How will Alaska participate in the new science and technology and divisions of labor created by an international financial reform? After 26 years of writing and campaigning on the subjects of technology and finance I believe we must address three fundamental issues on this subject.
First we must recognize the attempts to corrupt science to understand the historical dynamic of industrial science policy. Next must be a discussion of the true science of technology. Then most important, we will talk about Alaskan goals and missions that will allow us to unite under a common vision for a better future.
Historical dynamic of technology
Attempts to corrupt scientific method and practice have a long history. The old empire system of oligarchy continues to spend billions of dollars through institute and foundation systems to promote “junk science” to protect its political, cultural and economic interests.
One historical example of this corruption is the London Royal Society. The London Royal Society was founded as a oligarchic science organization in 1662 and had two primary political purposes: first to destroy the actual methods of science and second to slow down competition to the price basis for the current modes of production.
“Junk science” and other cult mysticisms have always been promoted by the old empire system because oligarchy is threatened by scientific method and education. Understanding scientific method tends to make populations rational in political thinking, and new truly efficient technologies challenge the industries currently providing income to the old empire.
To further understand the historical dynamic of industrial science policy we must consider this anti-science mysticism in the context of the false ideology known as the “post-industrial society doctrine.” For those people who understand global financial warfare the “post-industrial society doctrine” is nothing but a justification for parasitical financial practices.
Running debt-pyramiding, asset-stripping, and debt-for-equity operations against the productive capacity of industry, agriculture, and infrastructure are standard methods of international finance. These destructive financial practices are then justified by claiming industry and advanced industrial technology is no longer necessary for a modern economy.
“Junk science” and the “post-industrial society doctrine” are just two examples of how oligarchy attempts to prevent the advancement of civilization. For hundreds of years the old world empire system has attempted to destroy science and destroy modern technology to protect their current modes of production and today we are faced with the same age-old problem.
We must protect ourselves from this nonsense by learning the true science of technology.
The science of technology
I learned the science of technology through the study of military industrial science. My most important lesson was that the in-depth logistical capabilities necessary to be successful in a military conflict require a rejection of the economic nonsense that has led to the collapse of our nations physical economy over the last several decades.
Every category of infrastructure in our nation is now either beyond its design life, near the end of its design life, or beyond its capacity due to population pressures. Our bridges, dams, highways, railroads, power production and distribution, industries, water management, agricultural structures, hospitals, and schools have all been in decline since the 1970s.
This decline collapsed our nation’s employment and tax revenue base and has now turned into a financial war that requires an economic war mobilization based on the science of technology.
My goal here is to build public support for a science and infrastructure driven financial reform and not get too bogged down on the technical details but a direct discussion of the real science of technology is necessary if we are to be successful over the long term.
Financial economists who only look at statistics or short-term financial income and have no knowledge of physics tell us that innovation is not predictable. They are wrong, there is a real science of technology.
The science of technology (physical economy) is based on the study of economics as a branch of Riemannian physics. Principles involved are energy-flux-density, work-flux-density, energy coherence, volumetric-energy-density, volumetric-energy-efficiency, principle of least action, and relative-potential-population density. One goal of this science is to choose technologies that can project productivity in many sectors of an economy.
Choosing technologies is possible because there is an observable ordering of technological progress but this does not mean human knowledge develops linearly as a gradual accumulation of facts organized according to a fixed system of definitions and axioms.
Scientists will continue to discover anomalies and paradoxes that challenge our current sets of definitions and axioms. Furthermore, the advancement, assimilation and propagation of scientific progress occur only through acts of individual human cognition so technological progress does not follow exact pathways.
This being said as an admonition, understanding the general direction of technology can allow us to make superior financial investments and public policy.
One principle for understanding this general direction is energy-flux-density, which in one of its mathematical forms measures the amount of action affected per cross sectional area of a process. This is most easily understood by observing that mankind first burned wood, then coal, and then oil, and then nuclear. The repetitive process here is that the density and work efficiency of the heat process increases each time thus allowing new resources to be defined and used for human requirements.
The problem is that the physical principle of energy-flux-density is popularly denied and we are told over and over again by news media and “science organizations” that we should invest in “sustainable” technologies. Wind, biomass, and solar technologies are classic examples of technologies that cannot pass any of the physics of the science of technology.
Why are these “sustainable” technologies promoted when they cannot pass any of the physical principles of the science of technology? If investments were made into advanced technology based on understanding economics as a branch of physics then the price basis for the current modes of production would be unalterably transformed.
Financial cartels spend huge amounts of cash attempting to influence the political process to prevent the advancement of technologies that challenge the industries they already own. The advocacy of “wind, solar, and advanced biomass” is just the standard oligarchic line for preventing the investments necessary to support human populations at a higher standard of living though using truly more efficient technologies.
Public and private investment into these low energy-flux-density technologies is a huge waste of resources that could be used to invest in projecting labor productivity and increasing the complexity of our industries and employment opportunities.
Our local business leaders and politicians must be taught that increasing the productivity and complexity of the social divisions of labor by advancing truly efficient technologies based on the real science of technology is not only the best method for creating new employment but also for maximizing profits over the long term.
More important, advancements in high energy-flux-density industrial technologies will allow humanity to more cheaply build the infrastructure necessary to improve the quality of life for the average human because increasing productivity gives an economy the ability to build larger and more complex projects at a lower social cost.
The science of technology for Alaska
Alaska’s industrial science policy must be based on the true science of technology but which technologies are the most important for Alaska?
The science of technology identifies high energy-flux-density industrial plasma processing as one of the central priorities for a resource-based economy, like Alaska, because this technology has the ability to redefine the usable resource base. Without this technology Alaska runs a risk that our economy will fail in the long run.
Metaphorically, Alaska cannot continue to produce buggy whips after the horse is no longer generally used for transportation.
A science and infrastructure driven financial reform will fundamentally alter the technological divisions of labor worldwide because the useable resource base is determined by the applied industrial technology. Many nations will gain access to new industrial technologies and Alaska must not be left behind and in fact must become a leader in resource technologies.
High energy-flux-density industrial plasma processing is required as the top Alaskan science priority to insure employment, tax revenue, and profits in a new era created by a science and infrastructure led financial reform. This is true because industrial plasma processing is the only technology that has the ability to introduce new manufacturing and at the same time transform existing industries in Alaska consistent with new worldwide technological divisions of labor.
Within a human generation or two, industrial plasma processing based on the transmutation of materials will make oil, gas and coal obsolete for energy production and transportation. New clean fuels will eventually replace the old dirty ones. Before this happens, Alaska can move technology forward by advancing the frontiers of knowledge and practical applications of plasma processing for our current oil, gas and coal industries.
Alaska already has massive industrial facilities for the primary reduction of minerals and a robust oil and gas industry. Introducing heavy industrial plasma processing will allow these industries to take their next steps into the future. For example, this technology will allow unprofitable low-grade ores to become profitable for Alaska’s mining industry.
What is plasma processing? Most simply stated, plasma is the fourth state of matter after solid, liquid, and gas. Plasmas have self-organizing properties and are the most common state of matter in the universe. For this discussion plasma processing is being used as a general term to describe the high temperature transformation of materials.
How do we introduce plasma processing to Alaska? The long-term productivity of the Alaskan economy requires the establishment of a plasma physics prototype institute at the University of Alaska Anchorage with a mission of advancing plasma processing for the production of strategic and construction materials and fluids processing.
Anchorage and the surrounding communities have the large populations necessary to support complex industrial industries, and Alaska has the strategic minerals, but our entrepreneurship and industries require a technology mission at our local university to focus their attention.
The near-term industrial science mission of advancing materials and fluids processing will take our mining and oil and gas industries into their next phases of production and can be used to pilot the creation of capital goods industries in Alaska. This focus also has the added benefit of moving our mining industry away from the filthy and dangerous chemical processing currently being used.
The long-term mission of launching miniature plasma-construction-products factories into space will become one of the strategic keys for inspiring our youth to develop their creativity while providing the practical decades-long goal that keeps Alaskan industries supplied with new technologies.
By focusing our long-term science policy on miniaturizing industrial plasma processing, and advancing the transmutation of materials, we will establish our practical entry point for participating in space colonization. Most important, this space mission will act as an organizing method for creating new industries in Alaska. An industry that acts as a component or catalyst for reaching our long-term goal should be given an investment and political priority.
Alaska’s near-term industrial goal must be to produce superior materials that can be both internationally competitive and can be consumed in Alaska’s future industrial process industries and construction projects.
Building the Susitna or Chakachamna hydroelectric plants or the Road to Nome/Railroad Around the World through Alaska would be great places to consume some of these superior construction products.
Companies like Midrex www.midrex.com who provide engineering services for a component of our long-term goal should be given immediate investment priority because this industry must be ready at the same time we complete our new gas line. Midrex represents an especially good fit for developing new industries in Alaska because their basic business plan calls for local ownership.
Midrex technologies represent one component for achieving our industrial science goal of plasma-arc continuous casting robotic capital goods production. Bringing Midrex technologies to Alaska would be a good first step for using the goal of plasma processing as an organizing principle for introducing multiple industries.
Several of Alaska’s incompetent leaders in politics and media have actively campaigned for many years against “pie in the sky” goals for science and technology. Their lack of vision has prevented the investments necessary to promote rapid advances in labor productivity and employment. Without these obstructionists we would have established a plasma physics institute at our university many years ago.
Alaskans as U.S. citizens must understand they have access to technology that no other nation has. Hundreds of technologies are available from our Department of Defense and Department of Energy. All we have to do is organize the political will to unlock these technologies by setting science and technology goals for our university system.
Alaskan technology for a better future
As the world economy continues to accelerate into a financial and physical economic collapse, Alaskan technologies must play an important role in a worldwide science and infrastructure led financial reform. The United States is currently in a life and death financial economic war, which is in reality a global war for the survival of the nation state system of democratic republics.
Alaskans must understand they have the power of leadership to mobilize their own nation’s collapsing economy by focusing on that which is necessary to save the world economy. We must cast aside the oligarchic nonsense of “junk science” and the “post-industrial society” and invest in those technologies that can project labor productivity across the planet.
A competent industrial science policy based on the true science of technology promotes technologies not only for their local application but also because of the ability to project productivity in many sectors and many nations.
Our mining, oil and gas industries can be transformed into multiple manufacturing industries that have the ability to not only lift our populations out of poverty but also allow Alaska to directly participate in a worldwide science and infrastructure led financial reform.
Digging ore out of the ground to produce construction products that are internationally competitive, locally consumed, and derive from technologies necessary for space colonization and world development will allow Alaska to unite under a common vision for a better future.
