You don't believe those water splitting machines work then Satya?
Hydrogen is an energy carrier, not an energy source. Talk of a hydrogen economy is laughable.
I'm not just talking about solar here, it's almost a philosophical point I'm trying to make. The point is that perhaps technology, no matter how benign it seems, could be at it's heart a negative thing for animals such as us. It could corrupt people, much like money or power.
And then the other side is that technology is in our destiny as intelligent organisms, and the problems caused by current technology is a side effect of global leaders taking the world (including it's technology) into a bad place that it doesn't have to go.
Yeah, good topic, Kyle! Technology is a huge part of our nature and has been since we first used tools. Technology is necessary, yet some technologies are detrimental to health.
For instance, cell phones are pretty dangerous devices when used above and beyond rare use. They're not as bad as thermonuclear weapons, but they are microwave emitting sources that people put close to their brains and other tissues. In fact, I would posit that some forms of radiation, depending on the wavelength, are pretty dangerously ubiquitous in our environment because 1) we cannot sense them and 2) even non-ionizing, rf radiation can cause harm depending on a few factors. If I stand in front of a live RADAR, I will not feel a thing, yet I will be damaging my body based on the distance away from it according to some polar graph.
I wish I had my own lab and could perform simple experiments to verify that the stuff in textbooks of the various natural sciences is even accurate. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the equations and reactions are not even real. How would you verify that? If some body (the scientific community controlled by economic or global domination interests) says something, and they're the only ones that can refute it, well what then? The studies on pharmaceuticals are definitely falsified so why not other stuff?
I'm often inspired by the great minds of the past; and then discouraged about how they were usually killed or banished in some way.
Physics experiments are pretty easy to do at home. You can do Galileo's rolling bodies, trajectories, electricity, magnetism, optics, simple harmonic motion, you name it.
But yeah, great minds are often silenced. How many electric car ideas have been hushed by General Motors over the years? Now look at where they find themselves? Stuck in the tar of old ideas that did nothing to address energy efficiency, all while such ideas are readily available and have been for decades. And the sheepish public lapped up those behemoth trucks and SUVs that were marketed to them by publications such as National Geographic and mediums like the Boob Tube. It's just like many people are programmed to believe they need pharmaceuticals and allopathic medicine in general. Maybe the bad news on the economy hitting people in their pocketbooks will waken many out of their
slumber stupor.
