What about privacy? What about our future?
What privacy? We know that our government agencies have access to our deepest,
darkest secrets we boldly share with friends confidentially through phone calls
or email. We know that facebook can take our information we stupidly post on
their site and link us to just about any revenue-generating cause they like,
according to their privacy and use policies. And we know that the google cars
that troll around communities taking photos also grab cell phone conversations
in the surrounding area. They’ve moved beyond that with google glass so they
don’t have to pay anyone to collect our private data (a few restaurants and bars
are banning google glass.) So where is this going?
Is our privacy, our mental health and physical health the property of our
government and corporations that run it? Currently we are bombarded with
unhealthy emf radiation, exposed to cell towers, cell phones, home networks and
the smart meters, all while it was announced that cancer has moved into the rank
of #1 killer. Do you think our electronics and food may be playing a part? Most
of these technologies are not opt-out, but are required.
It is easy to see why civilizations rise and fall. Some may die out as the
result of catastrophes of nature. Others kill themselves off with their own
inventions. We’re ranked as a type 0 civilization and our future is not
certain.
In the words of famous physicst Michio Kaku, “Type I civilization is a truly
planetary one, which has mastered most forms of planetary energy. Their energy
output may be on the order of thousands to millions of times our current
planetary output. By definition, an advanced civilization must grow faster than
the frequency of life-threatening catastrophes. Since large meteor and comet
impacts take place once every few thousand years, a Type I civilization must
master space travel to deflect space debris within that time frame, which should
not be much of a problem. Ice ages may take place on a time scale of tens of
thousands of years, so a Type I civilization must learn to modify the weather
within that time frame.”
He continues: “Artificial and internal catastrophes must also be negotiated. But
the problem of global pollution is only a mortal threat for a Type 0
civilization; a Type I civilization has lived for several millennia as a
planetary civilization, necessarily achieving ecological planetary balance.
Internal problems like wars do pose a serious recurring threat, but they have
thousands of years in which to solve racial, national, and sectarian conflicts.”
