Whacking Dust!

“Turns out, that if you whack dust really, really hard, it comes to life for a short while …” 


As you see, the title of this blog, is “Whacking Dust”.

 

It comes from “Turns out, that if you whack dust really, really hard, it comes to life for a short while …” and it alludes to the Big Bang. I saw this somewhere or dreamt it, liked it and thought that it was quite poetic in its allusion.

 

Obviously, the purpose of this blog is to my thoughts into writing. I will write about technology, science and things that simply interest me.

 

I’m not a pedant and won’t discuss/debate the intricacies of various points. I don’t get much fun from that. Nor will I get too philosophical and do the “angels dancing on the heads of pins” schtick. That’s even more boring.

 

Nevertheless, having said that, I will (most of the time) try and be as exhaustive in my points and explanations as possible. However, I reserve the right for myself to just put my thoughts down anyway I choose – or “simply because I want to”.

 

Anyway, feedback happily accepted. If anyone does respond, then I kindly ask that they comment the point and not the person.

 

Thanks!

A Global Shadow Economy finally manifests

A Global Shadow Economy finally manifests By 2050, 97+% of the worlds individuals will  be participating in, and fully reliant upon, a “Shadow Economy” that is outside a country’s official  national econom y   or   even  the world's economy . It will addresses most, if not all, of their economic needs and provide mechanisms whereby they  can exchange   “instruments of  value" for "goods and services".  Financial transactions within the shadow economy will be conducted with unofficial financial instruments (for example: Shadow-Dollars) and used to make “purchases” of goods and services. Small businesses will arise (e.g. manufactures, boutique medical suppliers, repair works, etc.) that will trade exclusively with Shadow-Dollars and operate in a manner that avoids any scrutiny of the official economy.   This Shadow Economy will arise as individuals will no longer have access to the official economy - because most of the world’s generated w...
