@ykuzyakov @SoilBiolBiochem Another step for use to learn more detail and functions of the soil food web and the players within it. Allowing us to start grouping microbes into different niches and roles. Thank you for sharing these papers.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Wowzer can you imagine what that would be like for the straight nightmare

[Billy Oppenheimer @bpoppenheimer]

In 1998, Citibank and The Travelers Insurance Company merged.

They hired legendary designer Paula Scher to create a new logo.

In their first meeting, on a napkin, Scher drew what became the iconic Citi logo.

As Scher got up to leave the room, someone from the Citi team asked,

How can it be that it’s done in a second?

“It’s done in a second and 34 years," Scher replied. “It’s done in a second [and] every experience and everything that’s in my head.”

Takeaway 1:

As Scher has become a master of her craft, she's experienced an interesting problem.

"A lot of clients like to buy process," she explains. "they think they're not getting their money's worth [if] you solve the problem too fast."

This is known as the "Labor Perception Bias."

It's an interesting phenomenon: we are generally impatient, yet, we are skeptical if, for instance, we're at a fancy restaurant and the food comes out only minutes after we ordered.

One of famous examples of the Labor Perception Bias is the parable of the engineer and the hammer:

A factory owner hired an engineer to fix a broken-down engine. The engineer inspected the engine for one minute, took out his hammer, hammered the engine once, and then started the engine with no problem.

The engineer charged the factory owner $5000. The factory owner was shocked, protested that the engineer had worked for only one minute, and asked for an itemized bill. The engineer sent the factory owner an itemized bill:

Hammering the engine: $5
Knowing where to hammer the engine: $4,995

Takeaway 2:

On my desk, there is a notecard that says, “All success is a lagging indicator.”

The line comes from one of my favorite Ryan Holiday articles. “When a day’s writing goes well,” he writes, “it’s a lagging indicator of hours and hours spent researching and thinking… Receiving a promotion is a lagging indicator of a lot of quality work. Delivering a keynote with confidence is a lagging indicator of a lot of preparation.”

Knowing where to hammer the engine is a lagging indicator of the years and years working with hammers and on engines.

And Paula Scher’s ability to create an iconic logo in a second is a lagging indicator of 34 years spent honing her craft.

@lucky00619 @Anc_Aesthetics Part 3.

To think of the complexity of the design is absolutely fascinating.

Peter Tompkins' book "The Mysteries of the Mexican Pyramid" is a fascinating read if you're curious to learn more. 📖

@lucky00619 @Anc_Aesthetics Part 1.
Some theories suggest that there are multiple pyramid structures that have been built on top of each other, similar to those toys that keep stacking on top to make a larger toy. At the base was a spring.

Or how the geometry and equations of the entire site match the distances of planets from the sun and locations that are perfectly aligned with the summer and winter solstices.

@BevanDooley @waitbutwhy What what if the stable “grain crop” came from tree?? Think of all the native nut producing trees. Our “grain” system would not be based on annuals but on perennials that continue to improve the organisms around them. Go check out @markshepardRA

@saleemafaq @waitbutwhy Go checkout the nutrition of sprouts. Mason jar 🫙 with some seeds= 🌱. Maybe we can!😎

Here is a fantastic model illustrating the protective role of mangroves (from the exhibit hall of #AGU2022). Will keep it in mind for lectures on sea-level rise mitigation.
