I think I agree - in some ways, technology strips away religion first or its main tenets, there's some destruction, an exodus of sorts, and a new myth or meme or belief takes hold of a society. Strong religious memes are important to most societies. Roman Catholic as an "urban religion" (it was a religion brought to a city that was falling apart due to technological advancement and decadence - out with the pagans, in with the new...), and then it spread in new ways.

this was a nice cast - I'll think a bit on the "In a godless society, technology gets nefarious pretty quickly." I wonder if it's also the absence of philosophy?

light makes food go up the chain - it's base layer. It creates what we refer to as "time". I love thinking about it.

mitochondria (also present in almost all other organisms on the planet) have their own genome and are almost exclusively inherited maternally in humans. They have these little genomes that code for cytochromes a, b, c, e ... etc with different subunits - they absorb different visible light wavelengths in nanometers which correspond to color. Red is best :) although, there are benefits to the others - but at different times and! for different traits. Have fun with discovering!

Most cultivated strawberries are octaploid, meaning they have 8 copies of their genome. Humans are diploid and have 2 copies of their genome. In the wild, many things (mostly plants but sometimes animals) will increase their genome size via genome duplication - such as these decaploid berries (10 copies of genome) which are wild accessions found in Chile. Genome duplication assists with stresses, a cold tolerant gene becomes a heat shock gene on another copy. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_81cf8335cb3505b3c366f709fd731200b38c4b30d2d2a1901cab4ab581190284.jpeg

indeed - and will it see a resurgence in a novel alliance? Alliances are often built out of desperation.

their runner tips, yes. Strawberries get their runners cut and replanted.

I think he was here, but thought it was too mop meme-ish with not enough reach. He has or had an pub key for awhile. I'll admit careful curation makes for a better experience.

Catan-izing the old world vs new world nation state network alliances with guns and butter pattern language + naval resources for trade. Thoughts?
G7
1. USA: Emperor/empire, Arms (nukes), Butter (oil and grain) the most of all
2. UK: master of the seas Atlantic, former master of finance (tradfi)
3. Canada: master of natural resources, ore, etc, held in preserve in case of war or supply issues - in the good times, all preserved in the name of “green”, but actually preserved for security
4. Japan: master of the seas Pacific (indebted after WWII to Emperor even with Marshall plan)
5. Germany: master of manufacturing (indebted after WWII to Emperor even with Marshall plan, probably mad about Nordstream)
6. France: master of culture and industrial spycraft
7. Italy: master of the seas Mediterranean (indebted after WWII to Emperor even with Marshall plan)
BRICS
1. China: Emperor, Arms, not enough butter - yet.
2. Brazil: butter and then some
3. South Africa: master of the seas, Indian and Atlantic? Watch for build out of navy + some butter
4. India: master of tech, and Indian Ocean seas - watch for buildout of navy
5. Russia: Nukes, some arms when not engaged, lots of oil butter, some grain (butter).

Once floral reproduction is complete in strawberries (flowering terminated) perennials enter their "big green" vegetative stage assimilating carbon only to begin their second mode of reproduction - producing runners or daughter plantlets. With good maintenance this cycle continues endlessly. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_22a0c199e3e12de29016435ef2504021498ccf4233a60fcece64535c8e289ea0.jpeg

it is indeed - I just can't stand substituting the word "money" which implies "trust" for the word "debt" - fiat debt metastisis.

Early flowering? Need to propagate your berries vegetatively? Snip em off and produce runners! https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_87811a2dcbe5633917ad0ad74b313138075908882117e913bc51658835f98154.jpeg
