I get where you are coming from, but by helping the whole system from the very bottom up allows all manner of animals/insects to thrive. irrespective of adding predators to it all.. heck, including us. already we have a problem with too many buzzards and other birds of prey - they are booming atm.. even word of a cull being needed.. and that was just reintroducing them / stopping them getting shot the f-up 10-15 years ago or so

really intersting. I heard a snippet on radio4 one morning that bees know which flower to go to by its electric voltage (albeit, incredibly low) the flower must push out that little bit more when its flowering (or multiple flowerings over a season). a perception we can only think about.

Text of Belichick's letter: "Congratulations on a tremendous campaign. You have to help with an unbelievable slanted and negative media and have come out beautifully. You have proven to be the ultimate competitor fighter. Your leadership is amazing. I have always had tremendous respect for you for the toughness and perseverance you have displayed over the past year is remarkable. Hopefully tomorrow’s election, the results will give the opportunity to make America great again.
Best wishes for great results tomorrow, Bill Belichick.”
Letter Trump obviously wrote loooool

how is it possible to vote if you have no US documents?
or is it that you can forge them and vote?
does that mean Europeans can go over and vote in the election?

This seems to be a major theme for a lot of life today; evolution is glacially slow, whereas human's magical trick of culture and technology (arguably the new form of evolution since evolution itself evolves) changes the world too fast for evolution to keep up. Another example is moths. They used to navigate by star light which was perfectly sane and part of the whole holistic system that nature used to be before humans, then humans invented artificial light.. now the moths can't help but repeatedly bash against a burning how light bulb... I mean isn't that a dimension in hell for the reality of this entire species? There's maybe aliens orders of magnitude more complex/intelligent than us. We maybe shrug a moth off as unsophisticated/unintelligent but we are to the alien as the moth is to us. As far as the moth experiences the world, this is its manifested reality, maybe its only "8 bit" compared to our reality but it's perceived universe is a real hell with real hell fire of lightbulbs that its ancient genes are now terribly malprogrammed for this matrix deja-vu like edit that humans suddenly inserted. It happened to the moths, it could happen to us, maybe it already did or is in the process, maybe the whole universe is a program to compute total hell. I'm scared (and probably crazy).

thinks seem to have gone of the deep end since the advent of the internet, makes you wish for the relative calm of the mid 90s

yes its a massive clusterfuck of gigantic proportions, its crony capitalism that has lead us to this, when you have to run a $200 million dollar campaign to even be considered president, its no wonder people with odd motives and behavior are elected
