0 implied HN points • 01 Jan 25
🇺🇸 U.S. Politics Social norms Think Tanks Human Rights Sustainable Development
  1. Population control has been a big topic because of fears about too many people using up resources and harming the environment. Many believed that without control, we could face famine and poverty.
  2. Think tanks and foundations like the Rockefeller Foundation pushed for population control strategies, believing it would help society manage resources better. They funded programs for family planning and education to promote smaller families.
  3. Over time, the focus has shifted from controlling population to ensuring human rights and sustainability. Today, issues like sexuality and reproductive rights are central to discussions that were once about just managing growth.

Harnessing Voltage from a Height

0 implied HN points • 25 Jan 25
🔬 Science Energy Physics Environment Innovation Technology
  1. There is a natural voltage difference in the atmosphere that grows with height, meaning higher points can collect more electricity. It's like how a tall radio tower picks up signals from far away.
  2. You could theoretically collect this energy by hanging a wire high up in the air. The challenge is finding a way to lift that wire without using much energy.
  3. One idea is to use a corkscrew shape in moving water; as the water flows, it could help raise the wire. It’s a mix of creative thinking and natural forces working together.

🇺🇸 U.S. Politics Equality Autonomy Military Feminism Reproductive Rights
  1. Men are drafted into wars and lose their personal freedom, which shows a big inequality. If we want equality, women should take on similar responsibilities like military service.
  2. Women have the right to make choices about their bodies, but this freedom can sometimes impact men's autonomy and safety. True equality means sharing these rights and responsibilities equally.
  3. There's a need to confront and change the current system that seems unfair and focuses on control. We should demand a society where everyone shares the burdens and rights equally for real freedom.
