I'm in favor of Genetic Engineering of Humans. Let's Design Better People... I believe that we need smarter humans to solve the problems we have created... Global Warming will not be solved by the same thinking that created the Industrial Revolution.

At Humboldt State University I took a class in Ecology. We would read a book or an article and have group discussions about it. We read ENOUGH! by Bill McKibben and that book opened up the subject of ACTUAL Intelligent Design of Humans... and Animals... and Plants...

ALL the other students were against genetic engineering of People... Their main objection was that it would be Racist... People would choose Blond Hair, Blue Eyes and White Skin... OR Redheads...

Others feared Frankenstein Monsters that would cause problems... For Example: What IF they don't like us and decide to exterminate all currently living people to be replace by super humans...

a Reader on Facebook Asked: "Who would Decide What is Better?" Practically Speaking, The People Who Actually DO Genetic Engineering Will Make That Decision... Some People Invent Great Technological Advances... Life Saving Medicine or Computers Or Rocket Ships to the Moon... Other People Learn How to Put a Basketball in a Basket... The Basketball Players Will Have No Say in Who Gets Genetically Engineered Children...

Great Book: "Breaking and Entering: The Extraordinary Story of a Hacker Called Alien" by Jeremy Smith about Hacking and The Biography of a Mom who owns a cyber security business...

https://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Entering-Extraordinary-Hacker-Called/dp/0544903218

and an Interview On Pirate Television:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gjwUQ_7ABU&feature=youtu.be

This taut, true thriller dives into a dark world that touches us all, as seen through the brilliant, breakneck career of an extraordinary hacker—a woman known only as Alien.

When she arrived at MIT in the 1990s, Alien was quickly drawn to the school’s tradition of high‑risk physical trespassing: the original “hacking.” Within a year, one of her hallmates was dead and two others were arraigned. Alien’s adventures were only just beginning.

After a stint at the storied, secretive Los Alamos National Laboratory, Alien was recruited by a top cybersecurity firm where she deployed her cache of virtual weapons—and the trespassing and social engineering talents she had developed while “hacking” at MIT. The company tested its clients’ security by every means possible—not just coding, but donning disguises and sneaking past guards and secretaries into the C‑suite.

Alien now runs a boutique hacking outfit that caters to some of the world’s biggest and most vulnerable institutions—banks, retailers, government agencies. Her work combines devilish charm, old‑school deception, and next generation spycraft. In Breaking and Entering, cybersecurity finally gets the rich, character‑driven, fast-paced treatment it deserves.

"Water, Water All Around But Not a Drop to Drink." NO LONGER TRUE! Dramatic Engineering Improvements of Solar Powered Desalinization Plants have made turning Seawater into Drinking Water in VAST Quantities a Reality.

Useful for Watering Plants, Livestock, Taking Showers, Filling Swimming Pools, Lawns and Making Ice Cubes for your "Scotch on the Rocks" Beverage.

Desalinization is The WAVE of the Future. For Example: We could build a GIANT freshwater plant in Camp Pendelton, USMC between San Diego and Los Angeles. Then Grow Square Miles of HEMP that absorbs Carbon Dioxide from the Air. Hemp is VERY EFFICIENT for Removing Greenhouse Gasses as it Grows Really Fast in Comparison to Trees. The hemp could then be sold to make FIBERBOARD useful in building Houses... or Medicine... or Rope... or Canvas... or Clothes... or Soap... or Paper... HEMP FOR VICTORY! It is possible to make HEMP PAPER Cartons for packaging FOOD at the Grocery Store. Currently we use plastic cartons to store single meal portions of Cheese, Fruit, Nuts, Yogurt and Crackers... Causing Vast Plastic Disposal Problems. It all just ends up in the Landfill...or on the street... or in the Ocean... ALL OF THAT could be replaced with HEMP. I recommend that "We the People" start behaving smart. Making single use plastic containers ONLY BENEFITS OIL COMPANIES. No one else. Plastic is made from OIL. Dupont invented it and is making a "Killing" on their idea... Of Course, their Idea is Killing the planet... BUT, WhatEVER... As Long as the Rich get Richer there is NO NEED to worry about Behaving MORALLY. The 1% is Making a Profit on OIL and PLASTIC and according to an insider report leaked to the press, They Don't Care About You. Really! Global Warming is NO Problem because all anyone has to Do is TURN UP THE AIR CONDITIONER... and The World Is Cool... and Smells Wonderful if you use an Air Freshener... and if the PEASANTS are Choking on Polluted Air, drinking Polluted Water and Dying from HEAT... Well, to Quote Marie Antoinette: "Madame, the Peasants Have no Bread To Eat... Well, Let them Eat Cake!" - and then they got out the Guillotine... I really loved that Movie "The Scarlet Pimpernel" - Quote: "They Seek Him Here, They Seek Him There, Those Frenches Seek Him Everywhere... Be He in Heaven or Be He in (harumpf) That Damn Elusive Pimpernel!" - It was all about Smuggling Aristocrats Out of France to Safety... The Peasants Were Revolting... AND IT'S ABOUT TIME!

There has been a LOT of Groundbreaking Engineering into building Desalinization Plants that use Solar Power to Pump the Seawater out of the Ocean...

The big breakthru in Solar Desalinization is to use MEMBRANE purification and Pump the Water using Electricity generated by Solar Cells. Everyone is familiar with Membrane water purification because there is a Machine out on the Sidewalk in front of the Grocery Store that sells Gallons of Freshwater. Bring your own 5 Gallon Container and Fill it UP! We have obvious technology to Build Desalinization Plants All over the World to Water Crops. By definition, the Ocean is at a Lower Elevation than the Land... and so there is a big need for pumping saltwater uphill to the Farm.

NETAFIM Corporation is designing Water systems for Israel so they can grow more food using Less Water. Including Prickly Pear Cactus... Who Knew that there was a market for Prickly Pears... I tried to eat one when I was Camping Out near La Jolla and Gave up because it was just to difficult to pull out the Spikes... However, they have a Machine that does that Job.

Let's Close All Nuclear Power Plants. It's an Obviously Failed Technology... It's Super Expensive to Decommission... $9.2 Billion to Clean up SONGS and Diablo Canyon in California...

It Creates Atomic Waste that Remains Radioactive and Dangerous for Thousands of Years... AND... the Waste Has to Be GUARDED to Prevent Terrorists from Stealing It and Building a "Dirty Bomb." GO SOLAR, Wind, Hydro or BIOMASS... Imagine if all the People Employed in Nuclear Power GOT REAL JOBS WHERE THEY MADE WONDERFUL THINGS! Nuclear is a HUGE WASTE of Engineering Talent. Remember: The Best Place for a Fusion Reactor is 93 Million Miles From My Back Yard. https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2018/05/open-letter-to-our-elected.html

I Sure Hope You Don't Buy Electricity from PG&E or SoCal Edison. You Have to Pay $9.2 Billion to Clean Up Their Failed Nukes...

The costs for the dismantlement of SONGS (San Onofre) will come from $4.4 billion in existing decommissioning trust funds. The money has been collected from the plant’s customers and invested in dedicated trusts. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/energy-green/story/2020-01-26/the-eight-year-project-to-dismantle-the-san-onofre-nuclear-plant-is-about-to-begin

PG&E Diablo Canyon: Estimates a total decommissioning cost of $4.8 billion, some $700 million higher than the estimate made in its 2015 in its Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Triennial Proceeding (NDCTP) document. https://analysis.nuclearenergyinsider.com/pge-seeks-decommissioning-head-start-cost-estimates-rise

During my time at Analytics I ran my own business for one year as a consultant.

I was working for a Job-Shop and I got paid seven dollars an hour but the shop charged the company ten dollars an hour. I made an arrangement with the company to pay me the entire ten dollars and hour by billing them directly. I had to pay my own Social Security payments, file quarterly income tax withholding and collect the money from the company. One month the company simply told me that I had to wait for my payment. They were having cash flow problems and owed money to INTEL and Me. They selected to pay INTEL. After running my own consulting business for a year I re-hired the job shop as they were entirely worth the $3 an hour. They were happy to re-hire me and said: "Oh, we knew you would be back. Everyone thinks they can do better as a consultant... Until they try it."

Then I got a job offer at a higher rate of pay from Pulse Engineering of College Park. A salesman that visited Analytics also did business with Pulse and he made the contact. I took the job and we did custom electronic design for the NSA (National Security Agency). This was in a building with no windows and I got a Secret Clearance to work there. We made many things but I had no idea what they were. I was only told enough information to do my job and no more. We had a Faraday Cage in the factory. A room with grounded metal mesh walls. That room prevented any radio waves from leaving the room. Our work had to pass TEMPEST testing. That was a DoD standard that required electronic equipment NOT broadcast radio waves. The basic idea was that the Russians could use a custom Radio Receiver to spy on equipment... and be able to read what was printed on a computer's display. One product that we made was an encrypted telephone in a briefcase. That allowed people to go to a remote location and talk securely with the home base. This was during the 1980's and President Reagan was spending a lot of money in a cold war with the Russians. Eventually, I got fired from that job for not showing up. I was smoking a lot of Hashish at that time and I had gone to a Grateful Dead concert in Philadelphia and failed to come home and go to work on time. The owners came over to my house, found out that I was safe and then fired me. Then I took a five month vacation. Driving around the East Coast of the USA.

The next job was in the Engineering department of the United States Postal Service. I was hired to lead a team of CAD draftsmen who were redrawing the pencil and paper drawings into a computer system. Our goal was to incorporate new changes to the design of a stamp vending machine. It took six people about a year to complete that task. We used the software system called CADAM. Later I found out that computer system was only used at the USPS and Lockheed. A more popular system called AUTOCAD was used everywhere else. When I wen looking for a job as a CADAM designer, no one was interested. I never worked as a draftsman again.

I played music at the USPS Christmas Party. Richard Verril played piano and I played Guitar. I had created a book with all the lyrics and chord changes of my favorite songs. I remember that we played "Light my Fire" by the Doors and Richard knew all the notes for the organ solo. I was really impressed. He had played in a band in High School and they played all the block parties in Philadelphia.

Eventually I got fired from that Job for showing up late to work. The office was in Virginia and I lived in Maryland so I had to cross the Woodrow Wilson Bridge over the Potomac. Traffic Jams were unpredictable and so I got fired. Then I took an eight month vacation. I spent that time playing original music in my home recording studio. Synthesizers, guitars and drum machine.
