i have not looked and verified at the exact numbers i tend to believe is true

all the forest that was in the 15 century is half the forest today

a study case - the wide crop/ grains gathering tractor that has increased the quantity of production
because the size is wide and favors flat surfaces this might have also favored deforstation
tractor
what if this is being reinvented to handle crop inside forest, i mean the wide spread field crops should be mixed with forests and the tractor redesigned to go agile between trees

forest capture carbon and brings rains
this project is a proposal for plantation of a trillion tree
https://trilliontrees.org/
i think is an emergency to plant trees (entire new forests)

    Thank you for the links. interesting idea. The vast monoculures of crops may not be if the forest is designed toproduces, with spatiaL and temporal, intercropping, anple food of other kinds.

      It is maybe time to act , we have many global problems to solve,the conflicts of interests , the climate change, the number of humans on earth, the psychology , lost of global ecosystems on earth and in the oceans , pollutions of soils, oceans and atmosphere, problems of waters and recyclings, vegetal global biomass, productions of food, mutations and adaptations of diseases...........it is now very very serious more the actual problems that we have and possible dangers also due to AI, cyberwars and ideological economical problems, frankly what do the UN and the high spheres of power, we are going to have chaotical exponentials soon. It is more than sad because the solutions exist to improve all on earth for better lifes for the animals and vegetals , our potential is there but we don t do it, we can utilise the money like an energy and stabilise many things with the consciousness and adapated solutions but no it is not made.

        Georgina Woodward thanks for sharing Georgina, It is so important this global ecology , the fact to plant trees and also the improvements of ecosystems with many studied plans of vegetals and also the composting and reinsertion of this compost in the soils with argilo humic complex if argils are there , the food chains begins also with thismicro biology of animals , fungis, vegetals of this compost and after with ecosystems studied with trees, we harmonise with a diversity of plants and flowers to atract the other animals . In the oceans also we must act and the method of multiplication is correlated with different technics, The humans we must understand that we cannot reach the points of equilibrium without a revolutionary global improved ecology, all governements must take their responsabilities in fact and a town like new york can also focus on better ecologies and show the example, the parks are not sufficient. In all cases it is possible, the compost is easy to do with the carbon and natrium from the vegetals and the multiplication of vegetals also and after the animals multiplicate themselves if the ecosystens are well made with a good diversity of trees, small trees, shrubs, perennials, flowers......at my humble opinion it must be a priority of the UN these soils, ecologies,and oceans. Regards

            Answer to Tim Maudlin on facebook about the nuclear threats.

            It is a general point of vue linking the comportements, but indeed we can analyse the details with the politics and these nuclear strategies. I agree that the experts are better to extrapolate this than these politicians if the consciousness of course is correlated, but we must accept also the reality about the conflicts of interest and the business of arms and weapons and the disuasion globally speaking. The USA and its nuclear weapons strategy is primarily focused on deterrenceto prevent adversaries like a nuclear retaliation and it is very important for the politicians and the international relations if I can say , they have partners and the deterrence of nuclear attacks is a kind of priority for the USA and its allies and the consciousness d tell them that it is only in extreme circumstances, it is there that the theory of game of von neunman becomes relevant about the disuasion to keep the vital interests of all countries .They so all update their strategies in udas like in the other countries like russia or china and others. The nuclear threats are mainly global international political and startegic goals to reasure the allies and deter the adversaries, they all make this and the business of arms and weapons and researchs profit of this situation.The diplomatic efforts are important but are just a part of the strategies, so the arms control and non proliferations are a complex topic generally speaking , because the military capability , the diplomatic relations,the global security is one thing but the business , the conflicts or interest, the differences in ideologies an other and if we insert the psychology and the past of humans on this earth, so we understand better the complexity . Hope the consciousness universal in the future will permit a better global collective consciousness with less differences, the UN has a big responsability with the high spheres of power . During that several plant seeds , others utilise phytopharmaceutical products if you understand what I mean....regards

            The USA has created a thing that a few number are able to understand and accept, they have given this AI but they have it since many years and they have even maybe created a thing more than just a superintelligence , IBM ,openAi, darpa and others have paid the best scientists, researchers and genius since many years focusing on technologies and maths , physics and computing problems and they have reached levels beyond the human accpetation, that is why they cannot tell it due to the human psychology , but be sure the world is going to change and not a little bit!

            Maybe not still this consciousness but intriguing for the exponential technologies and the evolution, and if the panpsychism , the pantheism and materialism are linked for specific quantum mechanisms and that all is conscious at its level, so it becomes more than intriguing, the world yes is going to change but we don t know the effects and it becomes an ethical problem , this thing can help but can also imply serious problems , furthermore there is an other global problem about the conflicts of interest and the competition in this capitalism,hope the high spheres of power can find the points of equilibrium, I have created a forum on fqxI , Global collaboration to unite and create global adapted solutions and convice the UN, the high spheres of power, but the problem is that we are not governed by the wisest humans , it is the money wich govern and the richest, the billionaires are even secretaries at this UN and all these richest want to keep the power and interets. so they don t really listen to the general thinkers seeing clear , we are arrived at a critical point of evolution for the earth and the humanity, it is now that we must find the best adapations for the well of all lifes of this Earth,
            The power of this technology is intriguing . And the world is not governed by the wisest humans, so it can be in the hands of several systems and that is why we can have this WW3 because others countries know that it is not possible to compete. Like I told the conflicts of interest are an important point to consider and we know all that we are not governed by the these most wise and universal humans and systems, The Power and this money have always been a problem creating these conflicts, I hope that this UN is going to be concrete and wise and find the best adapted solutions , we are all humans on the same earth afer all and we have the possibilities to improve many things for the well of all lifes animal and vegetal of this Earth it is just choice, we speak about the consciousness, the intelligence, the choices here on FQXi, but generally and globally also it is important to utilise this intelligence, consciousness to take the good choices ....

            This cryptomonney industry intrigues me, it seems that when it is concrete the societies creating the token like bitcoin, ethereum, xrp, stellar and others so it can permits to make the persons more rich and so if they are responsible and universal, so they can create jobs and help this planet and lifes. It is a significant financial revolution because it can change the interactions between individuals and business with the money and so increase the opportunities. That improves the economical freedom.

            Now if the universal altruism is part of this revolution it will be a wonderful parameter for this evolutive earth. The fact that it is decentralised and in full exponetial expansions is excellent if the responsability of persons becoming more rich is a reality.
            The system created with the DeFi and their protocols is very relevant because it permits mainly a democratization of financial opportunities. It is also important to consider the financial inclusion beause with internet and this crypto revolution, so it can even permits to trade this crypto and make gains without banks in the lost regions.

            It will improve the cross border payments without the traditional financial system. And even it can be cheaper and faster. That is a pure economic freedom .So that will help the developping countries. It is well so it is decentralized without being controlled by governments and institutions. That permits more controls for individuals simply .
            Furthermore , the security and privacy are imporved also compared with the traditional payment systems centralized. And it permits also a kind of protection against the devaluation even if it is very volatil . So yes it will help the planet is it is well utilised in being responsible and universal and altruist.
            That will boost the entrepreneurial projects, the social causes, the charitable organizations, the environmental movements, and this and that.
            Even if the mining has an impact on the environment due to the PoW systems and cost a lot of electricity , so create carbon emissions, paradoxally it gives more money to balance these negative effects and find solutions with this universal altruism of entrepreneurs improving the world. There are probably alternatives to this PoW for less energetical costs and less wastes , ethereum I believe work about this with their Proof of Stake PoS wich cost less energy and others focus on greem and sustainable initiatives.

            Hi all, we are arrived at a critical point of evolution on this planet earth with the technology, sciences, economy, politics,conflicts of interest . The cryptomonneys industry and artifical intelligence and robotics have reached a level and the conflicts become very very dangerous for the humanity like a whole.

            The UN are lets tell it lost with these parameters and unfortunatelly the power is not in the hands of the most wise humans, definitelly not it is a fact . We have actually the potential to improve this earth and the qualities of all lifes of this earth., animal and vegetal but these conflicts can destroy this natural evolution.

            The humans have created many different groups and we are not unified simply . A very few number understands this unifiation and pure universal altruism , they prefer their interests and wills and it is a very very important point , Us in europe and usa, we are the west and we have our past and we are considered by the others like imperialist systems and it continues with these new technologies and monney exchanges , and frankly the others are not going to accept because simply they cannot compete, they have not built their societies in the same way, they cannot acept and adapt, they have even not the choice, they cannot find their ways, they cannot built their pots .

            So the real question is , it is not a reason at my humble opinion to create a WW3 tp solve this .......because if the power was in the hands of wise humans everywhere , they could find the roads of harmonisations , but this force created with AI, internet, robotics, cryptomonney have reached a so powerfull level that it is a problem , it is overwhelming for the global humanity, and increase so the tensions and conflicts , it is very simple . So the only one aim to create a WW3 is to run over this reality, are you all consious of this , the world we know is a phasis of transition and is lost and is going to change radically, the problem is this phasis of changement, it takes time and the war is not the solution simply, there are other better solutions,.

            I fear really because we must absolutelly create something new , a new step of evultion with concrete adapted solutions but we cannot choose this ww3 for this new evolution, it will bea catastrophe. The omplexity is better than the simplicity, the simplicity is the war and is not the best solution. We are one, we are all linked on this earth, we are one humanity, even the religious extremists, even the unconscious capatilsts, even the most ideologial sociolists and communists, so please dear high spheres of power, don t listen the bad words and solutions , don t choose the easy way. We increase quickly in number, we evolve very quickly ands they exist these solutions of adapation and all we can be in a win win instead to have a big fight destroying all and a big part of this humanity, we are going to simply destroy ourselves and even our inventions and technologies, we don t need this. The richest like the poorest, we don t simply need this. Everybody has only one vote , it is maybe simplistic but concrete......

            This RLUSD stable coin and xrp and bitcoin and ethereum , the people must be conscious of what happens for the new global economical system obliging the banks and institutional systems to buy the XRP , if they don t buy it , they cannot work and they shall be outdated , this xrp is going to explode and ripple and trump have had a dinner together for this, don t forget they had still in stock 47 billions of XRP ........they have given probably to the trump administration a big part and in the same trump open the roads for xrp and solve the probels with the SEC .....are the other countries and institutions , governments and banks accept this if the price of this XRP explode, they are obliged to buy it but the majority is in the wallet of USA ........me I want well but all is ok for all , or WW3

              Steve Dufourny a solution for me is simple and can help the poorest countries, if ripple has given to the usa a stock of xrp because they have 43 billions still not circulating, so they can share with the porrest and other countries and keep a majority , and so like this, if the price explodes , all they win , but I don t know how yemen, adu dabi , china, india and other countries of africa are going to accept and poutine .......an other point is that they must have also the tool to be part of the system, they are obliged also to have the technology to buy it like coinbase or binance .....and internet and xrp , it is complex and simple, it must work .

                This reasoning touches the current technological landscape and the impact of the AI, Blockchain,and cryptocurrencies, the specalutions are open and we must find the cooperations instead of conflicts simply, .The geopolitic becomes so essential and the USA and CHINA must absolutelly with the UN and EU must work together , the china and EU are investing in all this , they develop their own systems ,so the cooperation is possible where all they find their interests and stabilities in finding the best ways, the hegemony cannot be a reality simply .The number of players is important and so the outsomes also , and so the cooperation or competition are a reality but the conflicts are good for nobody. We annot oversimplificate with 2 solutions, conflicts or cooperations but if the ideologies are in the games and power, it is a problem ,.

                I believe that the best way is to disrupt the existing not stable and universal power structures, The adaptation of win win for all is the best way with concrete regulations. Nobody wants the WW3 and but if the economical and trade wars increase with the ideologies in the game, it is not good.

                It is about ethics and AI and cryptocurrencies regulations mainly., the aim is the wealth creation and economic empowerment the most important and the fact to accept the decentralisations. the aim is to imporve the individual lifes and and reduce barriers and imply better efficient transactions and services. It cannot be so hegemonies and and if it is in the hands of too much wealthy and large corporations and powerfull nations , the most important is the distributions of the wealth and its harmonisation.

                It is this universal altruism the key and the transparence and securities and win win for all the essential. The challenges are there and the ethical adaptations must be aligned with the human values and its evolution. The road of reason is better than the road of divisions , so yes the global collaborations are the way towards the points of equilibrium,The peace is the key , all stakeholders must work together with responsability and equitability.
                The USA must be wise possessing the most advanced systems and cannot be a hegemony .It is the phasis actual the most important to adapt .to shape this future correctly.Nobody needs this WW3 for conflicts or interests we evolve and it is well like this

                "... the world is more threatened by those who tolerate evil or encourage it than by the evildoers themselves."

                What is your field of expertise?

                    William Robson Hi, I have not really fields of expertise, I like that said the generality of sciences and study a lot each days, maybe I have a humble field of expertise for the production of plants like it is a passion, I test the substrates with natural adds like the compost , the argilo humic complex, the mineral salts, the oligo elements, perlit, vermicult.....

                    For the words that you have written about the evil and evildoers, I know indeed the earth and the human compotments and lack of universalism and universal love, this vanity also is an enormous problem. During that some plants the good seeds, others destroy the plants , but we evolve also .Regards

                      William Robson I believe strongly that when we can, we must act or in all the cases try to do something to improve what we can improve in respecting the universal foundamental laws. That is why I have created this group but not easy to unite and convice because the humans are occupied with their lifes and interests. They always prefer to be followed than to follow. They exist these solutions for the well of this earth and all lifes, animal and vegetal.

                        The USA has made what I wanted to create here on FQXi, The world is going to change and not a little bit , there are 2 roads, not 3 , they accept or they dont .The problem is not Putin, but china and Iran and the muslim world, the technologies invented by USA for the military power, the AI power, the economical power with this crypto imply 2 roads, all wins or they don t accept .All wins or all looses ......I hope all will be a success of win win for all with this xrp crypto and the X strategy of elon Musk and the everything app. Musk and Trump are just persons public but the USA government has created all this in centralising the aspergers and genius on the silicon valley since many years and now all is ready to activate the procedure for the new world. They accept the others in this theory of game of Von Neummann with the points of equilibriumm of win win for all or they don t and it is a catastrophe for the world we know military speaking in this game.....The wisdom and the consciousness is mainly this, to take the good choice for the well of all simply.....
