Planetary Phase 71% complete...

Ever since I was young there have been people talking about the end times. Christians speaking about a time when the world will end and judgment day would come a day when God would judge the world.

The judgment is come, but it is not God who will be judging man, but the planet the ecosystem the artificial systems designed by men to enslave other men. The judgment that is being heard, man is not a sustainable part of the biosphere called earth.

From orbit we see every color mostly blue and green, mostly a planet of abundant resources, mostly horded and wasted by men.

The end of times are here, but not one where God claims the earth for his people. The end of times when people reclaim their sovereign rights as individuals no more or no less then any other but equals. The end of times for slave labor, scarcity made by the political, monetary and religious systems of the world. It is the end of times for the social and economic stratification of society. It is the end of times for public education which really is public indoctrination training our children to be consumers. It is the end of times for the power elite who amount to less then 10% of the population and hold 90% of it's wealth, we out number those bastards their time is come too.

It is a great beginning to a new planetary society, and the dawning of the age of Aquarius in approximately 140 years.

The interesting thing about the coming age of Aquarius is it coincides with the projected time frame we will achieve a type 1 civilization. So what we do over the next 50 years is critical, we could accelerate the speed at which we become a type 1 or slow down.

According to projections and the Kardashev scale we are a type .71 civilization, we only use between 14 and 16 terawatts of power globally per year. But like a bottle of Champaign just a little tap and pressure on the cork and it pops. But to reach planetary civilization status we need to be able to harness all of the earths energy estimated at 174 Petawatts basically 25 megatons of TNT a second. That's a lot of juice, but we are going to need to use it to benefit everyone on the planet we cannot afford not to.

It's not out of the question to think in 100 years there will be 1 trillion people on this planet. We better get started now in building the infrastructure to sustain that possibility.

You may laugh and say "In a hundred years I'll be dead! Who cares?" not if the projections for the next 20 years are correct. Within 20 years we will have technology that will allow you to run 50 yard dash on one breath. We will have clothes that act as armor and bionic augmentation for strength and endurance. Built into our clothes will be a neural computer network 1,000 more powerful then todays #1 super computer, and five times more powerful then your brain.

We will have nanobots that travel through our blood repairing things from the inside. Microscopic laboratories that can identify a germ and introduce it to a tropoblast cell and if the T-cell can't kill it the bot will, then it releases them both to be identified by our immune system and the whole immune system programs itself to kill that germ.

These bots can hold a collective intelligence and even communicate with our minds, give a woman status on the peak of her ovulation. They might even be able to be told to change our hair color, and make us sweat titanium oxide in the hot summer sun. But the first thing these bots with be programmed to do is keep us alive longer.

So it's possible I could live to be 150 or 200 even with all the late 20th century damage I've sustained.

This planetary civilization is not the conspiratorial "New World Order" of Hitler and the Bush Nazi's it is a quasi-utopia. I say quasi-utopia, because there is no utopia, an emergent society can not settle for a static existence like utopia, because once reached we will out grow it the next day. There is no utopia, because as humans we will still have all the weaknesses, we must engineer a society to minimize the behavioral abnormalities, a utopia could never do that.

As we approach the end of type 0 civilization we need to change our philosophy. Much of the end of the 20th century was marked by a boom in the DIY craze, you know Do-It-Yourselfers, Skill, DeWalt and Makita and every other tool company are grateful and we wouldn't have Home Depot if it wasn't for that. Well it's time for Society DIY, we have the technology today to allow people to govern themselves. We have the technology today to be able to feed clothe and house people, everyone. We can do this, but what is stopping us is the monetary system, the political system and the religious system.

These three systems are old, older then much of recorded history, and for all we know could be the hegemoni the holy trinity that fashoned this whole scheme from the beginning.

Who knows, but soon we will find out where this world is going, enlightenment or dark ages II.

Chrysler, Ford and GM! Oh, my!

Listen folks here's some plain talk from your crazy uncle Seth, they need to retool their business strategy as much as their assembly lines.

So I was reading on Yahoo how GM is whining about their not having a bankruptcy option, whaa poor baby! I have some ideas that will undoubtedly piss alot of people off but, that's what I'm good at and I'm not about to change horses in midstream.

First all three of the piglets of automotive pork need to focus on how they are going to help support all the little industries that have been built up around their industry. There are hundreds of companies that support the Automotive Industry exclusively and stand to go out of business too. The big picture is that if the big piglets cannot pull it together they are going to cause an industrial dust-bowl. So a change in philosophy is in order, a philosophy of interdependence, the reality is this without the cottage industry of engine manufacturers, and textile makers, electronics producers, plastics, metal fab etc... they would be done for. So let's look at that first, and begin forming a plan that helps them survive through this too.

• Decide to standardize equipment by making engines and transmissions and all the basic drivetrain and electronics interchangable between manufactures
• Combine R&D
• Allow features exclusive to each brand to be incorporated into the others per customer request
• Bring the final assembly to the dealerships, thus allowing final customization at the point of sale, and avoiding the waste of unwanted vehicles sitting on the lot

Second if the first part of the plan is not effective enough after 1 or 2 years they should merge, which would be easier since they would have effectively merged their infrastructure for manufacturing and supply chain. Merger is one of the only ways to retain the viability of supporting the smaller industries that support the automotive industries.

Third in the effort to support a truly sustainable vehicle industry the three little piglets need to look at decentralizing their assembly even further like I said about leaving final assembly to the dealerships. They should source the assembly of the individual modules to local plants that build on demand.

Forth, this maybe a stretch but it should be investigated. Build a lifetime vehicle that customizes as the owners lifestyle changes. Let's say I love the look and utility of a Ford Expedition but I'm single, I don't need all that room. So the future cars will be modular in expansion, I order a two seater Expedition. Later I get married and have kids, it order the expansion module go to the dealer and they install it. I have more kids or I need to car pool, so we add modules. Later the kids grow up move out, so I go to the dealership and have the modules removed.

One final note, if we do bail out these porkers, I think every move they make should be voted on by us, the same for the banking industry, but I'll save that for another rant.

I'd like to acknowledge The Zeitgeist Movement, Jacques Fresco - Future by Design and The Tellus Institute for contributing to many of my ideas in this blog.
