Economic theorist and author Jeremy Rifkin explains his concept of The Internet of Things. The energy Internet is very, very new. It’s now actually being built out in places like Germany, in Denmark and across Europe so it’s no longer academic.

This too will pass, someday maybe.
Maybe it will linger with us until we go extinct as a species and no longer are able to live in the world.
If this continues on, it will mean the end of the fossil fuel giants, their unholy hold on our systems of governance and the pollution that they cause to our social and ecological environment.
This is why/how states such as Oklahoma, who are now completely under the sway of these companies explicitly through the Republican Party (rather than implicitly under the current Democratic Party) are raising taxes on the implementation of small scale electricity production. The conservative mindset seeks only to control and command from the top down, while the true progressive mindset wants the world to do well, however that may be in each given society and social/environmental condition. They seek conformity and adherence to their written rules while progressives seek natural law and adherence to the laws of cause and effect.
Unfortunately, we will not be rid of the conservatives, just because they're falling out of political favor within the context of their own societies and their own political factions. These actual demons who live amongst us will not be gone until we cease to reproduce their brain types and start treating it as a mental illness than as a genuinely healthy condition. It is time that we start defining mental illness as that which actually causes harm to the society and to the individual through harming the society and the environment rather than as that which can irritate some people in places of social authority.
It is time that we all take our country, our society and our world back from those who would harm it for a little or a lot of small self "gain", the truly mentally ill people of the world.
Think about it. |
