- I decide on a molecular basis that I will live to 120. Zen from top down.
- 50% of aging is simply by people telling you are old.
- Xprize - alumnus, resigned after Musk went south
- Racism is often weaponized to disrupt things. There is no biological. It's the secondary - the use of it,.
- Brown University - end of Waterman street. Mother's great grandmother side. Roger Williams was an extraordinary individual. Jew, Quaker, Cathlic - they would kill you in Massachusetts. Roger Williams was first settler to pay indians for land. Megan in enrolled Lakota. Lakota people know who Roger Williams was.
- Made contact with Historian in CT. Roger Williams great grandfather? Pupils dilate when we see black person. Bobolink before they hatch - they recognize alien.
- Signaling - chemical and evolving human culture.
- Administration - Nature Conservancy to Government - jury is not disclosed. BA in farming sent here. Then got a person in site visit.
- Max Planck Institute works across disciplines. Planck said they don't collaborate. Science advances one funeral at a time.
- Integral institutes - interdisciplinary studies were in about 20 year ago.
- The trouble with scientists is they work in their cubicles, don't integrate.
- Plateau analysis - made sense about - of the 3 knowledge traditions.
- "horses are capable of long term planning" - they know that horses do it for 4000 years.
- Roman engineers who built aqueducts. Different science: smith engineer, storyteller philosopher, then there is a science. Science is 200 yo. GOP is the smith engineer. Science grow up without elders. Science does not recognize smith engineer. Science is 95% truth, that's all. Business has been using corrupt science for long. They know science can be corrupt.
- Oped for NYT why GOP does not like science.
- Romans were building 8 story buildings.
- Science did not create civilization.
- https://tacf.org/tn/about-us/. State chapter. National branch was saved because regional branches stepped in.

- Domestication is that.
- Evolution is differet.
- Meteorite is 15% nickel plus iron, hard to work with
- Smiths before ferrous age - made a meteorite spear.

- Founder of Badersett Research, a hazelnut and chestnut breeding operation. His work revolves around breeding disease and cold resistant perennial plants - chestnuts and hazelnuts - as a replacement for corn and soybean annual agriculture (average USA erosion is 5 tons of topsoil loss per acre). His plants come true from seed. According to Philip, this is unique in that ALL perennial plant breeding today is based hybrids which do not come true from seed (all clonal propagation) - meaning that ALL such new crops are destined for catastriphic crop failure (as is happening) because only seed-grown plants provide genetic diversity that can cope with changing conditions and adapt to diseases over time. From my understanding, this is a Nobel Peace Prize - but since his time scale is 500 years, nobody is listening. He promotes the topic of crowdsourced breeding, where like in history, entire communities bring back plant stewardship back into their culture. Disclosure: OSE is interested in trial runs of his hazels and other chestnuts to determine feasibility of perennial polycultures as staple crops at our site.
