Yeah, it didn’t blow my mind but I’m glad that people do the science so we can actually quantify these things. They had big improvements up to 4 species and then the gains were less as they increased it.

Of course this doesn’t mean you can drop monoculture in agriculture. You still need your grains to mature at the same time so you can harvest mechanically. Buyers don’t want mixes of stuff either. All that jazz. But lawns would probably be much better off with mixed plants.

Why imprison a few hundred when you could imprison the world?!

Dopaminergic neurons are more related to learning than feeling good.

There are some extra-synaptic neuro messenger molecules like enkephalin that reduce pain and increase feel-good but they hit opioid receptors and they are boring peptides so they don’t get TED talks.

What does that have to do with upper middle class girls with a green juice on tiktok?

Haha! Thank you for the link. Everyone mentioned in this article belongs in hell.

Too many coincidences. She does the reality show with Nicole Ritchie which is fine. Nicole has problems with eating disorder, Paris gets more tabloid attention. Paris becomes friends with Lindsey Lohan (big star at the time), Lindsey goes off the deep end. And then the same thing happens with Britney Spears and that producer dude that Paris dates (I think he was twice her age and left his wife because of her). He produces an excellent album for her actually. It’s hard not to see a pattern. And even with regular drug abuse people usually don’t fall apart as badly and as publicly as those three did.

There was this study, I think it was German, of fields for hay (herbivores eat it). They had monocultures and then fields with mixes. While some monocultures did very well some years the mixes did best on average - better defined as producing more biomass. The same probably goes for lawns.

You’ve just made me sadder than you can imagine

So when I set up dog fights that’s “illegal” and “morally reprehensible” but python-robot bunny fights are fine?! I’ve never heard of such bullshit
