Solar Energy Making Huge Advances Among Peasants Not On India's Grid

http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2015/02/solar-energy-making-lots-of-headway.html

Dear REM,

Thanks for your email.

I'm not sure what Ron hopes for.

He seems to think that ongoing 9/11 investigation will somehow hone people's sense of "how the system is rigged" and then they'll be more effective at un-rigging it.

Why not just assume it's already rigged and do the best we can to apply pressure on behalf of wealth redistribution and the social-educational-cultural benefits that come in tow.

I don't say this with even a lick of the envy right-wingers impute. 

I say it because societies in which wealth is widely distributed are happier and healthier and enjoy greater prosperity for everyone, thus enabling more people to exit the survival treadmill and start playing with their creative genius.

Inequality: Joseph Stiglitz Brilliant Reflection On Obama's State Of The Union Address

Of surpassing interest to me is what will happen to "human consciousness" when we "pull the plug" in 25 years and big utilities are no longer needed by the expanding "creative class."

Of similar importance to the transformation of consciousness is what happens when big utilities no longer serve as paradigmatic agents of centralizing capitalism and "everything" radically decentralizes.

My hope is that radical decentralization will result in radical democratization.

I envision a renaissance of The Renaissance with the emergence of federated "city states" each specializing in its own unique collaborative genius, a genius rooted in the local soil and climate; a genius that expresses itself in wine-making, beer-making, music-making, top-notch local theater, the culinary arts and all manner of craftsmanship and "small startups" whose products arise from local independence and interdependence.

And because solar energy will become ever more efficient -- evolving by its own variation of "Moore's Law" -- what will happen in another 25 years when energy (and, by extension, water desalinization) are as cheap as sunlight?

We are approaching escape velocity.

Paz contigo

Dear REM,

Thanks for forwarding T's reply.

For people who do not succumb to the cult quality of 9/11 Truth, I think he makes some good points.

However, I am disproportionately influenced by my once-upon-a-time good friend who is absorbed in such a way that 9/11 is not just part of his life, it's his whole life.

And within Ron's "new" life, he just doesn't have time for people who are not as absorbed as he is.

His involvement is totally obsessional, completely lacking (as I see it) in perspective and proportion.

Paz contigo

Hi T

Indeed, quite a palatable response!  I'm not sure WHICH is a greater stressor/depressor:  Alan's recognition of ferreting out all that's behind 9-11 as diversionary from bigger threats (global warming, etc) or your view of the intimidation behind recognition of the monstrosity of overwhelming forces to be confronted on whichever front we might choose (glob. warm., etc)......

REM,

Thanks. I tend to agree with Alan, which is why I haven't become more involved in 9-11 truth. Yes, if Americans learned the truth about 9-11, there would be a revolution. But what kind of revolution? And why should we become enraged by learning that forces within our own government killed some 3000 Americans on 9-11, when almost daily we hear horror stories about US human rights abuses abroad, and we (American public) hardly blink?  Exposing the truth about 9-11 is actually relatively easy to do, as the facts are voluminous, but it is our culture and values that we need to change, not just our government. And it's unclear how 9-11 truth can accomplish that.

But I do disagree somewhat with Alan's perspective that 9-11 is a diversion that takes our eyes off the prize:

"What I have witnessed generally -- and what I have witnessed specifically in the life of one very good friend totally absorbed by 9/11 Truth these last dozen years -- is that 9/11 is a kind of "ideological diversionism" that distracts its devotees from much larger, demonstrably real issues, issues that are subject to real improvement through political action."

To the contrary, 9-11 truth can lead to an entirely new paradigm change, and reveal fundamental truths about reality, including political realities. I went into 9-11 truth looking to find out who did it and why. After finding those answers, my next task was to find out why and how 9-11 was being covered up. In searching for that answer, it revealed other, cosmological explanations behind 9-11, and the grand, ancient conspiracy of which it was a part. And the research continues, and I learn a bit more almost every day. Not about 9-11 necessarily, but about our reality, our past and possibly our future. So, as long as one doesn't stop looking for truth once they're convinced they know who did it and why, 9-11 truth can act as a springboard for ongoing enlightenment.

Yet, while 9-11 can actually point to larger, real issues instead of obscuring them, it can leave one asking how can one be effective when the entire system is rigged. So yes, it can be overwhelming and lead to inaction. But it also can make us smarter about how we view the political world, and how we can best spend or waste our time and energy. It is however helpful to understand that anything positive we may want to do (fight GMOs, end war, improve education, support alternative energy, protect nature, promote human rights,...) we will be battling against the same ruling cabal behind 9-11. And if we can't expose 9-11, what are the odds we'll be successful in challenging them on these various fronts?  Just something to keep in mind.

Dear J,

Thanks for your emails.

I have come to think of 9/11 Truthers as political pornographers.

I am not saying Truthers are certainly wrong, although my working hypothesis posits their fundamental error.

What I clearly see is that the 9/11 Truth Movement is sexy, titillating and tantalizing without any possible outcome that is fruitful -- at least not fruitful when contextualized.

In the 13th century, Thomas Aquinas pointed out that "sin" (from the testamental Greek, "hamartia," referring to a marksman missing the target) is always accompanied by loss of perspective-and-proportion.

My bottom line is this: The Horror that Uncle Sam has visited on Vietnam, Iraq, all across the Middle East and around the world --- even on her own mean streets --- reduces any conceivable 9/11 Truth claim to relative insignificance.

Yes, Uncle Sam is a motherfucking cocksucker.

What else is new?

What benefit will arise from the interminable task of trying to prove "9-11 Truth" when we cannot convince Joe D___F___ Gringo that global warming is real?

What I have witnessed generally -- and what I have witnessed specifically in the life of one very good friend totally absorbed by 9/11 Truth these last dozen years -- is that 9/11 is a kind of "ideological diversionism" that distracts its devotees from much larger, demonstrably real issues, issues that are subject to real improvement through political action.

I even contemplate a scenario in which the distraction of 9/11 is a right-wing plot to induce fruitless intellectual masturbation rather than the kind of real political love-making whose ripple effect would -- in the absence of this pornographic diversion -- be immeasurably more beneficial.

Retired Air Force general friend, Arthur C -- a self-described "in your face liberal" -- says he can concoct any number of scenarios whereby Washington would want to spread 9/11 disinformation to make it look like The Twin Towers was an inside job.

Which at least raises the question: Exactly "who" is the puppet strung from The Twin Towers?

There is also this unbudgeable practicality.

I cannot imagine why any terrorist organization (whether implicated in a 9/11 "false flag plot" or not) wouldn't have devised a similar horror in the intervening 15 years.

Had there been a follow-up attack just one third as devastating as 9/11, gringos would have thrown themselves wholeheartedly into full-bore fascism so that America as the "last, best hope of earth" (or however you would like to phrase what is most admirable in The American Experiment)  would have come to an abrupt halt and probably a definitive end.

Why -- except for incompetence or stupidity -- are terrorists waiting to put the final nail in America's coffin? 

Consider two scenarios.

95% of American train stations are unmanned. Simply buy your ticket, place a "suitcase time bomb" in the overhead bin, exit at the next stop and BOOM! 

Coordinate the "timing" of this explosion with 50 to 100 other terrorists getting on trains (at unmanned stations) all over the country and JESUS F______ CHRIST! 

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

An analogous sort of coordinated attack could be perped at 50 to 100 American hospitals which, as you know, are the "softest" targets in existence.

Why hasn't this happened?

PS You are, of course, free to do what you will with this information. Personally, I think it's a good idea not to broadcast these possibilities for fear of making them realities.
