Please share in the comments below any suggestions of your ideas to add or for how to get these simple solutions to decision makers. I refuse to lose access to A.I.
Nothing is impossible — not even balancing technological advancement with environmental responsibility.
Artificial Intelligence is becoming one of the most powerful tools humanity has ever created. Yet the infrastructure supporting A.I., especially massive data centers, is creating serious environmental concerns involving:
• Extreme electricity consumption • Heavy water usage for cooling • Noise pollution • Heat generation • Electronic waste • Land use pressures • Questions about long-term electromagnetic exposure and environmental impact
At the same time, A.I. is too valuable to abandon. The challenge is not whether A.I. should exist, it is how to build the systems supporting it responsibly.
One possible direction is the development of environmentally conscious next-generation data centers using advanced construction methods and sustainable materials.
Imagine data centers built with:
• 3D construction printing for speed, precision, reduced labor danger, and reduced waste • Hempcrete for fire resistance, insulation, carbon storage, and sound dampening • ABS hemp plastic composite wall layers for waterproofing, durability, and structural protection • Integrated soundproofing designed to recording studio standards • Atmospheric water generation systems (“water from air”) to reduce strain on local water supplies • Dual clean-energy systems combining solar, geothermal, hydro, wind, and future experimental energy systems • Faraday shielding integrated into the building structure to reduce electromagnetic leakage and protect sensitive electronics • Rural placement strategies paired with sustainable agriculture and local workforce development
The goal is not simply to build more data centers. The goal is to build intelligent infrastructure that works in harmony with the environment, people and technology.
Many of these technologies already exist individually. The opportunity is integrating them into one coherent environmental design strategy.
Humanity and A.I. working together responsibly could help solve problems that once seemed impossible.
We cannot afford the luxury of a technologically advanced but environmentally careless world.
• The Moses West Foundation
Founded by veteran and atmospheric water generation pioneer Moses West, the organization develops mobile “water from air” systems that extract clean drinking water directly from atmospheric humidity. The technology has been deployed in disaster relief zones, underserved communities, and emergency response operations as an alternative water resilience strategy where traditional infrastructure is limited or compromised.
• Hemp Traders
Founded by hemp pioneer Larry Serbin, Hemp Traders has been one of the longest-running suppliers and advocates of industrial hemp products in the United States. The company has helped educate the public and emerging industries about the practical uses of hemp in textiles, composites, construction materials, paper, food, body care products, and environmentally sustainable manufacturing. Hemp Traders has also played an important role in preserving and expanding awareness of hemp as a renewable agricultural resource with applications in green building and ecological infrastructure development.
Post your thoughts both on this environmentally conscious solution and pratical ways to implement it, i.e. sufficiently vetted to reach International Building Codes standards.
I am extremly blessed to be old still enjoying my passion for new words and concepts. My dear sister Happy sent me the link below this morning.
ZOOCHOSIS THEORY IN AMERICA TIKTOK REACTION
In H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine, George travels to a distant future where humanity has split into two species. The Eloi—soft, passive, and emotionally dulled—live in surface-level comfort but lack empathy, curiosity, or courage. When one of their own begins to drown, they simply stand and watch.
The Time Machine: ~ Eloi River Scene
That scene haunted me. Not just as fiction, but as a mirror of what is happening now. While we are lost in our screens, selfishly imprisioned in our own minds, dangerous waters are flowing around us, as geological, social and medical needs go unfulfilled.
Today, we see a similar emotional detachment in what TikTok creators have dubbed Zoochosis—a term borrowed from animal psychology to describe the mental distress caused by captivity. But this isn’t about cages and zoos. It’s about cubicles, screens, algorithms, and concrete. It’s about the slow erosion of joy, agency, and connection in a world that’s become too artificial for the human soul.
As someone who’s worked with computers since the early 1970s, I’ve watched this evolution unfold. I’ve seen ADHD and emotional disconnection deepen across generations. I’ve seen people become spectators in their own lives—scrolling, pacing, numbing. And I’ve felt the pull myself.
But I’ve also found the antidote.
🌟 Joy, Prayer, and Meditation: My Liberation Toolkit
At a blessed 73 years here on Earth, I’ve learned that healing doesn’t come from stupid—it comes from spirit. I use joy, prayer, and meditation to break the chains of mental captivity. These practices reconnect me to something deeper than dopamine hits or digital validation. They remind me that I am not a machine—I am a soul. So are you.
And when I dance to En Vogue’s Free Your Mind, and other liberation tunes, I feel truth in my bones. We have the answers. That song isn’t just a groove—it’s a declaration: “Free your mind and the rest will follow…”
It’s a reminder that liberation begins within. Let's reclaim our rhythm, our breath, our wildness. Leave no living being behind.
Rewilding and re-wiring our Future: A Call to Action
We can’t afford to become Eloi, though the evidence is obvious shows we already have. The USA government is snatching people off the streets, shooting priests and others for money, we must act now, non-violently and wisely.
That means:
Rewilding our environments—through regenerative design, 3D Printing, nature-based living, and sacred architecture. Use clean & safe energies, magnetic, graphene, solar, hydro...
Restoring community—through storytelling, legacy, and shared purpose.
Reclaiming agency—by choosing joy over numbness, presence over passivity.
Zoochosis is real. So is healing. And it begins with a choice. "Look Up!"
So I invite you to free your mind.
Dance to your favorite music, if only played in your head.
Pray to the Lord who made and is orbiting each of your protons, neutrons and electrons around their assigned nucleus, configures them plus assigns a controlling spirit.
Meditate, be quiet and listen to your what Niro Markoff calls "Your Healer Within".
Build sanctuaries - FOOL FREE ZONE - where you are free to live your joy, even if it's just the success of another breath.
Share stories.
And remember: the future isn’t written yet. We get to shape it. JOY!
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.
