The following TED talk delivered by Bill Gates speaks of his one wish to halve the cost of energy while simultaneously reducing carbon output from the production of energy to zero. He speaks of energy miracles and explains his preference for a particular miracle he favours.

According to a new study by Badenoch & Clark, claims that 83% of employees think their employer lacks proper commitment to corporate social responsibility. In fact, 28% dismissed their companies’ efforts as nothing more than a box-ticking exercise.
The case could be made that poor internal communications are responsible for this interesting statistic. The employees just [...]
I found the following video when searching for potential training partners to help with implementing Kahatika.
Again the Video is worth watching all the way through, in fact this clip comes from a cut down two hour interview.
If you are running short of time, skip through to about sixteen minutes in where Dov Seidman talks about [...]
When I speak of my “Save the World” goal I don’t mean saving the planet. After all, the known life cycle of the sun dictates the ultimate demise of our planet. Saving the sun is not on the agenda.

His idea of entrusting organisations to distill information for human consumption is a little bit like entrusting a government formed through representative democracy.
None of [...]
Our biggest change agent “Business”, develops, causing society to progress in some direction or another, for what seems like more and more inexplicable reasons.
Surely as a society it would be great to have confidence that our most powerful change agents are doing what they do for admirable reasons?
According to a new study by Badenoch [...]
I have found much to my dismay that if I stop exercising my muscles I get weaker and less capable of doing the physical things I used to do.
The opportunity to do physical exercise outside of the time I spend swapping my time for money is getting greater and greater. There are no end of [...]
“The world would be saved if we could just love one another.”
An airy fairy statement used by hippies and dreamers?
