I've lived long enough to know life is long. Statistically I am told I have 50 years left, and I know at the very least I have today. I think I have the secret now, but it is too important to keep to myself. I can't express it with words, but I can with my actions.
I want to thank Ian Gurney, a gentleman that comes in to the shop I work in. I've talked to him a few times about nothing in particular, a little a bit about football and other such light hearted nonsense. Before Christmas I'm bumped into him at my local and ended up having a chat where I learned more about him.
Ian speaks four languages and has two degrees. He worked for the BBC, first on Radio, then as a journalist. This took him to Northern Ireland, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, plus more which I have admittedly forgotten. Ian has written two books, "The Cassandra Prophecy - Armageddon Approaches" about the prophesied end of the world and "Beyond the Cassandra Prophecy-The Road to Hell" a book listing the various catastrophes that could end the world.
A diet of his second book, the philosophy of Jiddu Krishnamurti, 19th century romantic poetry and hardcore punk has had a profound effect on me. Last month I went full circle with stand up comedy as I have done many times before. If I was to become a stand up I don't think I could add anything of any real artistic merit.
I have 50 years potentially left in this world and I finally have something worth wile pursuing, other than living simply to breath. As humans we have so many unnecessary addictions, both personally and as a collective. The biggest addiction as a collective being crude oil.
As pointed out in Ian's book, in the future we are going run out of oil, water, food and land mass. With the likelihood of an outbreak of wars that will ensue over economic and enviromental problems.
With this foresight I'd like to combat these issues. I have been saving money for a bit and am looking to pay for my education, with the intention of studying renewable energies.
As much as I love movements such as Occupy Wall-street and recognise the attention they bring to corporate greed, I question what it would actually achieve in the long term. I understand the need for more practical hands on approach to problem solving.
For those who want to join me I'm creating a organisation not allied to any government, country or economic agenda. I want to create an organisation who's soul purpose is to tackle issues such as oil, water, food and land mass. A non profit organisation that will publish there results for all to see for free so as to prevent a monopoly on the technologies that will save mankind. An organisation who will fund peoples education who want to help. This is an invitation for those who want join me.
We are the children who still believe. Guild Of Shadows.
The last bit of this seems like a great idea, I'd offer to help if I knew anything remotely helpful or any world saving science. However, here's an idea: tidal electricity. The world is what.. 70 or 80% water right? Well that's a heck of space... why not have farms of tidal genorators? They exist so why not bolt loads of them together, put a fish stopping net round them to stop being clogged up with maceral patte and use this space that isn't in anyone's back yard... solar pannels on stilts in the Sahara desert to stop them being burried by sand dunes? I'm sure there's a good reason why this hasn't been done...... apart from that I've got no helpful ideas for you. :)
