http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_slime In March 2012, an ABC News series about "pink slime" included claims that approximately 70 percent of ground beef sold in U.S. supermarkets contained the additive at that time, after which some companies and organizations stopped offering ground beef with the product. "Pink slime" was claimed by some originally to have been used as pet food and cooking oil and later approved for public consumption,[9] but this was disputed in April 2012, by both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) administrator responsible for approving the product and Beef Products, Inc. (BPI), the largest U.S. producer.[10][11] In September 2012 BPI filed a lawsuit against American Broadcasting Company for false claims.[12] I'd be careful what you post about it now, it looks like the lawyers have nothing better to do than bankrupt and collect. |

@Sarge (et al): Just to explain my now oddly out of place post, the person's name that prompted it has changed, so it may be disregarded. :^) I totally got it. :) Gary, see the link? Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

I have mixed feelings about whether I want to watch the entire one hour and fifteen minutes of that video. Is it worth the time? Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

OK, I watched it last night, and have been thinking about it since then. Initial thoughts: Looks like something out of Star Trek. I'll get back to this in a few. Next something occurred to me. They even cautioned in the video that some would think of this, and dismissed them as only "being afraid of something new...". However, it is NOT new. Two of the several things the guy advocates as *necessary* are: 1. Abolition of private property (resources held in common for all humanity). And 2. Centrally planned economy. Sound familiar? It should... It is a tech-ed up version of Communism. Communism has NEVER worked. A little something gets in the way... Something that he denies the existence of. Human Nature. He makes a big thing in the video about how the concept of territory (hence property) (both individual and group) is culturally learned. To refute, might I point out the large number of other animals on this planet that have either an individual (solitary animals such as bears, tigers, cougars) or a group (social animals such as monkeys/apes, lions and wolves) concept of 'territory'. These animals will do a kind of 'war' on their territorial rivals. Granted, the concept is more highly developed in humans, primarily due to our capacity for abstract reason, but there is definitely a biological origin for the concept that predates humanity, unless of course, you believe that somehow all the animals somehow 'learned' it from humans even way back several million years ago when there were no humans yet... Ever been a parent? All too frequently, one of the initial concepts a toddler expresses is that of 'MINE!!!'. No, sorry, territoriality is not a learned, cultural behavior. I strongly disagree with this point of his. Also, he alludes to the root cause of the problem, but does not actually state he is going to solve it. The root cause, the proverbial "gorilla in the corner"? The sheer size of human population. All about 7 billion of us... He mentions an example of 10 people on a large island, somewhat of a Garden of Eden paradise in his refutation of the need for money. Exactly... A very LOW population, with all their basic needs met. He mentions 8000 acres per person. Now then, there are 36,800,000,000 acres of land on the Earth's surface. Obivously not ALL of that is 'paradise'. Divide through by the about 7 billion current human population and that leaves about 5.5 acres per person. A FAR cry from his figure of 8000 / person. Even assuming, somehow, that technology can somehow make everywhere on land into a habitable paradise, his figure of 8000 acres per person would mean a max human population of 4,600,000. Yes, that is Four Million, Six Hundred Thousand. Maximum. Hmm... Over 99.9% of the people alive today are gonna have to croak-it for his math to work out. Remember, I mentioned Star Trek? Well, in the show, the Earth DID develop what this guy calls a 'Resource based economy'... AFTER a population crash caused by nuclear war in World War III (somewhere around the earth year 2050, if memory serves).. Also, when they mention population of planets, FREQUENTLY they are in the hundreds of thousands to low millions... He mentions that the planet has a capacity for 'self-repair' and to be sustainable we would have to cause an amount of environmental damage per year that is LESS than the planet's capacity to repair it per year. Undoubtedly how he arrived at his 8000 acres/person figure. About the most interesting thing in his video (to me at any rate) is his concepts on city design. But then those concepts are not really very new. When I first saw, in the video, his pet city layout, the first thing I thought of was the description of the mythical city of Atlantis back in Ancient Greek writings... Nope, 'project venus', while it has some good observations of some of our problems, is and will remain a utopian pipe dream. It won't work. Edit: Quick! Lets save the planet!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlSQAZEp3PA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdytOGnUFoI |

Kong, this is patently breaking the rules. We do not follow the links of those who will not follow ours, let alone when no description or thoughts of one's own on the link were shared. Besides, from your description, this has absolutely nothing do with the planet Venus nor the mythical goddess Venus. I call that bait and switch. Let the market sort it out and do not click the links. :) Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |
