Autonomous building : the thermal system

Heat is more important than light. The creatures of the abyss live without light, but close to volcanic chimneys. The development of the embryo starts by the heart, the brain comes after. It follows a path on the tree of life, a path of the evolution.

What's the use of having a lot of knowledge, if you lack love ? Cruel experiments have shown that a baby raised without affection is condemned to die.

It has been proven that the hotter the air, the faster the heart rate. The traveller who has gone in hot and cold countries knows it from experience. People in hot countries are hot, people in cold countries are cold. Without a surprise, it has been proved that sexual arousal is associated with fast heart rate.

It's natural you wish the human heat of somebody else in your house. Living in family, or in community, makes you warm. Abandoning the cold, distant relationship of telecoms, allows you to experience the neben-leben, the human heat of a real person.

The thermal system is a question for the air, for the water, and for cooking. Now, let's see how to get the nice temperature.

1- Air

Life only exists between 0 °C and 60 °C, where water is liquid. The temperature of the human body is 37 °C, but we feel comfortable around 20 °C for the air.

There are several techniques to reach the ideal temperature.

1) Thermal insulation

1) Thermal insulation

Why is thermal insulation so important ? Because a well insulated building consumes up to 10 times less heat than a bad insulated building ¹Changeons d'énergies, Association Négawatt, Actes Sud, 2013, p. 45.

Industrial buildings were made thin, in order to save money. We noticed then that they needed renovation, because they were bad insulated. In the past, people used to make houses with thick stone walls, that were well insulated from the beginning ²Xavier PY, lessons of thermal storage, Université de Perpignan Via Domitia, 2016.

A traditional stone house with a thick wall.

It's cheaper to build than to renovate, especially if you want the house of your dreams. A good tabula rasa allows you a great freedom. I suggest you build your autonomous house from scratch.

There are plenty of thermal insulating materials. But their effectiveness are similar, and differ from 1 or 2 cm of thickness. The first criterion will be the price ³Régis OLIVÈS, lessons of sustainable development, Université de Perpignan Via Domitia, 2016.

Straw is cheap and natural. I suggest you go into straw, or soil.

2) Termite mound system

Biomimicry is the science that imitates nature to make new technologies. Social insects are a good inspiration in terms of efficiency. Termites are perfectionist builders, making towers up to 10 m high. That would be a 2 km high skyscraper for us.

The advantages of the termite mound system are :

• Cheaper construction, because you dig the local soil and build your house with it ;
• Cool air in the summer, mild air in the winter. Actually, it takes the air from the underground that is always at the annual mean temperature of the surface ⁴According to Claudia LORENZ-LADENER in Construire une serre, Ulmer, 2013, p. 36, at 12 m underground, the temperature equals the annual mean of the surface. ;
• The solar chimney ⁵https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar\_chimney and the badgir ⁶https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windcatcher spontaneously take the air from the underground, offering a natural ventilation.

The air flowing horizontally outside sucks the air from the underground by Venturi effect. Besides, the sunlight warms the tower, that warms the air of the chimney, and goes up with the air from the underground.

This system suits best with hot countries, because the annual mean temperature is comfortable.

The termites are social insects, who have evolved into a model of efficiency. Some people will try to sell you expensive, electrical air conditioning systems. You are intelligent. Don't buy their shit.

Remember : the more ecological the house, the cheaper it is ⁷Petit manuel de l'habitat bioclimatique, François TANGUAY, Éditions de Mortagne, 1988, p. 22. Why ? Because ecology is the natural economy ⁸Petit manuel de l'habitat bioclimatique, François TANGUAY, Éditions de Mortagne, 1988, p. 60. When you replace ego by eco, you save a lot of money :-) .

3) Black wall

In cold countries, we want to catch the most sunlight as possible. Therefore, painting an outside house wall in black offers more heat in the house.

A house in Norway with a black wall.

4) White wall

On the other side, in hot countries, we want to reject sunlight to make the inside cool. Therefore, painting an outside house wall in white offers more coolness in the house.

A church in Santorini with a white wall.

5) Solar glass

Solar glass and solar mask are part of what is known as passive architecture. It corresponds to zero energy buildings.

Active architecture is a process of production. It corresponds to plus energy buildings, that produce more energy than they consume.

I think that plus energy buildings are superior to zero energy buildings. However, passive architecture offers good sense tips that may be forgotten in a debauchery of energy. Therefore, we should use both the technologies of active and passive architecture.

A picture window allows sunlight to enter your house, and provides a significant amount of heat. Ancient Romans commonly used them in their \textit{thermae} to take a hot bath. You can do it with your bathroom.

 

A picture window.

The window can be made of glass, or plexiglas. Plexiglas is cheaper, more resistant, but also uglier, and tends to yellowish with UV unless treated. If you want aesthetic, make the choice of glass. In both cases, the materials need to be double-glazed, and the joints must be carefully made in order to avoid thermal losses.

6) Solar mask

When the Sun gets close to the zenith, the house may overheat. This can be avoided with a solar mask.

The Heliodome is made such a way that shadow occurs in summer, whereas sunshine is welcome in winter.

The idea is to get shadow in summer, and sunshine in winter. A roof, leaf trees, can be solar masks.

7) Thermal storage

When sunset arrives, the time of the night has come. It's becoming colder. Have you stored the heat from the previous day ? You can do it thanks to two natural materials : stone and water.

It's easy to find stone and water in the countryside.

A floor, a wall made of stone, can store the heat. The darker the stone, the more efficient the thermal storage.

Another method is to use water. Water is the best material for thermics. Historically used in steam machines, water remains a sure value as far as heat is concerned.

On a shelf, exposed to the sun, put large water bottles. Paint them in black, in order to catch the calories. Add salt, this is an efficient antifreeze. Water is more efficient than brick to store heat ⁸Construire une serre, Claudia LORENZ-LADENER, Ulmer, 2013, p. 17.

8) Wood

Wood is a renewable source of energy. Burning wood releases CO₂, but a new tree absorbs this CO₂. Therefore,

The forests are growing. <=> CO₂ in the atmosphere is decreasing.

, even if wood is burnt.

Wood is the fuel of 3/4 of humanity ⁹Petit manuel de l'habitat bioclimatique, François TANGUAY, Éditions de Mortagne, 1988, p. 80. The consumption of wood should be diminished, and solar power should be preferred in order to decrease the pressure on the forests, and save them.

A closed wood stove is much more efficient than a chimney ¹⁰Petit manuel de l'habitat bioclimatique, François TANGUAY, Éditions de Mortagne, 1988, p. 62. Besides, a pipe system can move the heat to every part of the house. You should make plans of your water, heat and electricity networks to allow them a real place.

Quebeckers often say that the efficiency of a wood stove depends mostly on the person who uses  ¹¹Petit manuel de l'habitat bioclimatique, François TANGUAY, Éditions de Mortagne, 1988, p. 85.

Actually, the life in cold countries is not so bad. A friend of mine has been in Finland, the country of saunas, and I have been in Iceland, a volcanic country of ice and fire. We both have felt a calm background.

Another friend has also told me that Vikings were actually quiet farmers. By the way, Vikings means pirates, they were not calling themselves like this.

These countries have a nice economic situation, because the cold orders the psychic energy, and makes it work.

Nobody wants to go in cold countries, so cold makes you safe. I have seen a woman who came from Cambodgia, a terrible dictatorship, and that was living in Iceland. Icelandics are not racist, they are 300,000 people on a big island and this is so little that they always need to see their family trees in order to avoid blood relations... So strangers may be welcome in Iceland.

2- Water

In the bathroom, the ideal temperature of the water is 37 °C, the temperature of the human body. It's different from the air because water is a better thermal conductor.

There are several techniques to reach the ideal temperature.

1) Photothermic

Solar energy is clean and renewable.

Hot water can be provided by photothermic modules. They transform sunlight into hot water, and have a temperature of affinity of 80 °C.

A photothermic module.

Photothermic modules should not face the annual mean position of the Sun, to avoid overheating. They should be oriented more towards the horizon. For example, in Perpignan, 43° North, the photothermic modules should not be oriented to the South at a 43° angle from the zenith, but rather 70°, to avoid overheating in summer and catch the calories in winter.

Think about the roof. On one side, photovoltaic needs to catch the most sunlight, on the other side, photothermic needs to avoid overheating in summer. Therefore, they have different angle requirements.

Freezing can destroy your pipes with ice expansion. To avoid freezing, you must add salt to the water, that is a good antifreeze, close the circuit, and allow heat to be transferred with a heat exchanger.

To move the water to your hot water tank, I suggest you use the double gradient solar thermosiphon. The name is complicated ? Who cares ! The technology is simple.

In each photothermic module, the water expands. 2 photothermic modules will push more than 1. By connecting the pipes like in the figure, you take advantage of this asymetry and establish a spontaneous flow in your circuit.

Watch out with the geometry ! This last technique is not compatible with some geometries, like serpentine.

It has been suggested that water tanks painted in black could replace photothermic modules.

2) Volcanic bath

In saunas and vapor baths, stones are used to store and release heat. This technology is known since Ancient times.

How to take a volcanic bath ? Make a fire, fill your bath with cold water. Put volcanic stones, like granite or basalt in the fire ¹²Comment survivre avec une pierre à feu, Joël BARRAL, Marabout, 2013, p. 96. Definetely volcanic, otherwise they will explode. Once the stones are full of heat, take them with metallic pincers, a fabric protecting your hands, and put them into the water. The stones will release heat slowly, for a long lasting pleasure.

Another thing. Before Japanese take a bath, they take a shower, so that the water of the bath is clean, and the pleasure is pure ¹³Petit manuel de l'habitat bioclimatique, François TANGUAY, Éditions de Mortagne, 1988, p. 119. Logical.

A word about hot springs. Consider them as a free source of hot water. Volcanic geothermy is a subject I know little, due to the absence of this resource in France. If you are interested in that field, I suggest you ask to a specialist.

3) Wood

If sunlight is missing, you have to use wood. As I shall explain later, the electrical and the thermal systems should be separated, to get an important system efficiency. Fossil fuels have been banned because they cannot be found on your own. We must stop fossil fuels once for all, otherwise the climate will become a nightmare of extremes.

3- Cooking

Cooking requires temperatures that cannot be reached with photothermic modules. We need to focus the sunlight in order to achieve higher temperatures, and it can be done thanks to the solar parabola.

1) Solar parabola

Mirrors or lenses can focus sunlight. The higher the concentration, the higher the temperature.

A solar parabola in a garden.

A cooking solar parabola can reach 200 °C, that is enough to cook. The Odeillo's solar furnace, the largest in the world, focuses the sunlight up to more than 10,000 times and can reach temperatures up to more than 3,500 °C. No material resists, even diamond melts. It gives the vision of a futuristic metallurgy, using a clean and renewable source of energy.

Watch out with the clouds ! Because a solar parabola doesn't work when clouds hide the Sun.

2) Wood

When the sky is cloudy, you cannot use a solar parabola. Once again, wood is your friend.

You should have a large garden, with a lot of trees, to provide you with wood. And the trees can also provide you food.

Are you hungry ? The next part of this text will deal about what will be your new work : cultivating the earth.

Autonomous building : the water system

Water is the source of life. Its essence is love, and this is why this material has miraculous properties. It is the most useful material in the world, and also the cheapest.

The thermal system, the agriculture system, require water.

The electrical system works best with water.

Everybody in rich countries knows the magic of the water that falls from a tap when desired. Now, let's learn to reproduce this magic in an autonomous house.

1- Source

When you are into autonomous building, your first choice is the place to settle in. Avoid dry areas, because they lack water. Moreover, you should avoid industrialized areas, because they provide a water full of pesticides, heavy metals... that we prefer to avoid.

A fertile countryside is the best choice. A sunny hill top, a slope diving into a river, or the into the ocean, is a nice choice. Just take a few meters security against the floods, otherwise you will regret it in a big tear bath ;-) .

The sources of water can be a well, a river, the rain, and also the ocean.

1) Well

2) River

3) Rain

4) Ocean

1) Well

Before the industrial era, people used to use wells. They had the advantage of never freezing thanks to the underground, and to offer a bonus supply of water, to overcome the droughts.

They suited well, because the water used to be unpolluted. Logically, they are still a good way to store water, under the condition that this water is later purified. You need to remove large dirt particles, bacterias and chemicals.

2) River

Running through the landscape scenery, a river is a good source of water. It's also the best way to make electricity.

Once again, watch out with the industry. If you think that people reject bad things in the upstream river, don't hesitate and choose the most efficient method of purification. You need to remove large dirt particles, bacterias and chemicals.

3) Rain

Rain water is pure. It's so pure that it lacks vital minerals. Pure and toxic. You got it ? It means you need to mineralize this water after.

To collect rain water, you need a large surface of roof. Check that the roof and everything before storage has no heavy metal, like ¹ The autonomous house, Brenda and Robert VALE, Universe books, 1975, p. 139. Then, make your calculation.

Provided there is no loss, the area of roof you need is given by the formula

A=C/R

where

• A is the needed area ;
• C is the annual mean consumption of water in the household ;
• R is the annual mean rainfall.

Always write the units. 10 m = 1,000 cm, but 10 does not equal 1,000 ! Do it, otherwise you have a high risk of false result.

You need to find the metorogical data for the sites you consider. Find out, and calculate.

For instance, the individual German water consumption in 2016 was 312 cubic meters. Other countries statistics can be seen at https://www.statista.com/statistics/263156/water-consumption-in-selected-countries/. In the city of Freiburg, the annual mean rainfall is 930 mm.

312 m^3/930 mm= 335 m².

The metric system rocks ! But as you can see, the required surface is huge, and this case was optimistic... Think about building a greenhouse to increase this surface.

You need to remove large dirt particles and bacterias.

4) Ocean

Ocean water receives all the pollution from the ground and deserves the highest purification. You need to remove large dirt particles, bacterias and chemicals.

2- Transport

One of the first success of civilization was to build irrigation systems. This kind of system can be divided in two parts : moving up and moving down.

1) Moving up

I'll tell you straight : move your fucking ass and move this water up by the strength of your arms !

But if you are smart, you notice that a water pump consumes 20 W and realize it's reasonable, so the pump becomes your best friend !

 

An electrical pump.

However, in case of blackout, you have no pump. If you use a water tower, you can pump once for several months of water, so you don't need to pump every time.

2) Moving down

I am of the opinion that channels digged in soil are the most efficient way to move water down. Make a plan and remain simple in geometry. There is beauty in simplicity, but also efficiency :-) .

3- Storage

1) Well

Large dirt particles, chemicals and bacterias can float on the surface of a well water. If you want to use it as your only container, you have to filter, remove chemicals and bacterias each time you use the water. As we will see after, this can be done only with a special well.

2) Water tower

The water tower allows you to store water, and also to have pressure for your taps. You need to pump a good time, then you can benefit from the tap water without the use of a pump, thanks to gravitational energy :-) .

The water doesn't freeze as long as you use it.

The bacterias should be removed before sealing by cleaning the water tower with chlorinated water. In France, a specialist told me that the tap water has 0.3 mg/L of chlorine, to kill bacterias.

The water gets mineralized if the water tower is built with rock or concrete.

It's possible to take the rock from the well to build the water tower.

The height of an industrial water tower is 20-30 m, to reach 2-3 bars. But in practice, 1 bar is used by some houses, so you don't need to make such a big building in your garden.

To know the good height, make an experiment. Use a plastic pipe. Make holes of the diameter of your tap. Block them with gum. Close one end, fill with water and put it vertically. Remove the gums. You see how it flows ? Choose what you like.

4- Purification

Why purifying water ?

Water needs to be purified for three reasons.

First, removing the large dirt particles. Typical large dirt particles : leaves, soil.

Second, removing the harmful bacterias. Typical harmful bacterias : Salmonella, responsible of salmonellosis, especially in hot countries.

Third, removing the chemicals. Typical chemicals : heavy metals, lead. Some minerals like NaCl, cooking salt, are welcome in small quantities, because they are necessary for life.

Just another thing. Chemicals include pesticides from industrial agriculture. They have a disastreous effect, even indirectly, when eating industrial food. The boys who eat pesticides keep a little penis. This is no joke. Pesticides are known to cause hormone trouble. Watch out with the pesticides !

There are several techniques to achieve purification.

1) Solar still

Solar energy is clean and renewable. The Earth receives from the light of the Sun more than 10,000 times the energy that humanity consumes ²http://www.photovoltaique.info/-Le-soleil-source-d-energie-.html.

How does a solar still work ?. Under the sunlight, the water evaporates, then condenses in another place. This technology removes all the chemicals, but not bacterias.

A solar still. The system is underground to prevent temperature extremes, especially freezing. The water from the outer recipient evaporates and condenses on the plastic, the dew moves downwards and fall into the inner recipient, now free from chemicals. Watch out with the plastic, for the drops may fall on a bad place.

The surface needed depends on the annual mean solar insulation of the location. The more sunshine, the less surface needed. Remember that clouds decrease the insulation by 80-90 \%, and that the angle of the Sun, that is not facing the surface, is a major source of decrease in power.

Don't worry about intermittence. Your water is in the underground, stored in safety.

When you need your solar purified water, pump. Look at the figure again. You see the U-tube ? It helps you pumping.

2) Filter candle

Ceramic was widely used in Ancient history. Today, you can remove bacterias thanks to filter candles, that are made of ceramic. Cheap, you just need to fix them to your tap. The inside must be changed every two years 2The autonomous house, Brenda and Robert VALE, Universe books, 1975, p. 153.

A filter candle.

Actually, you don't need to purify all the water. In the UK in 1975, only 3 \% of house water was used for drinking and cooking ³The autonomous house, Brenda and Robert VALE, Universe books, 1975, p. 137}. So, a single filter candle in the kitchen may be enough.

However, children can drink the water from the bathroom. Think about it.

3) Boiling

So, you want to kill bacterias ? There is another method, more radical.

Boiling the water during 5 minutes kills the bacterias ⁴The autonomous house, Brenda and Robert VALE, Universe books, 1975, p. 152. In poor countries, people use this method to purify water, then shake the water to oxygenize it, otherwise the water is not good. ⁵Xavier PY, lessons of thermal storage, Université de Perpignan Via Domitia, 2016

Boiling the water is traditionally made with wood, but this method causes forest destruction. In sunny countries, it's being replaced by concentrated solar power.

The compound parobolic collector focuses the light of the Sun onto a transparent pipe. It can boil running water. This system needs no tracker. It only works with direct sunshine, without clouds.

The solar parabola focuses the light of the Sun onto a receiver. This system needs a tracker to face the Sun. It only works with direct sunshine, without clouds.

4) Chlorine

Ah, chlorine. My dear industrial friend. You fuck my nose every time I go to the swimming pool, this is why I prefer to go with my naked friends in the Nature ! No, the vision of nudity has nothing sexual ! :-D

OK, then. 0.3 mg of chlorine per liter. No more. 4 drops of bleach per liter ⁵https://www.wikihow.com/Purify-Water. It kills bacterias.

5) Waste stabilization pond

Let's talk about downstream. Altruism towards people downstream leads you to use a waste stabilization pond.

Without, the water gets eutrophized, lacks oxygen, and water lenses will kill every other forms of life. No fish, no frog, nothing, but water lenses.

Water lenses invasion.

This phenomenom of eutrophization comes from an excess of nitrates NO₃^- and phosphates PO₄^3-. They are the materials required for fertilizers.

So, if you make a pond before your neighbors downstream, you can make this process happen before and save the ecosystem. Bacterial degradation of those chemicals happens in the pond. You need to remove the large dirt particles at the surface.

 A waste stabilization pond.

There is an aesthetical, French variation of this system : la phytoépuration (vegetal epuration).

Some plants, like Phragmites australis reed, can absorb and accumulate lead. This is bioaccumulation.

The use of vegetals enhances bacterial degradation of nitrates and phosphates. Many plants can take part in vegetal epuration, but Phragmites australis, an invading plant, is the most efficient for this purpose.

Phragmites australis loves the water.

Remember that vegetal epuration is mainly aesthetical. People who advocate for it ask you to bring your chemical waste to the waste La Maison écologique (French magazine), February-March 2018}, proving that this system is not efficient enough for the people downstream. Nevertheless, it's an expression of a quest of harmony.

6) Filtering

Soil, leaves, making the water dirt. Ugh. It's better using a filter before.

The magic of coffee also needs a filter. Honestly, you should abuse of it because it makes efficient :-) .

Don't forget to clean the filter sometimes. Every part of an autonomous house needs maintenance.

5- How to save water ?

Let's come to a big question : how to save water ?

Take a look at the following data.

UK and USA water consumption.

31 % of the water consumption in the UK is for the toilets. You can save this water by using dry toilets.

28 % of the water consumption in the UK is for the personal hygiene. You can save a part of this water with several methods. First, taking baths less often. Second, using an atomizer for the washbasin. Third, make the dishes by filling a bowl with a little warm water, add dish liquid and use it with your sponge, then cleanse in a basin of cold water.

9 % of the water consumption in the UK is for the laundry. Maybe you can save a part of this water using an ultrasound washing machine ⁶The autonomous house, Brenda and Robert VALE, Universe books, 1975, p. 159.

6 % of the water consumption in the UK is for the garden and the car. But an autonomous house needs far more water for the garden, because you need to grow your own food.

3 \% of the water consumption in the UK is for drinking and cooking. I suggest you drink a lot of water, and avoid junk food. This water is vital, you should make no sacrifice with it.

A word about toilets. Modern Japanese toilets use a flush of water to cleanse the asshole. You feel like being fucked by an Asian, but it lets your ass all clean ! The feeling of cleanness is incredible. You cannot know if you have not experienced.\\

For your wellness, I suggest you use a bidet with an atomizer, and dry with a little towel.

Water is your first material need. I have not written about air, because I assumed an autonomous house would be far from the air nightmares like the city of Tokyo. Ventilation will be dealt in the following part : the thermal system.

Autonomous building : presentation

Since the invention of agriculture, the fate of most humanity has been to be exploited by a minority of parasites, working for them and receiving only a small part of the benefice.

If you want to put an end to this evil system, either you have to change it, either you have to leave it.

I am of the opinion that direct opposition is meaningless, due to the incredible superiority of strength of the ones who oppress us. Therefore, I think we have to leave this system.

Let’s do it wisely, otherwise we will end in the street, like a young tramp I have known. On my side, I have two projects that go in that way : Oneiric Hive, a renewable energy company with equality of wages and power, and the φάρμα των άστρων, an autonomous house in Greece.

In this article, I’ll talk to you about autonomous building. More than leaving the system, it is about feeling in harmony with Nature.

My article will be divided in four parts : water, heat, food and electricity. I have been thinking for years about this, and I will document this article both with books and Internet.

I wish you a nice reading.

Corentin CHAROUSSET, master in solar power

Revolution of love

Loss of freedom on the Internet, Black Friday, coronavirus... Aren't you tired of all those crises ?
Aren't you tired of all those jobs of shit, paid a misery, boring, exhausting, with a tyrannic boss ?
Aren't you tired of all those flats of shit, without garden, insulated like shit and grey and sad ?

I think it's time to make the revolution. But this time, revolution will be based upon love.

Haven't you noticed a wind of freedom in the field of sexuality ? The revolution of love is coming.

Everywhere in the world, let's meet on the grass, everyone brings something to eat. Everyone kisses, hugs... Everyone presents oneself and exposes their problems. Together, we will discuss to find a solution.

May love be with you !

Love is the basis of resistance

A study published in the magazine Pour la science demonstrated that, if young trees receive more touch, they will grow wide instead on high, making them more resistant. Affection grows defensive instead of offensive.

Even though the higher trees get more sunlight and make shadow to the young wide trees, we know that in case of crisis, the defensive populations succeed whereas the others fail. It explains why defensive populations like ants, termites and bees, eventually succeed, and cover a wide surface of biosphere.

A strong baobab, grown wide by touch.

2019 has been a difficult year for all of us, but we all have a chance to succeed. Even though the crisis is hard, we all have a part of resilience, a glint of affection to overcome the trouble.

Love is the solution to the crisis. Making us better and stronger, love is the force inside all of us that moves the world along the road of progress.

Advice for intelligent people

There are some things that are so obvious that I haven't even taken the time to mention them on this website. I've decided to talk about them now.

The fool who listens will not remain stupid. The fool who doesn't listen will always remain a fool. So please, listen to what I write here, I guess it's not stupid...

Have good sense

This is so obvious that I haven't even said that before. If you want to cross a road and if the light is green, but a car is coming and threatens to crush you, don't cross the road. Good sense.

Don't follow the others stupidly

If the other people around you do something, it doesn't mean that they are right. Maybe they are all doing the same mistake.

I have absolutely no respect for the pathetic inferior beings sheep who follow the others stupidly without thinking, so please, don't hesitate to be different and do something better.

There are innumerable examples of history where all the people did the same mistake, because they didn't think by themselves and followed the group stupidly. Don't do like this. Don't hesitate to be different, and do things better.

Don't take drugs

Really. Just don't. And if you take something by accident, just stop everything immediately.

Be simple

There is beauty in simplicity, but also a part of intelligence. Simple doesn't mean easy, but this is the way to go.

Einstein said :

"Genius consists in making complicated things simple, not making simple things complicated."

Most things can be understood by a 6 year old child. Einstein also said that if you are not able to explain something to a 6 year old child, it means you haven't understood well.

Be a good person

This is so obvious that I have'nt even said that before. Do good things. If you do wrong things, not only will you make other people suffer, but you will eventually be punished for all the evil you have done.

Good things make people happy.
Evil things make people suffer.

Do to the others what you would like they do to you.
And really, don't do to the others what you wouldn't like they do to you.

Don't let the others beat you

If you attack first, you are wrong, but if someone attacks you, you should strike back. Whatever the size of their bank account, don't let the others beat you.

If you don't strike back and rebel against those who abuse their authority, they will take advantage of this weakness and make you a miserable puppet. Be an adult and strike back.

Don't buy their shit

There are a lot of traders who will try to sell useless, expensive things. Don't buy their shit. Epicurus said :

"It's a chance that useful things are cheap, and useless things are expensive."

Even if they try to push you, don't buy their shit. The best things you can find in this world can be found for free, so really, don't buy their shit.

Don't be stupid

This is so obvious that I haven't even taken the time to say that before. If you are ready to give up the screens and read books, you will benefit from the others' experience and develop your fantasy. Fantasy is more important than knowledge, so don't hesitate to take the time to dream of a better world.

Travel

The experience you can make by travelling is by far superior to the one you will find in the university. You will learn other ways of thinking, other ways of living, discover beautiful landscapes, meet people... You will learn a lot of things. The further you travel, the more you understand that things can be different, the languages, the cultures, the societies... You will become more open-minded and tolerant.

Don't stay at home. The worst people are the ones who never left the place where they are born. Because they are stupid, arrogant, racist, xenophobic, and miserable stubborn inferior beings. They know nothing about the world, they know nothing about life, they just know nothing.

To conclude this article, I've decided to offer you a cool music. I hope you'll enjoy :-) .

Communication techniques : comparison

We have never had so many ways to communicate, and in the same time, we've never communicated so little. So it's time to question things. In this article, I will make a comparison of the different communication technologies. I will try to be objective, to base myself on rational arguments, ignoring the fashion and the pathetic conformism that unfortunately, too many people have. No, I don't forgive stupidity :-D .

# 6 Mobile phone

 

I'll be honest : this method of communication is the worst. SMS, chat, What's app... Mobile phones generate more and more parasite communication technologies : the junk com.

Junk com is like junk food : quantity, not quality.

Most of the people I have lost touch with were with mobile phone. Such things happened before numeric technologies, but it was much rarer.

# 5 Home phone

 

Before the numeric technologies, home phones were popular in France. They offered stable connections between notables, knowledgeable people like doctors or engineers who have a good and strong local reputation. Those notables still use the home phone, but they are the old generation. Today, the home phone suffers from an intermediate position, and may be replaced by the traditional mail.

I don't know about videotelephony, but I feel like it's the coldest.

# 4 E-mail

 

Often neglected, the e-mail remains one of the best ways to communicate. Historically, the e-mail was the first application of the Internet, and will remain for a long time. All things are not ephemeral, and the things that are promised to the brightest future are also the most ancient.

The e-mail allows you anything : you can attach any file with it. Unfortunately, this is not the safest way to communicate, as numeric technologies are more vulnerable.

# 3 Mail

The mail solves that problem. The further you need to communicate, the slower you must communicate. Paper is good for that.

Besides, the seal technology allows you even more safety. You put the wax, and push your personal stamp. When your correspondant receives the letter, if the seal has been broken, it means that someone intercepted it, has probably read the information, and maybe modified it. If the seal is intact, everything is fine.

We are all tired of bills and advertisement. But what if you receive a love letter ? This is so rare that you will remember about it all your life. The love letter remains one of the most romantic ways of communicating.

Besides, the paper has indeed an affectuous value. Post cards are also an affectuous way to communicate. The feel of the paper, as well as the artistic touch of beautiful landscapes photographs, will remain a treasure in the furniture of your family and friends.

The mail also allows you to do anything. You can send anything as a package, and a single USB key, sent with an enveloppe and protected from the rain by a plastic bag, allows you to send any kind of numeric file. Actually, the paper has a subversive power, necesary for the Revolution of Love and the explosion of the old sick system into a new system, where people would be free and equal.

In my opinion, the paper mail remains the best telecommunication, because it's the slowest. If you want to get faster, you must get closer :-) .

# 2 Real people

Actually, talking with real people remains the best way to communicate. The human heat of a real friend is a quality connection your will never find on those antisocial networks. You can eat together, you can touch each other, and if you are lucky, maybe you can have more...

# 1 Sex

Sex is by far the highest way of communication between humans. It's a fusion of minds and bodies. You can touch this person a lot, you can smell this person, and if you have an orgasm, you will love it.

Maybe we should give up those stupid technologies, and yearn for more humanity. Useful things are cheap, and useless things are expensive. A condom is cheap, and will give you much more energy than those stupid, useless and cold phones ! To live happy, we need little technology, and a lot of love ! :-)

Conclusion

Money doesn't make happiness. Many people use televisions, telephones, cars... But why ? To be honest, those technologies make people very sad (and Nature as well). If you go to the countryside, Nature will help you to become autonomous. Become autonomous !

Together, with the strength of solidarity, let's put an end to our lives of shit and build a new world, where the parasites are no more, where discrimination, war and misery belong to the past, and where we can live happy in autonomy.
