Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

Who can say where I'll be in ten years? Or even five? Who can say what the state of the planet will be, or even where we'll be as a species in ten years? The future is so uncertain it almost seems silly to try and predict trivialities such as the location and activities of one individual. The pragmatist/pessimist in me suggests there is no sense in planning for a future where there is every likelihood that the educational/governmental/financial institutions on which I would be relying will no longer be there. What point is there in devoting resources to attaining a degree that won't matter? Or paying taxes to a nation that will no longer exist? These notions have long kept me from diving headlong into opportunities that may well have ended up making me a better person or allowing me to lead a more secure life, and for this I have much regret. Doubt and fear of uncertainty have kept me from making long-term plans; but have not entirely frozen me. There is an advantage to this outlook: fluidity. I have kept myself flexible in terms of the ways in which I may apply myself. I have devoted myself to acc**ulating knowledge that will allow me to solve whatever myriad problem may arise, and a sort of morbid fortitude that prepares me for dark days ahead. I believe we, as a wh*** species, are in for rough seas; but at the same time I believe we are still in a place from which we can bounce back. I am determined to take part in initiating the return..
So in ten years, where will I be? I could be in a jungle in Borneo, regrowing rain-forest.. Or in India or Africa, trying to set up clinics to bring free medical attention to those who need it. Or, perhaps, working to find a more cost-efficient and scalable solar panel material.. Maybe developing hardier food crops to grow in areas with poor soil condition, or teaching Middle-Eastern children to build windmills.. The point I'm getting at is: who the hell knows? The applications for a well-trained mind are infinite, and the necessity for people who know the World is ever-growing. I want to be one of the people who can fill that demand..

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
