The reason the world will end is not because of technology, but because we chose the wrong soil

The moment humanity began to control too much, the Earth began to break down. If all of the data from the modern world were input into a supercomputer, what kind of future would it reveal?War, population, economy, resources, technology, climate...No matter how you adjust the conditions,the answer often converges on a single answer."If things continue as they are, human civilization is headed for catastrophe."Advancing technology,increasing renewable energy,changing the financial system,wouldn't significantly change the outcome.But there is one areawhere the results can be changed.And that is agriculture.And it's not modern agriculture.Only organic farming, which doesn't emit nitrous oxide,is shown to reduce the probability of global extinction. Carbon dioxide isn't the only thing destroying the planet In discussions of global warming, carbon…

It’s not carbon dioxide that’s destroying the planet

Agriculture, Nitrous Oxide, and Hemp: The Only Answer For a long time, discussions of global environmental issues have centered around carbon dioxide (CO₂).Power generation, cars, factories, airplanes...The shared narrative is that reducing these things will save the Earth.However, this explanation centers on "easy-to-understand numbers,"and does not address the true cause.What is quietly but surely tormenting the Earth is nitrous oxide (N₂O) emitted by agriculture. The most dangerous greenhouse gas that is rarely talked about Nitrous oxide is- a greenhouse gas with a greenhouse effect approximately 300 times greater than carbon dioxide- can remain in the atmosphere for over 100 years- not only raises temperatures,- but also destroys the ozone layerIt is an extremely destructive gas.Despite this,it is rarely discussed at…

Governance that does not exclude the weak: Why do the ideas of King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit resonate with the modern-day legalization of marijuana?

The recent legalization and decriminalization of cannabis around the world is not simply a matter of lifting the ban on recreational drugs or creating a new industry. At its core lies a fundamental question: how should the state treat those deemed "weak" or "deviant?" In this context, it is worth noting a certain governance philosophy that was quietly but consistently demonstrated in Thailand in the second half of the 20th century. This was the attitude embodied by King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit: "not excluding the weak, but bringing them back into the system." Northern Thailand during the Cold War: The "weak" were always targeted for exclusion Between the 1950s and 1970s, the mountainous region of northern Thailand, centered around…
