Just interesting news to me.
It is supposed to be getting warmer, not colder. Maybe ice is building up under pressure from warm temperatures…
>>> “According to official government data from the National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC), 2020’s Antarctic Sea Ice Extent has been increasing rapidly this month, to levels rarely seen since record-keeping began 4+ decades ago.”

She is a specialist on the subject. I think we will still have a warmer period for the next 5-6 years and then it will start to get very cold.
>>> “Currently, the Sun has completed solar cycle 24 – the weakest cycle of the past 100+ years – and in 2020, has started cycle 25. During the periods of low solar activity, such as the modern grand solar minimum, the Sun will often be devoid of sunspots. This is what is observed now at the start of this minimum, because in 2020 the Sun has seen, in total, 115 spotless days (or 78%), meaning 2020 is on track to surpass the space-age record of 281 spotless days (or 77%) observed in 2019. However, the cycle 25 start is still slow in firing active regions and flares, so with every extra day/week/month that passes, the null in solar activity is extended marking a start of grand solar minimum.”

He does not believe in vaccines. Maybe he is right. His father and uncle were both killed. Who knows why.

Some very interesting images in this article. It is believed to be methane but could be anything at this point. A little bit strange that they “suddenly” appearing now.
>>> “Such funnels are believed to be caused by the build up of methane gas in pockets of thawing permafrost under the surface.”

I agree with this guy. I also started my career with punched cards, and was flirting with paper tape for a little while on PDP computers. I am not a fan of commercial software but when I interact with them I try to remove all automatic updates. They are more often than not full of surprises.
>>> “More often than not automatic updates are not done with the interest of the user in mind. “
Another mystery and this one seems to be tied to the diminishing sunspots.
>>> “The light is “nightglow.” We have it here on Earth, too, where it’s called “airglow.” During the day, ultraviolet radiation from the sun breaks apart compounds in the upper atmosphere. At night, the atoms reassemble, glowing as they put themselves back together again. On Earth, airglow looks like the aurora borealis; people can actually see it. On Mars, the emission is ultraviolet, invisible to the human eye.”
To my knowledge, the earliest sign of “Civilisation” falls around 8500 years ago. These scientists are excavating some statues that were made between 20000 and 45000 years ago. Is it possible that these people who were living at that time, were civilized in another manner? Creating a statue seems pretty civilized to me.
>>> “We studied several mammoth ivory items found at Ust-Kova: a mammoth figurine, a seal sculpture, and bracelets and beads of different sizes that were created around 24 thousand years ago.”
I spent my whole youth dreaming about space and its possibilities. The adventure, the discoveries, the science, were all attractive to me. Today, I still think that space is our “next frontier”, but I do not think that human beings are designed to live in it.
We are also not designed to live on other planets. We have too much of our DNA invested on the planet Earth.
Maybe, someone might be able, one day, to prove that human beings were “planted” on earth, but in the meantime, I will keep the opinion that we are not meant to live somewhere else.
The job seems perfect for AI and robots though. We should focus on doing our exploration with robots. There is no need to take big risks and sometimes, at some tasks, robots can do a better job.
We are still in control of robots and we will always be. I am not afraid of that. We might experience some bumps but we will prevail, only because we have creative reason and the power to think about our thinking, one level higher, ad infinitum.

What else is new?
He made a lot of money with his writing but I think he is interesting.
Sometimes a little bit too much on the hypochondriac side, but he is a great source of information. I am a little bit hypochondriac myself. These days, it is safer to be a little bit hypochondriac.

The best of this month, so far. Another very good analysis of this mediatic campaign. Very well written and documented. He is making sense without falling into deep paranoia. Just asking questions and providing some good information.
>>> “We have learned that people who are asymptomatic can, cannot, can, cannot, can, cannot, can… spread the virus.
That the accuracy of PCR antigen testing is brilliant, useless, brilliant, useless, brilliant, useless.
That false positive tests are impossible, common, impossible, common, impossible, common.

We also know that some people are, are not, are, are not are, naturally immune. ”“I even gritted my teeth and wrote the book Doctoring Data in order to help people understand the endless games and manipulations that are played with research studies. ”
This is interesting. I will move South for this 2020-2021 winter. My two favorites countries are Cuba and Mexico. This winter will be the worst of cycle 24, then we should have a break for about 5 to 7 years and then it will go down cycle 25 it looks very very bad from then on.
>>> “…the Farmers’ Almanac bases its outlook on a “mathematical and astronomical formula” dating back to 1818 that takes sunspot activity and other astronomical anomalies into account,…”

Maybe we should have all done that. The article is not easy to read and it is long to get to the point.
>>> “…simply went to live with their native friends — the Croatoans of Hatteras,…”
She is very interesting. It is a shame how much she was and still is silenced. I would have loved to see a debate between her and Mr. Trump instead of the dull and dumb battle that is coming up.
>>> “…It has been a tradition that spanned decades for any candidate who earned a delegate to be offered a speaking slot at the convention. Tulsi was not invited.” “
Peertube is a P2P emulation of YouTube. You can publish videos with Peertube and have complete control over them. Nobody can ban your videos from it

I think that the best sustainable use of land is not to try to do better than nature or god, or the universe. We are not smart enough to do better with the land than the land will do, by itself, in a natural way.
We think that we can control the land to suit our needs better, but we are only satisfying our immediate needs at the price of abusing that same land.
Who is to say that using a million acres for soya is better than the forest that was there?
Who is to say that raising a million cows is better than the buffalo that was there before and without fences?
In America, instead of conquering the natives, we should have adopted their way of life and respect nature better. If you use your brain right, it should be easier to hunt/trap as a system of sustenance than farming.
Like they say when men are fishing; The white man looks for fish, the aboriginal looks for ducks (and finds fishes underneath).
>>> “”Milk produced from dairy cows given diets containing soya bean meal is a more sustainable use of land than producing human drink products directly from soya beans, especially when cows are grazed on pastures.””
The keywords here are “…the most likely explanation…”.
That’s it, take some hypothesis, suppositions, assumptions, and present it as truth enough to make an article out of it.
This article is stupid and made to attract weak minds and strong minds that were prevented to evolve.
It is not because the “conservationists” are against some optimally efficient way to gather food that is in itself a bad thing. They are not god. They do not know everything. They can be wrong about their most precious belief.
>>> “…what marine researchers now say is the most likely explanation: China is sending a previously invisible armada of industrial boats to illegally fish in North Korean waters,…”

We are evolving/mutating and we should not be thinking like we were thinking a hundred years ago.
The real problem here, as I see it, is the media that propagate basic ideas too quickly. The media will take a statistical study and expand it as truth and we all fall for it.
>>> “About a decade ago, Fu discovered the first human gene linked to natural short sleep; people who had a rare genetic mutation seemed to get the same benefits from six hours of sleep a night as those without the mutation got from eight hours.”
Lately, every time I eat chicken, I do not feel very well. I tend to eat it only when I really miss it. My own consumption has dropped down to about 1 pound per month.
I have heard of people who have started to feed chicken outdoors and exclusively with scrap and absolutely no grains. I find it a good idea.
I do think that grains are bad for consumption. I do not find it natural to consume grains.
Plants are using grains to procreate. Would you have the best protection for your children? I know I would, and I suspect that plants have also put some special poisons in seeds to protect them.
This article have good information about the chicken industry.
>>> “Chicken consumption exploded. In the mid-1920s the average American ate about 14 pounds per year. Between 1976 and 1989 per capita consumption rose by 50 percent. By 1980 that average American was eating roughly 35 pounds of chicken per year. By 1995: more than 50 pounds. 2001: 82 pounds. In 2016, according to the USDA, it was up to nearly 92 pounds.”
There is something very interesting about vitamin D.
We should encourage more studies about this vitamin. I would prefer studies that do not involve statistics.
There is a lot to observe about this vitamin. For example, people living in northern countries, like myself, tend to get more sick during the winter when there is a lack of vitamin D production because of the indirect light source from the sun and the shortening of the daylight.
We should be careful to make conclusions on these observations alone.
>>> “But correlation does not equal causation. The fact that two things are related does not imply that one caused the other.”
I still believe that trapping is a better way to hunt and provide food from wildlife.
Fishing, even with a single line, is a form of trapping. Even with active hunting, the hunter has to use some kind of food source that the prey uses.
It seems to me, that passive trapping, where the hunter is not present, is a better use of the hunter’s time.
>>> ” Some of the earliest solid evidence of poison use is traces of the highly toxic compound ricin on 24,000-year-old wooden applicators, found in South Africa’s Border cave. ”

I do not think there has been any civilization, in the past, that was as advance as we are now.
They may have evolved differently and had a different culture/society, but some pieces of evidence is showing that there was never a period long enough in the past to ensure some evolution like the one we are experiencing now.
Most of the time, this planet was frozen with some very short periods of warmth.
>>> “In the long trajectory of humanity over the last 250,000 years on earth, one is forced to ask questions relating to the cyclical nature of civilization and technology. Given that we only possess some notion of a history of civilization going back some 12 thousand years, it raises the subject of how many times humanity has ‘risen and fallen’, and in which different ways it has done so. In this age, the age of machines where empirical knowledge is the beginning and end of our science, we are asked to look back. “
This is interesting. I already have a hard time eating ‘prepared food’ (who knows what they put in there!!), and somebody wants to convince me to directly inject me with something ‘prepared’. I don’t think so.
They will never tell us exactly what is inside those injections. They will probably invoke some sort of security reason to avoid revealing the content of those things.
>>> “I was also trained as a conspiracy generator and foot soldier—conspiracies being the fundamental organizing principle of how things get done in our world. It was not until I left the establishment that I learned that those not in the club had been trained to disparage and avoid conspiracies—a clever trick that sabotages their efforts to gather power.”

You can say a lot of things about Mr. Trump, but he has a way to avoid being silenced.
The smartest thing a person can do is not to look smart. That will always make your opponents underestimates you.
If you go to a car mechanic stating everything you ‘think’ your car has a problem with, then he already sold you on very expensive repairs. If you enter the shop saying “It is just a little toc-toc, then the shop will be very cautious about selling you an expensive repair like a new motor or transmission.
>>> “But it was a comment that president made about having rich and powerful enemies and saying he might disappear “for a while” that got the attention of many.”
The slow evolution of humans seems to be accepted among scientists.
We have spent millions of years eating something different than agricultural products. Maybe our bodies are not accustomed to something drastically different.
>>> “The researchers also found that 1% of the Denisovan genome hails from the genes of an unknown ancestor, from an interbreeding event that must have happened, roughly, a million years ago.”

I was not aware that the vagus nerve would have ramifications up to the ears and that it is possible to stimulate it through the ears.
With some researches, it is well accepted that the stimulation of the vagus nerve will bring a lot of benefits to a human body. Those benefits include less anxiety, more attention focus, better imagination, etc.
Of course, all those benefits are tied to the learning process.
Vagus nerve stimulation is often achieved through controlled respiration like in yoga, some martial arts, meditation, and relaxation sessions, etc.

More and more people are trying to quit “central” systems and moving to peer to peer systems. They want to be free of aleatory restrictions.
The driving forces behind ‘centralized systems’ seems to be our own need for security. A few people are starting to realize that security is not something you can outsource. When one is relying on another entity for its security, one is bound to have some surprises one day.
>>> “P2P bitcoin marketplace Paxful has been growing its operation in India where it has seen a significant increase in trading volume.”

I am a fan of peer to peer, in any way we can provide it.
Bitcoin is already a peer to peer system. In itself, it encourages some more.
>>> “The data combines trading volumes at two peer-to-peer trading platforms, Localbitcoins and Paxful.”
I have high hopes about peer to peer technologies. The less we encourage centralization the better we will live.
Again, it is only an illusion that control is better. I think it is always good to leave nature takes its own course and not interfere with it.

J’avais compris, dès ma jeunesse, que la seule vrai richesse vient de la connaissance. Avec l’âge, je comprends aussi que la connaissance est associé à la liberté.
La liberté n’est pas quelque chose qui vient de quelqu’un en particulier.
>>> “L’un des moyens de contrôler les esprits est l’information — mensonges et récits — qui est distillée dans l’esprit des citoyens : une surexposition des grands médias de la presse écrite et audiovisuelle, une corruption profonde du monde universitaire et de la recherche scientifique et, enfin et surtout, une baisse du niveau d’éducation scolaire combinée à une propagande croissante de plus en plus adaptée aux jeunes. ”

I think she is right about it affecting everybody, even if we do not watch MSNBC or any other mainstream media for that matter.
It would affect you even if you are completely disconnected from the internet, just because of the social pressures generated by the consensus.
>> “You may not watch MSNBC but just know that this problem still affects you, too. All the commercial networks function the same – and no doubt that content seeps into your social media feed, one way or the other.”
We do not know a lot about the functioning of our own brains. it may seem that we do, but we don’t. We need to get away from ‘sponsored’ science if we want a chance of approaching some real knowledge one day.
>> “…then discovered that he had a disease called corticobasal syndrome, which kills off brain cells.

I love this. I find myself completely in sync with this view. I do think the natural way of life is to know your place in the food chain.
I do believe that the human being is not supposed to eat insects all the time.
>>> “Look out, Beyond Meat — a new competitor has emerged in the market of turning vegetables into a food that tastes just like meat.”
Definitely something strange with the banning of hydroxychloroquine.
I will remember this banning for a long, long time. It feels more like an abuse of power, to me. I hope we will know all about it, in the future.
Here, we seem to approach the truth.
