Maybe... Internodes structural spans and nodes put out branches AND leaves? Then any "node rule" gives a fractal structure. Then wind and light add 3D stress and rewards, "autopruning" rebalances the fractal? Some rules are likely better than others...https://youtu.be/lOIP_Z_-0Hs

In subdunbar groups, doing normal human stuff, science says: "Trust your gut, human people!!" For everything else, there is mastercard... and an empirically grounded theoretical literature with some counter-intuitive results ;-)pic.twitter.com/FEoRZTtP6m

Will gave me a safe out with a "maybe", but you socked me *right* in the feels by playing the maternalism card.pic.twitter.com/BH626EFtxL

I'd agree "it all GOES THROUGH the money" but Turchin thinks it ALSO goes through elite culture. "Unsound money" may be a product of an elite culture that doesn't care about non-elites, but that culture is likely a "common cause" of many similar policies :-(pic.twitter.com/vv4COe0OW3

Directly: workers didn't get economic progress pass through after "supply" exceeded "demand". Ultimately: Turchin blames "elite" policies, which are blamed on elite DEMOGRAPHY. Relevantly: *He* mentions the Trade Balance (which *I* suspect is downstream of monetary policy).pic.twitter.com/MdpB07SwIg

2/ Basically, a person sortof(MUST) sortof(understand) THAT words after "that" sortof(refer) to nebulous mental objects... The (mostly failed) attempts to translate "NL-to-logic" very systematically often mention "intensional contexts" as jargon:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNVXHvqgubo …

Wikipedia categorizes the "Symphonia" among the "Lost or extinct musical instruments". Plausibly(?) it evolved (through Islamic and Christian medieval religious music, then minstrels, beggars, peasants, noble fads, and a folk music revival) into this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q4mKo9gBF4 …

Geoff Hinton's 2012 fog analogy (regarding the challenge of predicting exponential processes like technology) holds up pretty decently in the rear view mirror of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXJhAL6FEj0 …

I assume you're asking rhetorically, but in case you're not, there are some straightforward cognitive science theories here.
@GeorgeLakoff's theory (while admittedly explained in a partisan way) is quite accessible and makes non-trivial predictions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RytyWu3zUq8 … -
I could watch videos like this one on the Voynich Manuscript basically forever. (HT
@preinfarction) Phonological detective work FTW :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cRlqE3D3RQ … -
How did I not know about this already?! There probably exist ants that pass the mirror test! https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/journalofscience-.-net-ARE-ANTS-(-HYMENOPTERA-%2C-)-%3F-Cammaerts-Cammaerts/6025a64f817d6ef770e88449d9c0dea1a7a1c952 …pic.twitter.com/IyPOGYgL8T

Then
@juliomulero's version is explicitly cited in an awesome mechanical engineering take from@standupmaths, that begins to point to uses of these curves in a metrology context :-)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CbPksEl51Q … -
I can find a LOT of studies with humans having three and four digits of ng of PCBs / g of tissue. I found a nature review from 2000 with a table where the lowest # was 147 (voluntary cord blood) and the highest was 124753 (fat basis of amniotic fluid). https://www.nature.com/articles/7500090.pdf …pic.twitter.com/EZkN5d6iEY

Oldschool Colbert on Comedy Central was so nuanced and friendly as a "fake bad conservative" that some conservatives thought he was doing 2nd or 4th level irony and was secretly "on their side" *against* his mainstream liberal audiences. Maybe he was really doing 5 levels?pic.twitter.com/kW0nstc8Ci

This GIF is pitch perfect 3rd level irony. Baldwin portrays a caricature of 2nd level irony. He doesn't care if typecasting hurts his noob audience appeal. To SAVVY anti-Trump audiences he (1) shows confidence vs typecast risks and (2) loyalty to the cause of bashing Trump.pic.twitter.com/wdylSMPyU3

Annotated old school modem protocol sounds! Been going around in various forms. Here, the video gives decent audio and the pic has enough resolution to read the text :-) https://oona.windytan.com/posters/dialup-final.png …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abapFJN6glo …

I took the suggestion seriously and hit paydirt!
@MoM_Project_UK appears to literally be printing tablets, putting them in a salt mine, and dispersing ceramic coins with a map to the salt mine! Not *live* backup, but still interesting!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AZdnEO3Yko …
