RE: What Political Issues Matter to You? - Discussion

in #politics6 years ago

The most pressing concerns to me are public health issues ranging from mansanto-like factory farming methods that just wreck the health of countless people across the globe to things like EMFs and wifi causing health issues, how our brain function is beginning to decline the more we plug ourselves into the technology we've made.

I feel that factory farming methods that impact health are dangerous because 1. we eat food, breathe air, and use water pretty much every day. and 2. it's a remnant issue from the last big industrial revolution that we should have fixed but didn't haven't ... too many industries were making a lot of money off of this, and big business putting profit before people is another post entirely.

If we're not careful, this next industrial revolution, the technological revolution of the internet age that we're living through the first stages of, might cause some knockdown effects that we haven't prepared for adequately. A lot of us are excited about 5G and IoT for example, but look into how 5G can microwave water when it passes through water molecules, and our bodies are mostly water... Our mitochondria use water to function. There has to be safer ways to bring ourselves to the next level of technological advancement. We have to do it without killing ourselves.

I agree. People don’t even think about the downsides and even dangers of new technology. We don’t even have enough years worth of studies to determine how or if our technology is effecting our health/wellness
