I would say that there is different kinds of blindness. For example when you're rich your efforts will go to protect what you have and your greed will lead you to gain more of the same, not because you need it to survive, or to have a good life, but because you can. Then we have those very entrenched in some kind of profession, narrow sight, finding it difficult to notice larger patterns. Then we have those that think that they know, or that if they now, for once, don't,  always can ask a 'expert' :)

And there are more of course.
What I think of as social norms and herd instinct are strong in us. They glue us and they lock us in.

It's not us being 'all eaters' that is wrong, it's the way we go about it that is.
and yea, cows are actually allowed to fart,  just as you :)

Can you see what I mean?

We need to start thinking, and we need to slow down. The 'chicken era' they will call it some thousand years from now digging up our remains :) Because that is the dominant species of bird on this planet for the moment.

Chicken nuggets..      fast food...
Time is money

And where will you farm?
And how?

The same procedure as every year?
Seedless seeds?
Nitrogen enriched topsoil?

Anyone seen a paddle somewhere?
We do need one

Politicians promises?
Do you know how to farm?

F* that.

Use your mind.

What people miss is that we've used the rest of the world to build those islands of modern society. But they will soon be sucked dry, so where will the rest come from?

So there's your choice.
what will you do?

In a way immigrants always will be the ultimate capitalists. They will do whatever it takes to get out of poverty, and those reaching you have been tested over and over again.

That same kind of people you worry about today
Immigrants, with a dream.

Immigrants created it :)

Kind of funny, the most optimistic dream there was. Building on unlimited assets, and if it f*ed up, you just had to move a little to start over again. And all about the right to own.

The American dream came at a time when there was only a few indigenous people left to protest, the rest was immigrants. And they all thought Earth was unlimited.

Then again, behind all belief-systems we're still the same. We're humans and together we are digging our graves.

And what that will do to whatever is left of natural assets, wild life, woods etc is a open question. We haven't managed them, but it will get worse.

But they will believe in it, and they will do whatever it takes to make it true, just as we did. And look where it took us.

It's not simple and it's not racist to worry about what the impact of let's say thirty percent more people, of a different history and different views and ways of life will have on a modern society. They will have the 'dream' but that dream is already dead and buried. It only exist with those not educated, those living in the past. If you look at 'the American dream' then that was just what it was, a pipe dream. It could never be true as it built on streets paved with gold.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: What are gravitons and how do they explain gravity?

« on: 18/11/2018 20:19:53 »

Maybe gravitons are like phonons, there by their results. The changes defines them. Maybe it's a 'field' and what we define as 'force particles' are the way the field enact observer dependently. But if you want a 'whole universe' you need something more than just observer dependencies. On the other tentacle, if you let that go?
=

On one tentacle you have 'forces'
On the other you have 'laws'

would you say that 'laws' creates the 'forces'?
=

If you do then the 'whole universe' without 'observer dependencies' is no more necessary. It's laws that defines the universes properties. Whether that would be as spotlights painting this universe or as some whole 'medium' doesn't matter for it. You just need the laws to be the same everywhere and whenever. That would also be perceived as a 'whole universe' (for you, looking out). Still, you would want something communicating between those 'spots', then again, thus that need a medium? Anybody ever held a 'photon' in his hand? :)

I would dearly like to see it.

In mathematics and physics there are such things as 'strange attractors'
Who knows?

Maybe it will hold here too. Maybe you can become one, not there by 'substance', but by the way you attract
Use your mind.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Can sound waves escape from a Black Hole?

« on: 18/11/2018 19:48:38 »

When it comes to sound you normally need a medium for it to carry. When we speak of the universe creating 'sound imprints' of, f.ex the 'Big Bang',  I don't think that holds. It's momentum, isn't it?
