Mystery of Life
Sunday Ramble
School days have restarted here in Peru — summer break is over. I suspect that’s confusing since most of my readers are in the northern hemisphere looking forward to spring. But here in the southern hemisphere, it’s almost fall. Not that it matters much in the jungle, where the rainy season is the only one to mix it up a bit. The upside to starting school is more peace during work hours, which is also the downside — the office disruptions from a 3-year-old weren’t the worst ever.
The world certainly isn’t quiet right now. And I’ve slowly become convinced over the last year that’s by design. The designs of one Klaus Schwab and his henchmen at the WEF. “Eeek!! You’re treading into conspiracy territory!!” I can hear my readers thinking. No, not really, since there’s nothing closed and conspiratorial about it. But it has been a topic I’ve been reticent to touch for some time. Why? Because it’s such a dastardly idea that it hurts my head to consider it valid. So what am I talking about? I’d rather demonstrate this one than write it up by sharing this satirical piece by JP Sears:
The WEF, known as the World Economic Forum, was founded by Klaus Schwab in 1971 and currently has around 1,000 members — most of which are companies with more than $5B in annual turnover. Quoting directly from Wikipedia, here is the aim of the organization:
The Forum suggests that a globalised world is best managed by a self-selected coalition of multinational corporations, governments and civil society organizations (CSOs),[5][6] which it expresses through initiatives like the "Great Reset"[7] and the "Global Redesign".[8] It sees periods of global instability – such as the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic – as windows of opportunity to intensify its programmatic efforts.[9]
If you watched the video above and have not heard about Klaus and the WEF, you may be shaking a bit. But it’s right there hiding in plain sight for the entire world to see — the desire to recreate both humans our society in a directed way. It’s the age-old “let’s play God” ego trip playing out — one that would make Pinky and the Brain blush with envy.
What cuts me to the quick is the WEF’s desire to have us surrender our sovereign genetic control to a centralized authority — no vote from us plebs. Over the years of working with plant medicines, I’ve become convinced that science will eventually discover that our DNA contains the footprints of our souls. At present more than 75% of our genetic material has been labeled as “junk.” I find it highly perplexing how nature leaves nothing useless in existence — anywhere at all — but in our DNA, 75% of it is. Pioneering into the unknown to make it known has been a part of our heritage since tribal peoples crossed the Pacific in small boats to settle the Americas. I don’t expect it’ll be any different regarding our DNA.
Instead of having the audacity to admit we should probably spend a lot more time understanding our DNA before doing anything to alter it since we’re almost certain to be wrong about our own genome at this point, the WEF is going full steam ahead with plans to alter every single person’s genome in the not-so-distant future. Am I the only one that finds it abhorrent that the most powerful humans on the planet want the global population to turn its back on its millions of years of evolutionary heritage? And it’s a group of unelected officials who are not just pushing this idea but putting plans in place to enact it?
It’s one thing to genetically modify our foods without knowing the multi-generational impacts. However, it’s quite another to alter our genetics today when we still consider most of our DNA junk. Even the famous line that mRNA treatments don’t affect DNA may not be accurate. The desire to play god doesn’t have a good track record. Life has a funny way of doing what it does — we have gotten this far trusting it. Isn’t it best to let the mystery of life continue to unfold instead of thinking we can outsmart it?

Bitcoin Price Prediction
Weekly Range: $28k - $44k
Bitcoin uneventfully closed the week at $38.8k, leaving the $36k to $44k range I mentioned last week intact. In all likelihood, I expect more of the same this next week. While there continue to be decent odds of a breakdown to the low $30k region, those odds are decreasing as the bulls continue to heavily defend the area around $38k. I’m continuing to look for a weekly close below $36k or over $44k to get excited about a new trend emerging. Without either of those events occurring, we’re likely to see continued chop.
Bitcoin Q & A
Q: What’s the best way to offset my Bitcoin’s carbon footprint?
A: Through clean Bitcoin mining.
By dividing the total energy securing the Bitcoin network by the 19M bitcoin in circulation, the energy footprint of a single bitcoin can be calculated. At present, that works out to roughly 800W per bitcoin. Since the network is already 58% carbon neutral, that means that you would need to offset 336W of the energy securing each of your bitcoin through clean mining. That translates into roughly one mining rig per 10 bitcoin.
If you’d like to green your Bitcoin, Sazmining is currently the only company in the world to offer an accessible way to do so. Did I mention you earn more bitcoin for greening your current holdings? Head on over and join the waitlist if you’re interested.
