would be part of a horror movie.
Well, lots of people today use the term 'cold science'
because it's analytical
and they don't even know what analytical means.
Science means:
closer approximationsto the way the world really works.
So, it's telling the truth - is what it is
A scientist doesn't try to get along with people.
They tell them what their findings are.
They have to question all things
and if some scientist comes up with an experiment that shows
certain materials have certain strengths
other scientists have to be able to duplicate
that experiment and come up with the same results.
Even if a scientist feels that an airplane wing
due to mathematics or calculations
can hold up a given amount of weight
they still pile sandbags on it
to see when it breaks and they say
you know my calculations are right or they are not correct'.
I love that system because it's free of bias
and free of thinking that math can solve all the problems.
You have to put your Math to test also.
I think that every system that can
be put to test should be put to test.
And that all decisions should be based upon research.
A Resource-Based Economy is simply the
scientific method applied to social concern -
an approach utterly absent in the world today.
Society is a technical invention.
And the most efficient methods of optimized human health
physical production, distribution, city infrastructure and the like
reside in the field of science and
technology - not politics or monetary economics.
It operates in the same systematic way as, say an airplane
and there is no Republican or Liberal way to build an airplane.
Likewise, nature itself is the
physical referent we use to prove our science
and it is a set system -
emerging only from our increased understanding of it.
In fact, it has no regard for what you
subjectively think or believe to be true.
Rather, it gives you an option:
you can learn and fall in line with its
natural laws and conduct yourself accordingly -
invariably creating good health & sustainability...
or you can go against the current - to no avail.
It doesn't matter how much you believe you can just
stand up right now and walk on the wall next to you
the law of gravity will not allow it.
If you do not eat - you will die.
If you are not touched as an infant - you will die.
As harsh as it may sound, nature is a dictatorship
and we can either listen to it and come in harmony with it
or suffer the inevitable adverse consequences.
So, a Resource-Based Economy is nothing more
than a set of proven, life supporting understandings
where all decisions are based upon
optimized human and environmental sustainability.
It takes into account the empirical "Life Ground"
which every human being shares as a need
regardless, again, of their political or religious philosophy.
There is no cultural relativism to this approach.
It isn't a matter of opinion.
and having access to the necessities of life, such as clean air
nutritious food and clean water
along with a positively reinforcing, stable
nurturing, non-violent environment, is demanded
for our mental and physical health
our evolutionary fitness
and hence, the species survival itself.
A Resource-Based Economy
would be based upon available resources.
You can't just bring a lot of people to an island
or build a city of 50,000 people without having access
to the necessities of life.
So, when I use the term 'a comprehensive systems approach'
I'm talking about doing an inventory of the area first
and determining what that area can supply -
not just architectural approach -
but design must be based on all of the requirements
and that's what I mean by an integrated way of thinking.
Food, clothing, shelter, warmth, love -
All those things are necessary
and if you deprive people of any of them
you have a lesser human being, less capable of functioning.
As previously outlined, a Resource-Based Economy's ground up
global, systems approach to extraction, production and distribution
is based upon on a set of true economic mechanisms, or 'strategies'
which guarantee efficiency and
sustainability in every area of the economy.
So, continuing this train of thought regarding logical design -
what is next in our equation?
Where does all this materialize?
Cities.
The advent of the city is a defining feature of modern civilization.
Its role is to enable efficient access to the necessities of life
along with increased social support and community interaction.
So how would we go about designing an ideal city?
Square? Trapezoid?
Well, given we are going to be moving around the thing
we might as well make it as equidistant as possible for ease...
hence the circle.
What should the city contain?
Well, naturally we need a residential area, a goods production area
a power generation area; an agricultural area.
But we also need nurturing as human beings - hence culture
nature, recreation and education.
So lets include a nice open park
an entertainment/events area for cultural purposes and socializing
and educational and research facilities.
And since we are working with a circle
it seems rational to place these functions in Belts
based on the amount of land required for each goal
along with ease of access.
Very good.
Now, let's get down to specifics:
First we need the consider the core
infrastructure or intestines of the city organism.
These would be the water, goods
waste and energy transport channels.
Just as we have water and sewage systems under our cities today
we would extend this channeling concept to
integrate waste recycling and delivery itself.
No more mailmen or garbage men.
It is built right in. We could even use
automated pneumatic tubes and similar technologies.
Same goes for transport.
It needs to be integrated and strategically designed to reduce
or even remove the need for wasteful, independent automobiles.
Electric trams, conveyors, transveyors and
maglevs which can take you virtually
anywhere in the city, even up and down
along with connecting you to other cities as well.
And of course, in the event a car is required
it is automated by satellite for safety and integrity.
In fact, this automation technology is in working order right now.
Automobile accidents kill about 1.2 million people every single year;
injuring about 50 million.
This is absurd and doesn't have to occur.
Between efficient city design and automated, driverless cars
this death toll can be virtually eliminated.
Agriculture.
Today, through our haphazard, cost-cutting industrial methods
using pesticides, excessive fertilizers and other means
we have successfully destroyed much
of the the arable land on this planet
not to mention also extensively poisoning our bodies.
In fact, industrial and agricultural chemical toxins
now show up in virtually every human being tested, including infants.
