Scarcity or abundance
Scarcity or abundanceGale Pooley
油
Julian Simon argued that humanity's greatest resource is people, especially skilled and hopeful young people with liberty, who will continually improve living standards through innovation. While some may think conditions are worsening, Simon predicted that within a few centuries, most of humanity will achieve Western living standards due to ongoing progress. He believed that human ideas, not physical resources, create value and drive improvements by finding substitutes and using less of scarce goods.Latest Aspergillosis Research at NAC

Our initial idea was to film our extract in black and white, we were rather sceptical of this before our presentation as we weren't sure how our audience would recieve a film in black and white as there aren't many films in the modern age made in black and white but the feedback that we got from our teachers was very positive for our black and white idea and we have now decided to develope this idea and film it in black and white.
In our extract the majority of it is two characters sitting on a bench having a conversation when we presented this idea Mr. Alison pointed out that we have to be very careful on how we filmed it and we have to make sure that it is pleasing to the eye and that it looks like a real film and not just two people talking on a bench.
We were also advised that the extract would have to be written well in order for the story to make sense and for it to be interesting and last for two minutes.Daniel goodwin real estate law 150414

This document summarizes real estate laws in Saudi Arabia. It covers topics such as ownership restrictions (all land is owned by the Crown), the conveyancing process involving notary publics, lease requirements, off-plan sales regulations, and the new real estate mortgage law. Ownership is established through title deeds certified by notary publics. Leases do not need to be in writing but must comply with land use laws. Off-plan sales involve escrow accounts and developer licensing. The new mortgage law permits mortgages and their registration instead of property transfers as in traditional murabaha financing.Magnolia Residences @ New Manila Quezon City

The document is a transcript of the song "Starry, Starry Night" by Don McLean that describes various paintings by Vincent Van Gogh. The song discusses Van Gogh's life struggles with mental illness and his desire to express himself through his paintings of nature, including starry nights, fields of grain and flowers. It suggests that although Van Gogh's love for his art was true, the world was not ready to understand him and his love for art ultimately led to his suicide.374 9

This document discusses opioid analgesic agents and their use for pain management. It describes how opioids work by binding to receptors in the central nervous system and spinal cord to inhibit pain transmission. This allows opioids to provide effective relief for both acute and chronic pain. The document outlines different classifications of opioids and their mechanisms and side effects. It emphasizes the importance of proper nursing assessment, administration, and monitoring when patients are using opioid analgesics.Humanity presentations

The document discusses the role of religion and faith in human life. It provides quotes from Aldous Huxley's Brave New World that portray religion as a means of ideological manipulation and distraction from reality through soma. The document also mentions how religion can be a source of reliance for humans and cites an example of a large donation made to the Salvation Army. However, it notes that manipulation of religion has also been a catalyst for tension and violence. The role of religion is shown to be complex, with both positive and negative influences on humanity.Macro 6.pdf

The document discusses different perspectives on the relationship between population growth and resources. It describes Thomas Malthus' view that population grows exponentially while resources only grow arithmetically, eventually exceeding resources and resulting in checks like famine. Later, Esther Boserup argued that population pressure drives innovation to more productively use resources. Paul Ehrlich warned of overpopulation risks while Julian Simon believed human ingenuity allows indefinite resource growth. Their famous bet showed resource prices generally decreased by 1990, supporting Simon's view. Debates continue between those prioritizing resource limits versus those believing in human adaptation.Geography work on popuation and resources

際際滷s of the talk I've given 9 September in London at HDCA conference. Martha Nussbaums first capability starts with the following phrase intended to capture the most fundamental capability of human life: Being able to live to the end of a human life of normal length. Despite its top position on the list, this capability appears to be under analysed in the literature. In the current study we are trying to partly fill in the gap critically and also extend the approach with another angle of looking at human lifespan. Our conclusion is that the 1st capability should be reformulated as Being able to live a human life of acceptable length to incorporate our whole range of capabilities in terms of healthy longevity and lifespan, adjusted to the current scientific/technological trajectory.The Science and Ethics of Life Extension

It also covers evidence from calorie restriction experiments in mice and humans, Aubrey de Grey's 7 point plan to defeat aging, and predictions that robust human rejuvenation could be achieved within 15-100 years if research continues. Finally, it discusses donating to foundations researching life extension to help "kick-start the war on aging."More Related Content

Dr. Asad Zaman presented on Islamic approaches to sustainable development. He argued that the root cause of the current environmental crisis is the transformation to a consumer society driven by endless economic growth following the Industrial Revolution. This required changing minds to pursue wealth and consume excessively. Islam teaches living in harmony with nature and seeing property as a trust for society, not an absolute right. The solution is spiritual transformation - changing our goals from wealth and pleasure to spiritual growth. This involves cultivating contentment, excellence, community, and service to others and the planet.The human adventure is just beginning...
