Paradise Found
Paradise Found details my book with the same title. The book is based on creating a viewpoint that the entire Earth is a paradise. It plays on the famous book, "Paradise Lost", by the English poet, John Milton. It makes the claim that the story of Adam and Eve is allegorical, and the Garden of Eden is a metaphor for the entire Earth. It provides groundbreaking information on science, philosophy, religion, politics, and environmentalism like no other podcast or book.

April Week # 4 - The Inevitable Restoration of the Hetch Hetchy Valley
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I discuss John Muir's last fight to save the Hetch Hetchy Valley. I talk about how he argued that this spectacular valley should have been preserved for the same reasons we preserve the Yosemite Valley and the Grand Canyon. It is nature's cathedral like no other, and this is part of our paradise on Earth; we must preserve and protect it. As for supplying water to the San Francisco Bay Area, there are many other options that are more suitable, and this canyon did not have to be ruined. As a Civil Engineer who specializes in Water Resources, I also read a short story with the same title as this episode, which I think my listeners will enjoy. Finally, I argue that, no matter our faith or religion, or lack thereof, we need to unify and work together towards this goal.
