RF News & Views August 2024 Schools and phones This summer has seen a very public level of concern, also reflected in new government policy, about the effects of smart phones in schools. Of course this isn’t about the harms from chronic near field exposure, but mental health and performance. This is welcome, and maybe on the back of it advice can be shared about mitigating exposure as well. Eton College agreed to turn wifi off at night time in 2021, after 2.5 years of discussion. Their move to stop smart phones will not be on the back of a wider understanding of the radiation either but does set a certain example. About 11% of schools so far are taking action. Our sister site Mothers for Safe Tech has links for letters to schools. Oxidative Stress There are certain claims being made that RFR from masts can ionise air and cause further stress to our systems. This is, as far as most people know, factually incorrect, see our blog. Ionisation needs high power in order to strip electrons from atoms in the air. August 2024 Newsletter (mailchi.mp)

KATIE SINGER A wild idea, a bitter remedy Most of us don’t know what’s involved in manufacturing smartphones, solar panels, cars, appliances or TVs. We don’t know about the water, energy, extractions or shipping. We don’t know about the smelters or child labor or slave labor. The Internet makes us think that everything we want is within reach. Peter S. Goodman says that recent events have illuminated some supply chain problems—and changed our perception that we can easily get what we want: [] To address our problems’ roots—call it a bitter remedy or a wild idea that would need major collective commitment and action—could we move toward living with food, medicine, tools and vehicles made only within our bioregion? I appreciate that such radical change would not come easy. But the challenges we face from depending on the global super-factory do not look good, either.

EMF: Camilla Rees Presents on Wireless Risks at Metro D.C. MENSA Conference, Calls on MENSA Members to Join the Fight for Safe Technologies Camilla Rees presented on wireless tech risks Saturday at the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. MENSA conference. Her talk was titled, “The Wireless Elephant in the Room: The Biological and Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields–and Steps We Can Take to Protect Our Health in a Wireless Age”. Rees shared many studies with the high-IQ MENSA members showing biological and health risks from non-thermal (heating) exposures to wireless radiation, and mentioned several review studies by the U.S. government showing risk dating to the 1940s. They included studies by NASA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, EPA, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Naval Medical Research Institute, Department of the Army, NIH/DoE, NIH/National Toxicology Program, as well as communication from the Department of Interior to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration indicating present exposure guidelines are outmoded and are inadequate to protect wildlife. Rees further opened eyes stating that insurance companies have long refused to cover liability for wireless-related health risks. Swiss Re, the second largest reinsurer in the world, Rees said has called 5G mobile networks a “high” and “of-the-leash” risk, indicating claims for health impairments may have a “long latency”. Rees, a former Wall Street executive, also highlighted the irony that, in the wireless carrier 10k Annual Reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, radiation from cell phones, wireless technologies and wireless infrastructure is called a “pollutant” and the radiation is acknowledged as a Risk Factor that may result in significant financial losses. []“There is nothing more important than health”, Rees said, “and yet our entire country’s health is being eroded by the wireless trajectory we are on. And DNA is being impacted putting future generations are at risk. Are we going to let this continue, and get dramatically worse as higher and higher frequencies are used in 5G and beyond?”, she asked. Rees said, “Scientists predict next generation technologies, like 5G, will have massive biological effects because of the vast number of biologically disruptive pulsations. The pulsations will impact brain structure and function, as well as human intelligence, according to Dr. Martin Pall of Washington State University. “It is ironic, isn’t it, that in order to facilitate ‘Artificial’ Intelligence, by putting up all these antennas, we are blanketing ourselves in wireless radiation that will impair our own intelligence?”, she told the MENSA audience.

AI: Tech Company Lays Off 5,500 Workers to Invest More in AI, Despite Making $10.3 Billion in Profit This is just depressing. Despite tech conglomerate Cisco posting $10.3 billion in profits last year, it's still laying off 5,500 workers as part of an effort to invest more in AI, SFGATE reports. It joins a litany of other companies like Microsoft and Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, that have used AI as justification for the mass culling of its workforce. The layoffs at Cisco came to light in a notice posted with the Securities and Exchange Commission this week, affecting seven percent of its staff. In a short statement, CEO Chuck Robbins used the term "AI" five times, highlighting the company's efforts to keep up in the ongoing AI race. FUTURISM
AUTOMOBILES: Driverless is dead – but car manufacturers still spend billions on it Driverless technology seems an expensive distraction from more practical, prosaic concerns such as walkable communities, bike lanes, buses and affordable electric cars. Which is why it’s peculiar that Britain seems to be pressing ahead with autonomous vehicles on public roads. [] Forever promising, but never really ready, driverless cars have been touted as “the future” for many years, during which time there has been much excitement over autonomous technology but very little real-world justification for the billions spent researching it. Driverless technology seems an expensive distraction from more practical, prosaic concerns such as walkable communities, bike lanes, buses and affordable electric cars. Which is why it’s peculiar that Britain seems to be pressing ahead with autonomous vehicles on public roads. Developing driverless technology is also clearly very difficult. The world’s richest companies have recruited the world’s brainiest boffins but their combined might has failed to produce a useful product. Perhaps they underestimated how hard it would be, or overestimated how quickly they could bring something to market; Ford’s 2016 claim that it would have a fully driverless car by 2021 seems rather silly in retrospect. Either way, investors didn’t get much from the hundred-billion-or-so dollars they threw at autonomous vehicles, and the money for such projects began to rapidly dry up during the second wave of lockdowns. It’s possible that a breakthrough is just around the corner, that impatient backers should have waited a little longer for a truly driverless car to germinate. But it’s equally possible that autonomous vehicles are better suited to more limited, specific applications, despite being hyped into mainstream consciousness by overexcitable tech types and a credulous media. But driverless mania is over for now, with Apple joining other tech and manufacturing giants in unplugging their projects. And if anyone was going to do it, Apple would be in a good position to try. As probably the most famous technology company in the world, Apple was (and is) well-placed to disrupt the car industry in much the same way it disrupted the mobile phone industry. it’s never been clear which question driverless cars answered. Legacy manufacturers told us we’d buy cars from them just as we do now, only these cars would be autonomous, with TVs and coffee machines and lounge-style seats in the back because we wouldn’t need to actually steer them. Prototypes showcasing opulent interiors, with rear-facing chairs and no steering wheel, were a conspicuous motor show mainstay throughout the 2010s. Meanwhile, tech giants like Uber and Waymo thought the future was in ride-sharing; you’d hail a robotaxi as you would an ordinary minicab, with a computer in place of an underpaid man in the driver’s seat. But these aren’t what customers are crying out for.Instead, there’s huge and so far unquenched demand for small, affordable EVs. The cost of a new electric car is only one of the many headwinds that sector currently faces (demand for battery vehicles has plateaued despite the imminent fossil fuel phase-out) but it’s one of the factors putting off consumers. Manufacturers, including “disruptors”, would do well to address the demand for low-tech, low-cost EVs – even if the end user has to do their own steering. By contrast, the foundation of Apple’s driverless project was yet another expensive EV. Even after the company had pared back its autonomous ambitions (in 2022 the car was set for a 2026 launch, albeit with limited driverless tech) the list price was thought to be in the region of $100,000 – more than three times the price of North America’s cheapest consumer EVs, and destined for unpleasant competition with more established manufacturers. Building the MacBook Pro of electric cars would have been a brilliant idea 10 years ago; nowadays, the motoring public needs a cheap Chromebook. And that’s the case on both sides of the Atlantic. In Germany – which for years has been one of the world’s largest car markets – sales of electric cars are expected to slump this year, with analysts citing the unaffordability of new EVs as a leading factor, alongside charging concerns. the country’s automotive industry association, the VDA, predicts a 14 percent fall in new EV registrations following Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s unexpected withdrawal of key subsidies. The average cost of a new electric car in Germany rose by about 4,000 euros to more than 52,000 euros (about £45,000) in 2023. And in the US, research by Edmunds found that around half of all EV shoppers want one that costs less than $40,000 – of which there are only three or four. A fifth of buyers searching for an EV want one for under $30,000, which is something that doesn’t exist in North America yet. Apple’s decision to cancel its autonomous EV project reflects both the near-impossibility of making a truly autonomous roadgoing car, together with the difficulties experienced by all car makers as we lurch unconvincingly into the electric age. Margins are tight, consumers are nervous and regulators can’t make up their mind. But while Apple read the room and quietly canned its plans for a six-figure robocar, many legacy manufacturers are struggling to change course as quickly as they need to. It’s time for the world’s automotive giants to refocus their attention away from driverless, artificial intelligence, and headline-grabbing tech projects, and onto what customers need – practical, affordable EVs.

BIG TECH: Technology's grip on modern life is pushing us down a dimly lit path of digital land mines SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — “Move fast and break things,” a high-tech mantra popularized 20 years ago by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, was supposed to be a rallying cry for game-changing innovation. It now seems more like an elegy for a society perched on a digital foundation too fragile to withstand a defective software program that was supposed to help protect computers — not crash them. []It's a tell-tale moment — one that illustrates the digital pitfalls looming in a culture that takes the magic of technology for granted until it implodes into a horror show that exposes our ignorance and vulnerability. []The risks are being amplified by the tightening control of a corporate coterie popularly known as “Big Tech": Microsoft, whose software runs most of the world's computers; Apple and Google, whose software powers virtually all of the world's smartphones; Amazon, which oversees data centers responsible for keeping websites running (another key service provided by Microsoft and Google, too, in addition to its e-commerce bazaar); and Meta Platforms, the social networking hub that owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. []“We have built a cult of innovation, a system that says. ‘Get technology into people’s hands as quick as possible and then fix it when you find out you have a problem,’" Nti Asar said. “We should be moving slower and demanding better technology instead of giving ourselves up to these feudal lords.” []That doesn't mean individual households still can't revert to some of their old tricks as a backup for when technology falters, said Matt Mittelsteadt, research fellow for Mercatus Center, a research institution at George Mason University. “There is this creeping realization that some of the things we once mocked, like putting a password on a Post-It note, isn't necessarily the worst idea." []At this juncture, experts believe both the government and the private sector need to devote more time mapping out the digital ecosystem to get a better understanding of the weaknesses in the system. Otherwise, society as a whole may find itself wandering through a field of digital land mines — while blindfolded. Says Mittelsteadt: “We have no intelligence about the environment we are operating in now other than that there is this mass of ticking time bombs out there.” MSN

CHILDREN SCREENS: Tablet Use Fuels Anger and Tantrums in Young Children, Research Finds As screentime in young children is becoming more prevalent they are experiencing more anger, frustration, and meltdowns than ever before. Mobile device use among young children has surged, with screen time jumping from five minutes a day in 2020 to 55 minutes in 2022—a shift that underscores the growing role of technology in early childhood. By age 4, most children already have their own devices. A new study in JAMA Pediatrics has identified a connection between tablet use and emotional outbursts in young children. The study followed 315 preschoolers over two years and found that those who spent more time on tablets at age 3.5 were more likely to exhibit signs of anger and frustration by age 4.5. The study relied on parent-reported data on tablet use and emotional behavior, tracking each child’s development over time. Researchers found that a one-hour increase in daily tablet use at age 3.5 was linked to a 22 percent rise in anger and frustration by the following year. EPOCH TIMES
CHILDREN SCREENS: Too much TV screen time for kids: 5 things to know about the risks A study published this week in JAMA Pediatrics found an association between TV screen time and what's known as atypical sensory processing. This can include developing sensory-seeking behaviors, like obsessively watching a spinning object, as well as becoming slower to respond to stimuli, like hearing one's name called, and avoiding certain sensory experiences, such as resisting new foods and noisy environments. Though the researchers did not study children with autism spectrum disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, such sensory processing difficulties can be common with both conditions. The study's association between screen time and atypical sensory processing builds on past research suggesting a similar link between TV-watching at a young age and language delay, attention problems, emotional dysregulation, brain findings, autism symptoms, and sleep problems.

HEALTH: Consciousness Could Hinge on How Your Brain Handles Metals, Scientists Say A new study from scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem proposes a new perspective on two well-known neuroscience theories—one that explores the importance of memory in human consciousness. By understanding how the brain forms memory units using metal cations, the researchers hope to delve deeper into the biochemical formation of consciousness and discover potential causes behind certain brain disorders, such as Alzheimer’s and autism. The definition of “consciousness” is becoming ever more important as artificial intelligence continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Although some overzealous AI researchers have marveled at large language models’ ability to display a convincing facsimile of consciousness, most researchers agree that humanity is many years removed from achieving Artificial General Intelligence—an incredibly strong AI where the “consciousness” of humans and AI would begin to blur. [] , a new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is exploring a new perspective on the subject by digging into the role memory plays in shaping human consciousness—a marked departure from previous work that compared neural memory to computer data. It would mean that consciousness naturally arises from the evolution of memory in a biochemical sense. []This exploration is more that just a philosophical exercise or an effort to better understanding artificial consciousness if and when it arises. Having a deeper understanding of this consciousness-making mechanism can have a big impact on people in the here and now. “This proposed mechanism sheds light on how disturbances in metal levels could potentially impact memory functions. Furthermore, we speculate that disorders such as Alzheimer’s and autism may be linked to dysregulation of metal handling by the body,” the researchers said in a press statement. “Understanding these intricate relationships provides insight into the processes of memory formation and retrieval, aiding in comprehension of conditions ranging from short-term memory loss to more severe memory impairments.” So while the debate surrounding the “consciousness” of AI continues to grab headlines, the exploration of human consciousness remains a vast frontier ripe for exploration.

HEALTH: Zaid K. Dahhaj and The Meta Warrior from The Circadian ClassroomThe Health Space’s Deepest Blindspot It's all around them, yet they are blind to its significance Centralized medicine is excellent for addressing acute situations. It’s horrendous at viewing the body as one system and addressing the root cause of chronic disease due to a number of factors. If you needed any evidence of that, you can study the skyrocketing rates of chronic disease. Cancer, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, all at a high. I firmly believe that the health space is focused on the wrong things in relation to circadian biology. SUBSTACK

INSPIRATION/SPIRITUAL RELIGIOUS: Missives from the Edge The Hidden Life Living Words, “What’s wrong with the stories of modernity, progress and technology that they have brought us to this point? What are the alternatives? Whatever they are, I’m convinced they can only be shown to people through practice. Writers and intellectuals like me are all very well, but things will only really change when enough people get together and start to live differently. This is how change often happens in times of widespread collapse: not by waging war against the crumbling centre, but by creating parallel ways of being.” —Paul Kingsnorth in an interview with Johnathon Van Maren, in the European Conservative, April 2022 “Hey, we should start a ministry for people like this,” her husband offers. “We could get donations and buy socks and toiletries and stuff and hand them out to people on the street.” Her heart sinks. A heaviness comes with the words, and all her joy deflates. Maybe, but He only showed me this one. She shakes her head. “This isn’t about a ministry.” This desire to start a ministry when you’ve only been shown to love the one in front of you seems to be at the heart of a lot of our society’s problems. Instead of loving our neighbor in a one-on-one way, we instinctively look to create programs and structures. We strategize for some system to take care of “the problem”: government, church program, NGO, technology—anything that replaces the messiness and cost of the personal relationships involved in loving our fellow humans. It’s so much easier to deal with systems designed to alleviate anonymized problems than it is to love individual human beings. Perhaps we want the rules that become necessary when dealing with a large group of people, so that we won’t have to set boundaries with the one person that we’re connected to directly. HERE

PRIVACY: A wave of biological privacy laws may be coming as tech gadgets capture our brain waves Elon Musk's Neuralink is the most famous example of how technology is being embedded with the human mind, but many consumer tech products not covered by medical regulation are also capturing brain waves, and the biggest tech companies in the market including Apple have filed patents for brain-sensing applications.
Colorado recently became the first state in the U.S. to pass a privacy act that includes neural data among "sensitive data" that is protected by law.
A wave of similar privacy bills may be needed as the number consumer tech products focused on brain activity, from sleep to focus and meditation, expand exponentially, with few safeguards in place. MSN
SPACE: Why time is running short to decide Starliner astronauts' ride home (msn.com) Aside from the general concern for Wilmore and Williams' health — their bodies receive excess radiation and bone deterioration in space — the agency faces a ticking clock with the manifest. [ ]NASA already postponed the next crew rotation one month to buy some time to figure out the path forward for Starliner, but the delayed SpaceX capsule will be on its way to the station on Sept. 24. Starliner will have to undock before then, whether with human pilots or robotically, to accommodate the other SpaceX spaceship. In addition to logistics at the station, NASA has had to consider how changes would affect operations on the ground. By delaying the next SpaceX Crew-9 flight, for example, the agency has had to scramble to get certification to move the launch to a different pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Otherwise, Crew-9 would interfere with preparations for the launch of Europa Clipper, a robotic science mission set to study one of Jupiter's moons. All the shuffling leaves a fairly tight window in September for Starliner to leave. If NASA chooses not to send the Starliner astronauts home in Starliner, they'll remain at the station until February 2025, turning their original eight-day visit into an eight-month layover.

SPACE: A billionaire is about to lead the first private spacewalk. Here’s what to know []The mission, called Polaris Dawn, is slated to take off no earlier than 3:30 a.m. ET on August 26. [[When billionaire Jared Isaacman self-funded a mission to orbit Earth in 2021, the project was billed as a childhood cancer fundraiser — and made for an eye-popping entrance into the private space tourism world. The four-person crew of people from various backgrounds with no prior spaceflight experience spent three days orbiting Earth together in a 13-foot-wide SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. On Monday, Isaacman and three crewmates — including his close friend and former Air Force pilot, Scott “Kidd” Poteet, as well as two SpaceX engineers, Anna Menon and Sarah Gillis — will arrive at Kennedy Space Center in Florida to prepare for the launch of a far grander, more dangerous, and experimental trip to space. Isaacman, Menon, Gillis and Poteet will spend five days aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule that will soar to altitudes higher than any human has traveled since NASA’s Apollo program ended in the 1970s. Their orbital path will extend high enough to plunge the vehicle and crew into a radiation belt, adding another element of peril to the already treacherous experience of spaceflight. []With Polaris Dawn, Isaacman — the founder of payment services company Shift4, who is also a jet pilot with lifelong dreams of space travel — is making clear he is not just interested in duplicating what professional astronauts have experienced. He is seeking to advance space technology, helping to fund the development of new hardware as well as personally exposing himself to the risks of testing out that technology where it matters most: in the unforgiving void of outer space.
