Global Redesign Institute was born

"From Earth to Venus" Project: Request for Help / Ideas

peterjoseph:
Everyone:
As has been denoted previously, as a central focus of the Creative Team, we are working to create a website which can explore two important issues:
1) The Carry Capacity of the Earth in a general way: essentially documenting the raw materials/energy resources of the planet in as much detail as can be obtained.
(A "Resource Database", if you will.)
2) A Virtual Global Redesign initiative where a planetary society is built "from scratch", using the most modern principles of technological application and conservation, in a full systems approach, taking into account the current needs of the world's population.

The former issue is fairly straight forward, as it is a matter of the Team investigating what information is available about the current state of resources. 
A global survey. It was suggested that we consider Google API as a possible "map" program [ code.google.com/apis/maps/index.html ] which can allow us to denote locations of resources or areas of energy concentration. For example, MIT has found many concentrations of Geothermal. These locations and values would be input into our model via a Google API layer.
(If any of you out there have a better idea... let's hear it.)

In turn, using the prior example of geothermal energy, a hypothetical project would be created where distribution methods for Geothermal would also be created. This would be within the Virtual Global Redesign initiative. A sub-team of this idea could work to show the most efficient methods which could be utilized to spread that energy over the adjacent regions, in the most efficient way. Each proposal would undergo a peer review by members. Once accepted, it would be input into our larger database / "design".

I hope these examples are clear. There are a huge range of possibilities here and I believe it is a terrific thought exercise. Again, this isn't about individual inventions- It is about inferential hypotheticals based on the simple notion of maximizing the efficiency of our usage of the planet, without the hindrance of money or the current established orders. 

This is very bold idea and it has never been done. We should start simple. So, I would like anyone who is in programming or engineering to consider this challenge and open a dialog here for ideas about the basics of the website, first. 

Then, my goal is to establish a small group of organizers who can begin giving critical thought/points to the issue, as based on the tenets of The Venus Project.

Michael Ruppert says he's innocent

 Posted: 5:01 PM September 24, 2009

Former Ashland businessman Michael Ruppert says he is innocent of sexually harassing a former employee and may appeal a state labor board ruling that he pay her $127,713.
Ruppert said the case was based on a deliberate attempt to discredit his work, a movie coming out about his views and his former newsletter, From The Wilderness
"I will always maintain my complete innocence in this matter," Ruppert said. He declined to offer specifics, saying he didn't want to taint a potential appeal.
State Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian this month ordered Ruppert to pay $125,000 in damages and $2,713 in lost wages to former employee Lindsay Gerken, 25. She claimed Rupert fired her from work at his company, From the Wilderness Inc., after she refused his sexual advances. Ruppert said it was his intention to appeal this ruling to a higher court. However, he does not have the estimated $25,000 necessary to pursue such an appeal, he added.
Officials had said they believed Ruppert was out of the country, but he called the Mail Tribune this morning after a story about the state order appeared at mailtribune.com. He said he had been living in Culver City, Calif., for the last two years.
"Collapse," a movie about his theories about a coming end time for fossil fuels, was premiered this month at the 2009 Toronto Film Festival.
