You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey.

Today's cool fact of the day is about water filtration.

It turns out that some scientists at the University of Connecticut in stores just made a smooth

version of a water filter that's 40 times smoother than what we do today that promises

to make desalination possible around the world in a way that isn't possible today.

Right now we use a synthetic polymer with tons of tiny pores that let water molecules

come through but not sodium ions.

The problem is that crap gets in those little pores, things like calcium sulfate, build

up and then the pores don't work.

So it's been really expensive to desalinate water.

So now one small change in technology could radically open up our ability to get fresh

water out of the oceans.

And what we don't see when we sit and we do whatever we do for our living and on a daily

basis, we don't see stuff like this happening in university labs but there's more of this

happening now at a faster rate than any time in human history because of changes in our

ability to communicate, changes in our ability to understand the very basic reactions

happening inside our cells at the very subatomic levels and it's probably the most exciting

time ever to be alive.

So if you find yourself seeing there going, it's so hopeless, there's so many bad things

going on, you need to rewire that crap because we have more power, more control, more

ability to make a difference in a very small amount of time than in any time in human history.

So things are looking pretty bright at least from where I'm sitting and hopefully after hearing
