Twenty years ago I published my first ecology non dystopian fiction scifi short story. It was one of the first I guess. Now the Conference 2140: Hopeful Futures in Science and Storytelling montreal2140.ca

Im going to uninstall X from my phone, to give myself more time to write .... Be well

@TedwardHall @carbon_wave @carbon_wave AFAIK is focused on finding uses for the tons of sargassum algae blooms increasing due to climate change washing up on beaches unused.

@carbon_wave @stevem20 curious is @carbon_wave is committed to never-GMO / gene editing

We’re humbled by the opportunity to take what the ocean is already producing and extract the most valuable nutrients from it with our proprietary technology. #sargassum #caribbean

Mathematically speaking, dating apps are a scam, designed for women to ignore the decent men who like them while chasing the mag cover mug shot who don't even like them.

@tomaspueyo I have a device that converts co2 into a useful construction materials. It's open source , self replicates using an advanced algorithm based a solar powered IoT that can be copied and distributed.. lol

This machine makes fuel from thin air It's carbon neutral And it does this at record-low costs Energy and the environment will look completely different in 10 years Here's why: 🧵

Do share your sanity

@sellieyoung @jposhaughnessy Indeed, a quote from Three Body Problem: "In nature nothing exists alone"

An interesting thesis from Howard Bloom: "In the mid-1990s a growing group of scientists risked ridicule by arguing for the simultaneous validity of group and individual selection. State University of New York evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson, who has produced papers championing group selection for over twenty-five years, is this band’s acknowledged pioneer... He has concentrated his attention on research indicating that humans who pool their reasoning usually make far better decisions than those lone rangers who keep their calculations to themselves. I’ve focused my efforts elsewhere, introducing to the debate a scientific discipline whose data individual selectionists refuse to contemplate. This obdurately overlooked field is psychoneuroimmunology—the study of how friendships, lovers, marriage, rejection, isolation, personal devastation, and self-loathing can rev or wreck your body and your brain... Rene Spitz showed that up to 90 percent of foundling home babies raised with excellent food, bedding, and sanitation but without love and cuddling died. Harry Harlow revealed how baby monkeys brought up without mothers and playmates sat in their cages whimpering and picking at their skin and flesh until they bled. When given the freedom to be with others, these pictures of pathos were too frightened, inept, and emotionally damaged to socialize. Robert Sapolsky discovered how wild baboons who couldn’t gain status in their tribe were flooded with hormonal poisons which killed off their brain cells, made their hair fall out, invited illness to come in and stay a while, and threatened their very lives. Humans are apparently the same. Investigations have revealed that the hospital patients who need help the most—those submerged in depression—are the least likely to receive their doctors’ and nurses’ tender, loving attention. Careful scrutiny indicates that the sufferers are unwittingly triggering their own rejection. Depressed patients whine, snarl, or turn their faces to the wall in ways that alienate their doctors and nurses. They upset their caregivers through every means from facial expression and verbal intonation to body language. An individual selectionist would explain that such self-damaging behavior must be the result of an adaptive response—one with a hidden benefit. The patient’s death might boost the genetic success of close relatives by relieving them of a burden or by enriching them with insurance and bequests. In addition, by subtly doing themselves in the patients might benefit friends who could return the favor to their family someday." ~Bloom, Howard Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind from the Big Bang to the 21st Century

Where's Haiti🇭🇹?🤣 Once one closely examine the data, they'll realize that Haiti, with a population of 11,830,920, is much safer than what the media and foreign powers have led all to believe. Our challenges stem from manufactured violence in the capital. dataunodc.un.org/dp-intentional…

I'm convinced that Twitter X algorithm has been changed to ghost some tweets that otherwise would be read. Or the engagement analytics measure differently now

Yes I’m Italian and proud of it. I was also raised out west and owned horses. I’m a lot less of a western, cowboy culture poseur than Beyoncé is. I’m definitely not appropriating African culture. She’s absolutely appropriating White culture.

@VoiceOfOurAnces Humans come in different colors and sizes fat and thin, tall and short. Sometimes in the same family. It always has been. Btw Dark skin with blue eyes exist in Africa.

If you are African, you're not Black_Smh. Stop it FBA afrophobic groups don't understand the difference between race, ethnicity, and nationality Black from US Race= Black Ethnicity =Black American/ African American Nationality = American Black from Africa Race=Black Ethnicity = Igbo/ Yoruba tribe Nationality =Nigerian Black can't be Race & Ethnic group..

@CBCNews @WriterWong Gas and oil company executives get 10x + in bonuses.. and don't pay any tarsands cleanup fees

Canadian MPs will now make over $200,000 per year, thanks to a pay bump that goes into effect Monday. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

There's a treaty to share the border river, DR built 11 canals vs Haiti who only built one.

And again Quebec seems to be geared to being “special”…

@chrisdacey Oil and gas companies raise prices a whole lot more. Why not protest their offices?

Nationwide Protest Against the Carbon Tax - Ottawa, ON Our friends from Quebec were prevented from crossing into Ottawa so we went on foot across the bridge to meet them. How is it acceptable that law enforcement prevent citizens from entering their own nation's capital?

@Kengdean1964 @bal4_rednirus @PaulVMartin @CTVAtlantic Oil and gas companies don't refund you anything when they raise prices

@bal4_rednirus @PaulVMartin @CTVAtlantic Got a rebate l, not “fully refundable”. The majority pay more than the receive in rebates. Liberals accidentally told you this, the lie to you. CT has added over $2B to general revenue as per Libs. How can most people get more back then they pay if there is $2B surplus?

Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border crossing 'near standstill' over anti-carbon tax protest atlantic.ctvnews.ca/nova-scotia-ne…

@CTVAtlantic Where are you all when oil and gas companies raise gas price 20%?

Just want to make something clear about a video that I posted hating on Haiti. I have dozens of videos talking about how this is the most beautiful country in the world. I have told my family that when things get better I want to come back here and visit. And I spent the last 36 hours meeting with many families here in their homes and full of gratitude. I posted that video about how it is a horrible country because what I have been through. After everything, I was peacefully leaving and someone tried to extort me AGAIN and now I am detained for no reason and no explanation and my family was expecting me to show up tonight and see them after 17 days. Forgive me for coming off frustrated. I love Haiti and all it's beauty. I hope that next time I come back I can be shown around properly and show the beautiful parts and people of this country for the world to see. My love to Haiti & it's people that deserve a better situation ❤

@LuketheLawyer1 @whstancil So many got conned into believing that a group of people didn't contribute to civilization.

@whstancil Trying to understand your position- if someone believes in racial group differences, including in regards to IQ, do you view them as a priori racist even if their belief is in good faith and they also believe completely in the full human dignity of all people?

We are watching the rebirth of eugenics and open racism as an organized political movement among American elites. And liberals are mostly too scared or timid or too deep in denial to admit it’s even happening.
