Try oats: they love eating the shoots.
When you buy “cat grass”, it’s oats.
Just get some whole oats from your local health-food store, & plant ‘em, & let your friends eat the stuff to their hearts’ content:
it’ll do their health good, too!

Sorry, but air-quality damage from gas cooking & air-quality damage from burning cooking-oil have nothing to do with each-other.
Both create harmful air.
Cooking with electric stove ( induction seems to be the cheapest, next to microwave, in terms of energy ) removes the air-quality harm done by gas.
Burning cooking-oil harms air-quality no matter what heating-technology was used to produce the mistake.

To the best of my knowledge, back-propagation IS learning, whether it’s happening in a neural-net on a chip, or whether we’re doing it, through feedback, & altering our understanding ( so both hard-logic & our wetware use the method for learning, though we use a rather sloppy implimentation of it. )
& altering the relative-significances of concepts IS learning.
( I’m not commenting on whether the new-relation-between-those-concepts is wrong or right, only on the mechanism )
so, I can’t understand your position.
Please don’t deem my comment worthy of answering: I’m only putting this here for the record, is all.
Everybody can downvote my comment into oblivion, & everything in the world’ll still be fine.
You don’t have to do ANYthing in order to have copyright on your images.
That is standard throughout the Berne convention & has been for decades.
Registering makes court-cases easier to win, but having copyright on one’s renditions isn’t in any way requiring that one have registered anything with anybody.

Malfunctions happen, chaotically: including malfunctions in genetics, in evolution, in ecology, etc.

Decades ago, I discovered that there are 4 dimensions that need to be covered, in balance, in community news:
Leaving-out any 1 of those 4 dimensions has long-term costs.
this is just what one autist discovered, it doesn’t mean you have to think there’s any validity in the concept.
insightful question,
it isnt just the internet, in case you hadn’t noticed, it is ALL civil-rights that are being gutted, in the enshittocene.
“once the infection has moved the ‘fulcrum’, the balance between the involuntary-host & the infection, far enough, it can then switch from symbiosis to totalitarian rampaging growth-at-any-cost, excluding-all-vital-functions, enforcing its parasitic & fatal consumption, killing the patient”
A tipping-point is being crossed, though it’s taking a few decades ( planets are slower than individual-animals, in experiencing infection ).
It’s our rendition of The Great Filter, in-which we enforce that we can’t be viable, because factional-ideology “needs” that we break all viability from the world.
Or, to be plainer, it is our race’s unconscious toddler setting-up a world-breaking tantrum, to “BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY” its won’t-grow-up.
Read Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow”, & see how the imprint->reaction mind, Kahneman1 ( he calls it “System 1”, but without context, that’s meaningless ) substitutes easy-to-answer questions for the actual questions…
The more you read that book, the most important psychology book in the whole world, right now, the more obvious it is that Ideology/prejudice/assumption-river/religion/dogma is doing all it can to break considered-reasoning ( Kahneman2 ) from the whole world, and it is succeeding/winning.
“Proletariat dictatorship” the Leninists want, “populist dictatorship” the fascists want, religious totalitarianism, political totalitarianism, ideological totalitarianism, etc, it’s all Kahneman1 fighting to break considered-reasoning from the whole world, and the “disappearing” of all comments criticizing Threads from the Threads portion of the internet … is perfectly normal.
It’s simply highjacking of our entire civilization, by the systems which want exclusive dominion.
Have you checked your youtube account’s settings section, in the history section, to see what percentage of your comments have been disappeared??
Do it.
Everybody do it.
Discover how huge a percentage of your contribution to the “community” got disappeared, because it wasn’t what their algorithm finds usefully-sensationalistic, or usefully-pushing-whatever-they-find-acceptable.
I spent a few hours deleting ALL my comments from there, after seeing that around 1/2 of what I’d contributed had been disappeared.
There are a few comments now, but … they’ll be removed, either by yt or by me, soon.
No point in pretending that meaning is tolerable, anymore, you know?
Only fakery & hustle remains, for most of the internet, & that transformation’s going to be complete, in a few years.
1984, but for-profit.
Sorry for the … dim … view, but it’s been unfolding for a couple decades, & it’s getting blatent, fast.
Light.
Absolutely stupendous quantities of high-quality, full-spectrum light.
Live in a light-box.
There is a circuit which goes from pigmented-ganglia ( black-pigmented nerve-endings ) in our retinas, into our brains.
That sensor-system is rather dull, unlike the rods & cones.
Rig a room’s light-switch so that when you flick it, suddenly you’re saturated in sufficient light to cross your light-threshold, about 1/2 second later, it’s like vital aliveness kicked into your brain.
I’ve replicated the experiment, and I’ve gotten others to do it, too.
One non-obvious thing, though:
Because when we’re in the dark, we can’t remember what it felt-like to have that light-brain circuit activated ( the SAD-treatment lights are intended to cross this threshold: it’s the same mechanism ), so therefore, to treat profound, long-term depression, you NEED to get tons of lights onto a timer, & use that as your “alarm clock”.
It works.
It’d save many lives, if doctors would admit it is actual, evidence-based medicine, but that’d gut billions of dollars of psychiatric-industry, so … that won’t ever happen.
( dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: I remember the grudge/hatred when the Australian researcher violated psychiatry’s established “ulcers are a psychiatric illness” dogma, with evidence showing that ulcers are created by pylorii bacteria.
Paychiatry won’t ever do the experiment, they won’t admit it works, they won’t tolerate anybody claiming it works, etc.
Religion is religion, and my autistic-empiricism has no validity in their reality.
Do the experiment, though, & you’ll see that it actually tests to be true. )

Here’s an experiment for you:
Get as many different kinds of curry-powder as you can find,
& then simply try whichever of those smell good for you.
You choose the ingredients, otherwise.
It may well be that cumin’s bad for your Ayurvedic type, your specific metabolism.
Whatever metabolism I’m in now, I hate seafood, yet I have kombu, and can’t stand Japanese Soy Sauce ( too seafood-like ),
yet I loved Japanese Soy Sauce on lots of stuff, until a couple of years ago.
1 time my metabolism changes such that orange-juice went from being wonderful to being aweful, in about 2 days.
Read Frawley’s “Ayurvedic Healing”, & do the experiment of trying alternate-pairs of dishes, where 1 of each pair is
& the other of the pair is
The ingredients-lists in that book are the ONLY all-correct lists I’ve ever encountered.
( all those who claim that the existence of charlatains in Ayurveda “proves” that Ayurveda, itself, is bogus, …
… well, notice that they SIMULTANEOUSLY say that the existence of mega-Ivermectin-for-Covid charlatain M.D.'s do not falsify the validity of Western Medicine.
The “logic” that “the existence of some charlatains” somehow falsifies a system they don’t honestly represent, is, itself, false, in BOTH cases, equally.
WHEN one sticks to the objectively-validatable ingredients-lists in Frawley’s “Ayurvedic Healing”, THEN one gets consistently correct results.
Evidence-based knowing.
To understand the different metabolisms better, add & read Frawley & Kozak’s “Yoga For Your TYPE” book.
Vasant Lad seems trustworthy, too,
and “PaleoVedic Diet” is generally right, but that damn Ajwain, I won’t ever put more than 1 single seed in any person’s food, because the terpenes in 'em are too strong.
For terpenes, instead of Ajwain, now I use a couple of pine-needles per day.
A bit odd, but they do seem to help my health.
& if terpenes, in the right dosage, are good for one’s health, then this should be good.
Some American Indians used to prevent scurvy with eating 'em or brewing 'em as a drink, apparently. )
PS: Indian cooking is insanely diverse.
You could probably cook a different recipe every day, for the next 500 years, without repeating one of 'em.
Look at the cookbooks…
PPS: the best cookbooks in the world are usually the America’s Test Kitchen cookbooks, but they won’t do the experiment for Ayurvedically-appropriate-ingredients-for-a-specific-person’s-metabolism, and they don’t have an Indian cookbook, that I know-of.
Anyways, you do the experiments, & you discover what you discover!

My comment isn’t on your script, it is on paper-selection…
Please have several, orthogonal, selection-systems:
most-cited,
most trustworthy researchers
most unique area of research, or most unique question, or something
most central to new tech
most central to old tech
most undernoticed, big potential… ( things that should be big news, but the global novelty-addiction ignores it )
best fundamental science ( definitely include this category! )
best citizen-science
etc…
iow, the algorithm that most use, which is “paying attention to what others are paying attention to” is an algorithm we shouldn’t be assigning our viability to, you know?
Also, you may need to make a flexible-limit for dumbing-down, as some papers may have a higher limit and others a lower limit, so some could be easy for most to get the sense of, but some might be tricky … and it might well do more good to let them have their different thresholds, see?
There is a positive-feedback-loop of culture-polarization, prejudice, ideology-addiction, and identity-formation, that is getting activated more & more & more, now, globally…
I’m using amazon.com links so you can read the reviews, not to recommend them as where you buy books from. ( Bookwyrm isn’t populated enough to default to them, yet )
https://www.amazon.com/Tribal-Leadership-Revised-Leveraging-Organization-ebook/dp/B006IDG1K6/
identifies the 5 culture-levels/modes.
Once you’ve read that, you’ll realize that humankind is being pushed lower & lower on the scale.
Level-2 breeds conspiracism, because it is beneath Level-3’s narcissism-culture ( and narcissistic sociopathic authority has become a cultural-addiction to the point of being social-status ).
https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman-ebook/dp/B00555X8OA/
is a book on the 2 mind-functions/categories, which he calls System-1 & System-2.
System-1 is ( in my opinion ) Limbic mind ( herdbeasts have it ), whereas System-2 is deliberate & considered thinking…
The lower in the 5 culture-processes a person is, the less System-2 they exercise.
Throw-in an ocean of economically-enforced Attachment Disorder, saturating entire-generations ( parents couldn’t afford to be present & to parent their kids, consequences implacably grow ),
and you’ve got the feedback-loop to guarantee the nonviability of humankind.
Escalation will continue, and the Dark Pentad, as I call it ( the professionals don’t accept that it is 5D )
Narcissism/Machiavellianism/Sociopathy-Psychopathy/Nihilism/Sadism continues grabbing more power, as the System-1’s pseudo-thinking enforces more reacting, and Dark Pentad capitalizes on that…
It’s quite elegant, when you consider how efficient it is at guaranteeing The Great Filter’s extinguishing of our kind…
Frustrating & depressing, but elegant as hell.
Notice that Russia’s Learned Helplessness culture “gets even” through nihilism & sadism, as the myriad torture-operations strewn throughout Wagner territory & Ukraine both demonstrate…
Putting the harm on others is, for people oppressed long-enough ( like the Russian people deformed in Leninism & beneath the oligarchy/dictatorship ) a survival mechanism, psychologically.
So, as multiple forces/factions work at breaking human-worth/values from having any say in the rule/operation of our world, … the lashing-out ( mass-shootings are now at more than 2x per day, in the US ), the nihilism ( common in Level 1 culture ), the sadism, all multiply themselves AND multiply each-other…
Think of it as multiple “bulls” battering heads, to see who gets to be the “god bull”…
Legalism is one of them, materialism/moneyarchy is another, class-based-validity is another, authority worship is another…
Notice that humanitarianism isn’t one of the contenders fighting for planetary dominion…
Another thing, is to be able to switch between the apparent view, the political view, and the system view…
Islamist totalitarian authoritarianism & Zionist totalitarian authoritarianism both are totalitarian authoritarianism.
So, politically they are enemies, but they both are committed to breaking the world to their totalitarian authoritarianism.
Every country has such … puppets … of the 4 false-religions.
( legalism, materialism/moneyarchy, class-based-“validity”, and authority-worship, are the 4 false religions )
When the economy collapses, you’re going to see a sudden & immense tilt from the current careful-thinking/considered world, that we live in in fall 2023, into a deranged, aggressive, polarized & violent System-1 world, & fascism will be gaining supremacy pretty-much everywhere, globally.
“Big Think” on yt has a good vid on the 10 behaviours of fascism.
This, too, is expressing PunctuatedEquilibrium, the Pattern which expresses at all scales throughout Universe…
E.g. of PunctuatedEquilibrium
{ Big Bang, itself; CMB; stages in a star’s life, like ignition, red-giant, collapse, & detonation/nova; our planet’s oxygenation, termination of dinosaurs, other mass extinctions, the creation of our Moon, much of human history’s battles & treaties, birth, graduation, marrying, employment, injury, death, electron-shell energy-states, atomic-decay, galaxy-collision, … }
We’re simply unconsciously enforcing that our toddler-nature get to be the only controller of our world’s fate/viability/“vehicle”, and ratcheting ourselves into the Tantrum of Tantrums, jacked with & backed by all the military, industrial, propaganda/Leninism/Murdochism ( he remapped Leninism from left to right, used TV instead of “education”, and we call it “populist dictatorship” instead of “proletariat dictatorship”, but it’s fundamentally identical in method ), and every other enforcement-of-non-reasoning/enforcement-of-non-consideration/enforcing-of-non-objectivity.
Species-puberty, iow.
It’ll be interesting to see if any survive this century.
So, the nonthinking automatic aggression, the narcissistic System-1, and the machiavellianism, that you’re seeing now, should be significantly eclipsed by what it turns into, as soon as the context gets worse.
Anybody who ignores the Financial Class, and how civilization’s laws are formed in concordance with money-lobby/authority, isn’t competent to be discussing what system we are living-in.
Capitalism without highjacking-of-the-system-of-laws is capitalism.
Once highjacking-of-the-system-of-laws is included, it changes to moneyarchy.
As it exists, it is a mixture of oligarchy & corporate-moneyarchy, but it definitely isn’t “just” an economic system, it is a world-governing regime.
https://www.vox.com/2014/4/10/5601062/oil-curse-explained
Perhaps you didn’t know that perjury is S.O.P. for tobacco companies, but, of course, prison-time for contempt-of-court can’t happen on a corporation, only on us…
Go look up The Panama Papers, & see if moneyarchy isn’t the correct term for what the evidence shows to be actuality…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers
Moneyarchy is the correct & proper term.
As for socialism, whose concept of socialism are you claiming competes against moneyarchy?
Sweden’s seems insane: EVERYbody pays huge taxes AND gets welfare…
Don’t they understand that the more “recycling” of money per unit of result, the more lossy their economy becomes, the higher the “friction” or “viscosity” ( pick your metaphor ), and the smaller the percentage of their effort that actually produces results??
Which Socialism?
I’ve never seen a governmental version of Socialism that wasn’t the codependency-version or the ideology-religion one.
Meritocracy & Socialism … what is in the intersection between those, on the Venn diagram? Nothing?
“you can’t have any meritocracy with socialism” seems to be the belief, among many, but Sweden’s education system seems to get meritocracy right ( unless I’m remembering another Scandi country’s version ), where they simply don’t permit any bypassing of the national meritocratic education system…
Because of political-motivation, objectivity isn’t permitted in this world, and neither is practicality, from what I’ve seen…
And that kind of meta-rule wrecks everything else.
Hell, even gaslighting about “Representative” Republic being “democracy” is so normal I keep forgetting to put that back in viewable place…
As some have noted, the ones who rule make certain that people have things other than the actual issues in-view…
and that is 1 of the characteristics of the -archy regimes, where the population is just herd-animals, consumed by the powers that really run the world ( for-profit corporations parasitically feed-on the human-herd, manipulating humanity’s awareness to remain fed-upon, is one accurate metaphor )
The whole narcissism/machiavellianism of orienting government to the most-successful narcissist-machiavellian, and through “elections” making certain that competency & responsibility are punished, in the “game”, by giving authority to the narcissist-machiavellian ones, preferentially…
Reward-systems are feedback loops and have consequences…
Try convincing … anybody … that Boris Johnson is a thorougly-responsible person…
Highjacking of authority from responsibility and accountability … is sooo complete, now…
How come people can’t see that?
Anyways, I meant not national-level competing ( in a different country ), I meant:
IF you find moneyarchy in the US to be bad, then why don’t you create an alternative-to-moneyarchy economy within the US??
You want socialism, or barbarism, or maybe you equate the 2 ( from your phrasing I can’t know which ), so, why don’t you form socialism-competing-against-moneyarchy in the US?
Why don’t you & all the believers-in-socialism create socialism in the US?
Is there some law that prevents socialist businesses from existing??
Is there some law that prevents socialist groups of businesses from existing??
The fact that there simply doesn’t seem to be ANY such competing-economy IS EVIDENCE that either it isn’t permitted by government, or that it isn’t permitted by the moneyarchy regime, or that the socialists, themselves, aren’t competent to do it, or all 3 of them, simultaneously.
DECADES everybody has had to be producing alternative-economies within the US, and … where are they?
I just realized that I’m including perspective that is required, and not common.
“Slicing Pie Handbook” is a book on startup equity-slicing.
Without understanding how equity needs to be properly distributed, and … ah, yes, “Founder’s Dilemmas” is also required … when people who aren’t responsible gain authority, you CANNOT make the business/system/regime work… the ones who gained authority without responsibility effectively highjack the enterprise, holding it hostage to their whims/demand/extortion, and … if the contract that is in-place permits them that authority, the enterprise may need to die…
Remap that to country, and corporations, instead of an individual company with persons, and the same highjacking happens, especially when financially-emplaced political-parties ( and, through them, their financial backers ) are the highjackers.
Responsibilityarchy is the real requirement, but it’ll never be tolerated by any incumbent political power, left or right.
Not responsible AND accountable? break them from authority, then.
Have you got any idea how long that kind of idealism would be allowed to live?
1 week, maybe?
Socialists have the same ability to create businesses as anybody else, so why haven’t they created socialist businesses, & multiplied the things until 20% of the businesses in the US are socialist operations??
even 5%??
There is something fundamentally wrong with what the evidence is showing, and its showing that that apparently can’t evolve…
I’ve tried it, for several languages…
It seems good, to me, but I’ve learned to invest in the BEST 2-ish recent books on any language I’m trying to learn:
the difference between average vs GOOD instruction is cliff-like, and I need to understand why things work the way they do.
( with 2 different-author books, best I can get, then if 1 author is explaining something in a way I can’t get, then I’ve got a good alternative.
Better, though, is that if I make myself work through both, then it’s much more likely to stick, see? : )
I consider Exercism to be a good part of a healthy ( programming-learning ) breakfast!
: )
CombinedArms: use EVERY dimension of leverage you can, simultaneously, and more-certainly win, quicker!
I’m saying this, and I also saying I’ve had to report bugs in their lessons, 1 or 2 times.
I need Exercism.
The models/simulations are falsified by the evidence:
Notice that that darkens the planet’s albedo, accelerating the progression of ClimatePunctuation/GlobalWarming…
and that the models/simulations contradict the evidence, saying that what happened wouldn’t happen.
The real & correct prediction is that we have already put 5-6C global-warming’s worth of CO2 into the atmosphere, AND we have also added other greenhouse gasses, like methane, & sulfur-hexafluoride.
Here is the robust fact:
https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798
The powerlaw they discovered that governs the interglacial temperatures is this:
280ppm is a good pre-industrial CO2 measure.
At that point, the CO2 level has been doubled.
CO2 acts like the Gate in a bipolar transistor: the tiny current you put into the gate, the HUGE current flows through the Source-Drain part of the transistor.
Increase the CO2, & that increases the moisture in the atmosphere, which MASSIVELY increases the amount of retained solar heat.
Pretending that +2C is attainable, now, is delusional.
I’m no longer certain that there will be ANY life around the equator, in 1 century, at or near the surface.
All this begs the question:
Why not learn crochet/knitting, & make one’s own, of whatever yarn one wants??
( that will happen, for me: I’m fed-up with things that never fit right, or are wrongly designed )
It’s simple:
Beat the population into learned-helplessness,
& then all the AI molestingware that the device can run, can be running in it.
Desensitization/enforced-learned-helplessness.
It’s just a conditioning-step, is all.
The profit is in having the population not have any privacy left, & living only within the neuromarketing-platforms that the mainstream operating-systems are becoming.
It’s just a step in the suckerpunching humankind, is all.
