The Future of Innovation and Technology has Already been Figured Out by Nature One Million Years Ago
I’ll say it again:
The future of innovation and technology has already been figured out by nature one million years ago.

Fukushima Radiation and the End of Life as We Know It
OMG … What have we done to ourselves and our children’s future?!
Most of us think the nightmare of Fukushima’s nuclear power towers is over, but it has only just begun. Do not feed your family Pacific Ocean fish, ever again.
The blindness of our so-called intelligent experts, and the complacency of us as citizens, has now placed humanity in an accelerated breakdown of the planet’s life system. And it is continuing to get worse. Only this time it is affecting not just the environment, but us as well – Human Beings DIRECTLY. Scientists are warning the greatest risk to humanity, right now today, is coming from Fukushima’s fuel pools.
Even with the Fukushima nightmare happening, are you aware of how many more nuclear plants are being readied for development right now? Why, after a series of major incidents over the years, do we still continue to allow nuclear energy? Feel the fear of our foolishness – Feel it to your core. Because the upwelling of that fear may be the only thing that can enable us to act out against the horror of nuclear energy. With tears in my eyes I ask you to read more on the data being gathered. Here is a list of 28 signs that prove the U.S. West Coast is getting radiated.
Watch the videos below. You have every right to feel terrified as you watch. Let that fear help us to act on what we can today, not tomorrow. Although it may already be too late for us and for many generations to come, please take the initiative to act. Find ways to STOP putting any more radiation into our world.
Sustainability Reporting as Anchor for Innovation
The emerging ‘sustainability reporting’ movement has begun and is growing in leaps and bounds. This process can be much more than a way to report how a company is doing regarding sustainability. More so, it becomes the anchoring point for defining what and how new forms of innovation witll emerge within the organization. Sound strategic methods for managing and accessing sustainability reporting information will become crucial for generating ‘whole system’ innovation within and across organizations.

From GRI (Global Reporting Initiative)
Sustainability reports are produced in so many different formats – hardcopy, web based, PDFs and others – that it is sometimes hard to immediately find the data you’re looking for. Common application of the XBRL taxonomy will change this and means information can quickly and effortlessly be exchanged.

Innovation is blinded by our assumptions
In this IONS audio, “Unexplained Mystery of Spontaneous Remission” with Brendan O’Regan, it explicitly describes how we suppress innovation by two things: 1- our assumptions and beliefs, that are founded in our education, that filters out and rationalizes outcomes that do not fit expected norms, and 2- our lack of choosing to study unexplained phenomena. For example, the medical world carries the most unexplained healings that no one has studied. Why is that? These strange outcomes, which are not in control of the doctor or whoever is supposedly in charge, seem to be exposing how selfish egos are more important than allowing the healing to happen. This is a prime example of the suppression of innovation and the permission to discover.
