  • Unequivocally yes.

    I got a contest going with my plant systematics cohort (8 credit hours over an academic year, that’s a lot of plant id work). We would see who could come up with the filthiest mnemonics to remember plant families and such.

    Our professor, a brilliant botanist with a filthy mind and tenure, was delighted beyond measure at how well the entire cohort did on the practical plant ID exams. But mostly he enjoyed watching our classroom discussions.

  • If you really want help, you almost need to dox yourself by giving pretty specific location info. So please don’t do that.

    Land matters are very complex in any country. In the USA, laws around land use can vary from one block to another. 50 states and many matters are delegated from each state to their counties for implementation.

    My point is, yes, you may be able to arrange such a community.

    It can be a tricky legal, political and social affair that is very specific to your exact site.

    So plan on a huge learning curve and learning how to find the right kind of legal and organizational advice.

  • I’m fine with their platform and I do go to their events now and then, so any shade I throw is dappled with some sunshine.

    My main beef is they call themselves a ‘party’ and that means getting candidates elected. If that isn’t your goal, you aren’t a political party.

    My feeling has been that they waste the energy of a lot of early adopters and teach them means of political engagement that render them ineffective.

  • PSL is not even a real political party. They do not get anyone elected and they have rarely ever even had candidates. They are much too concerned about some strange sort of ideological purity.

    It is a weird club for people who enjoy having protests to go to on the regular. Poorly attended protests usually, but they do get to talk amongst themselves about how much better things will be after a revolution they take no effective steps toward fomenting.

    I suspect the imagine they are in the vanguard of something, but it has been over 80 years since they were founded.

    Poseurs, Simps and Losers.

  • Awesome resource, thank you for posting it.

    Here’s one reason why a hip level perspective would be so helpful as a neuroscience tool. It is an ethical and reversible experimental intervention that could add real experimental power to functional brain-body mapping.

    Combine the perspective shift induced by the virtual rearrangement of sensory input with fNIRS for cortical imaging, perhaps before, during and after the hip-view experience. A company focused on near infrared cortical imaging products

    I am certain a proper neuroscientist could come up with even better and more detailed questions to ask using the method.

    Something like this could even be used as a therapy tool for trauma, perhaps, once the impact of the perspective shifts were understood well. A common trauma response is dissociation and common therapy methods include ways to help people reconnect with their whole bodies again.
