The Green economy seems to be taking off finally

It is a very quite revolution taking place  in the USA with three big enemies: The fossil fuel establishment, the democratic and the Republican parties. These two parties have been bought off and lobbied to death by the oil player. This political exchange has kept us in the dark in terms of advancements towards a cleaner, non toxic, sustainable and energy secure living model.
 But regardless there is an underground current slowly moving us forward to the inevitable switch that has to be made to avoid a mega global crisis due to climate change.This crisis could mean lack of water, food, severe weather shifts, large numbers of environmental refugees, etc. There is more awareness and money moving towards a global shift. One thing is for sure this current model does not work and will not work. I am very hopeful that we are moving in the right direction because if it is not-Game over

Passion versus craft

I am reading a very good book about the great dilemma that most of us are confronted with, finding our passion. The author takes a reverse approach, first become really good at something and eventually you will become passionate about that activity that your are mastering. The Book is "So Good they can't ignore you" by Cal Newport. It has  changed my all whole view on finding my passion. He actually believes that focusing on your passion is actually the wrong approach.  I am enjoyed it very much. Now I am looking at my business and creative life as the process of mastering my craft instead of the constant search for what I am suppose to be passionate about which could be very vague and abstract and therefore hard to pin point.

The UN General Assembly meeting should be done over Skype

This week New York City is full of diplomats and so called leaders running around in their limos loaded with their US security entourage  creating big traffic jams. I was walking on Madison Avenue around 56 Street when I saw a group of FBI or CIA looking agents, like ten of them protecting the wives or family members of these dignitaries. The first thought I had was" what a waste of tax payers money to protect all these people that are doing more damage than good to the world", probably a lot of them are part of corrupt regimes and governments. Here we are protecting them as they shop at high end luxury brands in NYC with most likely revenues from their nation's people's income paid for by our very over extended and severely in debt USA government. The worst part is that the United Nations accomplishments are very little on the expense to results ratio. But yes are putting up with all this traffic, cost and annoyance for not much. I say the General Assembly should be broadcast online via Skype. It would be best for all of us on this planet. This meeting is a big waste of fossil fuels and stolen funds. The next step would be for the UN to go condo.

Time for transparency algorithms

Transparency is the new killer app but extreme clarity is the new paradigm. It is becoming harder and harder to hide. Politician, dictators and corrupt and in humane corporate practices will slowly be on the run, being chase by the network, transparency algorithms, information pirates and hopefully well informed and conscious masses of citizens. We must not accept any less them extreme Transparency.

Today is a sad reminder of the dark consequences of chasing oil around the Planet.

Today is a reminder of the terrible consequences of our oil chasing practices around the planet. If the Arab countries were Tomato producers we would never be involved in their affairs which has had deadly results in terms of lives lost and economic destruction.  It is now time we stop. Yes stop and move into a sustainable, energy independent, low or zero toxicity environmental paradigm. We could do it the technology is there what is not there is a group of honest and visionary politician willing not to be bought by the fossil fuel sector. These power pimps simple give a bad name to Capitalism. We need to move out the old paradigm of crony capitalism and become real American capitalist.

A narco Orangutan is on loose in Latin America

This wild Orangutan is destroying and polluting his country. He feeds himself with Oil and power. Lately he has turned to drug trafficking. Several of his top primate generals have been called out by the US government as kingpins and to be precise one of them is the minister of the defense very close to orangutan number one. The Minster of defense is  in charge of defending the supreme primate not from  outside forces but from others in the zoo that are tired of the abuse, the humiliation,  the destruction and in some cases are starting to rebel. The top primate(orangutan #1) has closed down thousands of business eliminating productivity as well as expropriating great amounts of land to be left unproductive and abandoned. He wants all in the zoo to be dependent on him and his bananas and never be self reliant. This angry primate does not permit other monkeys to have different opinions nor beliefs. Corruption is how  he keeps the zoo in check. He feeds the top monkeys lots of money and then they become addicted to stealing and then he has them under his control forever. He has been trying to expand his destruction through out Latin America, be careful it could reach the USA shores. Stop feeding the beast do not buy his Oil. Orangutan alert is on. He is on the loose, armed and dangerous. He is angry but ignorant.
