A radical solution to the problem. Interesting things on the web! Mass sterilization of women

Earth civilization is currently faced with a huge number of global problems, most of which arose due to the human factor. It is not yet possible to cope with many of them, since all the proposed methods for solving them have turned out to be ineffective. It is for this reason that many reputable institutions and organizations around the world are looking for innovative solutions to global problems. Our review contains the 10 strangest and most incredible decisions that, according to scientists, should save humanity.

1. Adopting a vegetarian lifestyle

Albert Einstein once said: “Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances of survival of life on Earth more than the evolutionary transition to a vegetarian diet.” According to several studies, Einstein was right. Adopting a vegetarian diet or a vegan lifestyle is one of the best things people can do for their health, and is also the key to solving one of the most pressing issues facing humanity today: climate change.

At first glance, eliminating meat consumption as a means of combating climate change may seem like a ridiculous idea, but a deeper look at the idea reveals a very scientific basis. The National Academy of Sciences reported that “livestock production is one of the most destructive drivers of climate change: it degrades air quality, pollutes waterways, and is the largest land-using industry.”

The UN estimates that livestock farming contributes approximately 18 percent to global climate change. In addition, this industry creates more greenhouse gases than all automobile, rail, air and sea transport around the globe combined.

2. Sweating billboards

The Zika virus was first discovered in 1947. Since then, several outbreaks of the disease have occurred in various locations around the world, especially in the Pacific Islands, Africa and Southeast Asia. In early 2016, the virus reappeared, this time spreading strongly in Brazil. Even though the disease is not fatal and most symptoms are quite mild, the Zika virus is still very dangerous.

Pregnant women infected with the disease often give birth to babies with unusually small heads (a condition called microcephaly) or other brain defects. To combat the mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus, two Brazilian marketing firms, NBS and Posterscope, have developed a very strange solution - sweating billboards.

These billboards attract and kill mosquitoes by emitting a solution of lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Lactic acid smells like sweat (hence the name), and carbon dioxide is a component of human breath. Such billboards attract mosquitoes from a distance of up to 3 km.

3. Giant space umbrella

Building a giant umbrella and then launching it into space may seem like a radical idea, but several respected organizations such as the European Union, the Royal Society, NASA and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change see such a project as a viable solution to global warming.

To return Earth's climate to pre-industrial levels, all that is needed is to block 2-4 percent of the sun's radiation. This is why (in theory, of course) a giant space umbrella could work. However, in real life, creating such a structure and launching it into space is almost impossible.

4. Plastic-eating flour beetles

The United States alone produces 33 million tons of plastic every year. Unfortunately, only 10 percent of it is recycled. As a result, due to such huge production volumes, this non-biodegradable material has become one of the largest causes of global pollution. Fortunately, scientists are close to solving this pressing global problem.

Surprisingly, the answer was found not in modern developments at all, but in microorganisms living in the intestines of a small flour beetle or mealworm. Researchers Jun Yang and Yu Yang from Beihang University, together with Wei-Ming Wu from Stanford University, found that mealworms are able to digest polystyrene foam and other forms of plastic.

In their study, the scientists found that 100 mealworms (mealworm larvae) could consume 34-39 mg of plastic every day. Surprisingly, the researchers also found that the health of mealworms that lived on a strict diet of plastic was no different from those that ate regular food.

5. Artificial plastic trees

Although carbon dioxide makes up only a small portion of the Earth's atmosphere, it has a huge impact on Earth's temperature. Carbon dioxide is odorless and colorless and is what people generate every day when they exhale. This gas is responsible for many problems on our planet, such as increasing acid levels in the oceans, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, climate change, wind and precipitation patterns.

Unlike nitrogen or oxygen, carbon dioxide absorbs heat rays from the Sun, resulting in what is known as global warming. In order to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, scientists come up with often bizarre, but scientifically sound ideas. Klaus Lackner from Columbia University has proposed using fake plastic trees to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

These artificial plants are 1,000 times more efficient than actual trees at absorbing carbon dioxide, he said. Moreover, one such tree can also absorb one ton of greenhouse gases every day. Lackner estimates that it would take about 100 million plastic trees to completely neutralize the world's total carbon dioxide emissions.

The only problem with his idea is the cost: one artificial, "carbon dioxide-absorbing" tree costs $20,000.

6. Eating insects

Contrary to popular belief, eating insects is not harmful at all. For thousands of years, ancient human ancestors ate insects. Even great civilizations such as Rome and Greece included insects in their diet. In some parts of the world, caterpillars, grasshoppers and worms are considered delicacies or aphrodisiacs.

Experts now suggest that edible insects could potentially solve the problem of world hunger. In 2013, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations released a report that found that such a solution could minimize food shortages and potential famine in many parts of the world.

At the same time, raising insects is much less harmful to the environment than raising livestock (fewer greenhouse gases are produced and less water is used). In addition, insects feed on waste materials, which will reduce the need for recycling.

7. Human bioengineering

Most solutions to global warming can be divided into two categories: changes in human behavior and changes in the environment. The problem with these solutions is that they are either ineffective or very risky. The ineffectiveness of existing solutions to climate change has led three Oxford University researchers to propose a radical solution: scientists believe human bioengineering is the key to effectively combating global warming.

In their study, which was published in the Journal of Ethics, Politics and the Environment, the three scientists identified several methods for how people can "change themselves." First, red meat intolerance has been suggested (given that the animal agriculture industry is one of the biggest causes of climate change). Also, by doing this, the amount of energy that people consume will be significantly reduced.

Secondly, it was recommended to make people smarter. Several studies have shown that "increased cognitive ability reduces fertility rates." Third, it has been proposed to treat humans with hormones such as oxytocin to make them kinder and more sensitive to the suffering of animals and other people.

8. Mass sterilization of women

By 2030, India will overtake China to become the most populous country in the world. When India became a free country in 1947, its total population was only 345 million, but in 2014 there were more than one billion Indians. This means that in just 67 years there are 900 million more people in this country. In order to control its growing population, the Indian government has introduced vasectomies for male citizens.

However, this was later abandoned as India is a patriarchal society where male sterilization is not socially acceptable. When the vasectomy plan failed, the government remembered women and launched the salpingectomy project. An estimated 37 percent of all married Indian women have undergone sterilization.

In some states, women are paid money for sterilization, in others it is illegal and women are provided with televisions, motorcycles, food, blenders and even cars.

9. Installation of blue lights

Blue may seem like an odd color for street lighting, but some experts believe that by lighting streets and train stations with blue light, two glaring global problems can be solved: street crime and suicide. In 2000, Glasgow, Scotland installed blue street lights throughout the city. To everyone's surprise, after this the number of crimes in those places where blue lights were installed decreased noticeably.

Inspired by these unexpectedly positive results, police in the Japanese city of Nara also installed blue street lights in 2005. As a result, the crime rate mysteriously dropped by 9 percent throughout the prefecture. In addition to street crime, blue lights have also reduced suicide rates. Several railway companies, such as Japan's Keihin Electric Express, have installed blue lighting at train stations, after which people have stopped throwing themselves in front of trains at these stations.

10. Moving the Earth away from the Sun

Several extreme ways to solve the problem of global warming have already been considered, but nothing compares to the radical idea of moving the Earth into a further orbit from the Sun. A group of NASA scientists have proposed using comets or asteroids to change the orbit of our planet and place it in a cooler, safer place within the solar system.

The idea is to guide asteroids or comets near the Earth so that they transfer part of their gravitational energy to our planet. If this plan succeeds, the speed of the Earth's orbit will increase and it will gradually move away from the Sun.

Another global problem for humanity is garbage. will allow you to look at this problem from a different angle.

Are you the owner of an American car? You are driving along a country highway, 68 miles on a cruise, the radio is playing pleasant music, you are sitting relaxed in your seat and enjoying the trip. Is this a familiar picture? But only during the day. At night, and even in the rain, the speed drops to 40, a close look into the darkness behind the windshield, the radio is turned off, its display makes it difficult to look at the road. Most likely, this is also a familiar picture.

Over the three years of owning a car with HB1 optics, I tried almost everything: I polished the headlights, I changed the lamps, I looked for losses in the wiring... The only thing I did not change the headlights to new original ones (the costs do not correspond to the result) and did not install xenon in the old headlights (I saw it a couple of times; such drivers in hell face centuries of constant castration without anesthesia).

The top picture shows a car with headlights of the European ECE standard, the bottom picture shows the American FMVSS 108. It can be clearly seen that the Euro headlights only shine below line 2, with the exception of the segments for roadside lighting. American ones shine mainly above line 2, that is, into the eyes of oncoming people. This is why European headlights use lamps with higher light output.

For example, a standard H4 light bulb (most cars with combined optics, for example the first generation Smart) has a light output of 1,000 lumens in low beam and 1,650 in high beam. The H1 (separate optics, for example BMW) has 1,550 lumens. We also do not forget that in separate optics both low and high beams work simultaneously, that is, the total luminous flux is 6,200 lumens.

I was lucky to become the owner of a car with HB1 headlight lamps with a light output of 700 lumens for low beam and 1,200 for high beam. This standard was a transition from headlight lamps (the lamp is integral with the headlight and changes with it) to HB3 and higher with a luminous flux of 1,700 lumens. HB1 lamps are used in almost all American cars of the late 80s and early 90s. And it is precisely with them that the judgment is connected that American light sucks.

What to do? Ideally, replace it with similar European optics. If it is not there, then you can install additional headlights. In my case, there was European optics, but its installation required replacing the entire lining and radically changed the appearance of the car for the worse. I didn’t want to install additional optics, since I couldn’t find round headlights with low and high beams in one headlight, I didn’t want to install square ones, and 6 headlights (low-high beams and fog lights) in a row on the bumper are still too much. So I gave up on new headlights and bought a Dremel. Here we go! Unfortunately, there are no photos of the process; I did it in a hurry and didn’t want to write about the process.

In addition to the Dremel (3,500 rubles), the following were purchased:

Hella modules 1BL 998 570-001. The modules are completely sealed, the lenses are made of glass. (RUB 5,000 per pair)
- HB3 xenon kit (2,500 - 7,000 rubles. I got it for myself for 5,000)

Metal crown 80 mm (Bosch, 800 rubles)
- carbon-look film Oracal 975, 1 p/m (they don’t sell less, RUB 2,700)
- Wesem 2NO high beam headlights (RUB 2,500). Very decent quality and lighting. Glass glass :) Extra dimension in the headlight. An analogue from Hella would cost 5,000 apiece, and considering that there is nowhere to travel with a long-range one now...
- wires, connectors, small tools (at the right time - invaluable)

Brief description of the work procedure. We remove the headlights. Using a Dremel, we saw off the back of the body and take out the reflector and other offal. We carefully mark the center of the module and three holes for fastenings on the plastic “glass” of the headlight; the diagram should be in the manual for the modules. Checking the markup. We drill the holes with a millimeter drill. Checking the markup. Using a crown saw, we cut out a hole for the module and drill out holes for the mounting bolts. Don't forget about the drainage holes in the lower part of the housing, because our headlight is no longer sealed. We install the module in the headlight and secure it. If we mess up with the markings, we putty the holes and drill new ones (I got it right the first time). We get a draft version of what was planned. But our headlight glass is transparent and through it you can see the fasteners and the inside of the module. And since we cut off part of the headlight housing, so did the dirt from the engine compartment. Glass can be frosted and painted, but I wanted to try a new material for me - vinyl film. First of all, inscriptions and relief elements were removed from the headlight glass with a Dremel. A carbon-look film was chosen because its corrugated surface hides surface defects, and I didn’t want to prepare the glass as carefully as for painting. Please note - film is required for outdoor use. Most of what is sold in auto stores is intended for interior use and “lives” on the street for 6 months versus 5 years for “street” ones. Initially, I focused specifically on Chinese film from auto parts for 800 rubles. per meter, but I had to buy Oracal because of its durability. There was an idea to give the headlights to a vinyl styling studio, I called several organizations near the house, explained for a long time that I was not a fool and I knew that the headlights would not be installed after that (they never understood me). The studios wanted from 2,000 to 5,000 rubles for their work. For two rectangles 150x200! I decided to buy film with this money and experiment myself. It worked the 4th time; if there had been no hole for the lens, it would have been easier. But you need to glue the film just before cutting the hole in order to bend the edges of the film inside it.

We put headlights on the car. I mounted the high beam headlights on the radiator grille; the Explorer's bumper doesn't protrude much forward; it would be difficult to install.

The lenses are halogen, but I installed 4300K xenon in them. They differ from xenon halogen lenses only in the base and price. The curtain and the lens itself are identical. At the same time, the cost of halogen lenses and a set of Korean xenon is 3 times less than xenon lenses with branded ignition units. And the ability to replace lamps with halogen can be useful during a technical inspection.

We turn on the headlights. We're freaking out. We understand that we could save money on high beam headlights - they are simply not needed. By the way, with halogen lamps, the headlights also shine well, but because the light is yellow, it seems that the lighting is worse.

Although no, the additional dimensions were definitely not superfluous.

The cut-off line is perfect. Adjusted it at the inspection station. There are no complaints about light distribution. Sometimes it blinds those around you: due to the fact that the headlights are located high, the mirrors of low cars are below the cut-off line. Infinity QX has the same problem :) Comfortable speed on the night highway has risen to 75 miles per hour. Night driving is no longer scary. I highly recommend it to everyone. In winter I will do similar work on Smart. I will definitely post photos of the process.

"RADICAL SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM" - is it possible?

First, what is expected in this case?
- Supposed psychologically move into a qualitatively different state.

Is such a transition always possible?
- Not always.

Is there a prospect for those for whom a psychological transition to a qualitatively different state is practically impossible?
- Eat. This feasible correction of the current condition in order to make interaction with the environment more adequate and, therefore, less pathogenic; make you feel more harmonious; make life more joyful.

The main limiting factor is the plastic reserve of the body in general and the brain, the psyche in particular...

Often, a transition to a qualitatively new state is possible only with demotion of the organization, and this may be unacceptable for a person as an individual . And then the person is ready to put up with his acute problems (for example, a severe psychosomatic illness) for the sake of maintaining a high level of mental organization.

Another important limiting factor is sensory attachment to the existing structure of the soul. Overall satisfaction comes not only from the satisfaction of individual needs, but also from conformity with oneself in one’s existing structure . Yes, such correspondence is required by the idea of oneself, and the fixing influence of society, and a lot more... - in general, when what is available is either of little value, or indifferent, or disgusting.

Level of consciousness development very strongly determines the possibility of transition to a qualitatively new state. People may in fact simply be incapable of conscious reorganization. Such ability or inability must be assessed in advance. Moreover, if a person is not capable of independent transition, his possibility must be assessed under the influence of either a significant other person or the community. Moreover, an effective connection can be both erotic and social.

Transfiguration, which we are talking about here - this is a qualitative leap. In order for it to happen, it is necessary, firstly, exhaust, fulfill a present state of mind ; Secondly, - form an idea about the next one.

If the present condition lagging behind From the biological stage, that is, stuckness occurs, measures are needed to make it completely unacceptable - neither consciously nor sensually...

If the cash condition is basically corresponds biological stage, measures should be aimed at improving and executing this organization. Improvement involves getting rid of relic stereotypes, suggestions, etc. Development involves the discovery of abilities and needs corresponding to the biological organization...

When overcoming psychological infantilism a new state, adequate to the biological organization, is established first as additional to the existing one, and then, gradually, as the main one, that is, extending to most of the waking state.

Psychological transition associated with age-related biological reorganization , is accomplished either critically (this is painful!), when one system of needs is replaced by another, or the gradual development of a new quality , that is, at first realizing in it only a small fraction of the time, sometimes with someone, and then making it the main one.

There is no need to rush into the age transition. The time allotted by nature must be used for self-improvement and all-round development. But if the deadline has come, even if the final stage was very satisfactory, then there is no need to hesitate.

If the transition to a mental state adequate to the biological organization is practically impossible, then the questions arise of feasible correction of the current state and optimization of a person’s life - from a specialist, and at the expense of the social environment - individuals, communities.
