Surviving an Emergency for Millennials

-
Have an extra gallon of water for sure, wait, better make that two. It's better to think conservatively.


Make sure you have a can opener that also works on batteries. Have at least four spare AA's. 

 Don't count on food delivery during an emergency. Be prepared to go down to the restaurant and get it "to go." 

 Keep extra clean socks. 

 Expect the TV won't work; record a lot of programs ahead of time. 

 In case people turn into zombies and the undead awaken...well, we don't have anything for that. Get a new phone number maybe. 

 Forget driving your car: You may have to take a taxi or Uber. 

 Above all, panic. If you are remaining calm while all others are losing their minds, maybe you should reconsider.

Ending RACISM

-

We cannot be in this situation: The beatings will continue until the morale improves. Our world appears to have a strong measure of irrationality in many places where it needs the opposite: A sum of ideas. National contests on uplifting all the people.  It’s all so helpless in my soul. Racism is the first to go, but these others are works in progress: Sexism, Ageism, and other methods of unfair discriminations. What is needed, one idea, is: NATIONAL CONTEST OF IDEAS ON THE ISSUE OF UPLIFTING THE BLACK PEOPLE OF AMERICA (which also uplifts the 80% that are paycheck to paycheck broke, as we found out; easy to do hard to understand) THIS CONTEST UPLIFTS EVERYONE, BECAUSE WE ALL FACE UNFAIR EXCLUSIONS THE BIG INDUSTRIES CAN PLEDGE PROGRAMS, PRODUCTS, AND FUNDS FOR THE BLACK PEOPLE (tax deductible). Discounts on cars, food, ways to make more money. Compensations from all industries. We uplift all the poor and left behind. Once you have billions, and the prospect of making billions more ...

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...
