Immortal Animals

Immortal animals: Get sick, reverse to infant age, cells have to grow all over again / lobsters just keep growing, only disease or predator kills them / turtles: organs don’t break down over time, only disease and predation/ worm limitless regeneration of parts / Whales maybe/ radiation resistant bacteria/ tardigrade bacteria stops its aging by entering crypto-biosis where metabolism comes to a halt indefinitely.

The New Consultancy

At about the time you start to hate your job, you have developed enough skills to become a consultant, not a bed of roses either: You have to know what to do with yourself!  I gave a ride one night after a party to a celebrity from California. He had been a tennis player, and played in some big tournaments, but, did not make it to TV pro.  He is practicing at the park, some Japanese film makers were there, he looked right to them, off to making commercials for big money he went.  I took him home and as we neared Menlo Park California, he said to me that here were big homes with tennis courts, pools, luxury.  I immediately knew what to ask: What do they do the next week after they get all this stuff? So too with my new consultancy at United States Robots and Mechanical Persons.  It is fun, modern office, just the right kinds of distractions (sadly, cell phones), but clean. I hope to develop a new line of robot with new types of functionalities, a...

The formula for War and defusing it

Along the way I realized this is more for the movers and shakers, the ones that have the power to influence groups that can use this idea for positive means, very valuable and mathematical, like dominoes falling.  This is Warren Peace from departmentofgoodideas.com    I believe your approach is very close in spirit with my approach for ending wars. The formula goes like this, in the escalation of hostile emotions:   Miffed--> Miffed again --> Frustration --> CONFLICT --> Anger --> Violence one-on-one --> WAR (large scale planned out directed violence)  From this mechanism for the emotional energy flows, what I see is that we need a Department of Pre-conflict which can defuse situations before the combatants even realize something happened, or the group begins what you do, step in and help.  We can perhaps have an INVENTORY of the potential areas from experience, then we can solve the problems by having a group thinking about the sour...

It is time to have national contest of ideas on Apology, Respect, and Compensation

For the ones that work for others know now these social media outlets have few ideas and mostly just reveal detective-like information. All else is what? The constant pictures of cool looking women in seductive poses is nice, but I also need positive good ideas for mysef and others, which is why I work at department of good ideas. This summer the movies! Yes, join me in San Francisco for filming a movie, remember to wear your mask! The movie studio will open again. Maybe the movie ends with the people taking off their masks at a beach sunset. My book will come out soon, Department of Good Ideas: How to Build a Better World (and have lots of fun doing it!). But, if it does not reach the emotions of many, it will have failed. It takes two to tango. Maybe I get Tom Cruise to sign off on it, other celebrities. I want to reach 20% of the people and get support for these contests of ideas, IDEA SHARING. We do not only want police to leave the black people alone, but we finally require the re...
