Population explosion 'heralds disaster'

THE world is overpopulating itself to a catastrophic future of terrorism and climatic disaster, according to a Melbourne University professor of reproductive biology...Professor Roger Short will tell an international conference in Sydney today that for the first time in history, human activity is outstripping the natural world's ability to cope. The reason, he says, is exploding and uncontrolled population growth. (source)
 

What Will The Future Hold?

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series of books, impacted the way I choose to live my life. He introduced me to seeing the world through different eyes. I loved The Cash Flow Quadrant the most. Now, in short 20 chapters, Chris Martenson has summarised many of the ideas Kiyosaki had been writing about and he does so by getting right into the details. In a Crash Course that took him 4 years to create and research, he is now distributing it for free. Take The Crash Course now. What is it about? It is about how our economy, our ever-dwindling supply of oil and our exhausted resources may eventually culminate in disaster. Similar work equally recommended would be The Zeitgeist Addendum by Peter Joseph. I was thinking of writing another book about these issues but people like Peter Joseph and Chris Martenson are expressing and distributing these ideas very effectively. The least I could do is to refer people to watch their works. One of the reasons why I wrote The Tyranny Of God was to introduce and argue the idea that there is no God to take care of us. The fate and destiny of humanity and its planet depend entirely on us. Many of our religious beliefs hinder and distract us from recognising and understanding our predicament as a species existing in an indifferent universe.
 

I Just Joined Twitter

I have an account with Facebook but for some reason, I have ended up keeping it only for friends and relatives.

A few people, including a fellow author, have suggested I check out Twitter.Com, where people get to say what they are currently doing. The experience, I have been told, is somewhat akin to being in a friendly, noisy, social barbeque with lots of conversations flying around and there might be a couple of them in which one finds interesting enough to join in.

I heard it's very good for posting quick thoughts and ideas. I can see the appeal. I don't have to think too much about what to write about and how to write it.  That does take too long. So today, I finally opened up an account and logged in. There are a few prominent individuals, personalities and organisations there using it for what they do, so I can get a summary of what they are all doing at a glance.

So, I decided to join. If you want you can follow my "Twitting" and/or I can follow yours.

"Wealth is not measured by how much money we earn, or how much assets we have. It is measured by how much freedom we have to make the choices that are important to us: the freedom to choose where, how and why we live our lives."

-- Marquez Comelab

We go to work everyday. It is something we need to do, so we might as well do it with happy spirits. But in our spare time, nothing stops us from exploring the possibilities of all that we can achieve and all that we can give to ourselves, to the people we love and to the world around us.

You may already be trading the financial markets or you may have never heard of currency trading before, but if you want to take ownership and responsibility for your own economic future, then this book is for you.

In his simple, easy-to-understand language, the author takes you through a thorough study of all the crucial aspects of trading that can help novice and intermediate traders. Reading through it is much like having a friend next to you, patiently explaining everything you need to know to prepare for your journey, avoid the pitfalls of trading, accelerate your education and develop your own trading methodology.

 

REVIEW

"Your book is extremely well written. I have now read many and it shows all others to be amateur in comparison. It is the inspiration for me entering the profession with confidence after previously coming to the conclusion that Forex is nothing but a gamble."

The Tyranny Of God
E-Book Edition
$15 USDs

Is there a God? Where do the animals, plants and human beings come from? Are scriptures the words of gods? Does religion teach us to live moral lives? Why do so many people kill and are killed over it? How should we live our lives if God exists? How should we live it if God does NOT exist?

This book explores the truth behind our beliefs in God and the propensity of human beings to be religious. In an honest attempt to seek the answers to life's deepest questions, I probe into how life began. I then progress to investigate the true nature of religions and their impact on our lives and the rest of humanity.

The main purpose of this book is not to argue against religion. Rather, it tells our story and how we have come to oppress ourselves with the tyranny of our own beliefs. I wrote this book to include everything I discovered to be relevant in my search for the truth, not just the truth behind God and morality, but also behind us and our existence. Instead of reading this book with the expectation that it is trying to prove the tyranny of God, I would like to recommend you read it as a story book: as a book that tells the story of humanity from the Big Bang.

 

REVIEW

"While Comelab's writing is always moderate in tone, its message clearly undermines current distractions with accommodationist arguments towards presumed religious "moderates". It is written with the fresh confidence of a young man who has had early success in his adopted country and only recently come to realise the truth of atheism. For those like me whose only worry about Atheism has long been its faultering progress, Comelab reminds us that much of the energy must continue to come from those who have more recently learned the truth. He seems more than bright enough to soon progress to seeing atheism not as an end but as a starting point to the kind of understanding that should enable us to work towards a future incomparably better than any heaven the faithful can imagine."
