Re: Climate Instability
To: Whom it does concern
Slim: Measurements, tests and indications are that the planet is warming up more so and faster than it has in about 10 million years ? at about 0.12* C ? or so per decade above the 15.08 *C global average circa 1940 AD ? and there's a 1/100 probability ? that inappropriate human activity and a Carbon and fossil fuel economy is causing or contributing to it through increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere above the norm of 350 ppm of CO2 ?, leading to an increasing greenhouse gas effect which may therein lead and result in and to species and habitat destruction and the death of 2 billion humans if the temperature rise exceeds 2* C ?.. And it is possible that this data and info was somewhat known at or around the time of the Nixon Admin. in the 1960s AD? and may thus cause current G 20 Governments to impose and enforce a 10 to 40 % Global Carbon Tax?.
So what do you think we should do about it Buba?
Buba: I don't know get some more ice for the beer I suppose.
Slim: Yup that should do it.

THE BICYCLE PARADIGM
Well firstly my apologies perhaps, this is a rather long and perhaps absurd essay or comment of sorts but if you can stretch and grasp the thread or logic of it then perhaps it may indeed have some merit.
I'm not sure, what do you suppose "drives" the human economy to such seemingly destructive tendencies against or on the environment? Is it perhaps a flaw or quirk of some sort in and of human nature, that hampers us from being more aware or cognizant of the consequences of our behavior and actions?
Or rather, eureka, alternatively are we perhaps to smart or efficient at what we do and this over success and super predator status thus makes us to good at the job for our own and long term good? Well well, thus it may be our superiority then that is or will be our Achilles heel in the end but then granted the solution to such might then be as simple as engineering back some environmental slack into the global economic equation and system say to the tune of -10 to - 30 % say as a kind of "junk" economic data or inefficiency akin perhaps to the mysterious junk DNA found in the genome. We thus might achieve a more natural economic equation in the process by increasing selective inefficiencies akin somewhat to a kind of economic biomimicry status or model.
But true though its probably more complicated then just engineering in some haphazard inefficiencies but maybe more having some kind of selective inefficiencies that can afford some opportunities, benefits and advantages to many species other than our own in the natural dynamic, system and chain. It would be a most complex equation to design perhaps but could be assisted by reference to the field of biomimicry as a natural example or mentor of such. Such as a seasonal economy thus as well as a sustainable one.
Well glad you have humored me to this point but I will continue the case by saying that by using less efficient human labor then rather or other than machine labor such may in fact then have a basis in science and nature of necessary inefficiency, A good or simple model or example or compromise of such to grasp on to would be to take the lowly bicycle as a happy medium example of the proper human, nature and machine equation or construct to emulate further hence the title, the bicycle paradigm.
So basically then my premise is simply that maybe inefficiencies or certain kinds of inefficiencies are not totally all a bad or useless or an undesirable thing and may in fact result in a longer term, all around benefit not simply for humans but to the whole natural system of which we humans are only one part.
True I suppose it does seem somewhat counter intuitive at first glance to the logical and reasoning human mind but consider that the wisdom and logic of nature was not crafted in the machine or human time frame but over millions and billions of years and therein perhaps lies the subtle disconnect or defect in and of the humor or machine logic, sensorium and reasoning, that then, which seems to have eluded us somewhat till now.
Well maybe, seems possible if not probable or at least worth a discussion and or debate about or on perhaps..
