WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Hi Wade. This issue of dual use of biological innovations is fascinating. How might it relate to FE?

A: Hey, some might ask if you are a ringer that I invited in, and that is right down my alley. Yes, indeed, the often-times dual nature of biological innovation can be seen as reflected in the Epochal nature of humanity's energy events. Any new biological feature appeared as a result of need and opportunity, such as eyes. If not for the confluence of circumstances and the appearance of an organism that did not have to modify itself all that much to adapt to it, those changes would not have happened. And only later was another use for that new biological feature "discovered." The history of life on Earth is full of those situations. The growth in the mammalian and primate brains, combined with "loser" chimps that migrated from the rainforest out of necessity and opportunity, eventually led to humanity, as one innovation after another ended up seeing new use. The human brain is seen that way, in that it likely grew large to assist with social navigation and was later used for advanced tool-making, which was always about maximizing the energy surplus.

Each time that humanity tapped a new energy source, the events leading up to it can be discerned, from walking upright freeing hands for better dexterity and tool-making to the extinction of all the easy meat to the dearth of charcoal for iron smelting in a deforested and an industrializing England. For each event, the inventor(s) arrived at a historical moment of necessity and opportunity, and made the energy breakthrough to satisfy some immediate need. Only later, and sometimes much later, were the multiple further uses of that new energy source discovered and explored. The pioneers literally had no idea what their innovation would lead to. So, the future use of a new biological feature is a very close cousin to how new energy technologies became used far beyond the inventor's intent.

I have written plenty about sentience and how far along on the sentience curve that humanity might be, and I suppose that it is in keeping with humanity's rising sentience that for the energy breakthrough that humanity is on the cusp of, some of us are imagining the applications and implications of the new technology, and taking it much further than anybody ever did before any other Epochal Event. Maybe humanity will finally become a truly sentient species if FE makes its public appearance.

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Hi Wade. Could we discuss Darwin's descent with modification theory and convergent evolution?

A: That is a huge, important subject, and has also been applied to human phenomena such as languages, civilizations, and religions. Descent with modification is the core of Darwin's theory, and 150 years after he proposed it, biology's Tree of Life still has the basic structure that Darwin envisioned, and all life on Earth today is considered to have descended from one organism billions of years ago. More than 150 years of fossil hunters spending their lives on their hands and knees, molecular biological investigations, and new tools and techniques coming into use and becoming ever more sophisticated, and nobody has discovered even one convincing exception to the idea of descent with modification. Scientists have also applied the descent with modification idea to behavioral traits, both human and non-human. Many human traits are inheritances from our primate line, and some traits go back a billion years, such as sexual reproduction.

Many key features of life on Earth are currently considered to have happened once, with one organism, and everything with that feature is considered to be descended from that organism, such as the first microbe to split water for photosynthesis, the animal with the first eye, and other key features of life on Earth.

Convergent evolution is when two different lineages develop similar biological features, usually to solve similar biological problems (primarily survival and reproduction). Ankylosaurs and glyptodonts are a startling case of convergent evolution. The concept of ecological guilds often shows how convergent evolution works. In the era of molecular biology and DNA testing, many features in seemingly divergent animals were rethought as convergent evolution rather than inheritance, and vice versa.

For human biological features, behaviors, and even institutions, the ideas of inheritance and convergent evolution have been applied, and there is obviously great controversy, especially as we are talking about ourselves. Before the rise of DNA testing, the idea of human universals was proposed, which implies that the human population ancestral to today's humanity had those traits. I have seen the idea of human inherited universals dismissed as a crazy idea, but when DNA testing started being used on humans, it became evident that all of humanity today is descended from a population of only a few thousand individuals, and only a few hundred left Africa around 60,000 years ago, and virtually all humans living outside sub-Saharan Africa are descended from that founder group of a few hundred, and the idea of universal human traits descended from the humanity of 60,000 years ago became far more likely. Which are convergent and which are inherited, and which are truly universal, is the source of plenty of controversy.

That DNA testing also identified the peoples who have been the most isolated since that momentous event 60,000 years ago, and they all had similar religions, with singing and dancing rituals that lasted all night long, which formed the social cohesion needed to prevail in violent conflict with their neighbors. Also, those isolated peoples in sub-Saharan Africa also had language similarities, such as click consonants, which likely means that humanity's language of 60,000 years ago sounded like that. Linguists have constructed language "trees" which show that they descended into what we see today, and a similar process has been done for religions. When FE makes its appearance and geographical isolation ends, I expect that there will be one "race," one language, one government, probably even one "religion" (which will look nothing like anything today), one technological and energetic base, and so on. But there will nothing coercive about any of it, because abundance will reign.

When civilization began to appear about 50,000 years after that founder group's exit from Africa, in probably four places independently, a professional priesthood arose that stamped out the ancient rituals and began to base religion on belief indoctrination that always elevated the new elite to divine status. That appears to be a case of convergent evolution, as those first civilizations had no contact with each other. Those early civilizations had other traits in common, which reflected universal human traits that encountered similar circumstances and crafted similar "solutions" (male dominated, monumental architecture, harems, armies, etc.).

Currently, there is great controversy over when humans first controlled fire. The dates are being rolled back, and I will not be surprised if the date gets rolled back to two million years, and I believe it quite likely that that momentous event happened just once, and all human species (and maybe even australopiths) learned it from that one Epochal event.

Those ideas of inheritance or independent invention can be applied to innumerable aspects of humanity's social, ideological, and technical traits. It is a fascinating area of study.

On the FE front, there have been many "convergent" FE efforts, which independently tapped the zero-point field, and the suppression and sequestering of disruptive energy technology is to a degree also convergent, as capitalistic racketeers everywhere react in similar fashion to threats to revenues and profits, although there is certainly a global level of the game that is far more sophisticated and subtle than those lower levels.

Anyway, it is all quite an area of study, and is one more way that biological studies have been applied to human behavior.

Hi:

Taking a little choir break.

I do not know how many have followed what is happening, but as the USA got into shale oil and gas fracking, it has doubled its gross "oil" output in the past several years. Calling it "oil" is a misnomer, as that stuff is not conventional oil, but the low-EROI dregs of America's hydrocarbons, like Canada's tar sands. In the USA, there has been a "boom" in shale oil and natural gas fracking, and all of the "alternative" energy investment in the USA has gone into those operations for the past several years. It looks like there might be a repeat of the subprime scandal of 2008 which triggered a collapse of the global financial system.

I have been telling pals for years that it is going to be a very short-lived "boom." It looks like the boom is ending, and quickly, as oil sells for under $70 per barrel today, and most of those operations were only profitable if oil stayed above $100 per barrel. It looks like there is a price war happening with a temporary glut, brought on by a global recession that has begun. The world's central banks (the USA's Federal Reserve, the European, Japanese, and Chinese central banks), have printed money like crazy to try to paper over the deep structural problems, and it will end how all money-printing frenzies have ended.

This guy is a Peak Oiler but is very astute, and just wrote a nice three-part series on what this oil swoon may mean (1, 2, 3). Big trouble, dead ahead.

I am not an insider, but I doubt that these issues are much concern for Godzilla. He plays at a higher level, and as long as "alternative energy" investment is in shale oil, fracking, and tar sands, he has the game well in hand.

So, today was an energy day for me, aside from FE, and I did a little snooping into areas where I have not snooped for a while, and saw this article on the low-grade nuclear waste dump in New Mexico. I spoke at DOE hearings for it, as we proposed a neutralization solution and were nicely told by the DOE how the land laid. So, that "bury it in the ground and hope it does not come back up" solution is having problems, and that is for the low-grade stuff. A little closer to home, plutonium has been leaking into the Columbia River for decades, as Hanford became a national sacrifice zone for the USA's nuclear weapons program. People in the vicinity are now having epic birth defects. This is not Iraq or Yugoslavia that we bombed with our nuclear waste, but in The Land of the Free. Naturally, the birth defects are being covered up. To the West of me, the entire West Coast is becoming radioactive, thanks to Fukushima. As I wrote about in my big essay, tar sands pipelines are being built, and a tanker a day plans to leave Vancouver for the markets, which is going to raise the risk of catastrophic spills in Puget Sound, which is Earth's second most diverse marine ecosystem.

So, I am surrounded, both physically and economically, by the energy issue. How about FE? Problem solved. All of them (well, the radioactive ocean will take a little more work to clean up).

What a time to be alive…

Wade,

Thanx for listening to my rants.

When you speak of dual use biological innovation could not psychopathy be a form of dual use innovations by humans?

Let me see if I got a few things straight like its about energy one has to find it and use it and protect oneself from predators(psychopaths) to survive long enough to procreate. Is that about right?

You forget that I am semi retarded

Well what about the modern psychopath on planet earth is this not a dual use issue of biology like the larger brains and the upright walking to free the hands or a way of viewing the environment as a predator does and so when their brains are measured doctors can measure a different brain than of a normal human.

So humans have moved from being prey to being predatory.....to find energy to survive long enough not being prey to procreate.....

You talk about ape and chimp societies and the violence from the chimps with organized predation and social reward and punishment. And so war or the stealing of an others things to want to survive reminds me of the preppers here on Avalon.

Is not prepping the ultimate form of what our Wade calls the addiction to scarcity?

I mean threads devoted to moving out of harms way to avoid the catastrophe and many charge money for such consultations.....to an elite that dig huge holes in the ground to hide in with all of their plunder.....

I know that I am a little off....but boy....that about takes the cake....they are more "off" than I am....

I must admit to having the "condition" as it relates to having a supply when old to survive....me thinks that this is "wired" in....

We are dealing with some primal things here....and then some folks hear voices telling one to go another way.....

Mystics hear voices and science checks facts and I think that you are more of a mystic than a scientist wade....

I am getting the facts from your essays since I have been an evangelical christian and for many years such facts have been greatly suppressed.

And so my great surprise with your dear friend Dennis on his choice of a spiritual path....Evangelical Christianity....

Let me put this in a crude loading dock type of manor....where I used to work...

When you believe the BS and you find that its all BS and I mean everything you have been told then you have a crisis....

its all BS....everything...

and so that is very liberating and so I must go within myself to view anything that I am told now is at all possibly true.

Where does that inner voice come from?

Heck if I know...

Nine

[Nine]

Wade ...

just wanted to take one moment of your time to talk about Noam Chomsky...

many in the alt community call him a great traitor but I see him so very differently...he is a suvivior and I just so respect that man Wade....

Some call him Jew...

could I convert? to see what he sees?

I read somewhere that Noam was a linguist or a student of language or communication....

Noam's sin was that he felt that "retail" politics would fix the problem....

Noam is a man and he did good....very good...

and so if conscientiousness equals energy then Noam put a lot into the system IMO.....

[Wade Frazier]

Hi Nine:

Yes, psychopathy could be seen as the prey-turned-into-predator dynamic, but we have done it as a species. It is obvious that our tools not only made life on Earth easier, at least during those brief golden ages of relative energy abundance (the USA is a classic instance, and those preppers are not that delusional, as a storm is coming if we do not wake up, and soon), but those tools were used on each other fairly early on. All human groups are psychopathic in the way that they treat those in the out-group, such as what the USA has been doing to the peoples of Hydrocarbon Country. I can hardly find an American who knows or cares. Psychopaths just do it to their "in-group," but they do not see those people as their "in-group." Their in-group only consists of themselves.

Uncle Noam has been awesome at pointing out the psychopathic activities of "intellectuals," whether they are journalists, historians, and so on, as they defend their in-groups in the most irrational and unethical manner, as they justify evil treatment of the out-group. As Jesus said, there is no out-group, and when humanity finally embraces that idea, we will become a truly sentient species. But doing that in a world of scarcity and fear is no easy trick, and almost nobody even tries. But FE and abundance can break that cycle, IMO. A tiny fraction of humanity can make that happen, which is what I am trying to help get together.

So, yes, calling out Noam as a "traitor," because he does not embrace the conspiracist mindset, is typical behavior. Structuralism has its blind spots, like conspiracism does. Everybody can learn something from Uncle Noam.

My path has been 0.01% hearing voices and 99.99% checking facts and having the experiences that the voice led me to. It is what that voice led me to that gave it credibility with me, at least as far as its prescience, although I do not want to hear from it anymore.

I have been told that am an artisan soul, and I'll buy that, so I am into creating, and I'll not deny the creative effort behind creating a vision like this one. I have done what I could to stick to the facts but also see a big picture that takes creative effort to see. All scientific theories are like that.

Best,

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: So, Wade, can you give a little more of the details of how you see your effort going?

A: My goal is to manifest a world of abundance in which humanity and Earth is healed. In getting there, I believe that the principles needed to get there are more important than any "battle plan," as all battle plans look good on paper until the first shot is fired. I have been through several campaigns, however, and know where many of the mines are, when to duck my head, and when to charge forward. Hardly anybody has ever been on that battlefield for long, so I know that I am bringing something to the party that is extremely rare, and I think that my experience will be useful. If I did not have that experience on the battlefield, I likely would have never had much worth saying.

Briefly, the principles are the basic Boy and Girl Scout blueprint:

• Being other-serving;
• Truth and honesty;
• Hard work.

That seems pretty simple, right?

I discovered the hard way that personal integrity is the world's scarcest commodity, so the people who actually live by those principles are few and far between, on the order of less than one-in-a-thousand in today's world. That is why the social circle approach does not work, because if you are one of those whom I seek, it is virtually guaranteed that you will not know anybody in your daily life like you. Those are just the numbers. But with the Internet's reach of billions of people, and a sizeable fraction can read and write in English, I like my chances of finding enough people and training them for my approach to work.

I only know one person on Earth who meets these qualifications, and I am not looking for any more of them. If I could find ten like Dennis, the hero's journey to FE might work, but I doubt that there are ten to find. Likewise, if there were a hundred like Mr. Professor and Brian O'Leary to find, that could also work, but I doubt that a hundred exist. So, I am going with Plan C, which is finding enough people who can "merely" let go of their scarcity-based conditioning for long enough so that they can simply imagine abundance and learn to sing the song. I am going to need several thousand of them.

Anybody who studies this essay and really understands my message is going to be a candidate for the choir. I doubt that people need to be scientists to understand that essay's gist, and it was written for non-scientists.

I have designed my effort to avoid some of the many pitfalls that attend the FE journey and the limitations that I have seen in Internet discourse. I specifically designed what I am doing so that I do not need money to do it. Oh, I sacrificed my life and millions of dollars of income to do it, but nobody in the choir will have to make sacrifices like that. The hard work has already been done, although what I will ask of my readers is anything but easy.

By designing my effort so that there does not need to be any money changing hands to build the choir, I have avoided one of the greatest pitfalls of FE efforts. Not only is accepting money the easiest way for the authorities to attack the effort, as I learned during my days with Dennis (even if you put the world's best heating system on people's homes for free), but when money begins changing hands for anything related to FE, greed rears its head, delusions of grandeur beckon, and men in particular try to play the hero, the Messiah even. Psychopaths swarm to efforts like that, both free-lancers and those on Godzilla's payroll (1, 2, 3), and I encountered plenty of both. As with Mr. Skeptic, is it hard to tell the free-lancers from Godzilla's employees, but it does not really matter, as they all act the same.

If that choir gets amassed and sings that song in chorus, it will attract people who have pined for that song for their entire lives. Then money will change hands, but going one way: directly into a technical effort to make a production-ready FE device, and then it will be given away to humanity. That will be a hard nut to crack for Godzilla and the other predators who play at the local, state, national, and global levels.

Does that approach have a prayer? If I found those several thousand people, it would be easy. The hard part will be finding them, but I am using a new tool with a global reach, and like my chances. I am devoting my "spare" time for the next 30 years or so to finding and training them. I understand and sympathize with the sense of urgency that exists today. Humanity may well destroy itself while taking most complex ecosystems with it, which mystical sources that I respect say commonly happens with ensouled species that can manipulate their environments. I believe that those I will reach will have incarnated at this time particularly to help humanity turn the corner. But those who want to rush out to "do something," or try to get their social circles to embrace my work, are going to be the weak links in my effort, and I will do what I can to keep them out of it.

I hope that that is enough detail. Much more detail would be an exercise in foolishness, as there is no telling what all the bumps in the road will be. Virtually everybody new to the FE idea reacts with fear and denial, and they are not my target audience. Some want guarantees that it will turn out well before they will get out of their easy chairs. Those kinds of people never accomplish anything worthwhile, and they will begin to awaken when FE is delivered into their lives, and not before, and that is OK. It will only take 0.001% of humanity to put humanity over the top into a world of abundance. It was like that for all Epochal Events, and I do not see why it should be different this time.

We will see how it goes.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Quickly, before I spend most of my day doing chores and other tasks, I just read this article on appraisal fraud in American real estate. I have seen that movie before, more than once. As I wrote this past spring, the Fed and its enablers have created the exact same bubbles that have burst over the past 15 years. It is surreal. And as I wrote yesterday, we also have a shale oil bubble that was created with the same easy money policies.

You really have to wonder if that definition of insanity applies in this situation, but I think that it is more like what that article I linked to yesterday mentioned, in that it was not crazy or stupid, but planned out and "smart" in that the system has been carefully constructed to steal from the chumps on behalf of those creating the situation, who will be long gone when the roof caves in and the chumps are left holding the bag. It is basically a Ponzi Scheme.

And like most such situations, the "conspiratorial" behavior is only engaged in by a relative few at the top who know what they are doing, while the vast majority play along, as they see short-term gain or trust the system in their greed, naïveté, or stupidity. As with the rest of these engineered bubbles, it will turn out badly for the chumps, while the architects clean up once again. Of course, in the big picture nobody "beats the house," as we all answer for our deeds, to ourselves. But isn’t there a more satisfying game to play? That is what my work is all about.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Attached are from today's hike. All three are on the same mountain, in different aspects. The snowy one had a northern aspect near the bottom, the green one almost looks like summer, on a southern aspect near the top, and the one that looks like New England winter woods (and felt like it, too, which reminded me of living with Dennis and his family in Boston), was taken from on top of the mountain. What a blessing to be able to hike in woods like that, less than 20 minutes from my home.

For this sock-puppet choir Q&A that I have been doing lately, I could do it for hundreds of different subjects in that big essay. When I get that choir going, there will be no lack of topics to discuss. Here is another.

Q: Wade, you write about the approaches to FE that have not worked. In your opinion, what have been the primary reasons that they have not worked?

A: In short, a lack of integrity and organized suppression. If there was enough integrity in the general population and among those mounting FE efforts, they would have succeeded long ago, no matter what Godzilla tried to do.

However, the lack of integrity among the general public is why such efforts have never had much public support (the public is unaware and indifferent, unless they can somehow immediately profit from it), and those involved in FE efforts virtually never had the right stuff to really go very far, which extends to the inventors and their allies and supporters. Greed and delusions of grandeur are two prominent foibles that doom FE efforts, and are not confined to the inventors, but to their allies and social circles, including their families. Because of those internal weaknesses, they are highly susceptible to organized suppression, and it can come from the local, state, national, and international levels, even leaving aside Godzilla. He is merely the apex predator in that milieu.

If making FE happen was anything close to a normal undertaking, like making a new computer chip, it would be a no-brainer for corporate America. Thousands of companies could readily develop FE for public use. But technology suppression is pretty old (there were even rumors of it in the Roman Empire), and preventing disruptive technology from upsetting markets has become a science. There are thousands of instances of technology suppression, but it is usually done quietly, and when it comes to disruptive energy technology, the pockets can be pretty deep for shelving it. But that is one of the "benign" tactics for quietly removing the threat. Godzilla has a deep and sophisticated bag of tricks, and I have been part of efforts that were subjected to most of them, if not all of them.

If you review that list of approaches that have I am aware of that have not worked, they are all ways to either try to make money, seek rich and powerful allies, sneak past the organized suppression, and other approaches that do not reach high enough on the integrity scale to overcome the organized suppression. They simply do not aim high enough, maybe because they can't. Godzilla has not died in his sleep, as far as I know, but it is very possible that sanity might prevail at that global level, but I am not going to count on it. My approach might "only" help create a fertile environment so that an attempt can succeed, or it might become an effort in of itself.

Wade

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, you show how geophysical and geochemical events interacted with biological ones, and I was wondering how influential the ice ages were on life, and vice versa.

A: The impacts of ice ages on life on Earth, and life's impact on ice ages, is a great subject that is still controversial. For instance, it is thought that the production of oxygen via oxygenic photosynthesis oxidized atmospheric methane, as well as photosynthesis removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Those combined events may well have led to the first ice age more than two billion years ago.

The second ice age was really a series of them, and it is thought that they had something to do with the rise of complex life, even though they also nearly wiped out all life on Earth, as it was likely a "Snowball Earth" episode, when virtually Earth's entire surface was covered in ice.

The third one caused the first of the Big Five mass extinctions of complex life, but it was all oceanic, as life had not yet colonized land.

The fourth one was highly relevant to today's world. Ice age climates evaporate less water from the oceans (cooler waters will have less evaporation), so the global climate is dryer. Before that ice age, plants reproduced with spores (which requires water so that the sperm can swim to the egg), and land vertebrates laid their eggs in water (amphibians). As the ice age commenced, the rainforests gradually shrank and plants developed reproduction via seeds, which did not need standing water to be fertilized. Vertebrates developed amniotic eggs, which did not need to be laid in water. Seed plants and amniotic eggs allowed plants and vertebrates to colonize all the land masses, not just the wettest parts. The rise of reptiles and conifer forests resulted.

The current ice age is only a couple million years old, but the cooling trend began nearly 50 million years ago. That trend killed off most of Earth's warm-adapted species, in the greatest extinction event since the demise of dinosaurs, and cold-adapted ones then dominated. The events that directly preceded today's ice age (we are in a brief interglacial interval, and humanity may have already delayed the onset of the next glacial cycle by 50,000 years by venting greenhouse gases to the atmosphere) had dramatic impacts on the African rainforest, which ejected some "loser" chimps to the woodland fringes, which set in motion a series of events that led to humanity. The first stone tools were invented just as this ice age began, and this ice age has had dramatic impacts on human-line developments, including our evolution.

So, you can see dramatic impacts by the ice ages on the development of life on Earth, and life has had dramatic impacts on the appearance and disappearance of the ice ages. As humanity has been toying with Earth's climate, many changes threaten to precipitate a mass extinction that will make it the Big Six, which could well take humanity with it. The last time that Earth went from icehouse to greenhouse conditions, Earth had its greatest mass extinction event. Humanity is in danger of artificially inducing a Greenhouse Earth, which has scientists shuddering. We are in a kind of "race of the catastrophes" scenario, as World War III may break out over controlling the world's quickly dwindling oil deposits, or we will have an environmental meltdown, or some grim combination of catastrophes.

So, ice ages and climate change are areas of intensive study today, as they should be. The so-called Global Warming debate is almost entirely bogus and brought into being by the Hydrocarbon Lobby and the "scientists" it owns, a servile media, and a public that avoids responsibility for its actions.

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, what has been the significance of mass extinctions?

A: They have been highly significant, in both "positive" and "negative" ways, depending on one's perspective. More than 99.9% of all species that ever lived on Earth are extinct. But 95% of them went out with a whimper, not a bang, in a gradual extinction event, similar to what Darwin proposed, as the last member a species died, unnoticed. Unfortunately, Darwin's idea became a dogma, and there was a taboo against studying mass extinctions until the 1970s and 1980s, when the bolide hypothesis for the extinction of dinosaurs was posited.

Even though only 5% of extinctions were caused in mass extinction events, those events had dramatic impact on the journey of life on Earth, especially the biggest ones. The second big one halted the invasion of land by vertebrates, more than once. That changed the kind of vertebrates that eventually dominated land. The third one was the greatest mass extinction in Earth's history and marked the end of an era, as life was so dramatically different after the event. It not only led to the rise of dinosaurs, but the line that led to mammals was displaced from dominance. Also, animals began growing larger brains before that extinction event, which delayed the appearance of "smart" animals by tens of millions of years, maybe even hundreds of millions.

The fourth extinction event removed dinosaurs from the scene and set the stage for the rise of mammals. That extinction was so dramatic, and what dominated afterward was so different, that that event also marked the end of an era.

So, the impacts of those mass extinction events probably cannot be overstated. Without those events, humans would not have appeared on the evolutionary scene. Our souls might have inhabited some other kind of smart animal, if they would have evolved at all, if Earth is where we came to play the ensouled species game.

Ever since the founder group left Africa, humanity has been causing a mass extinction that may rival the Big Five and even take its place among them, making it the Big Six. Already, humanity has dramatically impacted Earth's ecosystems. Many scientists are already calling it the sixth, but it is just getting started. That would be quite a legacy for humanity, to drive most of Earth's species to extinction and maybe take ourselves with it. Of course, my life has been devoted to preventing it from becoming any worse, and something like heaven on Earth could appear if humanity became a truly sentient species. We have the biological equipment to become sentient, but we do not use it very often or very well.

It really is up to us. Our destiny and the destiny of Earth's ecosystems are in our hands.

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, can you discuss the evolutionary diversity in humanity?

A: Sure. It can be a very emotionally charged subject, because of how racism, sexism, and other differences in humanity have been used to justify the most evil crimes.

Take race. I live in history's most racist nation. I was raised in a racist household and a close family member joined the KKK. There are many aspects of my upbringing (1, 2) that cause me to shake my head, as I look back.

Somewhat paradoxically, the USA has become a huge melting pot of races, nationalities, and ethnicities. I live only a block from Microsoft's headquarters, and my street is a little World's Fair, filled with families from all over the world. There certainly is no racial or ethnic requirement to be a nerd.

Races are only evolution at work, as isolated human populations adapted to their environments, and it is more than skin deep, although as all of humanity outside of sub-Saharan Africa is descended from a few hundred people 60,000 years ago, the differences are pretty minor, from a biological standpoint. Light skin, hair, and eyes are all recent evolutionary developments and related and an adaptation to climates farther from the equator that received less sunshine than in Africa, where humanity evolved. Neanderthals lived in northern climates for hundreds of thousands of years, and they seem to have had those lighter pigment adaptations. The epicanthic fold is now thought to be a climatic adaptation.

Humans have also had genetic adaptations to innovations that they initiated. In a number of pastoral societies, humans have developed a tolerance to lactose so that they could drink the milk of their domestic animals. Sickle-cell anemia is due to an adaption to survive malaria, and is confined to populations that had long-exposure to malaria, and humans spread malaria by creating fields and swamps due to their farming and forestry practices.

There are also behavioral and cognitive evolutionary effects, and this may be the most controversial area of all. It has been suggested that the reason why Ashkenazy Jews have the world's highest IQs for an ethic group is that they were genetically isolated in Eastern Europe and restricted to being business managers and accountants, which required advanced cognitive ability. It can also extend to behavior. The people of Mesoamerica and the Andes began their Domestication Revolutions about ten thousand years ago, while sub-Saharan Africa domestication only began with the Bantu Expansion about three thousand years ago. With domestication, humans also domesticated themselves, and bellicosity has been getting bred out of humanity, as it has become proportionally less violent. Europeans noted that Indians made more docile slaves than those hapless sub-Saharan Africans brought over to the Western Hemisphere, and the longer period of domestication may have something to do with it, but the political climate many never be amenable to exploring it.

Different breeds of domestic animals have different dispositions and levels of intelligence, and there is no reason why it would be different with humans. If FE makes its appearance, race will disappear with the end of geographic isolation, but there are differences among people today that are a result of evolutionary adaptation.

The genders also reflect evolutionary developments. Human dimorphism is a simian trait that developed from male competition for mates, and echoes of that competition can still be seen in today's humanity. The hunter-gatherer phase of humanity is its longest, and surely is responsible for many human traits, such as men having physical prowess especially useful for the large muscle groups that were needed to hunt, handle livestock, and other activities that needed physical strength. Women gathered, wove baskets, and performed other "domestic" tasks that saw them develop superior small muscle control, particularly those involved with dexterity. That is not to say that men cannot type, and some of them throw like girls, but men are going to be inherently better throwers and women will be inherently better typists. Again, the political environment has largely forbidden those realizations and even hampered investigation of those traits that have been baked into our biologies, but evolution does not care. Men and women approach sex and procreation from almost opposite ends of the spectrum, as the outcomes for each gender are so starkly different.

In Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate, he explored in particular the "Blank Slate" and "Peaceful Savage" memes that had political life in the 20th century. Both were reactions to humanity's excesses. The Peaceful Savage meme was heavily promoted, and even became a dogma in anthropology after the traumas of the World Wars, and was not overturned until the late 20th century. Those "savages" were proportionally far more savage than domesticated humans. The Blank Slate meme stated that there were no inherent differences in any humans, either in race or gender, and it is still in vogue today, as women go to prison for "raping" teenage boys, such is the absurdity that we have reached with Blank Slate thinking.

So, evolution has created significant diversity in humans, to ethnic groups, races, and genders. In a world of scarcity, those differences have been used to abuse each other, but in a world of abundance, I doubt that they will be used that way. Gender differences will still exist, although they will continue to change as physical strength continues to become obsolete in a world of machines, but I expect that race, nationality, and ethnicity will vanish, probably within a couple of centuries for race, and nationality and ethnicity much sooner, and nobody will be sorry to see them go.

Humans will impact evolution in new and unusual ways, and genetic engineering is probably here to stay, and again, motivation is everything. Genetic engineering could be a nightmare or a miracle.

As greed and a lust for power will become obsolete in a world of abundance, I suspect that psychopathy will also be bred out of humanity, and souls on the dark path are not going to want to incarnate in a world where love, happiness, and abundance reign.

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, you paint a grim picture of those approaches to manifesting FE, other than the one that you advocate. Are you sure that those others will not work, and why do you think that yours will?

A: I have not said that other approaches are guaranteed to not work, but I have never seen any of them come close to working, and am trying to do something different. But I can say this about them: if you want to pursue them, then you should consider your life forfeit before you even begin. Nobody with any business on that playing field should think that they are not risking their lives. Anything else is deluded. I may well be risking my life with my approach, but it will likely only be me, if I can keep the people without the right stuff out of it, and the greatest threats will be gung-ho men trying to be heroes and the naïve, gullible, and non-discerning, who will be lambs to the slaughter when the psychopaths arrive (1, 2, 3, 4), and they will arrive if my effort gathers any momentum.

Anybody who has played at the high levels has received at least one murder attempt, and some have received many. Dennis should have been dead at least 20 times by now in his journey. He has survived several assassination attempts performed by organized crime, but probably the most galling was when he was kangarooed into prison for not filing a form and the prison officials repeatedly put him in position to be murdered. The first time, they "lost" his security information so that they could classify him into the most dangerous part of the prison, and simultaneously reclassified a multiple murderer out of his cage to be Dennis's bunkmate. When Dennis became the man's best friend, the authorities then staged an unprecedented raid and Dennis became identified as the "snitch." After his life was threatened by the inmates, Dennis tried to escape his cellblock, and the officials put him right back into that situation. It could not have been more obvious that they were trying to get him killed, and he got "lucky" and only had some fingers broken and teeth knocked out. So, officialdom is more "subtle" than the mob, but Dennis found that the mob has more integrity than officialdom does. He earned the mob's respect by how he survived one of their hit attempts, and they left him alone after that (at least for that mob in New Jersey ). Officialdom has not been so kind.

But all of that was less arduous than being constantly betrayed by his "allies." When I saw Dennis last year, he finally admitted to me what was obvious to me: his "allies" hurt him more than the organized suppression did. Brian O'Leary had similar experiences, as has everybody else that I have heard of who played at the high levels. The level of personal integrity in the general population is not high enough to navigate the perils and temptations of the FE path.

If you think that you will make FE happen via those paths of failure that I have identified, your greatest enemy will be your ego. I have seen FE aspirants try to play the hero and eventually believed that they were the Messiah, among other delusions of grandeur. I have seen greed overcome innumerable FE aspirants, as the magnitude of FE began to dawn on them. Those are all early hurdles that defeated FE aspirants almost before they even began.

If you make it past your own ego, then the next greatest threat, if you are foolish enough to invite it in, will be those in your social circles, including your friends, family, and colleagues. There is no social circle on Earth with the right stuff to even begin to pursue FE, and I learned that one the hard way myself, as I got my friends and family involved, to have friendships wrecked, to be attacked by my parents, and the rest of that sorry tale. If you would have told me any of what was ahead of me, I would not have believed you, so I am sympathetic to the denial that I invariably receive from newbies, as they immediately rush out to tell their social circles the "good news," but they are like those 18-year-old boys who have never tasted the battlefield and are dying, literally, to prove their manhood. When I have related my experiences at the hands of my family and social circle, my relatively few fellow travelers have told me to join the club.

And that is all before you even encounter organized suppression. During my days with Dennis, we experienced organized suppression from the local, state, national, international, and Godzilla levels. A great misconception by FE newbies, and I think it is related to their other egocentric delusions, is that all organized suppression originates from Godzilla's level of the game. That is not true. Capitalism has had a "convergent evolution" of sorts, in that all capitalists know the game: wipe out the competition in order to enjoy monopoly-generated profits at the public's expense. Adam Smith remarked on it when observing how the mercantilist system operated, and capitalists took it to new levels. There has never been a free market in world history. And in the energy industry, robber barons began the organized suppression activities that we see in the FE field today. Over the past century, they have refined the organized suppression of disruptive energy technology to a science, but the robber barons are no longer at the top of the global food chain, if they ever were.

I go into those pitfalls and dead ends in a fair amount of detail in my writings, so I do not need to belabor them here, but I will just give an example from the first point that I list: trying to get a patent for FE technology. If you think about it, FE inventors applying for patents are asking their governments to grant them monopoly rights for the most lucrative technology in world history. How realistic do you think such a request is? In my experience, that is about the most naïve approach that there is to FE, but it has ensnared thousands of inventors. The USA has been a plutocracy from the beginning, and today's sitting president is little more than an errand boy.

The experience of FE inventors applying for patents goes like this…

The official position by the patent office is that they will never grant a patent to an FE device, as it defies the "laws of physics." I have watched FE inventors beat their heads against that wall for many years, draining their meager funds as they play the game, lawyering up, getting testing performed, etc. Not many can play that game for long, and the patent office has often granted patents for such devices, to only immediately classify them due to "national security" laws, which essentially seizes them from their inventors. The inventors are then subject to going to prison for pursuing their own inventions, and a veil of silence descends on the entire situation. This has happened thousands of times. And while the laws say that inventors are supposed to be compensated for that outright theft by the USA's government, for instance, they are virtually never compensated, and certainly not at the level of market potential.

And, of course, the inventor who applies for a patent has announced his intention to get rich and famous from his invention, and people with that motivation are almost effortlessly defeated by organized suppression. The same goes for inventors who decide to not seek patenting and make their technologies proprietary, keeping their workings in the realm of "secret sauce." Outright crooks play that game, too, and it is another path of disaster.

The "lucky" inventor is bought out, if the initial, subtle tactics of suppression do not work. It begins with the friendly buyout offer, and as nearly all inventors are in it for the money, that tactic usually works, and the inventor is never the wiser, just thinking that he "won" the capitalist game. Only when the game has progressed to the higher levels does the overt stick come into play, and it can culminate with the "final offer": take the money, or you and your family will not survive the night. When they make that offer, they add a couple of zeroes to the carrot, and they have delivered on the death front many times. When the mob murders you, everybody knows it was the mob. The mob even likes it that way, as it sends a message to all others who need to hear the lesson: defy us at your peril. When Godzilla or some of the other predators kill you, it is bad for business for the murders to be seen as what they are, so they are made to look like something else, such as a "heart attack," cancer, random crime, suicide, "accident," and so on. That is also why some FE aspirants such as Dennis and Adam T. have survived multiple murder attempts: for any one attempt, it is more important for it to look like something else than it is to be successful. They can just regroup and try again, if their "failed" attempt did not permanently incapacitate the target. Brian's life was shortened by such an attack, as he snooped into the UFO issue.

Today, I am in the kind of bizarre position of having people be all eager to chat up their social circles and get some kind of mass movement going (which is deadly naïve in of itself, as I have pointed out), but they are not brave enough to be real people on the Internet, or willing to put in the work needed to develop a comprehensive perspective. Pretty strange, when you get down to it. I know that I am looking for needles in haystacks, but I have budgeted the rest of my lifetime's "spare" time to finding and training them.

When you go out in the world and try to make a dent on the FE front, it is sobering, to put it mildly. After several years of playing the Paul Revere of FE, Brian openly wondered if humanity was a sentient species. I sadly understood where he was coming from. Einstein made a similar observation about sentience, and I use the term in the way that they did. Most unproductive FE reactions and activities are rooted in pre-sentient behaviors. They are all, to one degree or another, reflect allegiance to in-group ideologies. If you want to see somebody lose all semblance of rationality, just challenge their in-group conditioning. Ideological conditioning is as old as civilization, to form that in-group cohesion, but even the lowliest macaque defends its society when it is under attack. So, the "patriotism" that dominated the USA in the wake of 9/11, for instance, was no more sentient than macaques' "rallying around their energy supply." A truly sentient humanity will understand that there is no out-group, which was Jesus's primary message, which largely fell on deaf ears, as Christians are history's most murderous people.

But FE will have Epochal significance, and the masses will not begin to awaken to FE's potential until it is delivered into their lives. It was like that for all previous Epochal Events, and I see no reason why it should be different this time. The biggest event in the human journey is going to be initiated by a relative handful of people, but they will be enough.

I sure cannot guarantee that my approach will succeed, either, but it should not hurt, and will help fill a hole in all FE efforts that I was involved with or have heard of. There has never been an aware and engaged public on the FE front, which really knew what was happening and took an abiding interest in the issue, or truly understood its Epochal significance.

Wade

[Wade Frazier]

Jeez! Speak of the devil, I got an email from Greer's organization minutes ago that called out an article showing the games that the U.S. Patent Office plays, and Greer wisely informs FE aspirants that open-sourcing is the way to go. At least some of us are singing the same song.

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: While your essay covers a broad range of topics, you sure seem focused on the energy issue, even obsessively so. Why don’t you bring in other topics that may broaden your appeal, such as 9/11, catastrophic theory, political skullduggery, ancient astronauts, faked moon landings, various channeled works, insider revelations, news of the latest FE effort, blueprints for FE devices, and the like?

A: Hey, how did you get into the forum! (For the record, I do not see anybody that I invite into the forum asking that question, so I could be accused of not quite playing fair here, but the subject needs to be addressed).

While there is some merit to some of those subjects, they are generally not very relevant to manifesting FE technology in the public sphere, which is my goal. Everything else happening on Earth is noise compared to manifesting FE technology, which I know already exists. Also, I have snooped into those areas for many years, and most of what is presented in the public arena on those subjects is invalid, IMO. I present some information on those subjects, and there will certainly be some discussions of some to them, but those subjects are often fairly irrelevant to manifesting FE, and can really become a huge distraction. I have had interactions with some choir candidates who have taken public stances on some of those issues, and I usually believed that their stances were in error, or were irrelevant to my effort, and when we could not come to an agreement that they had to leave that subject "at the door," they did not join up, and that is more than OK. It is vastly better to address that subject up front than to have it come up later and bring a lot of pain to all involved.

I will address what you brought up, point by point, my sock-puppet friend ( ), and you can see where I am coming from, and you should be able to generalize it to other areas.

I'll start more toward the middle of your list. A friend who helped me bust Dennis out of jail knew that John Kennedy was not killed by Lee Harvey Oswald a few weeks after the assassination. I spent the next dozen years looking into the JFK assassination, on and off, before I ever made a public statement about it. I never found an impressive piece of evidence that falsified my friend's story, and over the years, as more and more evidence has come to light, my friend's tale has been powerfully corroborated. Arguably the best JFK assassination work of the 21st century so far is the first "conspiratorial" work to receive the endorsement of the Kennedy family, and that work argues that elements of the USA's military-industrial (which Eisenhower warned us about) complex did it, and I'll buy that. That book and my friend's book both argue that JFK was killed because he tried to end the Cold War, and I think that it is the likeliest explanation. While my friend's book named names, and that other work was not shy in naming some of the conspirators, either as actual participants in the plan or the subsequent cover-up, such as Allen Dulles, who covered up the CIA's involvement, nobody is ever going to be positively identified and go to prison. That JFK hit seemed to embolden the people behind it, and assassinating American political figures and other targets of the West, with the CIA and FBI right in the middle of it and probably pulling the trigger for many of those assassinations, became a sport for the next generation.

That hit parade kind of ended with the end of the Cold War (FE suppression also became far less violent around the same time), which may be similar to how pristine civilizations became "gentler" from a ruling class perspective, after their rule had been violently established. Probably the main lesson to learn from the JFK hit and its aftermath is that he was the last president who thought that he could importantly impact global events. All presidents since then have been puppets and they know it, and not one of them became president without David Rockefeller's endorsement, but I doubt that David plays at the Global Controller level, but a level or two below it. Every president since Reagan knew Dennis by name, but they are nowhere near the top of the food chain.

So, my radar for such conspiratorial behaviors has been up for many years, but I do not share the predilections of conspiracists, who have adopted the conspiratorial framework as their dominant explanatory framework for how the world works. Such conspiratorial behaviors certainly can have an impressive impact, but they really are a small part of how the world really works. The structuralist perspective is a better one, although both share the same weakness, of seeing elites as the root of our problems when they are just a symptom. They can be a painful symptom, to be sure, but just a symptom all the same. Treating symptoms never cures the disease. My life's work was targeted by conspiratorial efforts from the top of the global food chain, but they are still just a symptom.

I have snooped into other "conspiratorial" areas, but the milieu can often resemble three-ring circuses, and even if the conspiracy theories were accurate, those activities really had trifling impact on the human journey.

In the 21st century, the 9/11 terror attacks became a conspiracist feast, and it would not surprise me in the slightest to discover that the USA's government was complicit in the attacks, above and beyond training the people who mounted the attacks, which nobody can deny. But as with the JFK hit, nobody is going to "solve the crime," not when powerful interests do not want it solved. While I spent plenty of time looking at the evidence and had interaction with the 9/11 community, many have gone off the deep end, and recent events such as the Sandy Hook shootings and the Boston Marathon bombings have been accompanied with the wackiest conspiratorial "theorizing" of all, as people argued that those events never even happened but were staged, and prominent 9/11 voices have promoted such views. Again, while it can be beneficial to poke your nose into a few of those issues, for the learning experience alone, many have gone off the deep end, and 9/11 is a subject that the choir will not be spending much time on. It has bigger fish to fry and does not need the distraction.

One area that I poked into, partly because my father worked in NASA's Mission Control Room was the Apollo program's moon landings. I originally looked into it because of what might have been covered up about them, but got sucked straight into the "faked moon landings" issue partly because my astronaut colleague publicly stated that they might have been faked. I then spent months going deep on the issue, and none of the "faked moon landing" evidence held up to scrutiny, and I eventually discovered positive evidence that removed my residual doubt. My astronaut colleague never did the work to get to the bottom of the issue and greatly regretted his public statement. When I became his biographer, he wrote what became truly his last word on the issue, as he died a few months later. But to this day, I am still approached by people who argue that the moon landings were faked. Anybody who thinks that the moon landings were faked is either scientifically illiterate and is incapable of weighing the evidence, or has not done their homework, and many will likely go to their graves believing that we never landed men on the Moon, just like some people still believe that Earth is flat.

My astronaut colleague had good reason to doubt the official story, as he nearly lost his life, courtesy of the USA's military, when he snooped into the UFO issue. So, doubt about the official story is understandable, but there is no evidence that withstands scrutiny that conspiracists use to argue that the moon landings were faked. If somebody does not have what it takes to do the work and get satisfied, then they likely do not have what it takes to be part of what I am doing. Keen discernment and some scientific literacy are required to be part of my "choir."

When I was 15, comet Kohoutek streamed through our solar system, and I read a book that said that comet would herald some new age (this was before "New Age" was coined), and I even did a book report on the book. Well, the only change that happened was that the USA began going into decline that year. Hmmm, maybe there was something to the comet. Well, let’s just say that events did not pan out how the author claimed they would, and von Daniken's work was prominent then. It was my first exposure to what we today call grand New Age predictions that almost never happen. There was also a big deal about pyramid power, the mystical nature of the megalithic architecture, tales of Atlantis, the "ascent" of the Mayans and Anasazi, etc. I was in training to be a scientist and spent the summer after that Kohoutek book report in Europe, and I was really beginning to develop a no-nonsense approach to that stuff until a few months later, when I had my mystical awakening. It was only then that I became quite the spiritual student.

I have had many experiences that almost nobody can believe, but they happened just as I reported them. I had my mystical awakening in Southern California, which is the heart of the New Age, and I was pretty active. The hucksters abounded. For every Real McCoy, there were a thousand pretenders and dabblers. I thought that I had just about seen it all by the time I was 30. Of course, I had my radicalizing wild ride with Dennis in those years, too.

I have watched UFOs fly overhead and light up on request. I have swum with "free" dolphins, and they sure seemed to like the idea of FE. A voice in my head caused me to change my studies from science to business and led me straight into Dennis's company. I could not make this up if I tried. If somebody obtains Dennis's books, they will see that my role was far more central than I publicly disclose.

I resumed my science studies, which can be seen in my big essay, and that was a very happy outcome for me. But as I did the work, many fringe topics that I had poked into really began falling apart. The "enigmatic" megalithic architecture was built as a form of elite "display," and was made of stone in either that civilization's Stone or Bronze Age. Hey, those people were good at working in stone! While I have witnessed pyramid energy's effects, I strongly doubt that the pyramids were some kind of star gate or the many other New Age interpretations. They were made for elite aggrandizement, the Egyptian necropolis took all of Egypt's surplus energy for a century to build, and back then the pharaohs were deific figures who interceded with the gods to ensure a proper Nile flood. That ruse eventually fell apart, just like they did for all new elites who claimed the divine status that the corrupt priesthood attributed to them. I strongly doubt that studying the megalithic architecture is going to help make FE happen. I have yet to encounter one of the esoteric explanations for the purpose and construction of the megalithic architecture that held up in light of the evidence. There still some mysteries and marvel over what those ancient people built, but give them credit for building them with the tools of the day, not ET and Atlantean technology help.

The civilizations that erected the megaliths largely all vanished, including the Mayans and Anasazi, because they ran out of energy, primarily due to their environmentally unsustainable practices. They did not "ascend." 2012 came and went.

On a related note, literalist interpretations of the Bible or Sumerian cuneiform is a pretty shaky way to reconstruct ancient events, and I do not consider catastrophic hypotheses such as Velikovsky's to be valid.

In my old age, I have kind of lost interest in channeled works. The phenomenon is real and I have had some incredible events happen in channeling sessions that I attended, both group and private, but there is also plenty of chaff out there. In the end, our "friends" from other dimensions really cannot help us much. We are here to learn to paddle our own canoes, not be rescued by the Ascended Masters, the Space Brothers, etc.

I am interested I helping humanity turn the corner. We are on the brink of the biggest event in the human journey, and it will primarily be an energy event, just like with the prior Epochal Events.

I am not a deeply connected "insider," but when you pursue the most transformative technology in the human journey, you attract the attention of the people who run the world. You don't find them; they find you. One close pal got to see FE, antigravity, and other technologies in action, but I will not be invited to a show like that, much less the general public. The stuff is very real, as is Godzilla's vigilance and active mischief, and while I respect efforts such as Greer's and Bill's, I do not pay a whole lot of attention to insider reports of what is happening at the high levels. I hear stuff that I do not doubt is real, but like focusing on the Ascended Masters and Space Brothers to save us, it is easy to get strung out on those stories. A significant portion of those "insider" revelations is disinformation, as anybody who has close followed that milieu for long knows well. Those "insiders" are sometimes just attention seekers posing as insiders, or knowingly spewing disinformation as part of their jobs, or unwittingly being fed it. To me, focusing on those stories very much is just one more way to play the victim game. We have to learn to play the creator game if we are going to turn the corner, and creators create with love.

Similar to those New Age and conspiracist obsessions, the FE field is in a state of arrested development, dominated by scientists and inventors, with varying levels of greed, ego, and other motivations, and a public that laps up the latest pronouncement that the inventor is the Messiah, etc. Thinking that somebody is going to publish some blueprints for an FE device and some tinkerer revolution in garages is going to put humanity over the hump is about as realistic as expecting that we will all get The Muppet Movie ending and we all live happily ever after without even leaving our easy chairs. I do not support that delusional approach, and have been trying to do something else ever since I quit NEM in 2004.

My interviews that I began in 2008, and my big essay and new forum, are that "something else," and I have devoted the rest of my life's "spare" time to building that "choir," and that effort cannot afford the many distractions and dead ends that I am discussing in this post. While I do not regret poking into those areas, they have usually been time-wasters.

Hi:

More choir Q&A.

Q: Wade, are you sure that we will not destroy the planet and ourselves with FE?

A: No, but I am much more confident that we will destroy the planet and ourselves without FE, and the upside of FE is like what nothing else on Earth is capable of delivering. And FE already exists, and we are still here. FE has probably been around for about as long as we have had nuclear bombs, and we did not blow ourselves up with nuclear weapons (at least yet).

I'll get into the specifics in this post, but let me preface it saying that I found that the doom-fearers are just like those people in my life who embraced certain death from cancer and AIDS rather than question their indoctrination or change their habits. It was one of many situations during my journey for which I originally could not believe what I was seeing. Embrace certain death rather than question your beliefs? Wow. It harkens back to Brian O's question of whether humanity is a sentient species. What I eventually learned was that all of those Level 5 people who are outright fearful of FE are just addicted to their scarcity-and-fear based perspective, like those terminal patients that I knew, and just like all those people who just deny FE when they hear about it. They are all just variations of the same basic mindset. I have never been able to engage Level 5 fear people in any kind of rational conversation about the issues.

Basically, there are two fears about FE:

• We will strip-mine the planet a wipe out all ecosystems;

• We will have FE wars and make Earth uninhabitable.

I know that antigravity as well as FE has been developed, and my friend's eyes bugged out when he had it demonstrated to him. Heck, Sparky Sweet's gizmo produced antigravity effects, and I will never forget the awe on my friend's voice as he described Sparky's gizmo operating. Brian O was one of the pioneers in advocating asteroid mining. One of the very first applications of FE and antigravity is going to be becoming a space-faring species, and just one asteroid will provide all of humanity's need for anything that we would mine Earth for, so the "need" to mine Earth would almost instantly disappear. What I have found that people who fear FE do is project today's practices on the future, when such projections are ludicrous. That is similar to what Scott mentioned in my first interview with him and Tom, when a listener made the observation that New Yorkers were asked in 1900 what the biggest problems New York City would face in 2000, and the number one answer was how to remove all the mountains of horse manure. People who think that we will strip-mine Earth with FE are projecting like those New Yorkers did in 1900.

Related fears are that we would raze the rest of Earth's forests and turn the entire surface of Earth into a farm, but that is the same delusional thinking and flies in the face of what is happening today. The energy of fossil fuels has meant that Western nations have been able to regenerate their forests to a great extent, as they no longer needed to get firewood from the forests. Japan treats its forests as sacred groves. If FE makes its appearance, razing the forests for economic benefit will be one of the first things to go. Why would people do it, if there was no economic need? Indoor farms are going to be far preferable to outdoor farms and effortlessly made. People will be able to take their farms with them, wherever in the solar system they want and even beyond.

Slavery was not even challenged as an institution until machines made it economically obsolete. Raping the environment is going to be seen like slavery is today, but until raping the environment (to wrest energy from it) will not stop until it becomes economically obsolete to do so, and FE and related technologies will make it obsolete.

The fears of using FE to further devastate the environment seem very misguided and just a projection of irrational fears, a projection of scarcity onto a situation of abundance. In a world based on FE, there will still be laws and government, but they will look nothing like today's as wealth and power issues will become obsolete. The primary goals will be safety, nurturing all life, including all humans, and other goals that are barely on the radar in a world of scarcity, greed, fear, and violence.

Speaking of violence, that brings me to the second fear, of having some kind of war that destroys the planet. All wars for all time have been primarily economic in nature, although one of the universal features of war has been publicly denying that motivation, which is easily seen in the tawdry rationales that the USA trotted out for invading Iraq. The level of stupidity required to swallow such obvious lies is impressive, and intellectuals regularly achieve that mind-boggling level of stupidity, but it has always been that way, as people defend the indefensible actions of their in-group. Orwell noted that proclivity, but there will be no incentive for that kind of soul-selling in a world of abundance.

As Greer has noted when fielding those Level 5 fear observations, the worst elements of humanity already possess FE technology, and we are all still here, so those fears really seem misplaced, and it is kind of an orgiastic flight of a fearful imagination, not really connected to any kind of likely reality. As people like Mark discovered, the Big Boys can detect when the ZPF is tapped, and have likely been able to detect and disable the weaponization of FE for many years, so that problems has likely already been solved. I advocate that global peacekeeping force of grandmothers authorized to take the toys away from the boys who cannot play nicely, until nobody has to be reminded anymore.

As I have written, an appropriate orientation to the FE issue is probably about 95% devoted to the positive outcomes of FE and related technologies, and about 5% caution. With FE, our ability to solve our problems goes up by orders of magnitude, just as it always has when the energy supply was increased with humanity's Epochal Events. Being overwhelmed and driving ourselves to extinction with FE seems to be about the least likely outcome of embracing FE technology, not the most.

Heck, this will be the first Epochal Event in which the inventors had the foggiest idea what it would lead to, and I know that my wildest imaginings can barely scratch the surface of what a world based on FE can look like. For people's imaginations to immediately imagine scenes of death and destruction is just what Godzilla likes to see, as we fervently hold onto the chains that we have around our hearts and brains. We do Godzilla's work for him when we do that.

When Brian asked me to help him write that DOE proposal, which was about dealing people's transition fears, I really wondered what he thought that we would accomplish. My experience was that almost everybody gets stuck in denial, first, and I never found that those who feared FE had anything rational to say and were just projecting their fears onto everything around them. I do not really believe in a democratic process for making FE happen. The vast majority of humanity is in ignorance, denial, and fear, and will be no help in making FE happen. FE activists thinking that there needs to be some kind of global vote are not thinking very clearly about the issue. Was there a poll before the first stone tool was created, the first fire controlled, the first plant and animal domesticated, or when Darby began his smelting operation using coal? FE is going to come to the world through a relatively small group of people, and the rest of humanity will go along for the ride, as they always have.

Wade,

Post 4335 should be read by all avalon folk...

What of Sandy Hook? it is the latest thing with the net folks...

Wade i DO NOT discuss 9/11 truth or Sandy Hook with any one I know even though true what the conspiracy folks say...

Could I go up to a member of the cycling club that I am in and say "NO ONE DIED AT SANDY HOOK" and still remain a member in good standing?

How about on my job....yet I am retired and some price will be paid...

Wade, your view of the world is very logical and one would stay safe there...

Much thanks for your work....

Did you ever see a film called John Carter?

There is mention of free energy in this movie....

I just love to watch this movie...

thanx..

Wade,

Did you know that 22 military and former military folks kill themselves everyday?

and of course many in the federal service....do so but no numbers on that...

In Federal service there is liberal life insurance that can be purchased with no penalty for a suicide....

Could not this be tied to our war machine in america and the rot of everything to that war machine that must find energy to continue the deal?


Payouts are huge but when one can print unlimited money who would care...

Hi Nine:

No, I have not seen or read John Carter, but FE or some new and exotic power source is a common enough Hollywood theme.

On soldiers, I grew up in the Vietnam era, and encountered plenty of the wrecked men who fought there. Among Vietnam vets, more died from suicide than died in battle. We are creating a new generation of destroyed men (and women) with our imperial adventures, but, of course, the damage inflicted on our imperial targets is something that we have only seen with the Mongols, Nazis, and other wonderful company to be in. Our brutality is legendary. One grandfather was crippled in World War I, the other grandfather came back messed up from World War II, my father came home a wreck from Korea, and I nearly went to the Air Force Academy. Fight, fight, fight…The American Way.

I know somebody who had a relative at Sandy Hook as a student when the shooting began. All of that "nobody died at Sandy Hook" talk is part of the USA's lunatic fringe, which is growing every day as our society declines. When I saw all of that "the Boston Marathon bombing did not really happen" talk, and led by some of the leading conspiracist voices, it was sickening. That conspiracist stuff has really gone off the deep end.

All of that imperial violence is related very closely to those instances of domestic violence. Pretty obvious, one would think, but it seems that few Americans can make the connection…

Wade

Hi:

Briefly, Ralph McGehee was destroyed by his stint in Vietnam, but my helicopter story was a new one to him, and if he had not been silenced by the CIA, he might have published that one. The perpetrator of that "skeet shooting" was a member of Special Forces. Some of the most heinous acts that I have heard of were committed by Special Forces. I have known people who were members of such missions ("normal" soldiers were often inducted into Special Forces ops and other "off the books" operations, who learned to break necks with their bare hands and other neat tricks), and it messed them up, to put it lightly.

In ways, the USA's Special Forces are like Hitler's SS troops. I guess that elite soldiers are supposed to slaughter people in "elite" ways.

Best,

Wade
