Joe,
I think you are right — I am 65 now and have been in the activist left of the political spectrum since I could walk. In my time I have seen The Left completely co-opted by the reigning paradigm. I strongly think that H sapiens doesn’t have a future on planet Earth. However, we continue to do what we can to solve the seemingly intractable problems. I have some hope for decentralised systems (Blockchain, SAFEnet) having an impact before systemic environmental collapses start happening. Now I am working on my Life Extension Villages project:
and am looking at an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) as a way of subsidising further development, scientific and medical research and eventually allowing this community to explore the rest of The Universe.
I think we need an Alt Coin dedicated to Scientific and Medical Research and creating a Space Faring community and I need help to start setting it up. I think the coin should be called a “Sagan”.
