OCEAN TOXIC WASTE - EXTINCTION?

Recently,  I came across articles published on leading sites - talking about the heightening human fears of the ultimate threat of extinction!

the probability is even higher that, this threat comes from some massive sprawl - of Toxic waste and other materials being dumped.. on the Ocean bed,  since the last Century.

To me,  I want to look at what relates us humans to the sea: first is King Mino's white Bull. Then secondly,  the Biblical tale of Jonah,  who was swallowed whole and,  stayed in the belly of the Leviathan three days,  to the morning the Whale vomited him out!
Now, into this same sea,  Moby Dick goes among the 'Great White' Whale hunters of his day - observing humans wrestling with the Leviathan.

And now modern humans are dumping toxic waste and materials into that same sea waters..

Recently,  Japan was reported to have rejected Ocean fish meat from Scandinavian suppliers.. fearing Ocean fish contaminated by toxic materials!

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
Obviously,  the big Industries can't shut down their operations - meaning that, another century of toxic material dumping might as in will trigger a major human catastrophy!

I see one plausible solution: that is creating an (anti-extinction) industry to safeguard humanity.

Humans building giant human body frame Robots: sky scrapper tall to stay permanently on island size Ocean Rigs - manipulated by smaller human lookalike robots, programmed to run the rigs where,  the giant robots fish-out the toxic waste materials and contain them.

Some geeks and scientists must think out the massive operational details and,  designs.

Ultimately - the sky scrapper robots have to scurry around the Ocean bed 24/7 securing the materials into space flight containarizations and,  chain link them into long underwater George Stephenson submarines towing to an area somewhere near the launch pads.
There,  human lookalike robots check and detatch the containers for Shuttle-like loading.. and fire-off!

In the nose-cone are human lookalike robots - the destination galaxy and particular dumpsite planet is programmed - the launch is sequenced,  so that the lead spacecraft drops invisible pins! Marking the going.

On arrival they are not to enter the utmoshere of the dumping planet - they detach the load to plunge down there - as they pick their return program and,  now drop return pins effectively creating a speed of light to and fro corridor - that is followed by the chain of spacecrafts involved.

Humans would be involved in the manufacture of the various kits - all over the World.
That is what I like to vision as the 'Anti-Extinction' human industries. END.

DECOLONIZATION & DE-EDUCATION

It might,  in some eventuality,  become incumbent upon us Africans to prove our claims and accusations against the by-gone colonialists for 'under education' and 'de-education'.

Almost shamefully,  it has become the weird practice,  in Africa,  to heap blames here and abouts..
Popularly now mostly refered to as the 'blame game'.. is now (the) fully fledged Governmental and political,  even parliamentary by-word! That 'the colonialists under-educated us' - this elements of modernism in Africa
is messing-up our 🤔 thinking! Misleading our young,  who now subsequently make use of this mindless 'blame game' as a brand new phenomenon! As a cover-up of youth inadiquacies and,  as a stepping stone for climbing onto the pedastal of political venture - by also blaming those incumbent in political practice.

Someone has to tell us all,  what were the causes of Ugand's de-education for example - and how the country lost its 'pathway'..

IN MY OBSERATION:
It was back in the 1960s..(research it yourself) as my generation shifted from primary to Junior secondary,  and was about to move into Junior two - that suddenly and dramatically,  government abolished Junior two!

Relegated Junior One,  back down to addition on primary - creating a 7 class primary level,  instead of the previous 6 class primary level.

Well,  just like all major governmental policy shifts - debates mashroomed after this one.
In the process,  I too,  learnt that in some early years.. (research it yourself) government had dropped what was then known as 'Junior 3'!

Those were structures of education formulated and set-up by colonial protectorate government,  removed thus,  by the first post 1962 decolonialisation government of Ug.

Back then,  as a first post independence government it was powerful - if a sin had been commited by that policy shift,  it wasn't immediately understandable!

But that process of popular "change" celebrated by all and sundry,  on account of freedom from colonialism,  was to cause the British to pack their "Cambridge School Certificate" and leave!

The new post colonial 'Caricuulum Development Authority' - to the chagrin of the foreign diplomats,  insisted on developing our own sylabus  books and teaching techniques!
The actual process of 'under under education' had began.

Uganda's resident business community Indians,  had moved fast to create their own private schools and,  continued teaching their young along the old 'Cambridge School Certificate' colonial education formula.

Conclusively: in the prideful process,  we just under-educated ourselves!

In Masindi,  of the mid-1960s,  I briefly attended Pillais Secondary School' an Indian school,  there I was introduced to American famous Author Samuel Clements - Mark Twain books.
Later on in life,  I encountered 'Animal Farm'! A chosen - by Ugandan Caricluum Development! I mean,  how can we Ugandans continue to mindlessly blame the British for our own 'under education'
??? End.
