Do we need a purpose? If so, why not simply "custodians of life"? How we're not the real threat and this mission does require us? and the role of AI -- these are key questions i feel are in need of being addressed. Welcome to One Finite Planet , a channel on our journey to a new age, today questioning whether AI increases the need for a unifying purpose.
This web page holds the scripts and notes on videos posted on the onefiniteplanet YouTube channel, and mostly provides an alternate way to view the same content.
From the youtube description : Self-driving cars rely on more than just hype — they need sensors that can actually “see” the road. In this video, we break down the four key sensor types: LIDAR, radar, cameras, and sonar. You’ll learn the pros and cons of each technology, the myths surrounding LIDAR, and how these sensors shape the future of AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. Whether you’re…
This page (and the video) look at key questions on the future of cars EVs: Will robotaxis mean really no one will want to own a car anymore? Even if people do still want cars, will EVs just die out or eventually take over? What about hydrogen, e-fuels, or the countries like the USA dropping any climate agenda? EV have improved a lot, but need to do more before they are fully suitable for _most_…
This is just the introduction, and a series of pages/videos will follow on will AI robots exterminate us, updates on technical progress and breakthroughs, and on how, whether, as technology as done in past, AI Robots, driven increases productivity will result in more jobs becoming viable. But this page/video prefixes those points with a look at the long term goal: where are we heading, and…
The climate is always changing. The good news has been that Earth's surface went from molten rock to now supporting the bloom of visible life we see today as the Phanerozoic Eon, but the bad news is the bloom, and current wonderful conditions are just a brief moment, as the surface will naturally return to being too hot for any life to survive. Plus, as watching a volcano shows, things have cooled…
This is a look at the V2-GHL technologies, how they work, and how they are going to impact EVs future energy and energy prices for not just EV, EV-PHEV EV-Hybrid owners, but for everyone. Its 3 years since the March 2022 " The electrical grid, V2G and EV Home Charging " web page was published on OneFinitePlanet.org website, and now in 2025 its all happening.
Although, while in the midst of it all, it is easy to miss the real impact, we are experiencing what we may soon see as the greatest political upheaval since at least the collapse of the soviet union.
To many people, both those within the US as well as perhaps most outside the US, a vote for Trump is seen as something hard to understand and even seen as the uneducated or the domain "others": people seen as are very different from "normal people". Yet 50% Americans are not radically different "others", nor uneducated, nor stupid, even though around 50% will vote for trump. With around 80% of…
And yes, environment and climate are always changing . Even though we are creating quite a mess right now, realistically it's nature and natural environment and climate changes, not us humans, that will end all life one Earth. This look at the big picture of the history of environment and climate reveals while "Mother Earth" does seem quite nurturing right now, this planet is normally hostile to…
