New Studies

Here is where I introduce topics for new studies that could actually help people

and not just provide rabbit holes for people wanting to be paid for avoiding real life.

I include possible new business venture ideas that would solve problems and provide jobs.

Here is the menu, that will grow over time:

1) Veteran suicide, which I have already mentioned on this website:

that establishes or debunks my belief that veterans who grew up without their biodad at home

are more likely to commit suicide than fathered veterans.

2) Crime reporting. Study how to accurately report crime and those committing the crimes,

so crime investigators can more accurately draw profiles to help them find perpetraitors.

And so the public can trust the crime reports.

So much truth is withheld because of DEI, that it takes longer to find criminals. For example,

a suspect may be listed as an Asian, while the continent of Asia includes China, Israel and Iran.

3) Business Consulting. There are laws that say only certified insurance agents can give advice

on insurance. Another law says that only trained investment advisors can give advice on investments.

I am a carpenter, and sometimes I am hired or asked to give construction advice, which I happily do.

Here is the problem: If I need advice about something, and I can only get advice from someone with

something to sell, I feel like a feeder fish being thrown to a shark.

There is a place in our economy for experts who give only advice without selling a product.

Consider how many fewer degree-choice mistakes would be made if 18-year-olds could pay $500

to take an aptitude test and also learn which degree options would create the lowest tuition bondage.

This seems a perfect fit for a retired person who spent years in this field anyway.

4) Zip Line Sports Training. A new kind of 'Study' could be the construction of new business models for entrepreneurs

to consider. For example: I cannot swim, ice skate or roller skate, though at different times through my 70 years,

I have wanted to do all of these things. The advent of zip-lines has given me an idea to speed the learning timeline

and reduce the amount of falling down.

Consider a skating rink, either ice or roller. Alongside the oval main track, there is a long track alongside it,

with several zip-lines, with appropriate harnesses, forming a dedicated training area, with instructors, to teach

students how to perform without the fear of falling. Let them practice fall recover after gaining some competence

confidence that they can indeed handle the sport.

Or, overhead zip-lines could be built over the main rink, in use during training times, and pulled out of the way

during open skating times. I think I might try that.

How many colleges have swimming pools and ice rinks already in place to test such ideas?
