We all want to be young



This video has been going around the internet amoung the social sciences enthusiasts, or marketing poeple..., its format is quite condensed (so is the montage) for summing up 5 years of survey in 10 minutes, and yet reflecting the subject of youth it is encompassing.

It descibes the key features that differenciate each generation, each young one that stays in us and rules our vision of the world. So after all it is as much the comparison of youths than the comparison of different trends in social behaviours amoung age populations.

It then takes the focus on the latest youth, most interestingly not the one of ideological revolution, but the one of pragmatism in a globalised world. Interesting to see that despite the endless possibilities that would put most of us (i'm personnaly from generation X - born in 83) in a contemplation and imaginative state ; they, just dive right in and don't even try to define themselves, don't relate on idols or ideologies, but are part of a larger interconnected group, multitasking themselves to become serveral in one.

Would the generation Y or Millenial be one erratic person of its own, made of individuals without categories. The collective intelligence some dreamy and unpragmatic elders set the matrix for ; our own living utopia ?
But is it a psychologically and then socialy sustainable society ?

Water in your engine - De l'eau dans le moteur !

Hey green buddies, here's an interesting video (in french though)... It's all about adding a patch system to your regular car engine. It uses heat from engine to boil water and run vapor in exhaust gazes to clean them up, and then bring that charged vapor back in the air admission so that it burns again in the cylindre ! Results are stunning, in an homemade engine : -20% gazoline consommation, 1% against 8,6% C02 emmissions, and 10% performance augmentation ! Why car builders don't generalise and optimise this system ? A good question, maybe loobiing can give us a hint... Although it's not a sustainable solution, it is a very efficient short term solution.

Biophysique économique - une importante étude des ressources commandée par l'ONU

Image
Important, une étude scientifique sur la transition énergétique, son impact sur l’économie et les solutions, est commandée par les Nations Unies. Le groupe international de scientifiques et d’économistes est unanime sur le changement de style de vie qui va s’imposer, sur le transport, la construction (ie matériaux, mais aussi façon de concevoir les villes), et l’agro-alimentaire. Au-delà de ces pistes pour réduire l’impact éco-logique, cela veut dire que la « croissance infinie » n’est plus tena ble, et, pour le moment, aucun modèle éco-nomique alternatif global n’est envisagé. C’est ce qui selon l’étude crée l’instabilité politique et économique actuelle. Pour les solutions économiques, des pistes existent parmi lesquelles l’économie circulaire, mais qui se base sur une décroissance. Cela voudra dire que tout coûtera beaucoup plus cher et que notre style de vie deviendra plus minimaliste. Il y a aussi la piste de l’économie basée sur la valeur d’usage qui n’
