    Albatrosses wearing radar detectors are being used to detect vessels that are fishing illegally. "Albatrosses make good spies."

    Gateway to the Ecuadorian Amazon—the beautiful but unnecessarily expensive bridge at Coca, over the Rio Napo. Off to Tiputini now: in the Amazon, near the Andes, at the equator, it is perhaps the most biodiverse ecosystem on Earth.

    1 of 2 striking lines in this essay: "Part of what worries me so deeply about the Grievance Studies 'scholars' is that they, too, have students, and I doubt very much that open inquiry, or encouragement of disagreement, are on the syllabus"

    Radio bursts from a nearby galaxy could be anything from “unknown natural phenomena to alien life.” Whether or not this is evidence of life elsewhere, we have very good reason to think that we are not alone.

    Have you kept quiet when you disagreed with someone? We all have. It's ever harder to engage honorably over complex ideas. Consider having a difficult & civil conversation in the competition, in which I am honored to be a judge. Entries due February 1.

    Nature is not a nature documentary, but learn to look, to really look, to observe what is there rather than what you think is there, or what you want to be there, or what you think it means, and learn to be still, and utterly quiet…and the Amazon reveals so much.

    People don’t expect mud when they go to the lowland tropical rainforest—the jungle, of popular parlance—but it’s thick. We wear rubber boots to navigate it, and to protect from snakebite should we inadvertently step on a viper or a coral snake.

    The Ecuadoran Amazon is, by many measures, the most biodiverse ecosystem on Earth. In its heart lies the Tiputini Biodiversity Station, which will be our home for ~2 weeks, with no internet or hot water; a clean simple cabin; and a few hours of electricity each day.

    The Pacific Northwest is feeling so very January right now—water falling and misting, pooling on clay soils, thick grey skies, cool but rarely deeply cold. In one week, and I will be back in a lowland tropical rainforest: similarly wet, hotter by 60 degrees.

    The Amazon beckons—Ceiba trees emerging above the forest canopy; woolly monkeys doing acrobatics in the trees; macaws and parrotlets chattering; leaf-cutter ants farming; a salt lick where peccaries convene.

    "There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot." -Aldo Leopold, 1949, from A Sand County Almanac. May your 2020 contain wildness and wilderness, whether or not you think you need it.

    Furthermore, suggesting that boys or men who do enjoy engaging in traditional female-typical gender norms are actually girls or women is regressive, misogynistic, reality-denying garbage. 10/

    The boundaries between species are almost always fuzzy. The moment of change, when one species becomes two, is rarely known. It is this fuzziness, in part, that explains why we have so many species concepts. So many species concepts, but only two types of gametes. 1/11

    This is ill-conceived, manipulative, post-modern Marxist-ish garbage. But also: this author needs to spend time in a forest. On a coast. In a grassland or by a river or in a desert. Nature reveals and heals many delusions.

    This story is half postmodern, half premodern, 100% dystopian. There is a third way. Recognize that sex is not assigned by a doctor, it’s determined by which sperm fertilized an egg. Also: steer clear of gender reveal parties & rigid gender stereotypes.

    In this talk, I find hope in the many independent evolutions—in Egypt, China, the Americas, more—of writing, astronomy, architecture, and city-states. 2/3

    “Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy: A Conflict at the Core of Education,” a talk I was honored to give at Oxford last Spring, speaks to the ascendance of the Authoritarian-Left, the cryptic orthodoxy of Big Science, new campus loyalty oaths, more. 1/3
