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 of Earth we must preserve and protect. As for suppling 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 of this episode which I think my listeners will enjoy. Finally, I discuss no matter what faith or religion, or lack of thereof, we need unify and work together towards this goal.

In this episode I discuss what may seemingly be impossible task of transforming the entire Earth into a paradise. In my opinion, it will take a generation of people who are even greater than what the Greatest Generation was. I discuss how we need to transform Academia back to the way it was before the sixties in order to make this possible. I also go into more specifics about how to deal with problems like overpopulation, pollution, and overusing our resources. I talk about how we should put more focus on preserving and protecting our paradise of Earth, rather than false hopes of space travel and technological advancements which harm humanity.

In this episode I read a summary of the 12 books that mark up, "Paradise Lost", by the 16th Century English Poet John Milton. I used this book to develop my book which it titled, "Paradise Found". I explain what I believe may have happened during the time of Adam and Eve, (4500 B.C.). I Believe the Garden of Eden was either a part of an allegorical story, or existed metaphysically in the Tigris/ Euphrates Valley. In any event, Eden served a purpose for inspiration and spiritual growth, and the entire Earth serves the same purpose. There can be no greater goal to value, preserve, and protect the paradise of Earth for the exact same purpose that Eden was. We never lost our paradise, we need to find it by simply changing our perspective.
