Thinking of and placing an observation in the right coordinate system *with the right sufficient set of varied dimensions* is a skill, e.g. nutrient of component x, chemical species s, applied to crop group g, in pixel p, that has harvested area h, in country c, in year y, etc.
New unlocked heuristic: counter the first-order thinking "this data is biased," with second-order thinking "is the bias differential across groups?"; it's always about the comparison groups, common bias may be much less problematic than differential bias

Climate has almost disappeared from our conversation.

Energy security and climate security are not competing priorities.
Our long-term future rests in our own hands; we cannot rely on others to place it above their short-term interests
Will probably have no time to read in the next months (that life phase again) but here we go

Taste grows as a function of how often we make [well-deliberated, well-informed] decisions; faster workflows accelerate that curve!
The Way We Do Anything is The Way We Do Everything
Artful craft is by nature not objectively defensible

When you're thrown into a completely new domain and have to produce fast, remember Tony Stark did become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics overnight 😛
and imagine all the kids that might just form a core memory from watching it and might just get inspired to become a (molecular) biologist, biochemist, physicist, aerospace engineer, rocket scientist, chemical engineer, material scientist, educator, (alien linguist ;)), ...
Ok Project Hail Mary is 👎👎👎 amaze amaze amaze, statement.. (in Eridian) indeed
