Toward Human Viability

As a human being, I recognize that I am part of a species that has yet to prove its viability as a productive member of nature. Problems like global hunger, violence addiction, drug addiction, global warming, war, and other destructive realities, can never be solved utilizing the tenets of politics or religion only. As shown consistently throughout history, problems are solved by the solution-based ideas and philosophies of a few individuals who operate independently of thought systems and groupthink; humans who want to understand, know, and respect the mysterious natural world that spawned us; humans who want to learn from, become creative with, build upon, and improve upon our daily lives as well, all through invention and discovery. Through thoughtful and critical scientific method and processes, these inquisitive individuals continually learn, create, and find ways for our species to be a part OF nature, not apart FROM nature. All aspects of our lives have been helped by the technologies and discoveries of these unique and talented members of our species. Throughout history, every time that we have allowed the renaissance of thought to flourish, we all won, and we saw "all boats rise". That must continue, especially now. The true success of solution-based thinking requires no belief, no hope or faith, but ONLY true consistency of observation for what is already thankfully known; a thinking fueled by a burning and sensual curiosity, an imagination and hunger for the mystery that remains out there, and a yearning for what has yet to be discovered about our origin, our planet, the galaxies, and what it all means. This is the mission.. to continue to "boldly go" far beyond the human fantasies and stories of our darker arcane past. We have done it before and we can do it again.
