Why Humans should not interfere with nature, and let it take own course

 


Nature should be let to take its course, devoid of human encroachment.

Many parts of Kenya including major cities like Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu witness major floods during rainy seasons due to poor urban planning.

Construction of buildings along waterways cause obstruction to the natural water flow.

In rural areas, excessive cultivation results to blockage of waterways resulting into rampant floods. 

Deluge in Kenya is a recurring phenomenon. Human activities are quite often disrupted due to raging effects of floods that raid even living premises leaving scores of people without shelter.

Justice for nature is indeed justice for humanity. When nature is let to take its own way, it has care for humans because both of them have coexisted mutually for ages.

Increased human population has led to scramble for both food and shelter, which are basic needs.

Reduced food production has led to cultivation of places meant to be waterways and even along river banks.

Competition for places to live has led to the construction of houses along waterways and riparian land.

Nature fights back in full fury, in a battle where humans are always pronounced as losers.

The natural justice dictates that nature will always have what was initially meant to be hers.

Long-term solution to preclude Floods in Kenya

The government of Kenya should initiate legislation of laws to prevent construction of buildings along waterways.

County governments should enact laws on land usage in rural areas and create waterways to prevent stagnant waters along pathways.

The government should implement a legal framework to restrict people from living near rivers and swampy areas.

Swampy areas should be regarded as restricted areas for human activities, apart from normal tour to savor the pleasures of nature.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

How Human Brain will replace Smartphones in communication

Elon Musk envisiges a future where smartphones are obsolete and communication happens directly through the brain.  According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely. Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science. However, Musk believes the integration of humans and artificial intelligence is a necessary mileage for human evolution.  Neuralink’s potential extends far beyond convenience; it could disrupt the field of medicine, communication and the way we interact with technology forever. The future Musk envisions is not just coming, it's already in the pipeline. NEURALINK will make Smartphones completely obsolete. Neuralink is a company that was found by billionaire Elon Musk and develops brain-computer interface technology. Its goal is to connect the human brain to computers so as t...

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
