What can we do about co2 emissions? This is an interesting page with some statistics.

It is very possible to write an explanation why the Arabs would have the industrial, commercial etc. revolution and not Europe. In Europe, the climate is wrong, religion is less open then Islam for learning and people drink themselves silly.

Doping. Why not have a separate competition where doping is allowed. Would it be more successful then normal competition?

It is funny that when Alexander ruled the world, the Greek didn't want to acknowledge that the Macedonians were real Greeks. To them they were Barbarians outside. But now they think the Macedonians cannot be Macedonians, because the real Macedonians are Greek, so the Slavic ones should call themselves republic of Skopje.

As time goes by, the costs of producing things drops. At the same time, the cost of owning things without doing something with it, grows. This means we're moving in the direction of a post materialistic society, where choosing to own things becomes more expensive then the value of the things you own.

The Indians thought it strange that someone could own land, or rather that's what I was told. In a same way it is strange that one could own a frequency. There are enough frequencies in the space for communications. It would somehow be nice, that everybody would get a sort of birthright: frequencies, land and polution allowance. They could then by birth sell these rights, or rather lease these rights and their education could be paid for by it.

It is to bad that people growing up, lose their ability or is it more want, to play. Children play and generally seem to have more fun than adults. I played with a kid and impressed here very much by the size of the mudballs I could create. When a young boy tried to imitate my balls, she said: When you're grown up, you can make balls just like that. Probably when he is grown up, he can, but then it is to late. He doesn't want anymore.
