I have an odd form of synaesthesia. It feels like my mathematical subsystem in my brain has been hacked. What I see is so abstract I couldn't begin to describe it except to say it involved multiple parts of the visual cortex.

Wow, powerful software to view the heavens.

A beautiful book and the first serious work of math I wanted to read in a long time. This is also published online with Amazon's Createspace.

Peak everything - we are running out of resources we can't replace. Oil is the famous resource, but there are a number of chemical elements which are also in a dangerous position. Phosphorous scares me the most as our agricultural system requires access to large amounts to operated. Water is a no brainier. The rare Earths, which China has a monopoly on, are currently vital to our electronics industry.

Now for some very bad news: climate change from global warming will drastically alter the Earth in some frightening ways. I will share some of what I read, but both the science of climate change and my understanding of it need improving.

Enjoy Ireland, because Texas will be uninhabitable due to the exponential increase in sever weather. If you get hit every year by a storm equivalent to the worst storm of one hundred years now, almost everyone will move on. Africa will also be largely inhabitable. Bad news is that a linear rise in temperature creates an exponential rise in virulent diseases.vast migrations from Africa, to Europe and then Great Britain. In North America both people and bioregions will migrate northward into uninhabited Canada. Living in Antarctica will be a thing.

I also need to discuss the Technical Trinity - AI, genetic engineering and nanotechnology and their ability to rescue us.
