"Good Heavens what insect can suck it?" The stranger-than-fiction miracles of coevolution in nature and human society. (Or: what connects avocados, ants who farm fungus, karma, and our relationship with dogs?)

“Many contemporary #socialscience approaches ignore the #coevolutionary framework, instead focusing too much on linear regressions. Our world is better understood through #complex #reciprocal #interactions.” (More from the #BrianKlaas piece on #coevolution) open.substack.com/pub/briankla...

A dead “zombie ant” with the fungus that took over its brain and killed growing out of it.

Apparently there really are #zombies. Zombie #ants, that is. This piece on #coevolution by #BrianKlaas is fascinating. open.substack.com/pub/briankla...

I live in the States where #homelessness has been a huge problem, which due to 47’s malignant policies is about to greatly multiply and get much worse.
For solutions, #BrianKlaas ’s article here is well worth the read.

Fluke #BrianKlaas I wonder what you think of Bruno Latour’s anthropological work on science:scientists. Thanks for the thoughtfulness! & quantum willpower. I agree that the subtle things accumulate & we are part of the tapestry of life. Original conditions & butterfly effect. Fun discussion topics!💖

The Superb Owl and Nature's Stealth Wisdom The Super Bowl is today, but why not first learn about the superb owl, and what they have to teach us about the ingenious wisdom of evolution.

The Democratization of Information Production is Killing Democracy The way we receive information about our world is unlike any previous generations of humanity. Paradoxically, it's destroying democracy—and Trump's America is the main canary in the coal mine.

I’m going to keep skeeting this piece by #BrianKlaas because it’s so good & so important: “Given that democracy relies on a shared sense of reality … the splintering of that shared reality is arguably the most serious overarching problem facing American #democracy” open.substack.com/pub/briankla...

The Case for Amplifying Trump's Insanity The "Banality of Crazy" has warped American politics, as few voters recognize just how deranged, delusional, and dangerous Donald Trump is...because the press rarely reports on his routine insanity.
