I keep getting older. But the world stays the same age.

Ground Floor List

This is a rough draft of things I want to look out for.
A new addition to the list is... (Drum Role, please)

A licensed documentary that is produced by an INTERNATIONAL LICENSING ORGANIZATION on space travel and its origins.

An balanced perspective on both space travel from Russia, Canada, the US, China, and others. A documentary which is not produced by Disney or Discovery Channel.
By the time we live in a world where this can be made space travel will be mostly private anyway and about 1000 times less expensive. But that also means the demand for such a project would also be high what with all the recognition the technology gets. Space Elevator capable shipping between the super powers... in minutes.

If there is a person with aligned goals, I expect I'll put the effort into finding them when I'm around 40 or so.

A personal reaction to uncovering a new fact

For my first year after leaving York I lived in a neighborhood in East York, which is a slice of Toronto between the central city and Scarborough.
There was a park there, a park currently housing the Ontario Science Center.


This is the Earnest Thompson Seton park.

Why do I think this is personal? Because I know who this man is. This is the other side to the story of: The origin of Scouting. And I believe that modern Scouting has matured into E.T. Seton's image, rather than what Powell had planned.

Seton was a naturalist who experienced violence in his youth, and therefore there is a very strong anti-violence characteristic in his actions.

Powell was a man of war. He was a general, and used his 'Boy Scouts' for less dangerous missions during battles.

Can you spot the humanist? Is it difficult?

The reason I brought it up is because I respect Seton's approach and the value of understanding sustenance and resources, and also because the value of understanding these things now very much extends into a purely technological world view.

We can realize this by understanding:
a) how tech is involved in resource management (on global scales, and just some directions its going in.
b) understanding energy use and the mantra for renewable orbital solar systems.
c) being aware of what is required for a single human to survive.
d) how it is required for humanity to change is some profound way to survive the next century.

Technology is the basis for all growth in the modern world.
A new form of naturalistic thinking, the thinking of E.T., is emerging. A naturalist who understands the technological relationship as natural and inescapable. If we stop denying simple things like we need transportation and efficient farming, etc, then we can be better equipped to solve the problem with new ways of thinking. Ways that don't stigmatize modern culture the way PETA and others do.

A new form of education can be thought of. As naturalist and Scouting were crucial at the turn of the last century, teaching children of this era of the proper view of technology will eventually benefit.
Thus the Techno-Scout has been born. And I am their Powell.
