About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

He has several highly interesting ideas. Putting them into effect on a large scale could inspire a major paradigm shift.
I agree with TomCat, though the biggest paradigm shift would be to get corporate America to look beyond the temporary "cheap" status-quo. It seems whenever gas prices spike, these ideas become headlines... only to fall into obscurity when gas prices drop once more.
Seriously, if this were taken on as a national goal, like the Moon Race was in my youth, it has the potential to put this country back on the map as desirable place for future generations to live.
