Zero gravity, infinite potential. #TEDTalks
Is space the “final frontier” — or the perfect place to revolutionize life on Earth? Space architect Ariel Ekblaw reveals how self-assembling structures could build orbiting real estate in space dedicated to solving humanity’s greatest dilemmas on Earth, leading to scientific and medical breakthroughs only possible in zero gravity.

The Controversial Climate Tool Funding Real Change | Sandeep Roy Choudhury | TED
If a company plants trees to offset its pollution, is that climate progress — or is it greenwashing? Critics of carbon markets say it’s the latter. But Sandeep Roy Choudhury, who’s spent two decades financing climate projects from rural cookstoves to coastal forests, says the real failure is discouraging companies from even trying. Hear his…

When nobody ever mentioned… Hey you know we have an actual budget … You do know that this’ll cost 500000 gazillion trillion billion dollars, all stolen from citizens, by governments threatening death or confinement of the citizens, who by the way will zero benefit, so 6 people can monopolize it all and claim ownership and be trillionaires.
Kinda like how MUSK, and Branson, Bezos, have monetized everything nasa did, all so dirty Katy Perry can go around claiming she’s an astronaut for simply being a passenger for 15 minutes.🙄
In my opinion. The space program is the biggest waste ever. And it’s the most obvious place for blatant fraud and theft of billions, because the public is completely kept in the dark. But it’s for ALL HUMANITY…

Short-sighted. Money is actually getting increasingly obsolete. Ubi will be implemented first, after that it will be phased out.
It’s more important we focus on multiple things than just “fixing our planet”.
Our ways of thinking and doing things will change to a point that you won’t recognize.

Surely such powerful magnets might have an effect on the iron in our blood? If this level of wealth and investment in time and creative energy were focused on bringing everyone above poverty-level existence and cleaning up the environment, we would be free to create in the world we were given rather than taking our war-like and destructive colonizer mentality out into other realms. ET consciousness doesn’t want our selfish and immature mindset to spread further than we are. Nest-soiling, arrogant super-predator super-parasite. We break our own children! Our potential for fully embodied decency is squandered on these ego projects. IMO. Folly of the fallen.
