Sidewinder: Shutting down Nuclear is wisdom, Creative energy generation opportunity, Anti-nuclear movement in India book, Obama Accomplishments

Shutting down Nuclear is wisdom,

learning from past (humongous) mistakes

(e.g. Nuclear energy is an atrocious mistake - abolish Nuclear)

and a creative energy generation opportunity,

which can be very profitable.


Check out the energy wiki Subjects at WUaS

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Energy_Technologies#World_University_and_School_Links

and add your own subjects for open teaching & learning

(with a MIT OCW academic focus).

Lichen on rock: 'Terence McKenna: Appreciating Imagination - 1/28,' Even as far-out as the left-brain can go, I'm glad he left a lot of symbols

'Terence McKenna: Appreciating Imagination - 1/28' ...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmPv8YjSWas

... this is thoughtful and considered

... not sure where I might add this at WUaS ... perhaps a new 'Imagination / Imaginaries' subject ... perhaps the Entheogens subject? ... or probably the Creativity subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Creativity - or Art http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Art or Entheogens' - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Entheogens - subjects ... liking its focus on imagination :) (... I hear the voice of a philosopher in Terrence @E.R., @Heartsong :)


.. added this Terrence McKenna far out talk to WUaS's "If, There, Beyond" wiki subject, - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/If_There_Beyond - and the Creativity http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Creativity and Art - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Art - subjects (@HeartSong)


HS:
Even as far-out as the left-brain can go...it still leads to a terminal-state-of -mind...he died of brain cancer in 2000; previous interviews led to his "time-wave" theory [an 'end of time' in 2012]...he crwated an early "apocolypse" for himself ; a wonderful man with a self-fulfilling prophecy.



Scott:
... no more word-interactivity - actual conversation - with Terrence, but I'm very glad he left a lot of left brain thinking in words, texts, recordings and symbols ... at least we can continue to engage his thinking further today in our own imaginations, at least one way by listening, even after his death ... but the little help he had from his friends of the forest floor - which I'm curious about - seemed to rocket his bodymind into new spaces, and wondrously :) ... imagination-learning-opportunities-unfolding ... xo monsieur jaima!!!

An example of Scots, from DM:

Loatsa fowk think Ahm a pure-bred Choochter, but Ahm naw. Ah'm a mongrel tyke o some sort. When Ah wis a wee fella, Ah went back an furrard tae Gleska like a yo-yo wi ma Maw fur ma ees at ra Infirmary. Ma Maw was awfy poash, though. Her Maw an her Paw were frae Skye - an ra Skye's fowk's awfy poash tae start wi. Oanywye, her Paw goat himsel a deid easy joab as a fireman up Maryhill waye, scooshing wahher on ra fires wance in a blue moon. Ma Maw says at he wiz aye moanin aboot it, an wisht he'd goan tae sea doon ra wahher - an they aw wished he had tae. They were up ra toap o ra Fire Station in Maryhill - Gairbraid Avenue, an Ah ken it weel - an it wis awfy posh up rerr, Ah'm tellin youse. Best bit o it wis ra caurs roarin doon Bilsland Drive under yon aquaduck. Ma Maw went tae North Kelvinside fur her ejjymacation, and rat pit ra tin lid oan ra whole joab. Ah picked up ra pahher frae Aggie oan ra caurs, but Ah wisnae allowed tae speak wan word o it (except tae Aggie, when ma Maw wisnae listnin). Oanywye, wan day she heard me speakin ra pahher tae Aggie, an she says, 'Donald, that is NOT proper English!' An Ah says, 'Maw, Ah knaw fine an dandy it's nae proper English - it's whit ra Gleska fowk say, an Ah love ra Gleska fowk, an Ah waannnt tae speak tae rem, an Ah waant tae speak like rem, nae like you,' An ye know whit happened next? Just awfy...but she turned roon in frint o Aggie an gied me a skite oan ma lug! An she says, 'Don't speak to me like that, you impolite brat, and don't talk back!' An Ah wisna sure whit she meant wi 'talkin back'. Aw humans tawk back tae wan anurra. Oanywye....aye, oanywye....Ah had tae haud ma wheesht oan ra caurs, an it wis an awfy shame. Ra Gleska fowk ferr loved ra wee Choochter fella wi his wee kilt blawin roon his wee bum. But Ah've goat ra pahher aff pat, an Ah can speak it nae borra! Ah hud three lingos in them days - Gleska Pahher, Gaaalick, an ra Queen's English (ma Maw wis ra Queen). An rat's why Ahm sae fond o Scots an aw ra twangs an lingos o' Scotland. Get it noo, fowks? Bye the noo. See ye soon. Ra Free Tram's shooglin alang wi Aggie hingin frae ra pole! 'It's yirsel, Aggie....Haud back ra caur fur yir Choochter china!' (-: Donald Meek
