IPOs: Man-Nature Partnership (Un)Limited

Best ideas are patented by nature!! So why cannot we reap the man-nature partnership to redress the planet’s sustainability issues. Four years back, my serious thought and deep passion for Earth’s future had led me to the root cause of all these global crises, the “Big-Bang”moment of rampant global woes: PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
All the activities are derivatives of subsets of process that are directly/indirectly dependent on photosynthetic activity. You may ask me “so what’s big deal? Isn’t for this that we say plant more trees? Yes that true,”But tell me how many of us are actually protecting trees let alone growing them. Tell me how many of us are imbibing green practices as part of our lifestyle; let alone Creating and spreading awareness? The question is not how much we have done but how much more to do and go. More over whatever we have done is not even dx (delta x). This is not to discard efforts of us who are actively doing something about it but to integrate our active awareness with a definite and lucrative model that adds to existing collective sustainability consciousness.
My answer is why stop there and why not question the answers and think bit further. My answer is, as Man always done, is to invent “that” or integrate technology with nature. Yes, solution is ARTIFICIAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Just imagine if we can achieve this artificial photosynthesis, we can solve 90% of the world’s problems. Imagine the future where we have photo-synthetic machines or systems or gadgets, which we can switch on at our will. That would be a terrific of inventions, isn’t it??!! So, how to do it?

1. Use genetics, molecular biology, nanotechnology, memetics and non-linear thinking:Corporations like IBM, GE, SAP, Microsoft, and Shell (ilk) should invest in this research. It not only boosts demand of sciences, technology, and college business but also gives returns million fold if invented. No need to tell the magnanimity of social responsibility you would have imparted. Creating employment, wealth and bettering society can never happen in a better time than this.
2. Design or invent an artificial p-syn in labs and in parallel, increase plants photosynthesis efficiency at least to 12% (that is doubling the existing maximum efficiency): Improve the structure of leaves, design of chlorophyll and make the process carbon-intensive and oxygen spewing.
3. After we invent functional artificial p-syn system and have evolutionized plants and algae as planned, imagine the emergence of markets for such products. Imagine the regulations and polices around it. Visualize a place in new version CARBON MARKETS (if it happens after 2012), it is equivalent of money-minter. How about selling such products to governments? Nations might trade OXYGEN where in we may be barons.

I believe, only if an idea or an activity has real monetary benefits, people (who are powerful and unlike) will take it seriously. All we have to do is sensationalize the sustainability and make it sexy b(u)y educating the people about its commercial proposition!!!!

Reason for writing this: I presented this idea, from my past, to participate in my company’s Genius: Innovative Idea Competition was chosen as the penultimate entry, i.e. top 1 innovation idea, followed by my other idea for 2nd place. Unfortunately, for the lack of functional model, my entries were removed two days before the event, who cares. Ideas rule the world and entrepreneurs integrate people, resources, technology, market and imaginations. I don’t have to be scientist, but I have vision and purpose. I am happy happy.

No Hidden Connections

There are no hidden connections. Everything is crystal clear.

Once blue and living oblate spheroid, is now black, red and is ready for its own mourning. Human population is burgeoning, natural resource are depleted, pollution is rampant, inequality is widening, countries are locking horns, people are at each other throats, ubiquitous fallacy of growth and development, unsustainable modernization and uncontained globalization, communal terrors, natural calamities, man sponsored widespread diseases, haaaa....Never has been in the Earth's history or Mankind's history, state was so horrific dangerous and decadent. In spite of unimaginable growth in terms of science, technology, economics and education, our world is in dire straits. Or is it because of science, technology, economics and education. I understand that every invention has both promising as well as dark side. Be it a invention like "human organization" such as community, religion or statehood; be it a scientific advancement such as energy conversion, resource usage or communication revolution or societal leaps such as invention of culture, agriculture or trade systems.

But, is it not our tacit responsibility to accept risks when we embrace benefits of any concept or idea?? Is it not a thing of common sense to mitigate or address the negative impacts while you reap the benign fruits?? Is it not human to temper our passions and hedonism with wisdom?? Is it not our moral or ethical obligation to think at least about state of human life and global situation, let alone doing your mite for betterment??

When I'm spending 12K for a pair of sunglasses, there are people dying of diseases because they cannot afford medicine that costs 1200. When I earn in terms of thousands even when I'm on leave why is it there are so many people who toil day in and day out just for 100 even when they are sick? When I'm relishing exotic cuisine from Cuba and China in a posh restaurant in India and totally safe from...people are dying because of starvation, communal & ethnic warfare, and state policies. Why is it when I can blog in 5 languages, millions of people barely read or know a single word in any language. Why are so many females missing, why is this global social warming, why is it some idiots haughtily not sign Kyoto protocol and squander fuel and earth’s resources...without sparing a thought for thousands of innocents getting deluged by floods? Whys go on.... are endless.

My mind suffers unimaginable pain to accept thoughts such as "Randomness" "Karma" "Luck" "Fate" "Destiny" or "Nihilism" as plausible answers or reasons. I don’t deny the fact that every reality has a factor of "unknown element" but I clearly know the reasons, causes and conditions out of which THESE emerge. I see the CONNECTIONS.
Access to proper food and health, education (literacy), provision of employment and entitlement to equity and freedom will completely ensure the eradication of woes plaguing the vast majority of mankind.
Governments, welfare organizations, economic bodies, NGOs, and influential and empowered people can really make it happen. If they turn a blind eye or make-pretence deaf to their wailing & dying cries....as they have been doing these many years...then they would be consumed by the seething social cauldron sooner or later.

"The greatest tragedy of society is not trident clamour of the bad, but the appalling silence of the educated and the good."
