“Jason Bawden-Smith has made visible one of the greatest risks of modern life and taught us what to do to protect our health… I intend to make quite a fuss until the people I love have all read In the Dark and are taking action.” – Catherine Austin Fitts
Do you spend the majority of your day in front of a laptop, in artificial light? Then drive home, chatting on your Bluetooth before heating up your dinner in the microwave? Then you ‘relax’ with your iPad, glancing at your flat screen TV that’s downloading the latest movie, before setting the alarm on your phone and sleeping with it next to your head, the smart meter buzzing away in the background?
Here’s another question: How do you feel? Any headaches or ringing in the ears? Lack of energy? Putting on weight? Annoying little allergies? Ever wondered if there’s a connection?
Philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer claims that “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” With regard to the harmful effects of living in a technologically connected world, author and environmental scientist Jason Bawden-Smith believes we are currently in the first two stages. We are in the dark.
There’s no doubt technology serves great function in this day and age, and will continue to do so. In the Dark simply brings stronger awareness to the adverse effects technology can have, and offers simple and practical measures people can take, without feeling they have to compromise the lifestyle they want.
ABOUT JASON BAWDEN-SMITH
Jason Bawden-Smith, an Entrepreneur, Author and Speaker, describes his teenage years to be pretty much a full fledge delinquent. But his complaints and conniptions about the world, eventually became his wakeup call. One that compelled a series of actions that led him to building multimillion dollar business and going on a journey of deep self-discovery and multidimensional adventures beyond my wildest dreams!
He founded 4 companies during his business career, including one of largest (100 employees) and most successful ($30M revenue) contaminated land consultancy companies in Australia.
Always at the cusp of a wave, Jason was the first in Australia to introduce field portable x-ray fluorescence analytical technology into the mining industry in the 1990’s, touted as an ‘impossible application’ by the manufacturer. It is now found on many exploration and mine sites around the world. JBS Technologies with no IP or product, was sold for $5.5M in 2008.
Jason was a major force in clearing Sydney’s waterways, raising awareness of the ‘silent killer’ called lead in Australia’s schools and is the founder of an environmental company that remediates hundreds of contaminated properties around Australia every year. All of which led to enhancing the health and well-being of Australian families and the environment.
Jason has authored two books, Making Waves (foreword by Catherine Austin Fitts, Founder of the Solari Report), and In the Dark, new ways to avoid the harmful effects of living in a technologically connected world.
