Delivering Hope

Welcome to my newest blog. In the coming days, weeks and months I hope to lay out some of the details I believe are important in the current stage of our nation building in Canada.

I think we have an important role to play in the wider world where our kind of hopeful optimism and our practical problem solving abilities are much needed and in short supply.

Peace and Sustainability or Death - Chapter Four

If we extrapolate the current growth rates of militarism worldwide and we calculate the cumulative harm being done to the Earth's environment and life sustaining capabilities, then it becomes apparent that we are faced with a very awkward set of prospects - scary Math.

There appears little or no hope of surviving if we humans continue to pursue these ends with these means. Destruction seems the only result under these conditions. Add to this the fact that the factor of harm grows in speed and complexity with every passing year.

It all looks pretty scary to the young television audiences and the Internet users and all who have information about this growing threat.

I propose that we test another strategy, a different approach which I will call scientific for now. Science attempts to get at truth and we need lots of truth if we are to succeed and survive.

While ideologies and visions of despair pronounce our doom, Science and Math point a way through the Storm to a hopeful future.
