When was the last time that you tried something for the very first time. I know it's a bit of a tongue twister of a question, so I'll ask again. When was the last time that you tried something for the very first time.What has been the biggest change you've ever had to make in your life. For us students, was it when you first joined high school and you had to get accustomed to the new workload, all the people around you, the new teachers. Or for the adults present here, was it when you first got that job tha ...

RT HBD 123 (@Consilience1298)@NickSzabo4 Youre conflating Progressive and evolutionist. Bet you very few progs believe in real evo findings, eg heritability, selection, etc. So, in a sense, evolutionist has never been tried. Maybe its time has come? Needs a more substantive worldview though to get people onboard. Try ...

RT Landeur 🏴 (@BritishLandeur)If the thing which is causing them to be both evolutionists and (or therefore) not reproduce is their higher IQ, then that's pretty problematic.It's basically accidental reverse eugenics, which doesn't bode well for the future. I do think that this is reality.It's not just from a religious/irreligious stance, but I also believe that more intelligent people are generally reproducing less. At the elite level, they're in education till they're almost 30 doing a PhD. OftenPeo ...

Why studying bees can teach us about human loneliness | Sarah Kocher | TEDxNewEngland
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-19 17:00
Core Argument - Understanding the mechanisms underlying social behavior is crucial, as social interactions are tightly linked to individual success across species [2][4] - Current model systems are limited in capturing the full range of behavioral variation, hindering the identification of essential ingredients for social behaviors [11] - Comparing and contrasting diverse species, like social and solitary bees, can reveal "same differences" that highlight unique features of social organisms [20][21] Research Approach - The research uses an evolutionary biology approach to understand the mechanisms shaping the social brain by comparing social and solitary species [6][21] - The study involves identifying genes shaped by natural selection in social species and examining hormone levels in their brains [22][23] - The research also explores how social experiences and environmental factors interact with genes to influence social behavior [28][29] Key Findings & Implications - Certain genes associated with hormone binding and transport are linked to social behavior variations in bees and may have connections to human social disorders like autism [23][26] - Social experiences, such as early-life isolation, can significantly impact social behavior and brain development in various species, including bees and humans [34] - Studying social behavior in bees can provide insights into the fundamental blueprint of the social brain, potentially applicable to a wide range of species, including humans [25][38]

The social lives of viruses | Asher Leeks | TEDxNewEngland
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-07 17:01
[Music] I would like you to picture a virus. What do you see. Perhaps you see a single viral particle infecting a cell.If you do, then you're not alone. The textbook image of a virus as a particle is taught in schools and in universities. that underpin scientific efforts to understand viruses as well as medical efforts to treat them.But today, I would like us to begin to paint a new picture of what a virus looks like. And the first change to this textbook image is that no virus is ever really alone. Because ...
