Subject: Global Warming, Population, and Other Stuff
Hello,
Global Warming:
Given that the Earth was much warmer 1000 years ago,
when the Vikings settled Greenland when it was really
green, that it is now; its very clear that if global
warming is real, that it cannot possibly be caused by
CO2 emissions. Its most likely caused by the solar
output cycle. Reducing CO2 emissions is likely to have
little effect on global warming.
Also the Russians have decided that the Kyoto treaty
is twaddle and are not going to sign it. The head of
the Russian Academy of Sciences was quoted as saying
that the only people adversly affected by the demise
of the Kyoto treaty are those few thousand people who
make their living attending global warming
conferences. I thought the whole CO2 global warming
thing was as much twaddle and junk science as cold
fusion. Best to put it behind us and get on with life.
Population:
It is amazing that people still think that population
growth is a valid argument against life-extension.
Where do these people come from. Its been obvious to
me since the beginning that if we can remain (or
restore ourselves to) a physiological age of 25 years
old forever, that people will live the youth-oriented,
bohemian life-style that 25 year olds tend to live.
The birth rate is going to plummet through the floor.
The whole time I lived in Southern California and East
Asia, all of the twenty-somethings I knew were either
career-oriented or liked to live a party-oriented,
bohemian life-style. None of them talked about
"settling down" and having kids. I will also add that
the Asian young people are becoming more "post-modern"
in this regard than many of the American young people
(but not Aussie or European).
I really think that we can let go of our fears of
over-population.
Doomsday stuff in General:
I have been hearing this doomsday stuff since I've
been in sixth grade. I am now 40 years old. I've been
hearing it for so long that I think it a bunch of
twaddle. Global warming is just the latest incarnation
of this stuff. It is worth knowing that the lead
promugators of global warming are the same people who
were warning us about global cooling in the late 60's
to mid 70's. The one consistant characteristic that
these people all share is an animosity towards
free-market liberalism and personal freedom, in
general.
Other Stuff:
I am now selling, world-wide, a biochip scanner
developed by my friend in Taiwan. It works with most
biochips and we are seeking biochip manufacturers
(those that do not make their own scanners) as
business development partners. We are also considering
developing an automated system for cell cultivation.
As some of you know, biotechnology lab techniques are
currently labor intensive with a low-level of
automation. One of the reasons for the success of
semiconductor manufacturing is due to automation. We
believe that biotechnology offers a market opportunity
for automation and instrumentation.
The word on the street (in Asia) is that the Beijing
government is set to pass laws redically de-regulating
biotech industry in China, as well as to increase
state-funding of biotech; as part of an effort to
ensure that China becomes the global leader in
biotechnology (nanotech is just a funky version of
biotech). Even though the quality of Chinese research
is still low, it is improving rapidly and we think
that it will improve more as a result of these current
initiatives on the part of the Beijing government. The
major centers of biotech are greater Shanghai (which
has many beautiful women) and Guangdong province (in
the south, near Hong Kong).
It is this market that my friends in Taiwan and I want
to sell into. If you know of any biotech companies
that need a sales agent in China, please let me know.
Best Regards,
Kurt Schoedel
