Is it time for something new?

New here would be completely new or something we overlooked along our way to the riches. This is on the world without oil. It is not just oil but everything related to oil. Crude Oil & Petroleum industry had made lot of people & countries what they are today. The whole world seems to be run by crude oil price including the share market, inflation, deflation & foreign reserves and much much more. Do you think without oil will it all get to a dead-end?

I will leave it to you to get to know the chemistry of the hydrocarbons inside the oil but let's discuss on the economics of it. The pricing references of crude oil is based on the place where it is mined from. For e.g. North America, Europe, Africa, Middle-east, Dubai, Oman, Malaysia, Indonesia & some other OPEC countries. Oil always brought power to nations since its use was in various industries in multitudinous forms. Some of its uses are as fuels, lubricants, wax, coke & agriculture.

Based on Consumption of Oil, US leads the world followed by China, Japan, India and Russia in that order. Production of Oil is led by Saudi Arabia followed by Russia, US, Iran & China. US being the largest consumer of Oil the export is very few from US. The export charts shows Saudi Arabia as the king of oil exports with Russia, Norway, Iran & UAE far behind them. The worlds leading importers of Oil is again US, Japan, China, Germany & South Korea.

Oil extraction is considered as a process which has lot of negatives in it including pollution and also the infrequent spill which kills a whole world under water. Based on what Science had told us, Oil is a fossil-fuel. Which of course is not forever. Are we ready to face a world without Oil? What would be the world without Oil? What are the options we have? Right now very few but as the world found use of Oil to throw away the old horse carts which produced more stuck traffics and environment pollution we believe we would find something else this time.

Today's world had been after different technologies and concepts for a Oil free world. Forget about what will happen to the people of all those Oil rich wealthy lands which itself is a different story. New world is trying to make use of wind to harvest the power of nature to create energy. This technology cannot feed the world for its needs to substitute oil because it is profoundly dependent on geography. Hydrogen seems to be costly option as well. We still need to go a long way to either get rid of Oil completely or make more man made Oil.

Maybe a time will come when man will learn to make more OIL from OIL in our school chemistry labs and hope those days are not very far.

Living with AI to living in AI

Humans and robots co-existing as friends and having emotional bonds looks a reality waiting for us. Humans have started to procure various pleasure toys, bestie robot, pets etc. These close encounters might definitely affect real pets and their life in this world. However the hormones they help in producing can also be triggered up by these virtual devices and this is what in reality human mind is looking for. Mindfulness missing on our actions due to mobile is one of the most popular discussion in various popular books and YouTube channels. We have reached a stage where we take mobile phone to toilet accompanying us while getting exposed to many dangerous bacterias and ignoring    concentrating on bowel movements which is considered to be a form of meditation. We are happy our goal is achieved but we overlook the impact of this action on our body and mind. Reduction of attachment to family is at all time high as we can always connect to people of our taste based on the flavor...

Do we need God?

  “If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him” - Voltaire The simple answer to who needs God is “everyone”. Why we need God could be different.   As many scholars and philosophers had taught us over last few generations. Religion and belief had played a key role in creating societies and civilisations. Without religion or a common thread of belief system or culture for that matter, we humans cannot be organised and disciplined. I do agree there will be always those outliers who could manage without a system. What happens without a system is well understood assuming most of my readers are living in countries which has an order. Theories on how it all started could be that alien as aliens themselves would feel less alien. Is it a culture that we often label as religion? Is it common practices? Is it a doctrine and set of rules that makes up a religion? Is it God’s words translated by other humans before us that constitutes a religion? It could be all of these and ...

Investing Today versus Yesterday

India is a developing country and the ambition in our youth to have a crore in their bank is also developing in same pace. Wealth of India and Indians is a well-known phenomenon in this world. We were once considered the richest land. Even now we have few wealthy people who can give tough competition to other rich men around the planet. Indians grow up understanding and tagging wealth to gold and property. Most of the current generation had seen a struggling prior generation and/or heard of previous generations working hard to earn wealth. Most of the Indians didn't have housing in earlier generations and the ones who had been the landlords often lending money and renting property to the larger masses. This practice had led to our ancestors often linking richness to having property for rent.  Our rich dad poor dad preaches us to have assets which are earning bucks for us versus sitting idle and shut which links to having rented property. We often overlook the fact that when is buyi...
