I’m thrilled to speak at nostr:npub1k2knhzfg2epftjm8kppnwh9zp75r08mhdru2jwechx6tj2w3e9hqf2cjkt about http://toda.bio, our #trustless MRV system that measures #biodiversity GAINS using #eDNA and enables organizations like ACT-Suriname to turn standing #forest into bitcoin. Curious how? Come see.

Sometimes I get surprised with my forward-thinking 😂 and love the consistency of thought process over the years.
“The problems related to the presence of FALSE POSITIVE and pseudo absences could be solved if #biodiversity characterization was done in a #TaxonomicFree context, looking only at #OTUs to compare biodiversity profiles among samples. […] Although we may never give up on the idea of naming #species, the ease of gathering OTU data is unprecedented, making the prospect of a taxonomic-free #ecology complementary to the traditional one more and more likely in the years to come.”

“Pessimism has been endemic in almost every society throughout history. It has taken the form of the #PrecautionaryPrinciple, and of ‘who should rule?’ political philosophies and all sorts of other demands for prophecy, and of despair in the power of #creativity, and of the misinterpretation of problems as insuperable barriers.”

“Popper’s criterion can be met only by societies that expect their #knowledge to #grow–and to grow unpredictably. And, further, they are expecting that if it did grow, that would HELP. This expectation is what I call #optimism, and I can state it, in its most general form, thus:
The Principle of Optimism
All evils are caused by INSUFFICIENT knowledge.”

As we approach elections in #Rio
“the ‘who should rule?’ approach to political philosophy is not just a mistake of academic analysis: it has been part of practically every bad political doctrine in history. If the political process is seen as an engine for putting the right rulers in power, then it justifies violence, for until that right system is in place, no ruler is legitimate; and once it is in place, and its designated rulers are ruling, opposition to them is opposition to rightness. The problem then becomes how to thwart anyone who is working against the rulers or their policies. By the same logic, everyone who thinks that existing rulers or policies are bad must infer that the ‘who should rule?’ question has been answered wrongly, and therefore that the power of the rulers is not legitimate, and that opposing it is legitimate, by force if necessary. Thus the very question ‘Who should rule?’ begs for violent, authoritarian answers, and has often received them. It leads those in power into tyranny, and to the entrenchment of bad rulers and bad policies; it leads their opponents to violent destructiveness and revolution.”

His was a ‘how to be a scientist’ to-do list, not a ‘how to be happy’ or ‘how to live your life’ one. Laugh is in the top of mine
“Ideas have become a little more flexible. In 2016, the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity added a purpose for restoration, to sustain resilience and conserve biodiversity. The SER now describes the aim of ecological restoration as ‘to move a degraded ecosystem to a trajectory of recovery that allows adaptation to local and global changes, as well as persistence and evolution of its component species.’ 39 Conservation scientists recommend that for conservation programs to be successful, specific targets must be set for interventions and projects, and progress must be judged against them. However, as Dutch philosopher Josef Keulartz observes, restoration of past conditions is ‘a Sisyphean task, akin to paddling upstream into a strong current of global change.’ Over longer time periods, it becomes both less easy and less useful to know what state of nature to use as a baseline against which to measure success. 40 The ecological past is one of constant change. Over decades, centuries, and millennia, ecosystems have evolved continuously in response to climate, as different sets of species have self-assembled to form ecosystems. Furthermore, it is not easy to put a date on the onset of human impacts. Key moments of intense human action may be obvious in some places. In North or South America or Australia, the arrival of Europeans created a marked historical discontinuity, a step up in the level of destruction of nature that accompanied the colonial annexation of territory.”

“Pessimists believe that the present state of our own civilization is an exception to that pattern. But what does the precautionary principle say about that claim? Can we be sure that our present knowledge, too, is not riddled with dangerous gaps and misconceptions? That our present wealth is not pathetically inadequate to deal with unforeseen problems? Since we cannot be sure, would not the precautionary principle require us to confine ourselves to the policy that would always have been salutary in the past–namely innovation and, in emergencies, even blind optimism about the benefits of new knowledge?”

“What exactly would it come to steal? Gold? Oil? Perhaps our planet’s water? Surely not, since any civilization capable of transporting itself here, or raw materials back across galactic distances, must already have cheap transmutation and hence does not care about the chemical composition of its raw materials.”
