Top 3 stories of 2011
1) Fukushima showed why we should never expect technology to be foolproof. There are always unintended consequences. This great tragedy should not have happened. It was hubris, hubris and shareholder value. Unfortunately aside from Europe pulling out of GE designed crap, and the likelihood of new crap being built, the message did not hit home. The Japanese people moved like lambs to the slaughter, and the Game of Thrones became even more relevant.
2) Euro collapse proved that reality makers are frauds. The financial manipulation of the past 30 years has nearly played out. Financial services as a percentage of GDP in both the UK and USA went from some 10% in the 70’s to 30% before the bust. That is the problem; an economy based upon magic cannot feed itself.
3) Cancer cured by using modified HIV cells. This is the cure we have been waiting for. For those with the finances in a generation disease may be a memory.
