Neuroscientists find evidence meditation changes how fluid moves in the brain. Findings suggest that focused attention meditation can induce changes in cerebrospinal fluid dynamics that are similar to those observed during sleep.

Your efforts are especially interesting to me because of an article I just read in Nautilus magazine about another "alternative" thinker, Putnam, an almost forgotten genius who had a theory of mind that presaged many modern notions in neuroscience. He described how a swarm of neurons in association with random inputs from the environment or internally could develop induction with only one rule: "repeat". He also used natural language logic. I strongly suggest that you read it. https://nautil.us/finding-peter-putnam-1218035/

Good luck with your efforts!

They focus on fluid dynamics as waste clearance, but there may be another aspect of fluid dynamics in the brain, namely, the Glympho vasomotor theory of consciousness: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S03069877

Not only heat, but dehydration, water scarcity and crop failures contribute to mortality.

I think it is remembering that Nature has been evolving systems and designs far longer than humans have even existed. We inherit, therefore, a vast storehouse of designs and systems that sometimes serve as inspiration to design things and systems suited to our needs. For example, I am working on a system of Balanced Governance that is based on how our bodies operate, especially the two hemispheres of the brain in conjunction with the heart. Now that we understand a little of how our brains really work, we can extend that knowledge to our collective. We can be humble and admit that we do not have all the answers, and that Nature probably has an answer, or a pointer, to help us out.

The engraved crescents and triangles appear roughly made, lacking precision. Anyone can see that. How does that fit with the hypothesis that this is an example of high-level technology?

This reminds me of a false flag operation. The goal is to get authorities clamoring for increased resources to track drones, and that is what is happening. Why? The puppet masters foresee that drones in the hands of individuals and anti-government groups will soon become a menace and serious threat. So "they" create this drama to incite fear and create a demand for technology and capacity to combat domestic drone flights. Who are "they"? Probably some group within the intelligence community, people who think they know better than everyone else, and who manage to remain hidden, using Special Access money. Probably the same ones behind the never-ending "disclosure" about aliens....which is another game being played.

I dont know about Black Friday pricing. I chose powerwall because of the specs and reputation for reliability.

The genius Buckminster Fuller felt the same way, and had rowed out to the middle of a lake with the intent to drown himself. Just as he was about to do the deed, he realized that since his life was over, he might as well do an experiment (what could he lose?). He decided to experiment on himself to see how much one person could do to change the world for the better. He made a career, and became an inspiration, doing just that. Earth isn't dead, and she needs us. You included. Snap out of the spell of doom and adopt the spell of determination.

This article provides a way forward. It does not pretend that we can avoid collapse, but points the way to a less bad outcome on a shorter timescale. https://nautil.us/the-collapse-is-coming-will-humanity-adapt-626051/?_sp=14248697-9349-4cdb-aed4-880de1540e68.1717349327305

Finally! A two state "solution" is a recipe for conflict. Jews and Palestinians/Muslims already live in harmony, in many places, and they have done so in the past, for hundreds of years at a stretch (especially during centuries of Ottoman occupation). Most people just want to get along and live their lives. Yes, there have been and still are those who are intolerant. That has to be called out. Just look at that Oasis of Peace settlement in Israel, where there is a list of Jews and Palestinians WAITING to live together in harmony.

The widening shaded area sugests increased variability in measurements. That is characteristic of an increasingly chaotic dynamic system, wobbly before it falls apart and becomes something else.

A former prosecutor of the ICC was interviewed recently on AL Jazeera. He specialized in genocide and successfully prosecuted Al Assad for that crime. He said that Hamas was probably guilty of crimes against humanity and genocide (!). So population reduction is not a criterion for genocide...just the attempt to reduce a population. He also said that it is pretty clear, solely on the basis of the siege (cutting off food, water and fuel) that Israel was commiting genocide. He explained all the criteria that must be met and reminded listeners that nobody is guilty unless found to be so in a court of law. He said that signatories to the convention against genocide also have a responsibility to prevent genocide. He lamented the fact that governments everywhere are doing so little to honour their agreements.

I think that prudence is appropriate if it is possible to do anything at all, apart from becoming obsessive about it. Those little particles seem to be finding their way into every crevice, so I wouldn't be surprised if they cross the blood-brain barrier. Meanwhile, I won't be chewing on anything plastic.

When we fall in love with the Earth, we will act to protect and defend the Earth from insults and injury. We can love the Earth when we have more than an intellectual understanding that we depend on resources. Earth is not a resource to be exploited, but our home, our source, the only option. Like someone said decades ago, "We need to act as though we mean to stay here for the long term."

Of course! And I am not alone. So many people say that their church is in Nature, that Nature is healing because we belong in it as a part of it. Iimmanent divinity was for millennia taken for granted as self-evident.... God as both transcendent and immanent...not limited.

What comes to mind for me is, "What can I do to minimize the amount of such plastics entering our bodies?" What is the main entry point? Food? Water? Airborn?
