    Hi:

    It can be a small world in this stuff. Christopher Bird wrote the book on Naessens:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#naessens

    and was planning on writing a biography on Yull, but he died before he could write it. However, he wrote articles about Yull, and before I met Yull, I did my homework by reading Bird’s articles:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#_edn47

    and a pile of other documentation on Brown and Brown’s Gas before I met Yull. Yull and I talked about Bird as I was driving him back from the airport, and Yull said that Bird was a “good man.” I wish that Yull was a better man. Yull’s antics with Dennis were some of the later events in the evolution of my perspective. Inventors do not have any more integrity than the general population, or if they do, it is so small that it can’t be measured. And inventors are rolling the dice, hoping to hit it big with their inventions, so greed ends up rearing its head, especially when you are talking about disruptive energy technology or the means to solve the nuclear waste problem. Mr. Mentor was the closest thing to an altruistic inventor that I ever met:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#glimpse

    and that misled me for many years about inventors. Creativity does not confer integrity. I believed in the inventor route to FE twenty-five years ago, but I don’t anymore. I got educated in the real world. I am also a bookworm, so not only did I get educated on Brown’s Gas before I met Yull, but I also boned up before I spoke at the DOE hearings:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#yull

    and when I began researching in earnest, as I researched and wrote what became my site today, I encountered nuclear cheerleaders:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#nukes

    and went deep on nuclear energy, accidents, and the like. With my chemistry background, it was a truly horrifying experience to research how they process nuclear fuel. It is a witch’s brew of the most toxic chemistry that I have heard of, with the strongest acids known to humankind used to manipulate the nuclear ingredients. And that is just the chemical part. When you begin snooping into the effects of ionizing radiation, it really turns into a nightmare. Ionizing radiation is electromagnetic radiation at very short wavelengths, known as X-rays and gamma rays.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    The shorter the wavelength of the light, the more energy in it. What X-rays and gamma rays do is strip electrons away from their atoms. Any molecule that has an electron stripped from it will become ionized. It will then try to steal an electron from something else, to be made whole again. Free radicals do the same thing, and the oxidative stress from free radicals may be the primary reason why organisms age. Inhaling a puff of cigarette smoke, for instance, introduces many billions of free radicals into the lung. That is why smokers get lung cancer; the free radical damage that comes from the smoke. Dead food, alcohol, and other substances induce oxidative stress. The very word “intoxication,” means that you are being poisoned. Intoxicants generally create their intoxicating effect by interrupting enzyme activity. As I stated in an earlier post:

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post506945

    enzymes are catalysts for biological reactions, and without them, life would not exist. A most potent enzyme disruptor is the fluoride ion. In biology experiments, fluoride is used to poison enzymes. Because fluorine holds its electrons more tightly than any other element, it is always looking to bind with something to get an electron to complete is shell, and fluorine is never found floating around in nature, and forms the smallest negative ions known to science. So, looking into the history of compulsory fluoridation, which is in my water supply, is to tour the dark side of the force:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm

    It is evil on top of evil, and discovering that the fluorine ion particularly damages the brain was delightful:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#harold

    That fluorine essay was first written in 1998, and I would like to give it a makeover, but we will see when I get the luxury of time. I am currently reading another Peter Ward book, and a fascinating one that I will summarize at Avalon when I finish it. It has to do with oxygen and evolution. In his brief chemistry narrative, he notes that fluorine can create more powerful reactions than oxygen can, but fluorine makes organic molecules explode. It can really be disorienting to read biologists say how deadly fluorine is to biology, and then realize that it is being added to my water supply as “medicine.”

    Time to run off to work.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    I don’t want to go too far afield on the fluoride issue, but it is somewhat germane to my upcoming essay. As I stated recently, enzymes can be very ornate looking:

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post506945

    Although the ADA would have you think otherwise, the evidence is unequivocal that fluorine ions damage enzymes:

    http://www.fluoridedebate.com/question23.html

    and the mechanics of the damage are known:

    http://www.greens.org/s-r/36/36-02.html

    Hydrogen bonds are not as strong as covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons. Hydrogen bonds are where the positively charged hydrogen atom in a compound (the other atom in the covalent bond “hogs” the electron, such as in water) is attracted to the negatively charged atom in a neighboring molecule (such as the oxygen atom in an adjacent water molecule). Enzymes rely quite a bit on hydrogen bonds for how those complex proteins keep their shape. The enzymatic action is not hard to understand when you can imagine that molecule presented in that GIF:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GL...small_fast.gif

    The enzyme’s shape is what helps set the stage for the molecules to link up with them and have their reactions, because their electron shells were brought into position to react with each other. In the popular science, it can be presented as a lock and key arrangement. The enzyme is the key:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme#...d_key.22_model

    that unlocks the electrons to interact, and a chemical reaction takes place, one that is vital to running the living organism. When a fluorine ion appears, it has a higher affinity to a hydrogen atom that has a hydrogen bond, and it disrupts the hydrogen bond, with the hydrogen atom now bonding with the fluorine ion instead of the neighboring molecule in the enzyme. The enzyme now gets its shape altered, bent if you will, as the fluorine atom has “parasited” itself onto the hydrogen atom, disrupting the hydrogen bond that the hydrogen atom formerly had with a neighboring atom in the enzyme. A bent enzyme will no longer serve its purpose. It is like trying to put a bent key into a lock. That is how the fluorine ion damages enzymes, called “poisoning” them. And because the fluorine ion is the smallest negatively-charged ion known to science, it can get into nooks and crannies of enzymes that other molecules, atoms, and ions cannot.

    I will probably update my fluorine essay to give some more detail on how it poisons enzymes, but it will be awhile. My energy essay comes first, before anything else, unless I get an event like Brian O dying.

    Going to bed now.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi:

    I am working way too many hours right now, but briefly…

    Over the years, whether it was looking into the effects of low-level nuclear radiation, fluoride, smoking, industrial chemicals, processed food, microwave radiation of cell phones or power line effects, they all produce low-level, long-term exposures, and they are all damaging to human biology. In all of those instances, the long-term exposure to those substances and phenomena induces stress, usually oxidative stress, which is what primarily ages us. Because low-level stress can be subtle, in all of those areas it can be a numbers game, and in all of those areas, there are scientists on the corporate and government payrolls whose jobs consist of making those dynamics appear harmless. Some of the worst offenders are caricatures of scientists:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/simon.htm#stare

    Acute doses and acute stresses are spectacular and easy to diagnose. The long-term, chronic exposures, and the long-term chronic conditions that come from them, are more subtle and vulnerable to statistical gamesmanship. Far too often, the data regarding exposure and damage is classified by the government, such as has been done with fluoride and nuclear radiation:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/fluoride.htm#harold

    Two-thirds of Americans die of chronic conditions, which are mainly artery disease, cancer and diabetes. They are all caused by chronic, long-term exposures to abusive conditions (and being history's fattest humans is a huge part of the problem). I have yet to update my medical racket essay for the information, but one of the co-authors of the most cited research on the causes of cancer had a conflict of interest:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Doll#Controversy

    His study showed that lifestyle choices - smoking, diet, and alcohol consumption, mostly - were the primary causes of cancer, and I don’t doubt that those are the lion’s share of the cancer cases, but his study also took his corporate polluter patrons off the hook. Unfortunately, that kind of prostitution by revered scientists is all too common, especially in the medical sciences, which is why physical scientists sometimes say that medical science is not a science at all, but a pseudoscience that is designed to serve its patrons, not the public good. There is a great deal of truth to that. Once in a while, a Nobel Laureate will tell the truth about what is happening:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#pauling

    But while the public sleeps and is easily herded by the social managers, with the bread and circus distractions that are thrown their way, this situation will continue, as horrifying as it is. FE can pop the paradigm, but, as you all know well, my thrust is that only when FE is integrated into a comprehensive perspective will enough of us be able to roll that boulder, because will all be pushing the same direction, and not getting spun up in tangents that fragment the effort and can be highly counterproductive. We are our own worst enemies, and that is the primary reason why we do not have FE today, not what the “bad guys” are doing. But a person needs to begin to think like a creator to grok that, and take responsibility. In today’s world, that is almost never seen, which is the root of the problem. If enough of us woke up, busting the paradigm would be easy, but waking up is the hard part, and it begins in the heart.

    Time to run off to work.

    Best,

    Wade

    I just wanted to take a moment to thank the author of the feast, Bill, and people like Ilie and Paul. Avalon would not exist without their efforts. Yesterday, my wife was reading some of this thread, to see what her husband is up to, with all that writing in the wee hours.

    Hi:

    Briefly, before I go to work. Here is a little post on what I have been learning in my geophysics, evolution, and anthropology studies over the years. I have summarized some of the highlights before:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#revolutions

    But life on Earth has always been an energy game above all else. The scientists have that part right, even though they miss the boat on the issue of consciousness, which is why they virtually all end up as Level 3s:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#level3

    We all get some kind of indoctrination, and at this juncture in history, the indoctrination has always been scarcity-based:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant

    which blinds the adherents to reality. Just like Americans think that the media tells them the truth:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#big

    White scientists think that they are learning all about the secrets of the universe. Black scientists must laugh at them:

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...nce#post496281

    The beginnings of the universe and the beginnings of life on Earth are shrouded in mystery, with White Science trying to replace Genesis with its Big Bang and other wild tales. Evolutionists are trying to explain the beginnings of life. The prevailing theory today is that life came into being just once, and has essentially been an uncontrolled chemical reaction ever since, which will continue until Earth can no longer supply the proper environment. Life is a fragile commodity. As I stated earlier about enzymes:

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post512641

    processes that rely on hydrogen bonding (plants and trees rely on it to move water upward in their bodies) can get damaged relatively easily. Life on Earth is soft stuff, and the environments that it can survive in are pretty specific. That is why life as we know it does not appear to exist in this solar system other than on Earth. We may find microbes on other solar system bodies, but complex life (as we know it) probably does not exist anywhere else in our solar system, and it takes light a few years to travel to the nearest star system. I can see why White Scientists, the enlightened ones at least, are highly concerned about what humans are doing to the biosphere. Just as I have read several books by the anthropologist generalist Brian Fagan, I am becoming a Peter Ward fan in my old age. I am in the middle of reading his Out of Thin Air, and just bought his The Medea Hypothesis and Under a Green Sky. Ward is the rare scientist who is not only a leading scientist in his field, but one who also writes well for the lay public. He is a popularizer in its best sense.

    In his Under a Green Sky, he opens with a quote from climatologist Wally Broecker, which reads:

    “The climate is like a wild beast, and we are poking it with sticks.”

    I’ll have more to say about Ward’s Out of Thin Air when I finish it, but in general, his hypothesis, and he posits many testable hypotheses in his book, is that oxygen levels over Earth’s history may have been the trigger for the big changes in life. Declines in oxygen levels coincided with virtually all of the mass extinctions, and the animals that could adapt to low oxygen levels were the ones that thrived when oxygen levels once again increased.

    Ward even posits that the invasion of the continents by plants and animals would not have happened unless Earth had the high oxygen levels that it had back then (a little over 400 million years ago). He also theorizes that land was colonized in two waves: the first around 420 million years ago (the first land animals may have been scorpions), and the second about a hundred million years later, when oxygen levels hit about 30% of the atmosphere, which has never been achieved before or since. That period is when dragonflies had wingspans of nearly three feet, and some shellfish had ten-foot-long shells. Today, it is pretty universally accepted that high oxygen levels created that era of gigantism.

    Complex life on Earth would not be possible if it did not learn to harness oxygen reactions:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#aerobic

    which provide nearly twenty times the energy that anaerobic reactions do. Ward argues that most mass extinctions were due to animals not being able to adapt to lowering oxygen levels, and those that could ended up thriving. I’ll write more on that later, but birds are far more energy efficient than mammals are. They descended from dinosaurs, which developed a lung system that is highly superior to the one that mammals have – birds essentially never exhale, but every breath brings air to their lungs. That is why climbers can die of oxygen starvation on top of Mount Everest, while far above them, a flock of geese flies over. That aerobic advantage is also why birds live so much longer than equivalent-sized mammals do (albatrosses live to perhaps 150 years old). Their respiration systems have far more slack in them than mammals do, because flying is the most energy-demanding activity on the planet.

    So, when oxygen levels drop and mass extinctions occur, it is literally because the extinct animals ran out of energy. They could not ingest enough oxygen to achieve the necessary biochemical reactions. They could not burn their fuel quickly enough to supply their needs, and starved.

    The collapse of civilizations over the millennia has the same cause: the civilizations ran out of energy. As civilizations grew and became more complex, their energy needs increased. Today, you will hear environmentalists talk about carbon footprints, but they primarily only say “carbon footprint” because we are burning hydrocarbon fuels to get our energy. With FE, the term “carbon footprint” becomes pretty meaningless. It is really an energy footprint. As cities grew, their energy footprint grew. The Roman Empire deforested huge tracts of land and conquered its neighbors, and it its peak, Rome’s food largely came from Africa. It overextended its energy footprint to the point where it collapsed. All collapsed civilizations had the same dynamic of overextending their energy footprints. Sometimes it was related to deforestation and the resultant siltation and aridity of encroaching desertification, like the Mycenaean civilization. Historians generally invoke “internal weakness” for the success of invasions, but those invasions always came after decline, and internal division always had an economic root, which in ancient civilizations always meant food.

    Epic droughts brought an end to the Classic Mayans, the Anasazi and Angkor Wat, all around the same time, during the Medieval Warming Period. Droughts meant no food – again, it is an energy dynamic. For complex life forms, the equations are no oxygen = no energy, and no water = no energy, and especially no sunlight = no energy. Humans are animals, although allegedly sentient ones:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sentience

    If we run out of hydrocarbon fuel in our industrial age, and if FE is successfully kept from public use, then the collapse will make all previous wars, famines, and pestilences look like warm-ups. That is what I am trying to help avoid with my work. FE can also help manifest Heaven on Earth:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#advanced

    In fact, nothing else really can, as far as I can see. When that future heavenly world that Roads glimpsed is considered:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/visions.htm#roads1

    the technological marvels can be highly impressive, but if you think about it, a prodigious amount of FE is being used. Mile-wide electromagnetic bubbles that a tornado could not dent is not only hard to comprehend from where we sit today, but the amount of energy required is mind-boggling. When everybody in that world over age six has their own personal bubble that they can travel the planet with, the energy needs of something like that is comparable to today’s rockets into space, which is humanity’s most energy-intensive activity. The rainbow expressway that graces the heavenly Earth would also use energy in amounts that are unfathomable today. Make no mistake, they created their heavenly world from their loving hearts, but energy was the author of the feast. And I strongly believe that their loving hearts are what allowed them to tap FE to the extent that they did.

    And what does that have to do with today and my work? Everything. Love is the energy of Creation:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#greatest

    and when enough of us can master the lessons of love, FE and Heaven on Earth will be laughably easy to attain.

    Time to run off to work.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi

    Would you care to participate in a simple "scientific" experiment exposing human "addiction" to energy? It requires just one day off the grid.

    Here is an outline of the experiment (v0.1):
    Try to turn off your main switch in the fuse box, turn off your water and gas valves. If you leave your apartment avoid any means of transport (elevator, escalator, bus, train, taxi, car etc. i am not sure of bicycles...) or public venues like shopping malls restaurants. You can not eat or drink on that day. Sorry Using your muscles to move your body around or to move matter from place to place is OK. Pushing buttons/levers/switches with your muscles does not count as "moving matter from place to place" in this experiment No money should be involved.

    Prepare an experiment logbook in advance. And pen Carry it with you everywhere on that day. Take notes (time of day, attempted activity, your emotional state, other observations) every time you discover you are unable to complete certain task. Try to not limit yourself in the attempts of your usual daily activities. Emergency situation automatically aborts the experiment of course with accompanying logbook entry. Let us discuss and compare our experiences.

    This draft probably needs some refinement. Or v0.2 after test run of v0.1

    If you live in a city (like me) you will probably discover you live in a deadly trap

    What do you say? Do you think it makes any sense to do it? Do you think it should be synchronous event or everybody decides when to commence it on their own?

    Wade, do you feel this invitation and any answers to it should be moved to a separate thread?

    Hi Robert:

    You are taking Heinberg’s suggestion a step further. Heinberg just asked people to take a good look around and think about the role of energy in our lives:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/radio.htm#heinberg

    Sandy had an experience not long ago, where she was without power or drinkable tap water, and she thought about FE all day long.

    Yes, it can really drive home the energy issue by doing that. If it turns out to be a big experiment, then yes, having its own thread would make sense, but no need to do that yet. Feel free to kick around the idea here.

    Our tools made us. Set us loose naked in the great outdoors, and not many of us would last a week. Civilized life is a vast distance from “primitive” living. The survivalists here in the USA really don’t have a clue. The best that a survivalist could do in the event of a collapse is hold it together for a brief time, and then it is going to be back to the cave.

    On that thread that you began, it got kicked about to hilarious effect:

    So, go for it, young man.

    I’ll write more on that later, but birds are far more energy efficient than mammals are. They descended from dinosaurs, which developed a lung system that is highly superior to the one that mammals have – birds essentially never exhale, but every breath brings air to their lungs. That is why climbers can die of oxygen starvation on top of Mount Everest, while far above them, a flock of geese flies over. That aerobic advantage is also why birds live so much longer than equivalent-sized mammals do (albatrosses live to perhaps 150 years old). Their respiration systems have far more slack in them than mammals do, because flying is the most energy-demanding activity on the planet
    Hi Wade,

    Do you have any links for the "birds do not exhale" stuff?

    When I was a kid I used to chase chickens around and when I finally caught one I recall it breathing quite heavily in my hands with inhale and exhale... Now this was quite a long time ago and I did not pay attention to it, but it sure seemed like they exhaled.

    From the biology class I do recall something about birds having a super efficient breathing system, required for flight.

    I guess I'll have to look into it, but if you have some links to share, that would be nice

    Turns out the birds do exhale

    Visit this link and click on the Animation tab: http://bcs.whfreeman.com/thelifewire...8/4802001.html

    But the air flow through the lungs is unidirectional. This is done smartly using air sacks. (There are probably quite a few air flow systems that could be improved in this way...)

    Hi Ilie:

    I did not mean that air never came out through their mouths. What I meant was that they never do what mammals do, which is move their lungs and not effectively inhale. Fresh air goes over the lungs on the “inhale” and “exhale.” That gives them a huge aerobic advantage, and is the main reason why they can fly. Flying is the most energetically-demanding activity that any animal performs. Flying insects are the most aerobically efficient animals on Earth.

    Also, birds have far more efficient mitochondria than mammals do, thought to be an adaptation for the demands of flight. That energy efficiency means far less free radical “pollution,” which is likely the primary reason why birds live far longer than equivalently-sized mammals. Birds descended down a different evolutionary line than mammals did. Free radicals are largely what age us. When a smoker takes a puff, many billions of free radicals are ingested into his lungs. That is why a smoker lives about ten years less than a non-smoker, on average.

    I’ll try to give a summary of Ward’s book when I finish it. Nick Lane’s Oxygen covers somewhat similar territory, as does his Life Ascending.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi

    Some of the inhabitants of the State of Virginia and District of Columbia, have to involuntary go through my proposed "experiment". Aprox. 1 000 000 people are off the grid now due to this friday heavy weather. It knocked the power grid off. Bringing it up will take a week... Sweet
    Source: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-...eat/?tag=stack

    If some Avalonians live in the affected area and somehow can read this, please use this oportunity and observe first hand how the energy really runs the show on earth...

    Add to this a heatwave of 100F tormenting the neighbourhood. Hellish!

    I have an impresion that your country is constantly whiped by Nature. All those tornadoes, wildfires and droughts almost every year... This must be freeky! With FE in place it would be just a Nature's Great Performance for us to comfortably sit down and admire...

    Hi Robert:

    Yes, they are going to have a rough week. Several years ago, Seattle had a windstorm in December, and it knocked everything out….except for the city block where my office is. We were the only office in Bellevue that worked that day, and everybody came from miles around to go to the movie theaters and restaurants on my block. The movies were packed, and it did not matter what was playing – people were just trying to stay warm. It took a week for many areas to get their electricity back. People were coming into the office to work on the weekend, just to stay warm.

    Yes Robert, urban life becomes dramatically different without the energy that most of its inhabitants take for granted, and most have no idea where it really comes from. Cut off electricity and water, and every industrialized city quickly becomes inhabitable. Cities are big energy sponges, sucking in oil, electricity, gas, food, water (energy drives the hydrological cycle that provides that water) and other energy resources from the hinterland. Virtually every pre-industrial city was built on a river or body of water, which often provided water but, more importantly, it also provided low-energy transportation to the city. Water travel was many times more efficient than overland. In 1800 in the USA, the cost to ship a ton of freight thirty miles overland was the same as shipping it all the way to England (a hundred times as efficient).

    Industrialization that led to rails, and then paved roads a century later for cars, made other modes of transportation viable. But coal power eventually overcame wind power, as coal energy could be produced on demand, while wind could not. In the early days of American industrialization, before electricity could move the power to where it was needed easily, American factories, and their attendant towns for the workers, were built along rivers where water wheels could harvest that energy from the hydrological cycle. As coal-fired cities took over, those factories and towns were abandoned.

    Back to birds and flight for a minute, but first…

    The fossil record was given its relative age classifications long before radioactive dating was invented. The various periods, such as the Permian, Devonian, Silurian, Cambrian, and so on, were named for the places where the fossils of that period were first found. Radioactive dating came along a hundred years later, to put absolute dates to the strata. As I have stated before, I planned to take up the dating issue as a hobby when I found the time, and the research for my upcoming essay has happily taken me into the dating issue quite a bit. I kind of got a lot of what I was looking for “accidentally.” The challenges that I have seen to the dating methods do not seem to hold up. Scientists have been able to independently adduce dates, using a wide variety of methods, for ice cores, coral reefs, tree rings, volcanic outflows, ocean and lake sediments, sedimentary layers of rock, moon rocks, meteorites, fossils and pollen. The means have become increasingly sophisticated, with mass spectrometers, gas chromatographs, and other tools, along with new ways to investigate with them. There is a wide range of radioactive substances that are measured for their decay rates. Also, as I have written about before:

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...-18#post505027

    biochemical processes favor the lighter carbon-12 over carbon-13, because it takes less energy to do so, which are both stable isotopes, and they can measure sedimentary rocks and possible fossils and tell if life left that smear on a rock that they weren’t sure was a fossil, because it did not leave calcified remains. Hard parts fossilize, as silicon slowly replaces the carbon. Fossils almost never form, but in choice conditions they can. The carbon 12-enrichment of hydrocarbons is one of the many nails in the coffin of the abiotic theory of oil hydrocarbon formation championed by people such as Thomas Gold. The Stalinist scientists who revived abiotic theory in the 20th century did so before plate tectonics and other geological processed were understood, and abiotic theory has fallen by the wayside:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogen...trial_argument

    The story pieced together over the past two hundred years, which has cost the lifetimes of innumerable fossil hunters and scientists, has shown how life evolved from simple, unicellular organisms (prokaryotes), to complex unicellular organisms (eukaryotes), to multicellular oceanic life forms that “exploded” in complexity in the Cambrian period, and a hundred million years later, complex life forms began to colonize the continents, and eventually some took to the air. Rising and falling oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, and other gases, moving continents, varying ocean currents, advancing and retreating ice sheets, an ever-increasing solar output and an ever-widening distance between the Earth and the moon (hundreds of millions of years ago the moon was far closer, and all of Earth’s tides were like today’s Bay of Fundy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Fundy), periodic volcanic eruptions and bolide impacts have all shaped the history of life on Earth. Life had to evolve to cope with all of that change. There have been about fifteen mass extinction events in the past 500 million years, with several of the greatest wiping out most of Earth’s complex life forms. We are currently in the midst of the sixth mass extinction, and this is the first caused by a complex life form: people:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#_edn5

    Humans are wiping out plant and animal habitats in their quest for energy security, literally eating some species out of existence, and human-induced climate change, which no climate scientist who has not sold his/her soul to the hydrocarbon lobby doubts, is one more threat that humanity is inflicting on the biosphere. About 20% of all mammals, birds and amphibians are currently threatened with extinction due to human activities:

    http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/...re-threatened/

    Earth is on the steepest extinction trajectory since that bolide impact killed off the dinosaurs, clearing the stage for the ascendance of mammals.

    An enlightened implementation of FE can make all of those catastrophic dynamics disappear almost overnight. All of humanity can live at a standard of living that makes Bill Gates look like a pauper, and do it in a way that is completely harmless to the biosphere, and our fellow denizens of Earth can take over again before we so rudely interrupted.

    But back to birds, and I’ll have more to say in the coming week, but Ward’s thesis is that low oxygen levels spurred evolutionary innovation perhaps more than anything else over the past 500 million years. Billions of years ago, there was no oxygen in the atmosphere, but a billion years of photosynthesis by cyanobacteria changed all of that:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/upcoming.htm#aerobic

    and life forms eventually learned to use oxygen in their respiration and photosynthetic processes, because it provided far more energy than anaerobic processes. But the wildly rising and falling oxygen levels over the past 500 million years led to mass extinctions and astounding periods of animal dominance of the ecosystems. Ward’s thesis is that low oxygen precipitated nearly all mass extinctions, and those animals that could adapt to low oxygen levels survived the mass extinctions and then came to dominate the next phase.

    The reptiles that became dinosaurs, specifically sauropods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauropoda ), are now thought to have evolved the air-sac breathing system in response to low atmospheric levels of oxygen, at less than 15%, as compared to today’s 21%. Birds descended from that line. With the air-sac system, air was not inhaled into the lungs, but into air sacs, and the air passed over the lungs on the way out. Air passes over the avian lung in only one direction. Not only is there no diaphragmatic inhale/exhale process with bird lungs, that unidirectional airflow allowed for what is called countercurrent exchange, where the air flow and blood flow through the avian lungs run in opposite directions, increasing the opportunity for the blood to get oxygenated in the lung. Where mammals have diaphragms so the lung can expand and contract as its dead-end lungs fill with fresh air and expel the waste air from respiration, the bird inhales into its air sacs, not its lungs. Where I previously said that birds don’t really exhale, it may be more accurate to say that the lung is constantly exhaling. But since it is getting fresh air rather than expelling stale air, you could say that they don’t have an exhalation stroke for the lungs. It is always inhaling. That lung efficiency is primarily why birds have about 33% more efficiency at extracting oxygen from the air as mammals do at sea level, and at 5,000-foot elevation, they are about 200% more efficient. The birds’ ability to extract oxygen so effectively is why a climber can be dying on the top of Mount Everest from oxygen starvation, and his last dying vision can be watching a flock of geese fly over, far above him.

    My weekend will actually be not too crazy, and I may finish Ward’s book this weekend and report more fully on it. At some time, I have to stop all the reading and start writing. I wish a had a couple of years of free time to further research and write that upcoming essay, but what I have done so far will have to be good enough for now. I can see that energy essay getting makeovers over the years as I dive into other areas, and deeper into areas that I have already been sinking my teeth into, but energy will be the star of the show: what it is, where it comes from, how do life forms acquire, preserve and use it, and how an upright ape was able to use its forepaws and increasing brain capacity to wrench ever-increasing amounts of energy from its environment, which led to unprecedented forms of tool-making, social organization, and environmental manipulation that we call civilization today.

    The essay will deal, perhaps most importantly, with how humans have socially and ideologically adapted to that situation, and how the end of energy scarcity can initiate an epoch of the human journey that is virtually unimaginable to the vast majority of humans today. The Domestication Revolution was likely unimaginable to the hunter-gatherer peoples that preceded it – it just kind of happened, as necessity was the mother of invention after humans killed off the world’s easy meat and the hunting bands had a hard time finding food as their territories shrank, as they battled their neighbors. The Industrial Revolution was also unimaginable to the vast majority of pre-industrial peoples. There was no master plan. It was also the child of necessity of finding new ways to acquire and use energy. That the Industrial Revolution began in England, which turned to coal after it wiped out its forests, was no random dynamic.

    Similarly, the epoch of what free energy can initiate is currently unimaginable to the world’s people, partly because scarcity is all that is taught:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant

    and all that people know. True abundance is virtually unimaginable to the world’s people:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/abund.htm

    even though the means to have it have been around longer than I have been alive:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#underground

    As I have been saying for years, I am just trying to make FE and what can come with it imaginable:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/scarcity.htm

    If, when I cash in my chips, if I have helped enough people simply imagine it, then it will be mission accomplished for me in this lifetime.

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/camelot.htm#imagine

    If enough people can imagine it, then maybe we can have it, and not because we stumble into it. Godzilla and friends make sure that nobody who does will have it for long.

    Time to do some chores for a while, but I plan to make at least one more quality post this weekend.

    Best,

    Wade

    ... But while the public sleeps and is easily herded by the social managers, with the bread and circus distractions that are thrown their way, this situation will continue, as horrifying as it is. FE can pop the paradigm, but, as you all know well, my thrust is that only when FE is integrated into a comprehensive perspective will enough of us be able to roll that boulder, because will all be pushing the same direction, and not getting spun up in tangents that fragment the effort and can be highly counterproductive. We are our own worst enemies, and that is the primary reason why we do not have FE today, not what the “bad guys” are doing. But a person needs to begin to think like a creator to grok that, and take responsibility. In today’s world, that is almost never seen, which is the root of the problem. If enough of us woke up, busting the paradigm would be easy, but waking up is the hard part, and it begins in the heart.
    This summarises the current situation as I see it so well!

    My own development path of discovery of the mess in which humanity currently lies:

    led to irritation

    which led to anger and frustration

    which led to outrage

    which led to vain attempts at sharing my awareness with unaware people.

    Recently, this finally led to a feeling of great sadness in me - a sort of mild but pervasive depression in reaction to my apparent impotency. I was in trouble.

    Now, in no small measure due to your posts, I seem to have broken through to become calmer, happier, less upset that so many others in the world don't share my views and understanding of our grim situation and how we can improve it.

    Thanks again!

    Hi Oxopoborn:

    That was one of the best “mission accomplished” posts that I have ever received, and thank you for sharing it. I am honored to have helped. My journey took your stages to extremes that I barely survived with my sanity intact. I would not wish my journey of awakening on anybody:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#believing

    but it can wake you up.

    Yes, one of the hard lessons, and almost every newbie needs to learn to give it up, is to think that you can somehow lead the unaware to the light by talking to them. It ain’t gonna happen that way. The best that any of us can do is be a good example, but if the unaware may have some kind of awakening experience by the examples of our lives, it is still not going to help the FE situation much. The FE situation needs the best that humanity can muster to get us over the hump, and the fast asleep are no help, which is nearly all of humanity at this time. The asleep will begin to wake up to FE and abundance when it is delivered to their homes:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#machiavelli

    If FE is going to happen, take humanity from the brink of the abyss, and catalyze something like Heaven on Earth manifesting, it must come from the fully sentient or those well on their way. There are not many of those running around on the planet today, but it won’t take many, either. And Godzilla knows how it all hinges on the energy situation, which is why people like Dennis are offered a billion dollars to go away before Godzilla lowers the boom:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#offer

    Our friends, family, and associates will tolerate our “enlightened” chatter at best, and will attack and ostracize us at worst. When my mother saved up the newspaper clippings about us, and took them on tour to my friends and family:

    https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post400492

    it was one of the many exclamation points to my journey, which told me what sad shape humanity is in. I seek people like you, and all I want you to do is think. Later, much later, you may sing, but it won’t be to your family, friends and neighbors, but the target audience is going to be the awake and the awakening. That is a ways down the road for my plan, and we will see how it goes.

    Thank again.

    Best,

    Wade

    I am not sure if to be happy or not about peak oil being a reality.

    I wonder what kind of thoughts have had the "peak huntsmen" and "peak pre-industrial-men" before the new paradigm actually took over.

    However the FE energy paradigm is not really comparable with domestication or the industrial revolution. They've simply found bigger pies that before, but was still a "limited pie". With Free Energy the "how to cut the pie" thing will become obsolete. Indeed abundance was never experienced before. We don't actually know what it means or how it looks like... (and that's the problem, not even being able to imagine it)

    I wonder what would be the catalyst (or enzyme) that will bring FE forward ? Will that be the peak oil?

    I've looked recently at the movie The Ides of March. Boy did I get interested when the President Wannabe said he will end America's dependence on fossil fuel (and stop the conquest wars), but then later on we learn that the revolution he had in mind was Hydrogen power... some revolution .

    Hi Ilie:

    Yes, abundance would shatter the zero-sum-game forever:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy.htm#zero

    When I watched my fellow Americans effortlessly swallow the innumerable lies served up for invading Iraq:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/america.htm#wtc

    when absolutely everybody else on Earth older than five and with an I.Q. above fifty knew it was all about the oil, that was another of my moments of awakening. How could people be so stupid? That was at the same time that I was introduced to Bucky:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/roots.htm#fuller

    and many strands of my awareness began to crystalize. I began seeing others admit that the stupidity of Americans was intentional:

    http://www.counterpunch.org/2003/07/...g-the-obvious/

    Even Uncle Noam said that the level of ignorance about how the world really works demonstrated by America’s pundit class and those who consume their drivel was a studied ignorance. And why is that? Because their brain-dead “thinking” kept their bellies full. And almost everybody I ever encountered was addicted to some scarcity-based ideology, because it buttered their bread. It was just another dimension of my lesson that personal integrity is the world’s scarcest commodity:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn

    It was not until after encountering Bucky that my paradigm really crystallized to where it has been ever since.

    Yes, Peak Oil is another classic resource depletion scenario, the biggest one that humanity has ever faced, by far, and yes, FE would make resource depletion something for the history books, like slavery. And, as you know, I am aiming more for the positive aspect of FE, Heaven on Earth, than I am in avoiding the Hell on Earth scenario that looms. One is motivated by love and the other by fear. Can we make a love-based transition, one that may have never been feasible before? That is what I am trying to find out.

    Yes, we are not quite sure what abundance looks like, but we have glimpses:

    and we have some pretty good ideas of what will become obsolete with abundance:

    Hi Robert,

    As Wade mentioned I have had some reality added to my world with no power, water etc and it has happened twice more since this year. My area in N.E. Saskatchewan has a very weak power grid and goes down more than most in the province when there are storms. I'm grateful for the awareness and learning of what it is like without these every day utilities we all take for granted.

    The power was out in a small city one of my brothers lives in for only 21 hours. This brother stayed with me last year for a few months and used to chastise me for all my storage and preparation materials. Well he called yesterday to say what a mess his little city (population 30,000) was in with no power.

    1. Streets where lined up for miles with no traffic lights
    2. Stores with no generators where closed
    3. Most service stations were closed
    4. People were driving to other small towns 50 miles away for gas
    5. One lady had over 600.00 dollars of canned goods in her carts and said she would not be caught without
    groceries again
    6. My brother was offered 20.00 bucks for the last bag of ice he purchased in a corner convenience store
    7. People were arguing in the stores that were open
    8. One small store owner closed his store when two guys got into a fist fight>>>>he kicked everyone out,locked
    the doors and went home
    9. Most everyone was given the day off due to no electricity and found out they couldn't do much with their free
    time as most all was shut down and no amenities to facilitate their own entertainment

    Just a few tidbits to add to your plan of doing nothing for a day...........Prince Albert did just that and from what I hear it was quite an eye opener for many!!

    One good reason to have some stock and more than I need is for those who do not give it a thought until it is too late

    Great info once again Wade and hey who needs to go to school when we have YOU. Your work is like attending University to learn about what we all should have been taught throughout all our educational years.

    Thank You and all those who contribute to this thread. IMHO this is the greatest thread on the Net as it contains the truth and the reality of our world! We can't change what we don't own or take responsibility for so someone has to cut through the chaff to get to the good stuff and your are that SOMEONE
    Love and Light Always/Sandy

    Hi:

    Briefly, before I take the rest of the day off to play husband, as you all know, I read a great deal of material each day. My online and offline reading, combined with my desk job, means that I am usually reading or writing (including crunching numbers, supervising the crunching, and designing and maintaining information systems) for about fourteen hours a day. I read a wide spectrum of information, and one area of specialty for me is economics, or at least what is called economics today. The big problem with economics as practiced today is that it deals poorly with how the world really works. Economists don’t deal with reality very well. Begin reading economics journals, and it is usually a bunch of advanced math. And a great deal of the math relates to economic models that are concerned with how markets function, marginal demand and other economic concepts. Any model is only as relevant to the real world as its data quality, assumptions and the relevance of the phenomenon being measured. As Einstein said, the more beautiful and elegant the math used to support a scientific theory, the more likely the theory is wrong. Economics is a wannabee science, like many of the social sciences. It rarely has falsifiable theories, which is the bedrock of the physical sciences, at least in theory.

    When I write that energy essay, I will have plenty of graphics in it, mostly made by yours truly, probably with Visio. I hope that my electronic crayon drawings will successfully convey the ideas and information.

    Most of what passes for economics today deals with the financial economy, which is money, banking, taxes, and the like. In classical economics, that is the exchange aspect of economics: who gets what. The financial economy is not real; it is allegedly a representation of real economics, and in its ideal, the financial economy only exists to facilitate the real economy’s operation. The real economy always has been and always will be rooted in the energy situation, which is what sustains the human journey; politicians and bankers sure don’t. The basic dynamic of any economy is the performance of human effort, leveraged by tools, to secure energy from various sources, and use that energy to turn materials into finished products (such as an automobile and gasoline), or to provide energy-based services (which would be driving that car to a destination) either consumable by humans, or becoming a means to enhance further production (called real capital). The less human effort needed for production, the wealthier a society is.

    In our world of scarcity, the financial economy has assumed a disproportionate emphasis. Not only do economists overemphasize it, but so do most people. That is because money is the medium of exchange, and the human ego’s primary predilection is, “What is in it for me?” In a world of scarcity, egocentrism is encouraged, which is why all elites for all time have engaged in conspicuous consumption as a mark of their status. About the only exception to that dynamic is what has been happening in the high tech industry, especially in history’s richest and most powerful nation; my home. I can run into the world’s richest man at the movie theater, as he buys popcorn by himself and nobody recognizes him:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lessons.htm#gates

    I have been around other high tech potentates, and that kind of unpretentious demeanor is common among them. The political left has remarked on that situation, where the founders of companies such as Apple and Google wear blue jeans to work. The left thinks that it has to do with the USA’s post-war middle class experience, where American society became its most egalitarian yet, with women, blacks, and other minorities coming to the economic table in unprecedented ways. The Left tends to think like Marx and assume away the energy situation that it all rides on, removing it from their analytical framework. America’s prodigious energy use is what provided the economic foundation that made its middle class possible. The average American’s standard of living has been declining ever since the first oil crisis in 1973, with the standard of living for American workers declining by arguably more than 50%:

    http://blog.ml-implode.com/2012/04/u...-more-than-50/

    I see that situation as due to a combination of energy-per-capita use being stagnant for forty years, and the capital class engaging in warfare against the working class to disproportionately enlarge their share of the shrinking pie, and virtually all economists today work for the capital class in some capacity, so their work nearly invariably serves the interests of their patrons/employers. And in a world of scarcity, everybody plays along, to one degree or another.

    With FE and the abundance that can come with it, the financial economy quickly becomes fairly meaningless. I bring this up because as I read economic data and analysis, with few exceptions, economists miss the boat. Completely. A conspiracist might say that it is intentional by the economists, a smoke and mirrors game that they knowingly play to befuddle their readers/victims, but that shortchanges the impact of indoctrination and enforcement for those who play the game to get fed. I have found that few will openly acknowledge the truth, even when it can become very plain. There are many ways that somebody like a Ralph McGehee is “processed” by the system to become a willing and blind cog in the engine of exploiting the masses:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/lies.htm#mcgehee

    and if he ever figured it out, he would be silenced, so as to not spook the herd. I have a relative who played that game, and I doubt that he ever figured it out as he drank himself to death:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#cia

    Once in a great while, somebody from middle management, who had a real good idea of his/her role, spoke up:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/other.htm#neocolonialist

    but such people are usually lone voices in the wilderness, if they even survive for long, as the machine grinds on.

    I don’t want to pick on economists too much, because they act like other prostitute professions, those that populate the rackets:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/home.htm#economic

    even when it can take some real impressive effort to stay blind to the dynamics.

    The economists today think that they can print money and play all manner of exchange games to get the world economy back to normalcy. They are yanking on the wrong levers. They are playing with the financial economy, trying to manipulate the real economy. None of their gyrations are going to help FE happen, and if FE happens, their entire profession will become obsolete, as the presumptions that gird their ideology - greed and fear - no longer will be the operating principles. There will still be a use for economics if we turn the corner, but it will account for the wellbeing of every living thing, not just the wallets of the rich. It will be a soul-centric economics, not an egocentric or anthropocentric one.

    Best,

    Wade

    Hi Sandy:

    Thanks for the power story. Stores can help with the hiccups, and I pray that is all there will be up ahead, and we will see. Yes, those who have stores will likely end up feeding their unprepared neighbors, if they aren’t robbed of them.

    On the education, I will do my best to not lead anybody astray, and we will see. I am a learning junkie, and in many ways a lucky one. Reading all the paleontology stuff lately is taking me back to grade school, when I read all the paleontology books in my school’s library. It is pretty cool to resume studies that I left aside forty years ago.

    My essay will be energy-centric, for good reason. When reading evolution tales, or about the rise and fall of civilizations, or today’s geopolitical issues, they are all energy stories at their root, but in most scientific tales, energy tends to get pushed into the background, kind of as an assumption. The sun is treated as a constant, which powers all of Earth’s cycles, from the diurnal cycles to the climate and ocean currents and hydrological cycle to the carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and other elemental cycles. I suppose that because the sun is a constant, I can understand how energy often gets treated as a founding assumption and the focus is on the higher layers that are built on it. But that can also tend to lose sight of the basics.

    I see it as similar to how “economics” is obsessed with money, which is an abstract layer which has been laid on top of the real economy. When people mistake symbols for reality, their perceptions of reality can then be manipulated; they can become mesmerized by the symbols, and lose track of reality. That is how all ideological indoctrination works, as far as I have seen, and it is all scarcity-based indoctrination:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#dominant

    People kind of play at being mesmerized by the symbols, because they would not play unless playing fed them. In the end, it is really an egocentric game, which only works in a world of scarcity. In a world of abundance, nobody would want to play, and Godzilla knows this all too well, which is why FE has had the lid put so tightly on it.

    My goal is to help people see the invisible assumptions that we all get indoctrinated into, and then we can consciously choose others. All paradigms shift when the founding assumptions of the previous paradigm are overturned:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#introduction

    Overturning the energy-scarcity assumption and replacing it with an energy-abundant assumption will be the biggest paradigm shift in human history, by far.

    I rarely do this, but I will write a little about Thrive and the related mayhem that the movie has generated. I have avoided mentioning it since it came out, because I had serious reservations about it. But now that many of the interviewees of Thrive have come out against it, I will add my two bits. Adam posted John Robbins’s rebuttal to Thrive:

    http://projectearth.com/founder-essa...ity-and-sanity

    I heard about Adam’s displeasure with Thrive soon after it came out. I have long been a big fan of John’s:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/medicine.htm#_edn246

    There is a Thrive debunking site, but as I read it, the naïveté and sloppiness of the debunker leapt off the page regularly:

    http://thrivedebunked.wordpress.com/tag/adam-trombly/

    It does not debunk nearly what it purports to, as with all the “skeptics” that I have ever encountered:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/dennis.htm#friends

    But, if you want to see how getting to the truth of these matters is like walking the razor’s edge, take a dip.

    My initial reaction to Thrive was, “Way too much Icke, and not enough O’Leary and Trombly.” I regard Thrive as a kindergarten version of the issues.

    As usual, almost nobody can walk the line between denying Godzilla exists and obsessing over him. It is the standard schism between the structuralists and the conspiracists:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/paradigm.htm#conspiracism

    Both are fear-oriented responses.

    Foster purports to have done careful fact checking, but in the free energy section of his site:

    http://www.thrivemovement.com/the_co...rgy_technology

    he promotes an essay that libels Dennis:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#libel

    The facts and logic of the libelous writings are easy to discern. There is really not much to dispute; the writer has knowingly libeled Dennis, a libel that is easy to prove, and he refuses to retract his libel. I have been hit with his essay literally dozens of times, as people have bombarded me with it, as they call it some “excellent” commentary on the FE conundrum. That people keep promoting it, after having a very good idea why it is libelous after they heard from me, is just another example of personal integrity being the world’s scarcest commodity:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#burn

    I contacted Foster on more than one occasion about his promotion of a libelous essay, and the only change that he made to his site was to remove the adjective “excellent” from his description of that essay. Foster is just one more aspirant who does not have the right stuff, which is typical. I have been invited to be involved with a project that Foster is also involved with, and I have declined. There is no effort on Earth that I want to be involved with, other than the choir that I will try to help form. I have to do my own thing and pursue what I think is needed, and not get involved with the half-cocked efforts of the pretenders, and on the FE issue, there are far more pretenders than contenders. I don’t know of any FE effort on Earth today with a prayer, and I really don't want to hear about the latest inventor who “has it!” That is a highly naïve perspective.

    One of the big problems in this milieu is that when you begin sticking your nose into FE, and do stuff like demonstrate an FE device in Manhattan like Adam did, or mail off working FE prototypes to the big energy institutions like Sparky did:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#sweet

    or start running ads for “free electricity!” like we did, and begin to build prototypes to do just that:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/advent.htm#mr

    you then begin to find out how the world really works, and it is not territory for the faint of heart. And when Godzilla and his minions get involved, very few people can withstand that pressure before they unravel before your eyes. I have seen them unravel in a few days. The greed and delusions of grandeur (http://www.ahealedplanet.net/conun.htm#grandeur) and other pitfalls on the upside, and the attacks from the defenders of the rackets, with Godzilla only being the apex predator of that food chain, on the downside, have made it to where no effort has ever come close to success.

    Adam has been through the meat grinder, and it shows, as have Dennis and Greer, and Brian had his own troubles that shortened his life:

    http://www.ahealedplanet.net/brianmem.htm#attack

    But that comes with the territory that they have walked over. Very few survive that battlefield for long. Naïve debunkers will never understand, with their establishment-worship, and the conspiracists also miss the boat, thinking like a victim.

    It is time to think and act like creators.

    Best,

    Wade
