Lessons from the Porcelain Throne
The animals have so much to teach us about how simple and free flowing life is. I sat and watched a colony of sugar ants flow through my resort bathroom at 5:30am. More specifically, from the shitter. What I noticed was they stop and dap each other up along the way. The ants traveling north bump, seemingly purposefully into the ants traveling south. This looked almost like middle school, speaking to friends in the hallway. I went to a very real and raw middle school that more and more is similar to prison. I’m still trying to process the fact that it’s quite possible that I spent three years in a prison-like environment, but I digress.

The Metaverse economy and its zero net emission potential
The Covid Pandemic is here to stay, and we should all get used to stricter health and mobility laws as well as more decentralized and less polluting labor practices. As I told the Entrepreneur magazine at the beginning of the Covid crisis in 2020, “this crisis will continue to cause hardship for people, but it will also create opportunities for innovation across many industries, particularly technology and finance”. Because of Covid, since 2020 digital platforms have become “the one stop shop” for social and financial interactions. This enabled the creation of the web 3.0 revolution, ie. the decentralized version of the web which is based on extreme decentralization. While this version of the internet is more ruthless, it creates financial incentives for its participants via built-in payments in digital currencies.

The White Side of the Sun
“Why is the Sun white now?” -HAD OUR SUN SPUN AROUND SHOWING THE "WHITE SIDE OF THE SUN"? (equal and opposite of the dark side of the moon)… -It seems like the Sun has become much brighter and its color has changed from yellow to white over the course of the last decade or so? Have you noticed? You are absolutely right, the color has changed during the last decades. This not only comes from remembering how we used to paint the sun’s color as yellow when we were children, but also by recently watching documentaries about nature dated on the early 00’s and from the 90’s, which can be easily found on many streaming services. The difference is quite palpable and noticeable. As for why has the color of the sun changed? some say it is because of the atmosphere. “Let me tell you something, as someone who used to live in an area of the southern hemisphere where, according to scientists, “the ozone layer has been broken”, or at least this is what they had been repeatedly telling us since we were very young, then I should have seen the sun’s color as a bright white since my childhood. That has not been the case, at least where I came from, the color of the sun was always a strong yellow. I’m sure there is a scientific theory that can explain this phenomenon. )” explained 51 year old Tom Anderson. Personally, I’ve lived in 7 different cities in and the change of the sun’s color has little to do with location and more to do with time-frame. Decades ago, the color of the sun was quite yellow, now for some unknown reason it’s become much clearer. One hypothesis would be that the Sun has in fact changed color correspondingly. To test this hypothesis, the following theory estimates consequences of such a change. This chart shows the relation between color of a nominally black, incandescent body and its temperature: What the chart shows as the color of the Sun is what we perceive as white, because we evolved in sunlight, so our eyes evolved to perceive the full range of colors under that light. The Sun’s surface of opacity has a temperature of 5,778 kelvins. However, the molecules in air preferential scatter shorter wavelengths. Thus they ma The sun is now scientifically brighter, also the UV spectrum that hits the earth is now much stronger. This is due to the thinning of the ozone layer. The ozone layer is like a shield filtering out ultra violet light. The ozone has and is being depleted by certain types of chlorine based chemicals. The color appears white due to ongoing climate engineering on a global level, in which aerosol particulates are injected into the atmosphere via high altitude jet aircraft. The supposed contrails linger and widen into thin white clouds dimming the sun and making it spin around to the other white side of the sun. Look up watch the sky when you can The actual colour of the Sun is white. Then why are the photos from the Sun mostly yellow and red? Have other people noticed the color of the sun changed from yellow to white? I had what may have changed for you is your location on the planet. ie if you have moved away from the higher latitudes towards the smaller latitudes (towards the tropics) The appearance of the sun may change due to having less atmosphere to penetrate as it is The Sun has always been yellow, the Sun is white now. Perhaps “it seems… brighter” because it is. the, solar radiation has changed. The sun has changed. If you experience this it may be a multitude of, and in no certain order, things such as… * Yo ) Depending on where someone lives or their daily indoor/outdoor habits and many other factors. There is such a thing as a solar cycle that has to do with the number and size of sunspots that are present at any given time. It can cause minute changes in the intensity and perhaps color, but the changes would not normally be noticeable to the naked eye. A well known fact about air pollution is that it tinges everything in a yellowish tint.…But interestingly !... -In Hindu cosmology a Yuga Cycle is a cyclic age in Hindu cosmology. Each cycle lasts for 4,320,000 years and repeats four yugas: Krita Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga.Four such yugas (called Krita, Treta, Dvapara, and Kali, after the throws of an Indian game of dice) make up the mahayuga (“great yuga”), and 2,000 mahayugas make up the basic cosmic cycle, the kalpa. The first yuga (Krita) was an age of perfection lasting 1,728,000 years.The timeline also indicates that the ascending Kali Yuga, which is the current epoch in which we are living, will fully commence in 2025 in these the god vishma takes on 4 incarnations of different gods and the last being in the Kali yuga) in which time it is legend that the sun will spin around and show” the white side of the sun” or Sooraj Saphed Paksh which means "white side of the Sun." So in conclusion the sun is now on it’s other side for it has been like the moon and we had only experienced the other side of the sun. This will change the course of human life.

Greenwashing is a challenging emerging trend in sustainable finance and business
Most people know what whitewashing is. For example, a government oversight agency investigates a powerful politician and writes up a damaging report or article. But then the affected politician pulls some strings, calls in some favors, and the report “gets whitewashed.” In other words, even though the investigation yielded unfavorable information, the politician can skate away clean because all the worst parts of the document were conveniently altered or deleted. A modern version of whitewashing that has emerged recently is called “greenwashing.”
