[GMW #3745] Let Politicians And Social Leaders Become Global Social Engineers

[GMW #3745] Let Politicians And Social Leaders Become Global Social Engineers Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4140 ~
We humans are able to produce thousands of perfectly running airplanes which have seldom any accidents due to malfunctioning.

How come that we do not have a similarly perfectly running human society which would seldom have accidents such as wars, dictatorships, terrorism and revolutions?

It is because we have not devoted the same will, time, talents and resources to it. It is not considered a fundamental primordial objective of the human species of today. Also, the nation, not the world and humanity is the primary concern.

Let us do it. Let politicians and social leaders become global social engineers and obtain a perfectly run, peaceful, accident-free, cooperating human family in perfect union with the Earth of which we are part.

How exciting that would be!

The sage has discovered his nature,
your nature and the common nature of all humans. 

The sage shows you with a smile and
a few words how to
be most happily, most fully yourself.

[GMW #3744] Align With Nature So The Human Species Can Live


[GMW #3744] Align With Nature So The Human Species Can Live  Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4139 ~
The Earth: "Dear Robert, ask your wife Barbara to get for you the text of a news release from Canada on the diminishing fertility of human males in the world. It will interest you.

Here is that release: The Montreal Gazette 4 July 2001 Scientists from around the world are alarmed by a dramatic increase in genetically damaged human sperm - a trend that is not only causing infertility in men, but also childhood cancers in the offspring of those who can reproduce. It is now estimated that up to 85% of the sperm produced by a healthy male is DNA - damaged, a leading authority on the subject revealed yesterday at an international conference being held in Montreal. "That is very unusual," said John Aitken, head of biological sciences at the University of Newcastle in Australia. "If you were to take a rat or a mouse or a rabbit, usually more than 80% of their sperm would be normal." For the last 20 years, scientists have known about declining sperm counts. But researchers are now learning that the quality of human sperm is steadily eroding, and might be causing birth defects as well as brain cancer and leukemia in children. Abnormal sperm is also being blamed for a global increase in testicular cancer - a disease that strikes men in their 30's. Scientists believe that when a DNA-damaged sperm fertilizes a woman's egg, it can trigger a mutation of a key gene in the embryo. And even if men today can reproduce, their damaged sperm might lead to infertility in their male progeny, Aitken suggested. "You are likely to see lots of diseases that are related to poorer semen quality."

Scientists suspect a wide range of environmental causes for the abnormal sperm - from exposure to pesticides and heavy metals to electromagnetic radiation. "We are all exposed to 10 times more electromagnetic radiation than our forefathers," Aitken said. "It's all the electrical appliances we use, including microwave phones." There is a consensus in the scientific community that men who smoke cause damage to their sperm, and that this might be responsible for childhood cancers. "If you are a man and you smoke, your semen profile won't be obviously affected," Aitken said. "You will still have lots of sperm swimming around and you will be fertile. But the DNA in your sperm nucleus will be fragmented." The average ejaculate of human sperm contains 80 million spermatozoa, each genetically programmed to fertilize a woman's egg. Scientists examining human sperm have discovered that not only are sperm counts on the decline, but that the vast majority of sperm is sluggish, poorly structured, their DNA fragmented and that they generate a lot of cellular waste called free radicals.

"Generally speaking, everything is bad with the sperm," Aitken said. Fortunately for most couples, it is the undamaged or least damaged sperm that tends to fertilize the egg. As a result of increasing male infertility, scientists have developed a new technique to help couples conceive. It is called Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). In the lab, a technologist will take from the would be father a single sperm, or even a cell that is on its way to becoming a sperm, and fertilize it in the test tube with the woman's egg. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the woman's uterus. Dr. Keith Jarvi, of the University of Toronto-Mount Sinai Hospital, said the ICSI technique has revolutionized the treatment of male infertility. But he wondered about the health outcome of the ICSI children. That human sperm is of poorer quality than that of other mammals is not surprising. The human species is the only one that wears clothes, and healthy sperm need to be kept a couple of degrees cooler than the full body temperature. But clothing alone is not responsible for the extent of abnormal human sperm, Aitken argued." More than 130 scientists did attend the Conference on Male-Mediated Developmental Toxicity.

I: Well, dear Earth that is in the same line as what I reported in Idea 3104 from Denmark.

Perhaps it is normal that when a species on your surface proliferates to an unnatural degree a phenomenon intervenes which puts an end to that proliferation and possibly to the end of that species. The human species does nowadays so much damage and wrong to you that it might mean the beginning of its end.

What a blessing it was to be appointed in my advanced, optimum, richest age one-dollar-a-year Chancellor Emeritus of the first University for Peace on this planet!  What a crowning of my life that was and what a wonderful prospect it is to be buried in one of the first demilitarized countries on Earth!  Here my beloved wife and I can really rest in peace!

[GMW #3743] The Christian Democrat Roots Of The European Union Were Erased


[GMW #3743] The Christian Democrat Roots Of The European Union Were Erased Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4138 ~
Robert Schuman from my region of Alsace-Lorraine who was the main founder of the European Union once told me that that union could not have been created if there had not been three Christian Democrats in leading political positions in France, Germany and Italy, namely himself as Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, Konrad Adenauer as Prime Minister of Germany and Alcide de Gasperi, as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy.

Well, from a recent report of the institute devoted to the memory of Robert Schuman I learned with dismay that in the preamble of the European constitution the mention of the Christian roots of the European Union were deleted! How small the minds of some people can be!

Each person on Earth should have a guru (teacher), a master, a sage, a confessor, a spiritual person to talk to, to turn to for advice. The function of guru should be adopted world-wide. Wise elderly guides should become gurus. The teaching of wisdom should be the main function of the third age, or age of vanaprashta, the "preparation for the beyond".

[GMW #3742] What Is Our Second Nature When We Are In A Car?


[GMW #3742] What Is Our Second Nature When We Are In A Car? Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4137 ~
A French saying of these days: "cela devient une deuxième nature d' être dans une voiture." It becomes a second nature to be in a car. This statement merits a lot of reflection. What is indeed our second nature when we are in a car?

The role of grandparents in the development of children and transmission of the wisdom of life, especially through story-telling, is of paramount importance.  Some of the greatest lessons in my life I received from my only grandparent alive, my grandfather the hatmaker. 

Today, many more children have the benefit of their grandparents, due to increased longevity.  They should be happy and grateful and take full advantage of it. 

A grandparent is alive and a blessing. 

Television is not.

[GMW #3741] Reduce Business Ads, Increase Ads For Social Justice, Better Earth Management


[GMW #3741] Reduce Business Ads, Increase Ads For Social Justice, Better Earth Management Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4136 ~
You might say: the best way to get a better world would be for people to stop having ideas or having less of them. Yes and no. Yes. The flood of ideas which should be drastically reduced comes from business, marketing, advertisement and the media which are to a large degree built on having constantly new, innumerable ideas, products and customers. No. Ideas for more social equity, justice and a better management of the Earth and her resources are on the contrary insufficient and should be substantially increased. Alas, most people do not care to have ideas because they are convinced that they will not be heard anyway.

Humanity had an International Year of the Child, an International Year of Youth, a World Assembly on Aging and an International Year of Older Persons, four World Conferences on Women, an International Year of the Handicapped, and an International Year of the Family.  Humanity still needs international years and/or conferences on marriage, motherhood, grandparents, retirement, death and the beyond.
