VARIOUS & SUNDRY 11

(202105226) Lawns (of houses/buildings) just kept for pretty looks are a huge/total waste (of water/labor/money)!
They also cause constant massive dispersing of harmful artificial herbicide/pesticide chemicals to our environment!
(Not to mention, they also often cause so much noise from lawnmowers etc!)

(202105226) Whenever a person calls/texts local emergency service number (911/999) from his/her smartphone, an autogenerated standard format text message needs to be send automatically, which contains GPS location & phone owner info (name, pronoun(s), language(s), race, DOB, phone number, address)!
(The owner (or the phone company) needs to setup local emergency service number & phone owner info!)

(202105252) Israel & Palestine Problem & Syrian Civil War Problem maybe/canbe solved together!:
IMHO, Syria needs to be divided into 2, as Northern & Southern Syria!
(Because, the root cause of the civil war is NOT simply/just "the public (who want democracy) rise-up against their dictator"!
There is also fundamental religious incompatibility between The Sunnis/Sunnites of North & The (Shia/Shite) Alawis/Alawites of South!)
Imagine, then, Syria divided into N & S & Palestinians (who are Sunnis/Sunnites) sold their land to Israel & moved to Northern Syria!
(& they provided much needed money & experience to Northern Syria, to rebuild & create their new (independent) state/country!)

"The Wuhan Lab Leak Hypothesis Is A Conspiracy Theory, Not Science"

It really matters that origin of COVID-19 virus is natural or artificial?
Absolutely yes!
Because, if it is artificial, then, even if it was released unintentionally, China would be still guilty, IMHO!
(Because causing deaths/damage thru neglect is still a crime!)
& so, they would owe compensation to all other countries, at least for all economic damage they caused, IMHO!

I myself strongly believe that origin of COVID-19 virus is natural, but it is (obviously) still extremely important to prove that to whole world!! (Considering the extremely high stakes that whether China owes trillions of dollars(!) of compensation or not!?)
& so, China needs to stop preventing full access to international (WHO) researchers, who are trying to find-out everything about origins of COVID-19 virus! Otherwise, China needs to be considered guilty as charged, by the rest of the world, IMHO!

COVID-19 pandemic caused massive damage to whole world & it is neither the first nor will be the last global pandemic coming from wild animals! & so, it is extremely important for whole world/humanity to absolutely minimize chances of any future pandemics! I have seen some suggestions like, "restore forests" (which I think is already getting done to fight Global Warming) & "try to keep monitoring all wild animals for new diseases"!
I do not think any such ideas would ever really could prevent COVID-19!
Then what could be done?
IMHO, only true solution would be whole world/humanity cutting-off itself from all wild animals!!
How? By signing a global/international agreement that absolutely/permanently bans sale/trade/consumption/hunting/petting all wild animals (except fish)!!
(Of course, such an agreement would need to go into effect only after 10 or 20 years in the future, so that all countries could prepare themselves!)

Actually (IMHO), China is already very clearly guilty, because of letting rest the world about COVID-19 TOO LATE!!!
& here is what I would like to propose as COVID-19 compensation problem solution:
Cancel all debts all countries owe to China!!!

(202106104) Here is an analogy which IMHO could explain what is the problem w/ trying to unite (Quantum & Relativity) physics, by simply using a more general mathematical structure (like Strings or Twistors etc):
Imagine that, back in 19th Century, if someone converted all equations of Newton Physics & Maxwell EM Theory into polynomial (curve) equations & claimed uniting all known physics into a/the TOE!
(Realize that, afterwards, whenever any experiment/observation showed any of the polynomials is not valid in an extended range, then, the problem could be easily "fixed" by simply creating a suitable higher degree polynomial!)

(202106163) Even though it appears like average/max human lifespan is keep increasing (in general), that is only because less wars & better healthcare & food etc!
Actually, (Judaism & Christianity &) Islam imply that average/max human lifespan maybe really keep decreasing! (Adam living more than 1000 years & Noah more than 900 years, etc!)
Could such trend (dis)proved (maybe by checking/measuring telomere lengths of human cells thru history)?

(202106207) IMHO, ALL (local/federal/national) infrastructure projects should/must be made immune against all lawsuits (after they started (construction)) thru law!
(For example, city of Los Angeles clearly has a huge traffic problem, which seems to be cannot ever be solved! But why? Is it because lack of money?: No! One time I had read a news which I think explains the main problem! The city had started building a tunnel project, which had got cancelled (derailed!) in the middle, because of a lawsuit from a group of residents demanding environmental studies (which would take many years)!)
(Actually (IMHO), what Los Angeles really needs (first & foremost) is a full/extensive/comprehensive subway network (just as cities like New York & London etc have)!)

(202106244) IMHO, if a civil war situation happens in Iraq then the solution maybe Sunni-side joining to Turkey & Shiite-side joining to Iran (as internally-independent states)!

(202106281) Cultural Appropriation Problem:
So many times I noticed news articles in mass media, about some people in social media accusing some celebrities for doing "cultural appropriation"! Often because of those celebrities wearing outfits similar to some particular cultural outfits!
But aren't really almost all kinds of outfits/fashion everybody wear, everywhere in the world, really came from other cultures/nations/countries? (For example, it seems wearing neckties had started as a new fashion by the French people!)
For example, there was a Spanish outfit fashion in whole world during 70s! Whole world was really doing "cultural appropriation"?
Someone (who is non-Italian) posts a picture/video of himself/herself to social media, eating Italian food, is really doing "cultural appropriation"?
Someone posts a video of himself/herself to social media, listening to music from another culture or watching a movie/show from another culture, is really doing "cultural appropriation"?
I think, the whole idea/concept of "cultural appropriation" is wrong/harmful & needs to go-away! & the real "rule of thumb" needs to be, whether there seems to be any ((very) clear) intent/goal to belittle/ridicule some other culture/nation/country or not!?
