WELCOME!
ABOUT US
This web site was created to chronicle the journey undertaken by the author to better understand the true state of the world, both the good and the bad, in order to document in a rigorous manner where we are now, what our objectives should be and what are the most effective strategies to enable progressive change.
The scope is ambitious: the state of the ecosystems on this planet, energy use and production, economics, politics, education, social justice, social media, real versus fake news (how can you tell the difference?), technology – promises and threats.
And who is behind this effort? For the moment, my unimpressed cat and I.
Who am I? For now, my name is “Nobody,” first, in the sense that I really am nobody in particular, little versed in these subjects. I do have scientific training, though, and have vowed not only to learn as much on these subjects as I can, but to research, document and organize this information in a professional manner, so that it can be used by other citizens, who wish to better understand the world around them, what work needs to be done, how much power so many of us truly have, and the responsibility the citizenry has to wield it carefully, effectively and wisely, given the abdication by so many governments of their duty to care for the present and future well-being of our planet and every being that lives on it.
My name is also “Nobody” because I wish to remain anonymous for now, as I do not wish to mix my personal and professional lives at the moment.
I feel that there is urgency to learn, understand and act, before we all reach a point of no return, environmentally, socially and politically. It makes much more sense to make a serious voluntary sacrifice or investment now, than to have to be forced to give up our lives or those of others, as a result of environmental, social or political collapse, all of which I believe to be intricately intertwined. Human history is a chronicle of civilizations that have grown, thrived, then failed, as a result of environmental devastation, political corruption or social collapse, which have engendered famine and war.
Can we wage that war against ignorance, corruption and poor planning before we face a third world war?
