The following article is directly quoted from his video.
“The greatest shortcoming of human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.”
The exponential function is used to describe the size of anything that growing steadily, for example 5% per year.
We are talking about a situation where the time that is required for the growing quantity to increase by a fixed fraction is constant.
If it takes a fixed length of time to grow 5%, then it follows that it takes a longer fixed length of time to grow by 100%.
This longer time is called the doubling time.
We can calculated the doubling time:
T2 = 70 / % growth per unit time
Thus, a growth rate of 5% per year has a doubling time of:
T2 = 70 / 5 = 14 years
T2 = 70 / 7% = 70 / 7 = 10 years
The cost of an all-day lift ticket at Colorado’s ticket:
Year 1963 $5
Year 1973 $10
Year 1983 $20
Year 1993 $40
Year 2003 $80
Year 2013 $160
Year 2023 $320
The growth in any doubling time is greater than the total of all the proceeding growth!
America depends on electricity. Our need for electricity actually doubles about every 10 or 12 years!

Destiny Analysis is a profound system of individual fortune telling bases on birth data. The system is called FOUR PILLARS OF DESTINY as a person’s birth data normally contains four basic pieces of information - namely Year, Month, Day, Hour.In ancient Chinese cosmology, the Universe and everything within it is composed of five basic elements - Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.
The Chinese believe that these elements are the basic components of all matters in the Universe, including our lives and our destiny. These elements are not chaotic, they are constantly interacting with one another according to a Cycle of Birth and a Cycle of Destruction.
Take for example, Metal gives birth to Water, Water gives birth to Wood, Wood gives birth to Fire… and Metal destroys Wood, Wood destroys Earth, Earth stops Water, Water puts off Fire…These are regarded as the Order of the Universe.
Once there is an Order to everything, it is possible to forecast the future, as all matters, including human destiny, will have to follow the same Order.
To link up human fortune with the Universe, the Chinese has invented an ingenious system of calendar which not only express the passing of time but also able to reflect what kind of elemental influences are prevailing at a particular moment in time.
Hence, taking any point in time, Hour, Day, Month, Year, when translated into the Chinese calendar, we will be able to realise what elements will be acting at such point in time.
In other words, if we know the birth data of a person and express it in terms of Chinese calendar,we will get a bundle of elements which tells the composition of the destiny of such person. Take for example, the birth data of the famous Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger can be expressed in the following manner:
|
Hour
|
Day
|
Month
|
Year
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
Earth
|
Metal
|
Fire
|
Fire
|
|
Wood
|
Earth
|
Earth
|
Water
|
The upper element on the day of birth represents the person himself and the other 7 elements symbolises his environment and the people in his life. Hence, we are able to see the composition of the destiny of this person and through analysing the inter-relationship amongst the 5 elements according to the Cycle of Birth and Cycle of Destructiion, we can read his destiny in detail - such as his personality, his potentials, his relationship with people, money aspects, marriage aspects, health aspects, ups and downs cycles in life etc.
The art of FOUR PILLARS OF DESTINY is a handy and profound tool in assisting us to understand the mysterious element of contingency and luck in our lives. It also helps us to understand ourselves and other people, provide deep insight to appreciate the nature of any problems that we are facing and is a very useful reference in decision making on basis of better understanding of appropriate timing in taking risks or choosing new directions in life.
To get a service for destiny analysis, all you need to do is to provide accurate birth data with birth Year, Month, Day, and Hour, birth place, and any special question you wish to ask.

U2 performed live on Good Morning America (GMA) at Fordham University on March 6, 2009. See video and photos of the legendary Irish rock band’s high energy crowd pleasing performance before students, faculty and a national TV audience.
The concert appearance at the college campus in the Bronx is a culmination of numerous U2 television appearances in the U.S. in support of their newly released twelfth studio album ‘No Line on the Horizon,’ the band’s first album in four years, since ‘How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.’ The band has also performed for an entire week on The Late Show with David Letterman.
At Fordham, which is located in Bronx, New York, just above Manhattan, the band played two sets of three songs and were interviewed. It was a mix of new and old, with “Get On Your Boots” from the newly released album, to the classic “Beautiful Day.” (The full set list is below.)

The below article is provided by www.guardian.co.uk
“Homeless people living in cars and mobile homes across the US are being joined by a new breed: the middle-class.
As mortgage foreclosures continue rising month on month, growing numbers of middle-class professionals are losing their homes and downsizing from four bedrooms to four wheels.
With numbers rising, New Beginnings, a homeless agency in Santa Barbara, California, has launched a Safe Parking Programme, aiming to provide a refuge of sorts for those who have nowhere to go other than their vehicle.
Guy Trevor lost his job as an interior designer when the market contracted, thanks to the mortgage foreclosure crisis.
With his furniture sold and his belongings in storage, he now lives in his car, spending the nights in one of the 12 gated parking lots in Santa Barbara run by New Beginnings.
“I see myself as a casualty of a perfect storm,” he said. “The people sleeping at the parking lot are very friendly. They’re just like me - they come from normal, everyday homes. I think a lot of people in this country don’t realise that they, too, are a couple of pay-cheques away from destitution.”
Mortgage foreclosures in the normally comfortable seaside area of Santa Barbara county are increasing month by month.
In May there were 150, with the total for the year to the end of last month reaching 800, according to figures from the county assessor’s office.
Each month, an auction of foreclosed properties is held on the steps of the Santa Barbara courthouse.
“The way the economy is going, it’s just amazing the people that are becoming homeless,” Nancy Kapp, the programme’s coordinator, told CNN. “It’s hit the middle class.”
Another of Kapp’s clients, Barbara Harvey, also lost her job and subsequently her home in the foreclosure crisis. Like Trevor, her job as a loans processor was connected to the housing market.
The 67-year-old lost her three-bedroom home and now lives with her three dogs in her car, parking at night in a women-only car park run by agency.
“It went to hell in a handbasket,” she said. “I didn’t think this would happen to me. It’s just something that I don’t think that people think is going to happen to them.”
The rise in the numbers of homeless sleeping in cars has led Los Angeles city authorities to attempt to clamp down on the problem. As with many other cities, it is illegal in LA to live in vehicles on public streets.
Earlier this year the city forbade nearly all overnight parking on residential streets. A first violation receives a $50 fine, while subsequent offences can carry fines up to $100.
“For more working-class and lower-middle-class people, the car is the first stop of being homeless, and sometimes it turns out to be a long stop,” Gary Blasi, a University of California, Los Angeles, law professor and homeless activist told the Associated Press.
Los Angeles has the highest number of homeless in the US, with an estimated 73,000 people living rough. Of more than 3,000 homeless people surveyed last year, around 250 were sleeping in their cars.
“It’s trending toward an increase,” said Michael Stoop, acting executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless. “People would rather live in a vehicle than wind up in a shelter, and you can’t stay on a friend’s couch forever.”
