bio

Author Biography
If someone were to ask you to do something; if there were even the smallest chance of it injuring your child – you would say; “No, I won’t gamble with the life of my child.” But when technologies inherently risk all life on earth – you are willing to take that small chance; for a small benefit. If words like “Extinction,” and “Apocalypse” are written too big for anything but videogames and movies: you need to step back a bit. We now have the power to do incalculable things — and we have authorities who are eager to use that power. Government isn’t impersonal; it’s personal. It’s a matter of life and death. . .

Author Insight

“Drinking Glass Analogy”

This “lesson” is in spite of [or because of] the “you have to be carefully taught” piece. Analogies, like fables, are simple touchstones for day-to-day living — a simple compass that tells you the direction in which you are heading; and [sometimes] how to get back. It’s up to you to look out for the cliff. • I once saw an old milk bottle decorated with the Quote: “There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey.” — John Ruskin. • It was a fired-on design. The milk was probably better for your longevity too.
