This is the first book to address the issues of affordable power, sustainable energy, and reduced environmental impact through the science of energy pricing. Looking at the availability of natural resources from an engineering perspective, and determining how they can be priced to achieve sustainability in the energy sector, is the aim of this groundbreaking new work. Most current models used in energy pricing are based on linear analyses. While these models work well for targeted scenarios within a short time frame, they do not provide one with a scientific tool that can include many facets of the information age. The existing models do not include environmental sustainability in an integrated fashion. This is mainly because environmental costs are still considered to be intangible, and intractable with conventional economic analysis tools. Though one existing model acknowledges some possible theoretical truth to concerns expressed about the onset of'peak oil'—the period in which new oil production must begin a decline of unknown and indefinite duration —this model has little or nothing to say about continuing practices in the extraction and production of fossil fuel that are themselves based on denying any significance or role for such thinking in the immediate future. A serious limitation of that discourse is its insistence on polarizing opinions'for'or'against'environmental sustainability, peak oil, and affordable energy prices. This book proceeds instead to isolate the absence of any agreed criteria for what would constitute inherently sustainable development and examines the main outlines of the history and political economy of energy resource exploration and development since the 1850s from this standpoint. It proposes specific directions in which to take some of the leading alternatives and amendments to current energy pricing practices (as well as some of the most promising energy development alternatives) in order to fulfill the time criteria required for an inherently sustainable trend. The author shows how, and why, identifying unsustainable practices and consequences can make a case for closing down particular oil and gas production operations, while averting the time-wasting approach of trying to fix what really has gone beyond fixing. However, it is possible, necessary, and actually far better to replace these methods with newer, scientifically based methods for achieving overall energy sustainability. "The university curriculum introduced in the post-renaissance era, dominated by doctrinal philosophy, is based on 'learning' or 'skill development', suitable for creating a 'learned' society that would eventually serve the Establishment. This curriculum has been promoted as the only form suitable for the modern education system. It has introduced tremendous amount of tangible advancement in all fields of the structured education system. These tangible gains are then promoted as 'knowledge'. This has created confusion between education (acquiring knowledge) and learning, training or skill development. This book aims at clarifying the difference between the two. It is shown that the current curriculum is not conducive to increasing knowledge because it is based actually on consolidating pre-conceived ideas that are either passed on from previous generations or gained through personal experiences. In most cases, this mode of cognition will not create a pathway for gaining knowledge that is closer to discovery of the truth. The term 'education', on the other hand, always meant to be a process of 'bringing forth' one's inherent qualities and unique traits that are both necessary and sufficient for increasing one's knowledge. This book presents a truly knowledge-based curriculum and shows the divergence between the knowledge-based curriculum and the learning- or training-based curriculum in the knowledge space. It is shown that the two curricular systems demonstrate their diverging natures by both their sources and the final outcomes. Examples of outcomes are given from various disciplines, ranging from science and engineering to philosophy and law. Finally, advantages of the new curriculum are demonstrated, both in terms of acquiring knowledge and preventing current problems, such as technological disasters, global injustice, and environmental destruction. Also presented is the way the new curriculum can eliminate some of the common problems with the currently used curriculum, such as plagiarism, low retention in classrooms, non-representative grading, and others. This book shows how the new curriculum is appealing for both the short-term and the long-term."-- Publisher's website Title page -- Copyright page -- Preface -- Chapter 1: Introduction -- 1.1 What If We Have Been in a Collective Delusional State? -- 1.2 Have We Been Bankrupted to Become Unhealthy? -- 1.3 Grounding Is Necessary but with What? -- 1.4 Do We Even Know the Difference Between a Genius and an Insane Person? -- 1.5 Is There a Continuity Among Depression, Dementia, and Schizophrenia? -- 1.6 How Can We Stop being Self-Destructive? -- 1.7 Start Living Rather Than Making a Living: Make Humanity Great Again -- Chapter 2: A Model for Humanity and Human Behavior -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.2 What Is a Human? -- 2.3 Aristotle's Definition of Humans -- 2.4 Cognitive Process in Humans -- 2.5 The Nature Science Model of Humanity -- Chapter 3: Chemical Drugs for Mental Health Disorder -- 3.1 Introduction -- 3.2 Basic Anatomy -- 3.3 Antidepressants -- 3.4 Something 'Left' to Say About Serotonin -- 3.5 Connection of the Heart to Depression: The Intangible to the Tangible. -- 3.6 Additional Concerns -- 3.7 Bias in the Medical Research -- 3.8 Schizophrenia -- 3.9 Additional Comments and Conclusions -- Chapter 4: Psychological Grounding -- 4.1 Introduction -- 4.2 Culture of Fear -- 4.3 Have We Been Programed to Be Illogical? -- 4.4 Eurocentric Prejudice -- 4.5 Movement from Original Sin to Original Gene -- 4.6 Purpose of Life and Ideal Behavior -- 4.7 Looking at the Big Picture -- 4.8 The Truth Criterion -- 4.9 The Need for a Logical Standard -- 4.10 The Invocation of God -- 4.11 Is Invocation of God a Sound Premise? -- 4.12 Fundamental Traits of Phenomenal Entities -- 4.13 The Absolute Set of Fundamental Premises -- 4.14 Sufficiency of the Absolute Premises -- 4.15 Scientific Cognition Based on the Absolute Set of Fundamental Premises -- Chapter 5: Drivers of Mental Ailments and Natural Remedy -- 5.1 Introduction -- 5.2 Cause of Depression Based on groundbreaking new ideas, this treatise signals a return to a rebuilding and reshaping of the curriculum as the primary tool for education This book presents a new definition of'curriculum'and what it should consist of, with a view toward creating a more ethical, educated, and thinking person.
