Fungal Evolution Professor at Ohio State. Opinions my own. Ideas are judged by how competitive they are in an open ecosystem. Refuse to infantilize my audience.
@Peter_Nimitz What about capping being a representative/executive in government at 65? But how do hard cutoffs work when the median age becomes 70 and people live to 140?
How do beneficial fungi remodel host cell walls without triggering immunity? We identify SiROCX as a basidiomycete-specific regulator activating CAZyme targets, including GH11/GH10/GH43/CE4 and AA9 enzymes, for xylan/cellulose remodeling during symbiosis.

@PirateWires@dodgeblake@AndyMasley Push-back against any extractive industry is an essential market force. It hones the industry's public relations and sparks innovation to limit objectionable externalities. Tu quoque is a weak defense against accountability.
@wil_da_beast630 morality is a collection of cultural adaptations that preserve civilization robustness. Diversity in morality is the raw material of cultural evolution, but like biological mutations, usually decreases fitness in the moment. And necessary for surviving civilization collapse.
@IamSpartacus10@jon_stokes Imagine the potential value for controlled environment agriculture of all that wasted heat and CO2. If there was a vision beyond the race to dominance.
@jon_stokes Nothing wrong with higher values. AI needs better PR because it looks like the primary motivation of its industrialists is to farm our attention, control our actions, and launder plagiarized content. I value its potential, but its spirit is cold.
@jon_stokes ..don't know what you've got 'til it's gone".
conservation /= deindustrialization.
Would you put a datacenter in Yosemite? Greenwich village?
Just because you don't value rural communities doesn't mean they don't value themselves.
Pay a few bucks more for dead industrial zones
