INTRODUCTION : The opinions below are those of my own. They are not ment to hurt anybody, but because we all interpret sentences differently based on our diffrences in background, they will be missunderstood by a lot of people, and thus can cause neggative reactions by somebody. If you do react emotionaly or neggative to some of what I write, it is most likely because your interpretation is completly different from what I'm trying to say. Please keep this in mind when reading. Also I DO CHANGE OPINION from time to time, when faced with new information / experience or arguments. And I'm proud of being cabable of changing my opinion. But I'm also proud of keeping insisting in what I think is right. CONTENTS :
The Most Important Things Humanity Should Do : - Learn to understand how the climate on our planet work, thus enabeling us to predict and prevent long term instability and possibly the end of life on our planet as it is today. (I do however think that the end of humanity is fare more likely than the end of life on our planet). - Learn to manipulate the human gene in order to remove the capability of uncontrollable anger and hate from the human race. If we don't do that, and with the weapons we currently have, we sooner or later will destroy our self by warfare. The combination of humans having the nature of an animal and the technology of a civilized community is dangerous. And the only way we get out of this dangerous situation is by removing the primitive/animal qualities inherited from the animals (that we still actually are) that leads us into starting wars and fights without a good reason. Our ability to defend our selfs however is important to keep, as is all our other abilities as well I think. - Invent some new powerfull weapons without the long term neggative side effects of todays atomic weapons. We can not get rid of atomic weapons, they already exist ! But by making new and better atomic weapons, we can get rid of the long term radioactive effects of these weapons. I hope. (And maybe be capable of making "safe" atomic power plants as well). - We should spend much much more money on research, trying to come up with a safe and not poluting (most likely atomic) source of energy (this relates to the issues above). The problem is that is not profitable so it has to be financed by me and you (our governments). 19/4-00
The greatest threaths against mankinds continued existence are (I think) In prioritized order : - Asteroids (or rather : A asteroide. Though a very long term one). - Bacteria. Partly because they're becoming resistant, and partly because we are no longer many isolated tribes, but one large one (Air traffic increases, "everybody goes everywhere") - Nuclear warfare with extensive spreading of radioactivity. (This will for shure happen sooner or later, but I don't think the whole planet will participate). 25/4-00
