Coronaviris is Not the End of The World or Even Close to It

-The news of the day and past days has droned on in length about this latest reason to Acoust our minds with another media drama. Hour after Hour we are drilled with epic tales of the fatality numbers of people dying.Newscasts showing the results of cities clustered into small areas. This scene could be from third world countries.

Generations of mindless planning a new project to add to the clustering of places to live and work. It just proves that those who refuse to learn from the past are destined to repeat it until they learn the lesson properly (to Paraphrase).
People building living quarters on top of each other with streets jammed with moving bodies of humans. It is not a third world country at all. These cities are in 1rst world countries with modern technologies. These cities boast the most modern things to make life good. These cities for all their modern things still have people living in ridiculously close proximity to each other as was the case in the dark ages.

The most populated areas of Europe in the dark ages were desolated by the Black plague. Fleas on rats which ran rampant after cats were deemed evil by the Catholic Church. Many cats were tortured and brutally killed to appease the Pope's whim. The rats took over and were uncontrollable. Plague ran rampant. People were ignorant. Most were not even able to read or write at that time in history.

The difference I draw here is not the people's knowledge or technologies.it is the fact that there are too many people living into small space. The chance of a major pandemic is getting greater as these cities grow into Megacities.

Imagine a future city of 100Milion people. They are at the peak of technology. They have developed a society of peace and prosperity unknown to mankind's past. One day this technologically condescending city is struck by the tiniest living thing known to man, A virus. Able to mutate as nothing else imaginable.the technology would not be any difference between the dark ages and the modern or the future.
A virus is a virus is a virus.

Our cities are just too big to prevent thousands of people from contracting and killing each other. Our world has gotten too crammed together to prevent this type of disaster from happening. It will accure again, Perhaps in a more mutated and deadly form.

We must prepare our world for another more deadly virus whether or not it happens. The option would be to spread our cities out over the empty places in the world. That is very unlikely to happen any time in the future.No habitual places on this earth are not owned by someone or something.

The only preventive solution is to power up the ability to mutate a deadly virus to a helpful virus, Perhaps genetically engineering the RNA to be more adaptive to other causes.make a negative into a positive. I would hope to be studying what makes a virus so very deadly in the future. It seems to be a weak link in our genetics. It is a problem that may kill us one day if we don't find a solution.

There is one index that I have to solve the problem of big companies stalling to find solutions to our problems. During the COVID-19 lockdown, people from all walks of life got together and manufactured facemasks and worked on homemade ventilators in home workshops.

How about a Seti type research network that will work on disease cures.Home computers working in off-hours as one mass processing unit to work out solutions to our threats that are becoming our daily routine. Seti has not found intelligent life yet to my knowledge, virus infections are not intelligent life as we know it. It sure is giving our lives a run for the money.

Till next time friends.
May God Smile on you and yours.

There Is A Growing Facination To Martian Real Estate

I remember the excitement of the first 1960s Star Trek. The 1rst space shot into the outskirts of space to return to Earth.That was so shocking that Mankind would perhaps make it into the void of space.Traveling on Adrenalin based adventure to places unknown.That was the dream of my childhood friends and I."To boldly go where no man had gone before"(James T. Kirk/W.Shatner).

Flash foreword just a couple of years,okay a couple of decades...We/Mankind stand on the edge of space travel once more.Our resources strapped by drought,fires,weather patterns and the usual morons that create war and mayhem that causes disease and starvation with the darkest evil tossed in to make the misery more defined.

Lets define a little about space if you will humor an ordinary earth-man for a moment in time.Space can not feed the hungry.Space can not clean our Air or water sources.Space can not save us from nuclear devastation.Neither can space stop a devastation of germs created in the minds of the demented in their dark hole in the ground hideaways.


Cities in space can support the very wealthy who escape there.But the time will pass and sooner or later what goes up will come down.What is the point of this blog you may be asking?Okay read on if you will.

There is roughly going to be 9billion of us in the world in the next decade or so.That's 9billion mouths to feed.6-7billion homes to be had on land that belongs to governments around the world.
That scenario will quickly turn ugly at some point when all those new ideas get pushed into whatever the next generation deem Normal. I wonder if those in those floating cities will mind sharing resources and space(no pun intended)?

The Idea that we have explored all of this home base we live on is a falsehood.there is more things that we humans don't know about the space ship called earth.It is already hanging in space with a complete set of recirculating systems that clean,purify and renew the resources we need to thrive.It/The earth is in a state of rapid change as has occurred for more time than we can guess.It is a nature change as the planet ages.

The biological soup we call oceans for the moment has given us the highest protein with the most severe misuse.
Yet it returns as much to us as it can.Like a crippled servant who takes a beating from its master and still tries to serve while crippled by the beating.That servant may turn one day to reclaim it's dignity.
That is our oceans.The oceans are our survival and support system.Without the oceans we will perish.

The oceans are vastly unexplored.Yeah we got sonar patterns of the valleys and mountains under the surface.There's are all the cures yet to be discovered.Many of the sea life in the depths are unknown.That may be for the better.If you don't know its there I guess you can't hunt it into extinction.IE.the woolly mammoth...Then when science could re animated it back to life.....we debate 50years if it was okay to "kill them all" and just leave m dead.

The ocean is closer than space.There is proven intelligent life there.Whales have larger brains than humans.Dolphins can and have occasionally shown compassion to put their lives on the line to save humans from sharks. most humans stand around yelling shark,shark!There has been no such intelligent life yet to be know by the human race from out there in space.Space is beyond reaching anything that might be smarter than a rock.We sure have brought enough rocks back from the moon.So far under intense study and interrogation.....No rock has uttered a single intelligent sound.

The oceans and forests have so much to teach us,If we move our cities into the ocean.WE can plan the recycling of what we use filter out the minerals to use and return that which is food for the oceans brine.Re breathers to use the oxygen in the water.domes made of the silt of the oceans rich bottom.
Farm the areas that need the most protection.

Power the cities by the salt and waves of the oceans.
Farm the sun and wind above the surface.

WE MIGHT EVEN learn to communicate with each other.Maybe even learn from the natives what makes the ocean their home and how to survive there.After all to my knowledge those citizens of the deep have never to mankind's knowledge had a major war.Most bloodshed there is of a survival food nature.

All the science that is used to rocket off into the blackness of space is truly wonderful.It is a credit to those who dream of meeting the Vulcans or Klingons one day.The hard working scientific folks who have such dreams are to be commended.I would never try to demean any of them.They are among the truly remarkable brain trusts on earth.

Think of what that focused brain power could create for our world to explore the oceans of our own world.Maybe if WE THE PEOPLE get our....um,er,SELVES together maybe if there are greys or reptilian kings or a Mr. SPOCK out there we would be worth a closer look up close and personal.Don't you think?

Atlantis will never rise out of the sea.But we do have the abilities to build a pretty good facsimile
of the place.Maybe even improve the idea.It won't save mankind from desolation by itself.We seem bent on self deletion.It could give us reason to rethink our world and each other.

We could use that time to think and contemplate a possible future.

This has been the first of a Blog direction away from politics and things that seem a circus of errors and fools.

Till next time dear friends.Keep the faith and pray to that which you believe in for guidance and peace.
