Jiries came to town but the town was gone

Oil price constantly reaches new all time highs. The need of turning into renewable energy sources is already of great consideration.
Therefore, bright scientists are gathering in conferences every now and then in order to provide solutions. Physicists, chemists, mechanics and sometimes you come up to some environmentalists!
There is no interest in defining what actually an environmentalist is.
For reading purposes, let’s pretend that someone who is titled with a degree in environmental studies has the necessary theoretical background for… developing new theories for world salvation!
Since none of them is capable of aiming so high, they just believe that they are only worthy scientists like the rest. They prefer attending to ambitious conferences for two main reasons.
First of all, there must be great catering during the intervals!
Second but most important: the conference is so uncategorized that they can even get paid for participating!
Jiries is almost an environmentalist but is totally different.
Lately, he was enjoying his croissant and black coffee while having a break. Lots of people just heard a mighty professor proposing an innovative way producing fuel from watermelons. He had so passionate speech that was hard to say whether he was drunk or excited for the outcome.
Our man Jiries has an effective method for finding out the importance of such words.
Truth always lies in the interval free croissant.
If it’s fresh, the conference is an EU sponsored pointless show off.
If it’s without any filling, then there is just a waste of time.
He calmly took a diagnostic bite.
The croissant was hard as stone!
No further notice had to be taken! All theories were crap, only covering years of profitable but dead-end researching.
There was not more obvious proof than that filthy croissant, probably out of date!
He was ready to exit the place when someone announced a new high for oil.
150$ a barrel.
Really, can someone give me a descent answer?
“The price includes the barrel or you have to return it after using its content?”
Anyway…
Jiries saw all those overrated scientists acting strange.
Some stared at the sun while others raised their hands to feel the wind.
Everybody looked satisfied since increasing mankind concern would sponsor their future meetings, with greater catering variety and fresher cookies!
He was happy too, but also realized all that crap involved.
There were no real attempts for solutions but only paychecks.
Jiries seemed fed up.
He realized that it was his duty to save the world from energy drought.
So many cars, so many air-conditions, so many electrical vibrators!
“God, someone has to save us!”
He was unable to keep his thought inside and the phrase bounced in room, attracting everyone’s attention.
He looked back, somehow embarrassed.
Angry but shaken, Jiries noticed a disturbed expression on their faces.
Instantly closed his eyes and some seconds were enough for a solution.
As he was spitting that deadly croissant out of his mouth, he looked back. He wiped his lips and when he felt ready gave the most innovative shout of all time:
“Bullshit”
The solution to pollution! An act against decreasing oil and gas reserves!
He never meant exactly bullshit but the tone of his voice was obvious.
Stupid theories, stupid speeches, stupid words.
Always there and never to report a shortage!
That’s something clean and totally renewable!
Jiries visualized an automobile using pure human stupidity!
“Let’s say you’re driving in an empty country road and the car runs out of fuel. No passers-by, no gas stations, no mobile signal. You don’t need any of these! Just hang out the special microphone near the gear shift and say something stupid. Anything! People have the power now! And people are born to act stupid!”
His definition of clean energy for millenniums to come was not appreciated.
You see, Jiries came to town but was too far from his age.
As a result, the town was history!
No problem at all. He was convinced and it was then when he decided to spent the rest of his humble life in order to make it work.
Jiries is an inspired world savior and I’m glad he shared with me that great vision. Relaxed and easygoing decide to help me waste those empty bookstore moments on Thursday afternoon.
Although I was unable to provide him with the descent croissant!

Wish him the best for his Nobel career.

Ben took a photograph of that creative spirit and that’s all for today’s “history in the making”!
