An idea to help save the world : Comments

By Nicholas Maxwell, published 4/10/2017

But then it dawned on me that Popper had failed to solve his fundamental problem - the problem of understanding how science makes progress.

" What's the use of wishing to control the earth, the moon and the stars, when we cannot or would-not even control our own semen?"
This is Australian Realism measuring the experiment scientifically and observing a planet Earth cancer of Jong-iun consciousness. The experiment terminates in a Thorium exponential over-supply.

<<An idea to help save the world>>

I put a question mark to that, in the context that in most people's lifetime on this page such an aim is simply not achievable and the human population should not be forced to accept any author's direction.

The best option is for one to go in their own direction. So science should not be the only pathway, to push others down.

The best advice I provide to others, is to take the view, that they as individuals, have the power to change the world, not fix it, and with the right mindset as an individual they can make a difference.

Many today, in Australia, do not allow time for reflection and such a practice is avoided. As a result many people's lives day in and day out simply remain the same.

One thing I do promote to encourage thought, is to attend film festivals. Many people attend a cinema, sit down and watch something but in my view waste time, seeing films that can be very bland or commercialised.

One film I saw yesterday at the Adelaide Film Festival was called "From Under the Rubble" https://vimeo.com/132212314 . It is very descriptive of those living in Gaza and what they are facing, particularly children.

I didn't really get to understand the situation enough for people living in Gaza before, who were innocent civilians caught in a situation they did not want or ever ask for.

Coming out of the film, with a mix range of feelings and thoughts, including sadness, hope and maybe a positive future for people living in Gaza, I decided to write to the Federal Government for the first time, expressing a need for change and for Australia to take a stronger position on this matter. Finally, encourage people to find some way to reflect and think and consider change, as humans we only have one life on planet earth to live.
