You're losing you, poem by asalis Rewritten and reworded

I can see it in your eyes, there're wild animals in your mind, look like many, herds,  escorting your thoughts. How did you let them in, big mind you must have, with huge eyes, wide open, and from the roses you like,  thorns prick your fingers, and your face's pictures show it, you're hurt,  but smiling.   The gathering of the herds. Where the.... others showed up? One word one lion ? One stabbing one wolf ? Feels like jungle, go hunting,  chase the wild with the risky. You never stay in one place,  but you carry them with you, seems to feel like  being in their place, always away from a home,  in your home. You read a little of a book standing, eat laid and sleep seated waiting for the light,  when the mornings do the same too. You don't like the mornings  when still searching for their light. Why you're searching all the time without looking for something, thoughts are powering you, natural ener...

I said I will not talk with you anymore, even when you speak to me and I answer, still I don’t talk with you.

3-4 years ago I found on the web 25 Watt thermoelectric devices for $25, requiring 50 degrees C  difference between cold and hot sides and a 5% efficiency (?). For the moment, let's not examine the specifics of currents and volts and accept that a watt is a watt, is a watt and is always a watt and so 40 of them make a 1kW power battery, that's the power required by a middle of the range home air-conditioning unit. For the 50 degrees C  difference, earth's temperature can be used, which all year round is 15 degrees C at about 5 meters depth and the temperature inside a steel box under the sun, which easily can reach 65 degrees C in summer. That's not enough though, because we have to satisfy the energy requirements for the hot side to maintain its temperature in the steel box, and supply 1/0.05=20 kW, that's, rounded up, 20 m2 of sun's energy, that must be concentrated on the steel box through mirrors. Isn't this worth investigation for its application. Isn...

🔊         By all means, this treatise of the highly demanding subject will not be complete, if not for anything    else, but for the reason that will include personal only suggestions, opinions and critic. ~ ~~ ~~ ~ We're what we produce , as individuals, but primarily as societies, and we produce only what we know how. Our wellbeing depends on what we have in our disposal to live a fulfilling life and it's marked irreversibly by what we don't, especially in health care. Any one who believes this as being the absolute truth, must believe in education, you can't produce in our era what makes life better without education. The personal interest of the people to educate themselves will not change, although it's obvious and will become more obvious, that from now on to participate in the economic life that leads to good life you need education above and beyond high school.  It's science and technology that set the bar high and studying and ...

I'm sorry I have to reposted, I had to rework it for better meaning continuity and flow of speech. Time pulls life by its hand and she's gliding along, to see, to sense to enjoy, proliferates with pride, but..... it's waning too, breadth after breadth spent. Doesn't know, time doesn't tell her it's being ebb away, cheats on young life's careless richness, don't t feel time an enemy. Young minds don't know what's thirty, forty,fifty years, they go along, they have plenty to spend. As life is waning, lessens, feels lighter, and counts her breadths fewer. Humbled then, pulls her hand, but the grasp is tight, it's late. Time, is dragging her now, time and life are one, it's nature's destiny. The mountains and the seas, the sun and the stars sent time away, life didn't learn it, nor did curing wane. Nature faulted on life, created her bittersweet. Thieves, time and demising death, you're stealin...

Eee-nergyyyyyyyy Ee-nergyyyyyyyy Here we have good energy......... ` `` ``` Although piezoelectric materials are producing little energy and they're rather expensive, I wish I could put them in a tank with a screw-hole outfit, that water/air-proofs the tank 100%, and immerse it to certain depth in the sea. Depending on how little energy is required to tie in and untie the screw, to change the hydrostatic pressure in the tank, one must wonder if there will be any useful energy left from the energy produced by the piezoelectric materials. ` ` 🔵 Even if the hydrostatic pressure will not go down to zero with the screw tied in, still the pressure will fluctuate enough, with ripples of pressure to spread through the tank while the hole will be closing and opening and thus the required change in pressure will be created.

POINT BY POINT CREATION OF SIMULATIONS AT THE AGE OT THE REIGNING COMPUTER, ELABORATE AND LENGTHY NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS ARE POSSIBLE IF THERE ARE SOUND THEORETICALLY DERIVED EQUATIONS TO WORK WITH, AS WE HAVE FOR EXAMPLE THE NAVIER-STOKES PARTIAL DEFERENTIAL EQUATIONS IN FLUID MECHANICS, THE NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS ARE USEFULL FOR QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF FLOWS. IN ATOMIC THEORY AND QUANTUM MECHANICS THE DESCRIPTIONS ARE ABOUT WHAT ONE   CAN NOT   DO OR FIND, NOT WHAT   CAN   DO OR FIND.   IT'S PROHIBITED TO ASK WHERE AN ELECTRON IS OR WAS IN ATOMS AND MOLECULES YOU CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT THE PROBABILITY OF FINDING AN ELECTRON IN A CERTAIN VOLUME IN SPACE.  TO FIND WHAT IT'S  NEEDED: HOW ELEMENTS HAVE SHAPED THEIR PREFERENCES (THEIR ATOMIC STRUCTURE) TO FORM BONDS WITH SOME BUT NOT OTHER ELEMEMENTS, SCIENTISTS USE TRIAL AND ERROR METHODS. (OFF COURSE WE ARE HAPPY FOR WHAT THEY AND THE ENGINEERS HAVE CREATED AND WE ARE OBLIGED TO THEM. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY H...

They say middle class is shrinking or even disappearing and some are happy. Are they stupid or are they stupid. Although it's very difficult to be true, it's fun to answer.  The poor man's children unfortunately don't have the opportunities to develop, they mostly stay away from education, the sciences, the arts, occupied by the thoughts of survival, they must earn their living from their very early years.   The rich man's children don't pursue the educational development because of their interests. Primarily they prepare themselves to manage their inheritance. At the most they study management or liberal arts, they stay away from hard core, demanding majors like engineering, medicine and the sciences. The middle class provides the necessary and the safe and secure environment for the children to continue their development in education, the sciences, the arts all these that are necessary for progress and contribute to what is called civilization.  That...

Excelent idea but partially applicable. What's better and we really need, is the DOOR to DOOR, MECHANICAL EQUIVALENT OF THE INTERNET IN TRANSPORTATION, to change the world and our lives as much as the magical INTERNET did. It is feasible. An architecturally friendly to the environment system of posts and cables (or even rails) going through EVERY STREET will be required, for pollution free electromechanically driven carts to slide. A conceptually new, really big forward step in the movement of people and goods, of the caliper of the INTERNET

INTERDEPENDENCE PRINCIPLE and GOLDEN RATIO vs SUPPLY and DEMAND PRINCIPLE Beautiful numbers of economic value that prove some points of humanitarian value, and also prove the actuality of easily doubling income for the people at the bottom 50%. Observations on the Income Data Reported. The top 10% reported a total of 4,143 trillion in income and paid 860 billion in taxes, for a net of 3,300 trillion, and the bottom 50%, 1.038 trillion in income and paid almost no taxes. So if 1/4 of the gross income (or 1/3 of the net income) of the top 10% was magically transferred to the bottom 50% IT WOULD'VE DOUBLED THEIR INCOME. We're taking DOUBLE, it's not some 10-20-50%, IT WOULD'VE DOUBLED THEIR INCOME. An EXCESS, the excess 1/4 gross income of the top 10%, that ends up to them because they keep for themselves, in my humble opinion, more than they should and deserve, using as measure for the distribution of wealth produced, consciously or unconsciously, the famous "p...

Beautiful numbers of economic value that  prove some points of humanitarian value. In one of the great and magnificent countries, in a recent year, all taxpayers reported earnings of  9 trillions.   (in adjusted gross income, no matter what actually is, IT WON'T CHANGE THE ESSENCE OF THE CONCLUSIONS TO BE DRAWN) If one declares without proof that EVERY PERSON on its soil must have a MINIMUM income of 1000 per month , about 100 kg or 220 lbs of mean quality red meat (that is 3 member household 3000, 4 member, 4000 etc) it will add up to about 4 trillions , which is less than half the total of 9 trillions. So 5 trillions will be 'available' to be distributed, in the rather usual established manner, to those that now have high and very high income. But, but, but, they also must keep producing the same way they did though, in other words the total production of goods and services, especially goods, mustn't be lower due to this 'redistribution'. An illu...

One of the most irritating social interests is what political practices will be in effect, in 90% of the countries for a great majority of its people. Some want it on the left and some on the right or center, others call their preference conservative, liberal, republican or democratic and some want communism, facism or socialism. Each of these groups await for their moment of (their) truth to find the opportunity to do things the way they prefer, according to their planned policies, temporarily, because if they don't lose the next elections they'll lose the ones after the next. Some times they achieve their goal, following revolutionary military methods, but they also, usually are overthrown by others using the same practices, it's mostly a matter of time. Happy as they are, they say "now we govern" and also most of the time "the others must not talk". The others though talk and  try to demolish them, right after they take the posts.   Why the l...

Observing the social acts of the general population and government practices is of paramount importance for drawing conclusions on the social and humanitarian status of each country. A world army of social observers could do this, ONLY observe and report to the parent organization, at the minimal cost of a couple of dollars/euros per person.                More or less the population density is about  1000 people per square kilometer (0.4 of a square mile), so an observer will be aware of almost everything happening at distances of 500 meters or less if one observer was placed on each square kilometer.                 So then the world army of social observers must be comprised of 1/000th the world's population, recruited from EVERY country at 1/1000th its population, off course. They must be distributed on each country at 1/1000th of its population but composed of observers from each an...

Through salaries the produced wealth is distributed to the people, and salaries are set by the economic principle of supply and demand too, like prices. ANOTHER STRONGER , HUMANLY NATURAL PRINCIPLE IS THAT NO ONE CAN PRODUCE AS MUCH BY HIMSELF AS CAN WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OTHERS.    employers & employees   EMPLOYERS OWE TO EMPLOYEES AS MUCH AS EMPLOYEES OWE TO THEM FOR THEIR INITIATIVES ON ECONOMIC ENDEAVORS THAT PRODUCE WEALTH . So, really, employers's  part of the produced wealth is what would have produced by themselves, if didn't have assistance, and from the rest they can keep a percentage, say 10-20-30%, for currying more and higher responsibilities and executive guidance. EMPLOYERS KEEP FOR THEMSELVES MORE MAYBE A LOT MORE THAN THEY DESERVE  

4-5 YEARS AGO I WAS THINKING AND SAYING THAT IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR HUMANITY TO CHANGE COURSE, REALLY CHANGE COURSE, BECAUSE ITS POLITICAL SIDE IS STILL A LONG DISTANCE BEHIND ITS SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL, WHICH HAS GIVEN THE HUMAN BEING EVERYTHING IT HAS TO LIVE INFINITE TIMES BETTER THAN BEFORE THE ADVENT OF TECHNOLOGY. THEY EVEN LED HUMANITY OUTSIDE THE EARTHLY ENVIRONMENT WHILE THE POLITICAL SIDE IS JUST OUTSIDE THE CAVES. MOST PROBABLY IF IT WAS NOT FOR TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE LABOR LESS IMPORTANT FOR THE PRODUCTION, THE ARMIES OF THE WORLD WOULD HAVE DEPRIVED THE PEOPLE FROM THE LIBERTIES THAT ENJOY NOW, SO THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE WAR AFTER THE OTHER TO KILL OR CAPTURE. NOW EVERYTHING IS PRODUCED A LOT EASIER AND AMONG THEM FOOD AND CLOTHING. THE HUMAN BEING DESERVES TO HAVE ITS B A S I C N U T R I T I O N A L N E E D S AND C L O T H I N G SATISFIED FOR FREE, BUT WHEN WE SAY BASIC WE REALLY MEAN IT, SO IT WILL BE EAGER TO WORK FOR THE BETTER ONES IN ADDITION OFF COURSE TO A...

Who says that the human being must be left to live in misery, even those who are not as capable, in our technological era of extremely easy production methods of goods and services. I needed to set my goal, its fulfilling, NO PERSON must have MONTHLY income of less than the equivalent of 100 kg (220 lbs) of mean quality red meat per month by 2030. (In all 70 top countries, and from there on, for the rest.) ================================================================= How would you feel if you didn't want to, but your home country moved to another continent because the proponents won the referendum with 51% vs 49% ? This "dramatic" case was purposely chosen to underline the schizophrenic attitude of some to take major decisions when half the people want something and the other half don't. It's against social coherence, the half that "loses" most of the times has the means to sabotage the other half that "wins...
