Didik, January 1, 2021 It is fascinating to note that as a result of the government imposed Covid-19 restrictions, that for a period of time, an estimated 30% of the population was out of work, and yet the country did not experience any long term shortages, in any area. One might say that this is a wake-up call for companies to show them that they have too many redundant employees. read more Does constant mask wearing reduce cognitive ability? Studies have shown that people inhale between 7% and 12% of their exhaled breath, with an accumulation of carbon dioxide. Does this cause minor cognitive loss for the wearer over time? Further, over time, the masks quickly become both moist as well as becomes a breading ground for bacteria. Also, does the additional stress on the lungs to breath through a filter effects the lungs? More studies must be performed to determine if mask wearing causes biological issues as well as psychological issues over time. Private ownership and strong goals are on the decline.

Each group has their good and bad and one must not fall into the trap of assuming that everyone in a particular group is the same or thinks the same. Sometimes in our rush or arrogance, we forget these basic truths. Global Warming will greatly benefit society. Many people have been led to believe that if the planet continues to get warmer at the ever so pace that it has been warming for hundreds of years, that somehow it is bad for society. The exact opposite is true. Global warming will be wonderful for society. It will be far greater areas will be able to be cultivated, leading to vastly more food supplies. Global warming To continue, click here and scroll down the page The first thing that a child or even an adult learns on any topic, is assumed to be true. After that, it is extremely difficult to change that person opinion, even with overwhelming evidence that the first thing that they heard was false. Changing such a embedded opinion must be gradual, with the planting the seeds, of the correct point of view and slowly over time, work to change that opinion. Constant Smart Phone Use Constant cell phone / smart phone use dramatically reduces creativity and productivity. It acts as a constant distraction. Many, if not most people, waste hours upon hours of time on these devices. I recommend that a person leave their "smart" phone at home and enjoy outside, electronic free and observe society for how it really is. Many people are consumed by worry. Worry holds a person back and prevents them from adequately thinking things through. The media is a major source of worry, with its constant To continue, click here and scroll down the page BITCOIN: Bitcoins and other "crypto-currencies" are backed by nothing more than the gullibility and wishful thinking of the Bitcoin holder.

Important quotes from my friends from around the world, that I completely agree with and I am sure that most people would as well: "Do not generalize, but rather individualize." --Daniela D. in Germany, who works for the German diplomatic Chancellery. "Never get angry with anyone. Who knows, perhaps one day that person will save the world!" --Yuka S., who works for Aoyama University in Tokyo (and Kanagawa). "It is important to always remember that every person you encounter has their own goals and aspirations, trails and tribulations and deserves equal respect." --Sue Ann M. in Durham, North Carolina.     A $40 per hour minimum wage? ...Frank X. Didik, September 22, 2021  In 1962, the average 35 year old working man was able to support a wife, 3 or 4 children, own a house in the suburbs, have 2 cars and had enough money to go on a vacation once or twice a year. Today, it takes two highly educated people working to buy a small one or two bedroom coop or condo, car ownership is rare and they can only afford to have one or two children at best. To achieve what a man in 1962 made per week and to regain the standard of living of that time, the minimum wage must be increased to $40 per hour. The gradual decline over the past 60 years should be changed. Perhaps "shock treatment" that was recommended to the former communist countries in Eastern Europe by "experts" from leading American Universities, should be the guide for this sudden increase in the average (minimum) wage. Several things would happen. First, people would initially spend much more money and this would almost instantly create huge demand. At the same time, it is very possible that prices would go up, though perhaps not as fast as one might expect, since production efficiency is much greater today than in 1962. Finally, it might be necessary to implement trade barriers. This of course would run counter to the direction of globalism. Perhaps it is time to modify the notion of globalism and take into account the different global cultures, work ethics and achievements. We seem to be living in a virtual or fake world. Everywhere you go, you see people walking down the street, staring at their cell phone, often with "ear buds", completely oblivious to the outside world. ...read more Were the Wright Brothers the wrong brothers?

Didik This website displays designs, projects, proposals and innovations by Frank Didik, but this site has also served to inspire people to bring their ideas to fruition. All too often, people have great dreams in high school and college but within a few years after graduation, these ideas gradually become a distant memory. I encourage everyone to do what ever you are good at and try to make your dreams a reality. What people do today represents the future of our great planet. Go out and do whatever you can do, to the best of your ability. Are Sunglasses Dangerous? Sunglasses reduces reaction time, since it takes longer for the brain to process a darker image then a well lit image. This could lead to potentially dangerous situations. Some Stereo 3D systems used a dark glass and a lighter glass for two different eyes to achieve the 3D effect, though polarized glasses are more common. The playgrounds are empty but the dog runs are full. No children, only dogs. I have noticed that in New York City, the playgrounds are empty but the dog runs are full. People are no longer getting married, and having families. Where will this all lead to? When I was a child growing up in NYC, there were children everywhere and the stores catered to families, rather than individual single people. The best boutiques along Madison Avenue on Manhattan's upper east side, always had play areas for the children, so that the children could play, while the mothers shopped. We children knew which stores had the best toys and demanded to go to those stores, which in most cases, were the most expensive stores! A sizable portion of the population are no longer getting married and forming families, but read more Natural Gas substitutes Before 1947 in the USA and late 1960's in Europe, countries used first wood gas and then later coal gas, as this plant in Seatle, Washington prouced till the mid 1950's read more Natural Gas.

This is particularly necessary in crowded urban areas. With the proliferation of bicycles, more and more accidents and related injuries are occurring to both the cyclist as well as pedestrians. A basic form of a license plate for bicycles as well as liability insurance is clearly necessary. Where have all the insects and birds gone? Just a few years ago, when I would drive in the country, my windshield would be covered with insects that had hit the car. This simply does not happen anymore. Has the insect population somehow died out? No one seems to talk about this. Has insecticides or plastics or radio transmissions somehow effected them? Further, I have noticed a large drop in the number of birds that we have in the cities as well as in the countryside. It seems that we are headed towards, a silent spring.

We have often heard that giving unsolicited advice is wrong but read more Is everyone equal? Certainly in the Christian world and by extension, under the law, everyone is equal. However the fact that everyone has the same intrinsic value mean that everyone is entitled to the same? Should people who are more ambitious, or people who have better ideas, benefit from their efforts? Societies that have attempted to distribute wealth equally among all people have always failed. People need an incentive to work hard and be productive. War against personal freedom? It seems that many countries have embarked on a program that limits personal freedom for the alleged common good. For example, many cities around the world have expanded bicycle lanes at the expense of limiting automobile lanes. Of course an automobile implies both freedom of travel and overall prosperity. The bicycle lanes tend to be an excuse since bicycle lanes only benefit the young and fit people, mostly men under the age of 40. The plan to eliminate gasoline powered cars and replce them with electric cars is a fantasy since far fewer people will be able to afford an electric car and the range and slow charging time of an electric car prevents long road trips. The theory of Climate Change is used, by design or default are limiting personal freedom of travel and preventing one to do as one pleases. Frank Didik's opinion On Education Rethinking school and our education system Should everyone attend college or university? ... read more ... Wisdom: I believe that wisdom can not be taught, but rather wisdom is a unique gift of understanding that a person is born with. Can a college or a university really teach a person to be a businessman or an artist or good in any particular field? ... read more ... How come all college undergraduate degree's require four years? Should some degrees require only one year while others perhaps six years? ... read more ... Weak Students: I have long believed that in a classroom environment, the weak student holds the better students back. The idea of putting a weak student with better students is a disservice to both the weak as well as the better students. President Thomas Jefferson wrote how a slow person holds back the others, rather than catching up to the others. It should also be recognized that not all people have the same ability and potential in every field. Two individuals completing the same university program and having the same grades and degree, does not make them equal in ability and potential. Students should not be told that they can succeed at anything that they try to do. What courses should and should not be taught at college or university? Can college or a university teach a person how to be a good business person, or how to be creative? ... read more ... Teaching: I feel that it is not possible to teach a person to be creative or a good businessman and the same applies to many other fields. You can only expose that person to what has already been done and the current understanding of the tools and materials of the trade and perhaps with this understanding, the student can expand upon this knowledge. Learning: My view is that almost all learning is through observation and questioning. This underscores the importance of parents to teach their children and expose their children to the parents daily lives. In today's society, most parents are forced to work and thus the child has only limited exposure to the richness of the parents understanding of things. I would also argue that when a parent is walking with a child, that the parent should not be using their cell phone or texting and instead be devoting their full attention to the child. Schools, as they exist today, have a limited ability to truly train/educate a student and most of what is taught to the student is repeated over and over with little practical use for the student after graduation. So many students today study for years and yet after graduation, never use what they have learned or what they have learned is of little relevance to their lives. The playgrounds are empty but the dog runs are full. No children, only dogs. I have noticed that in New York City, the playgrounds are empty but the dog runs are full. People are no longer getting married, and having families. Where will this all lead to? When I was a child growing up in NYC, there were children everywhere and the stores catered to families, rather than individual single people.

We children knew which stores had the best toys and demanded to go to those stores, which in most cases, were the most expensive stores! Where have all the twenty something year olds gone? Strolling down fashionable Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York City recently, it struck me how the average age of the crowded streets seems older than in the past. I would guess that the average age of the people I saw was around 35 years old. Twenty years ago, the average age would have been probably around 25 years old. Why? I will further guess that the answer is that many people are postponing marriage and having far fewer children. Perhaps the high student debt or perhaps women seeking careers over family or perhaps the hook-up culture is the culprit. Regardless, this does not bode well for the future and increasing family commitments is a must for a healthy society. --- Feb 11, 2019 The aging population is a sad, worldwide industrial nation phenomenon. I am in Tokyo for a few days and have been here many times before. In 2002, I would guess that the average age on the street was about 24 years old. Today, I would guess the average age is about 35 years old. --- Feb 26, 2019       Reduced intelligence levels and separately, reduced cognitive ability? It seems that with many forms of modern technology, such as the cellular telephone/smart phone, which is really a window to the knowledge of the world, people have stopped being innovative and thinking for themselves and rather simply rely on their device. One would have thought that the exact opposite would have occurred, but it has not. Further, over the past three years, there seems to be a mark decline in cognitive ability. Some say the the recently developed Covid vaccination causes micro blood clots, but this has yet to be proven. Something however is causing a decline in rapid thinking and cognitive ability in the population. Life was easier in the middle ages, 1000 years ago? Perhaps, at least in Europe. First, farming is far less demanding than one might think. In traditional farms, the work was primarily for a few weeks during planting season and then for a few weeks during the harvest. The rest of the time was rather easy. Further, a thousand years ago in Europe, there were as many "Holy Days" (the world "holiday" is a derivative of the "holy day") as work days. Thus a working year was about 175 days, rather than 254 days that it is today. Further today, most jobs are 8 hours of constant work in one spot, while 1000 years ago, work was not as intense. As far as longevity, we know know that people 1000 years ago, based on grave stones, lived about the same length as today, that is between 75 and 80 years on average. Further, modern diseases such as heart disease, diabetes or cancer, for example, was very rare. "Finding truth on the internet, is like finding a diamond in a pile of broken glass".

Change Change for the sake of change, is wrong. Change is only good if it improves something or if it improves the existence of human kind. Expand what is in the public domain and sphere Expand public service, even if the entity is privately owned. The United States courts have ruled that the common space in shopping malls are public space and a form of a new Town Square. It is now time that search engines, credit card companies, banks, phone companies and other similar entities must also be considered a form of a Town Square. These entities must not be allowed to inhibit free speech or To continue, click here and scroll down the page The Effectiveness of VACCINES If vaccines work, why should the vaccinated worry about the unvaccinated? Further, why should anyone, for any reason, be required to be vaccinated? This applies to jobs, schools, audiences and all other social and business areas. Moving ahead It is difficult to accomplish things and move ahead if you are always busy. You must take the time to step back and think things through. Evolution of American English Accents I have noticed that accents evolve very quickly. If you were to watch a movie from the 1930's, 1940's or any other time, you will notice that people from each period have distinct accents. Recently, I have noticed that first generation Americans, who perhaps grew up in bilingual families, for example Polish or Chinese families, have a distinct, new American accent. I presume that over time, everyone's accent will be significantly different in years to come. Frank Didik, February 1, 2022 Collapse in the standard of living I believe that the standard of living in the United States was highest in the early 1960's. In 1962, the average 35 year old working man was able to support a wife, 3 or 4 children, own a house in the suburbs, have 2 cars and had enough money to go on a vacation once or twice a year.

Didik in Central Park, Manhattan, New York City, on April 11, 2023  Thoughts by Frank Didik Random thoughts on science, business and society today. What if and what can or might be. In 1812, Napoleon wrote that "History is a myth agreed upon". I say that these days, "science is a myth agreed upon". So much of alleged science today is complete nonsense. The definition of science is the ability to test and retest and always get the same results. Anything that can not be tested is speculation and should fall under the domain of philosophy, not science. What is the speed of gravity? If it is instantaneous, then what if gravity can be modulated? Today most scientists, assume that the speed of gravity is the same as the speed of light, but what if the speed of gravity is instantaneous? Further, if gravity can be modulated, it might allow for instantaneous universal communication. Thus it might be possible to communicate with space craft instantly, rather than waiting for minutes for transmissions to reach the craft or earth. Perhaps computer chips can be made to operate vastly faster. And this is just the beginning since ...read more ... Frank X. Didik aboard "The Futurist" in New York Harbor.

The late Christopher Hitchens often stated that we should rely on our logic, reason and intellect to determine the truth. Many people who pride themselves as educated, intelligent and progressive believe the same. As reasonable as this seems, Galileo proved over 400 years ago that our logic, reason and intellect is unreliable and that only direct experimental data, should be relied upon. Galileo had dropped two balls of the same material, but different masses, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to demonstrate that they would hit the ground at the same time, rather than the heavier ball hitting the ground first, as almost everyone, including Aristotle, 2000 years ago, had assumed. Our logic, reason and intellect is not reliable and should only be viewed as speculation. Only direct experimentation and obtaining the same results, over and over again should be relied upon.

Further, most people ride bikes in warm, favorable weather and rarely in the rain, snow or cold weather. Old Computer Formats and the longevity of our digitally stored knowledge. Are we entering into a "pre-history" era? How can we preserve our computer written records, books, photographs, video and knowledge? If you wanted to, would you be able to read a: 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" or 8" floppy? cd-rom or a dvd? 12" optical disk? 9 track tape? IBM punch card? Paper punch tape? If you can not read these one or two generation old formats today, how will society be able to read these documents in 200 years from now?

For the last 100 years, we have been experiencing the collapse of real science. Theories, speculation and fantasy is the norm today. By definition, the scientific method is the ability to test and re-test and always get the same results, over and over. If an idea or a theory can not be tested, the idea must be viewed as speculation and not considered true, till that idea is proven without a doubt. Scientific theory has moved to areas that are beyond our present capability of testing and gradually a number of unproven theories have become accepted as fact without any real proof. Further, new theories have been developed based on old theories. Thus we have a situation where science today is largely based on theory upon theory. If something can not be proven, it falls into the realm of philosophy rather than science. This has led to...read more ... Science and media hype: Any sudden "revolutionary" scientific discovery, even if such discovery is written about in every newspaper and scientific journal, should be greeted with skepticism. Such a discovery should only be accepted after the bulk of scientists have have had a chance to review the discovery and confirm that it is in fact correct. Such things that come to mind include cold fusion, the so called "God Particle" and even the recent stated discovery of a "gravitational wave". All too often such media hype has come and gone without any real discovery or fundamental change. ..read more ... What percentage of information, contained in science books is accurate and true?

Eclipse in Upstate New York Eclipse in Upstate New York: April 8, 2024 The width of totality was about 109 miles/170km and lasted for little more than 3 minutes. A total eclipse is vastly different than a 99% eclipse. Within just 4 seconds, the temperature dropped by 7 degrees Fahrenheit. The colors, for some unexplained reason, seemed to shift. Further, our digital cameras did not seem to function well and read more interesting observations --- Frank X Didik, April 8 2024. Frank X. Didik theory of theories: People often forget that any "science" that has the word "theory" in it is mere speculation without any substantial proof. For example, the atomic "theory", or the "Theory" of evolution, Big-Bang "Theory", theory that stars are suns, theory that there are millions of other planets and universes, the theory of climate change, and the list goes on and on. So many things are taught in our schools without any real proof are mentioned so often that people accept these thoughts are unquestionably real, but the fact is that all of them are mere speculation that may or may not be true. Some things are accepted as fact, that may not be true or accurate. Such things as carbon 14 dating, or the age of certain stratigraphy or fossils are all suspect. Truthfully, we just do not know. Science is the ability to test and retest and always get the same results. If something can not be tested, it falls under the domain of philosophy. This 3 foot high speculative recreation of what looks like a monkey or a Hollywood creation, is on display at the National Museum of Ancient History in Ueno Tokyo. The museum states that this creature is what human's "evolved" from, for those who actually believe in "evolution". The museum complex is excellent, though I do not accept their conclusions. There are so many theories that perhaps the museum should be renamed "The Museum of Speculation and Wishful Thinking"! Sadly, many museums around the world repeat the same speculations without proof. Science today attempts to prove natural phenomenon without the existence of God. Another way of saying this is that science is attempting to prove the God does not exist. Unfortunately many things that so-called "modern" science clings to are very dubious at best. Without Proof There is always something that some people will believe without proof. For example: if an atheist is asked if God exists, will immediately say such things as only primitive people believe in God or those who will not accept "science", etc. When asked about ghosts, spirits, astrology the atheist may again say that it is complete nonsense. However if you ask the atheist if he/she believes in life on other planets, the existence of millions of planets and solar systems, global warming, and most of what is in books on the current view of the pre-historic world, the atheist may well accept it even though there is not a shred of evidence that any of this is real. Other concepts that are often accepted without proof include:  The theory of "black holes", The acceptance that the decay rate of radioactive elements to be a constant, rather than varying over time or because of outside influences, such as pressure, temperature, etc. If the decay rate is not a constant, it will completely effect the notion of carbon dating, a method that is already questionable. Human caused global warming Evolution The atomic model of protons, electrons, neutrons and a host of "sub atomic particles". That stars are suns The expanding universe or big bang theory The speculative belief that life exists on other planets ...and the list goes on and on.       From the right, Frank Didik, Dr. Eric Bitterman, Chairman of Deutsche Welle, Dr. Joachim Reppmann, and publisher Walter at the Von Steuben formal event in New York City.

Didik is the Chairman of the News1 Corporation The End of White Collar Jobs These relics in Williamsburg Park along the East River are a reminder to Americans of America's great industrial past. With Artificial Intelligence (AI) rapidly making gains, many so called "white collar" jobs will be lost and perhaps the USA will wish it still had it's industrial base. In 1978, former President Jimmy Carter deals with China that allowed former American companies to fire Americans and move manufacturing operations to China, with it's labor force making a fraction of the wage that Americans had been making. Americans were told that we were now a management county of white collar workers and the dirty work will be performed overseas. Today it is only a matter of time before the majority of white collar jobs disappear. This includes the majority of office workers, so called "tech " workers, programers and those who are in "finance". AI can do these jobs faster and better. The decline of the middle class, that had its heyday from the end of World War 2 till the late 1960's and has been declining since then, will accelerate into oblivian. There is very little to be done about this. Jobs that require technical skill, such as plumbing, electricians, mechanics and similar will still be in high demand in the near future. --Frank X.

Thus everything that you buy or sell or are permitted to buy or sell will be known and potentially controlled. -April 11, 2023 The power and effect of interest on wealth and savings. Many people do not understand the true cost and effect of interest over time. For example, if you put $10 in a bank account you will have the following after 100 years: At 3% interest, compounded yearly: $192.19 At 6% interest compounded yearly: $3,393.02 At 8% interest compounded yearly: $21,997.61 As you see, doubling the interest rate, vastly increases the amount you either get from interest or have to pay in interest. This is why when the central bank increases interest rates, it matters so much and can have such a massive effect in the economy or commerce. -April 12, 2023 AI will limit innovation If people begin to completely rely on "Artificial Intelligence" or ÄI", and not rely on their own intelligence and intuition, society will stagnate and not move ahead. People will not innovate and create new ideas, technologies and inventions. To rely on AI will bring society to a new non innovative dark ages with a stagnated society. Conformist rarely become innovators who creates new ideas or moves society ahead. It is true that a person who conforms to their surroundings, and who adapts fashion, ideas and goals from others rarely moves society ahead since what the conformist does has already been done. Television, school, radio, magazines and the internet creates conformists, not innovators. One must learn to think on their own and overcome the fear of failure or lack of acceptance.
