Happiness does have a smell. This is very much true - completely obvious yet totally mysterious.

China's provincial announced wind and solar installed targets add up to *874GW* in the current five-year plan period (2021-2025), according to industrial news portal in-en.com. China has delivered 103GW in 2021 and is expected to add 150GW in 2022. China is planning to add 200GW per year of solar and wind capacity until 2025. For an order of magnitude, this is the equivalent of adding almost the TOTAL US wind and solar capacity installed to date (260GW)... but EVERY YEAR until 2025 .

Soon humanity will recognize that nature is full of super intelligent beings - much more powerful than any artificial thing we build. Seeing them requires a shift in perspective, as they operate at radically different timescales & beyond simply notions of bodies & communications.

Trees are majestic beings that live for a long time. They deserve more of our attention. Their health and well-being is in all our interest. Killing them for profit is fundamentally wrong. We have much to learn from these giant elders of planet earth.

.‘Lying flat’, or tang ping, a social protest movement, went mainstream in China last year, referring to the idea of just doing enough to get by. But now, some Chinese youths are ‘letting it rot’ by not even attempting to participate in society to begin with."

Automation compassion?
I seriously wonder who is building solutions for all the people that will soon be out of work, left with no career opportunities and totally stressed out by the rise of "naked automation"? (A.I with no regard/alternative plan for the humans it replaces). The technologists & capitalists have no answers to offer what so ever.

Was asked today by a ghost from the past about my knowledge of "any teams/companies/individuals who you think do a really good job of providing context for health information". My comment:
Regarding teams that provide context to health info (ML & beyond): I've done my research deep dives on this general topic and have some hunches - fairly obvious insights, nothing particularly groundbreaking. But frankly this entire space is completely full of spooks/intel/military/mafia front-orgs and front-people: From the early days of Tavistock etc. all the way to the digital twining of entire populations under permanent bio-signals surveillance, and the altering of bio/psycho-dynamics of masses as part of new types of "currencies" on the "internet of bodies", all under the framework of full-spectrum dominance extended to all aspects of biological life on earth. As i personally believe in the profound power of relaxation and am a life long explorer of that path, i find this all far to stressful and hence stay far away. From my perspective meditation, relaxation and true kindness and care are more effective than all of the Bio-AI-intelligence-blabla in the world. But ultimately, everybody has to follow their own path and truth - and I'm not here to preach but to practice.

Synthetic people living in artificial realities, powered by real energy
We are in the middle of a global energy crisis, people in the EU struggling to keep their houses warm, and the technology community is hyper-scaling their totally mindless use of electricity mostly for entertainment purposes. SNAFU. WTF. (Image generated with Stable Diffusion - prompt: "A woman warms herself up with her Nvidia Geforce RTX 3090")
