphical, textual streams in new ways, and to navigate through the branching structures using meta-data which annotates the content in such a way as to identify affiliations that are meaningful in some sense, which sense would itself be the result of a collaborative development. This, I think, must be something that has been behind musical development for centuries, but perhaps only at a subconscious level for most musicians.
If you understand the previous paragraph, then you will be able see how the same sort of ideas I have explained in a context of musical collaboration, could be applied to any arts or technology development. For example, you will see that the collection of the different ideas in this post could be sewn into a video patchwork with subtitles in many different languages, and with graphics, text, and other media linking the ideas together, and the result presented as a whole, with jusic developed collaboratively as well, and that the various different films that result from this could be seen around the world, with credit being apportioned to the contributors, be they people who provided locations for shooting video, or music, or translated subtitles, or graphics, or trailers, or provided the venue or catered for a meeting, .... and then, with a basic economic structure in place which allows people to earn credit and recognition for their collaborative contributions, we could extend the scheme to the development of the software itself. Then we would have created the kind of environment to foster innovation (see Rutger Bregman on Poverty) which will treat the problem of poverty at its source, and show how we can start to look at the human world as a true ecosystem, not a series of disconnected, and consequently fragile, sub-ecosystems, none of which on its own can treat any of the true causes of human problems.
