A thought started, lost, restarted and not completed but published none the less.

I live in a privileged time and I mean that in a way where I don’t want me people to think of me as a skyte.  There is a lot that is currently happening in the world and I believe that we as a species live at a special time.

I utilise Twitter and LinkedIn as the two main choices of social media, and on both I see a world of endless possibilities that is reaching a point where at no other time do, we can bring about great change through intentional purpose and reasoning.

That time is only special because we are now reaching a potential level where we can not only modify our climate through the acts of negligence and intent, but we are able to undo and overcome those mistakes that have been made in the past and/or are currently being made.

I recently read an article in National Geographic that talked about the potential green revolution that the Netherlands has embarked upon.  They have set a precedent in agricultural production that surpasses any other nation.  More importantly they are not only willing to share this knowledge they actively develop other nations to help avoid starvation through their enhanced growing techniques.

The second point that I picked up on in various forms of social media is the growing development and optimisation of sustainable energy production.  Combing the Dutch food production and the sustainable power technology that has been growing in commercial success is not only good for our society.  The combination could be used for the important development of colonies on mars or the redevelopment of small towns.

Firstly, small towns.  Towns, not only in Australia but right across the world have been dying due to urbanisation and that urbanisation has more to do with jobs and opportunities than with people not wanting to live in towns.  Local governments could quite easily move into the business of power production using sustainably developed power.  Local businesses could be started as cooperatives that not only produce crops in the Dutch style but also utilise sustainable energy supplies to keep costs down, but potentially be net power exporters.

I started on this early but have not quite finished, but considering the amount of material that is coming up, I thought that I may as well publish it now instead of stuffing around and not getting anything done.
