Wise Up - Do The Right Thing! Hemp, Respect Nature, Clean Up Our Mess...
This is an open call — to the tech giants, to AI infrastructure architects, to anyone powering the future — to stop running superintelligence on super-toxic electricity. We cannot teach machines to be wise while fueling them with destruction.
We already have another, better path where humans and machines can co-exist in balance and joy.
For example, we can abundantly power super computers using magnetic energy instead of toxic energy.
The late MIT professor and patent holding inventor Bruce DePalma’s N-Machine is a magnetic generator that works with a Faraday motor to produce clean, abundant energy — without combustion, without carbon, without compromise. I know because I co-published a book on it, DePalma, Free Energy and the N-Machine. Magnetic energy is not new. It's easily demonstrable. It works without hurting Earth.
Combining various configurations of hemp: the strongest, fastest-growing carbon-negative building material we have, I’ve proposed 3D printing homes, schools, clinics — even data centers — from hempcrete and hemp plastics, powered entirely by a dual free, safe and clean power source i.e. magnetic energy. This would create safer housing in the face of what the United Nations calls "global boiling.
So I’m saying yes — publicly, loudly, again and again — until the people with power start powering wisely.
Because here’s the truth no one wants to admit:
Every “thank you” to ChatGPT burns water.
Every AI breakthrough drains grids built on coal, gas, and genocide.
Every data center eats up forests, land and futures.
We cannot afford to run artificial intelligence on planetary suicide.
This is a call to OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA — and to every university, foundation, and government:
⚡ Build one data center. Just one.
⚡ Print it in hemp.
⚡ Power it magnetically.
⚡ Prove we can do this without killing the planet.
This is not a dream. It is a direction. It is a decision. A demand that we stop commiting suicide and instead create a world of balance.
If AI is truly here to help humanity, then humanity must help Earth first.

Revisiting the Case for Ibogaine / Iboga: Addressing the Addiction Crisis
In 2014, I advocated to the LDS Church for consideration of ibogaine or iboga as a solution to our drug addiction problem. Ten years later, the urgency to address drug addiction has only intensified, with addiction contributing to societal sorrows and hindering global efforts to combat our climate crisis and other urgent issues.
This updated blog entry explores why ibogaine remains a promising solution, the current state of the addiction crisis, the societal benefits of solving it, and strategies to empower this effective drug addiction treatment.
Drug overdoses dramatically increased over the last two decades, with deaths increasing more than 500% between 1999 and 2022.Deaths involving multiple drugs (i.e., polysubstance overdose deaths) also increased.
Drug overdose death disparities are widening.
Substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs), especially those that lead to drug overdose deaths, are prominent public health issues."
Why Ibogaine?
Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive substance derived from the Tabernanthe iboga plant that has shown remarkable potential in treating addiction, particularly to opioids.
Unlike traditional treatments, most with low success rates for breaking addictions for long periods of time, ibogaine disrupts the cycle of addiction by resetting the brain's reward system, reducing withdrawal symptoms, and addressing the psychological roots of addiction. This holistic approach offers a new path for those trapped in the cycle of substance abuse, solving the problem at the level of cause.
The Escalating Addiction Crisis
National and international drug addiction rates have reached alarming levels.
In the United States, opioid overdoses remain a leading cause of death, with synthetic opioids like fentanyl exacerbating the crisis. Globally, addiction is intertwined with social instability, poverty, and crime, making it a multifaceted challenge that requires innovative solutions. The addiction crisis is not just a health issue; it's a societal one, with far-reaching impacts on communities, economies, and the environment.
Societal Benefits of Solving Addiction
Addressing addiction can yield profound societal benefits. Reducing addiction rates would alleviate the burden on healthcare systems, reduce crime, and improve community well-being. Moreover, by restoring individuals to their full potential, society can harness the talents and energies of those who might otherwise be lost to addiction. In the context of our current climate crisis, this is particularly crucial. We need every capable hand to contribute to the global effort to restore ecological balance, and helping those struggling with addiction is a step toward that goal.
Strategies for Including Ibogaine in Treatment
To integrate ibogaine into the mainstream, we must first advocate for further research and clinical trials to solidify its efficacy and safety profile. Governments and health organizations need to recognize ibogaine as a viable treatment option and create regulatory frameworks that allow for its controlled use. Additionally, education campaigns are essential to inform both healthcare providers and the public about ibogaine's potential.
Collaborating with religious and community organizations, like the United Nations and the missionaries at the LDS Church, can also play a pivotal role in destigmatizing addiction and promoting ibogaine as a treatment option. These organizations often have the reach and influence needed to shift public perception and policy. By framing addiction treatment as both a moral imperative and a practical necessity, we can mobilize broader support for innovative solutions like ibogaine.
Conclusion
The addiction crisis is a pressing issue that demands new approaches. Ibogaine offers a promising solution that not only addresses the symptoms of addiction but also tackles its root causes. As we face unprecedented challenges, including the global climate crisis, it is imperative that we empower every individual to contribute positively to society. By supporting ibogaine research and integration, we can make strides in solving the addiction crisis and, in turn, strengthen our collective ability to address the broader challenges facing humanity.
