“… The knowable measure, in principle, of the difference between man and all among the lower forms of life, is found in what has been usefully regarded as the naturally upward evolution of the human species, in contrast to all other known categories of living species. The standard of measurement of these compared relationships, is that mankind is enabled to evolve upward, and that categorically, by those voluntarily noëtic powers of the human individual will.
“Except when mankind appears in a morally and physically degenerate state of behavior, such as within the cultures of the tyrants Zeus, the Roman Empire, and the British empire, presently: all actually sane cultures of mankind, have appeared, this far, in a certain fact of evolutionary progress from the quality of an inferior, to a superior species. This, when considered in terms of efficient effects, corresponds, within the domain of a living human practice of chemistry, to a form of systemic advances, even now leaps, in the chemical energy-flux density of society’s increase of the effective energy-flux-density of scientific and comparable expressions of leaps in progress of the species itself: in short, a universal physical principle of human progress….”

A Note To Readers
The media this week exploded with alarming headlines that California is in another drought. Ho hum. I think we have noticed that some time ago. What is interesting in the coverage is that the first calls for water rationing are now appearing. Though both major projects a couple of weeks ago announced that the water allocations from the Bureau of Reclamation’s Central Valley Project, and from the California Department of Water Resources, the California Water Project announced that contractors would only receive 5% of their requested allocations this year.
A smorgasbord of items and articles below provide coverage of what some at least, are labeling a mega drought now engulfing the entire southwest of the nation.
Infrastructure is front page nationally this week as the Avatar President announced his version of the Democrats “Green New Deal.”
Contrary to such delusions and a damn dangerous focus of the Biden plan, only an infrastructure policy that is designed to shift the productive power of the economy and work force to a new platform of advanced technology and science, can rescue the nation from the consequences of pouring hundreds of billions into 14th century technologies like wind and solar. And since the Biden plan also has hundreds of billions for such economically negative investments into areas like insulating homes, electric cars and charging stations ($174 billion), and climate science, plus nothing for nuclear power, like Obama’s stimulus package in 2009, most will just be pissed away. The useful areas that the bill will fund are far outweighed by the disaster of the bill as a whole.
More coverage of the bill can be found below under the title, “Infrastructure.”
To provide some reality for readers this week we have extended excerpts from an article by my associate Brian Lantz, “Why the Oligarchy Hates the Atom: Nuclear Energy and Science,” as this week’s Feature.
We begin with the drought.
