Just a though to remove smog, could be far fetched but what the heck. Some type of nano tech, a nano net if you will, that is polarized to attracted particles in smog. The nano net could be held by two large planes or whatever, taking it through polluted areas and the smog could be taken to the ocean, where natural weather systems would alleviate smog. I know it is a dream. Had the idea for a while now, it is in the ether. Hope some one runs with it.

I am in total agreement with this post that academia is a horribly inflexible, limiting and archaic model in an internetworked age. I'm running up against this right now as I begin applying to PhD programs -- I see no reason why I can't do research from where I am with others all over the globe using the internet, and thereby "routing around" the entire university system. Unfortunately, as a practical matter I need to eat, so to get funding to do research seems to require that I play by the rules of the academic game. So this is where the new paradigm fails -- there needs to be a system for distributing funds to researchers that doesn't go through academic channels. I'm ready to be the first test case -- would anyone like to support my net-centric research (quantitative studies of emergent intelligence, the global brain, semantic/data mining, complex systems and the like)?
Please contact me at seanctaylor1@gmail.com if anyone has any suggestions. |

ECONOMIC IS NOT PHYSICS. ALL THE MATHEMATICALLY CONSISTENT MODELS IN THE WORLD, MEAN LITTLE IF THEY ARE NOT EXTERNALLY VALID IN ADDRESSING REAL WORLD PROBLEMS.
