Movies and music play with our minds by bending time 10/25/17 Little is known about how the human brain processes time or how slow motion, time lapse and even music can alter our perception of how quickly it passes, changing our emotions and cognitive abilities. That is a lie. Olfaction Warps Visual Time Perception became available … Orchestrated death: Aeon
The Trebek effect: The benefits of well wishes 6/7/19 …offers an important insight into what makes families, friendships and communities thrive. Connectedness and its benefits are not something we should take for granted. Beneficial effects of sunlight and well wishes on your health can be linked from the Maillard reaction to prevention of the virus-driven creation of … pH, amino acids, and health: Effects of sunlight and well wishes
A multicellular way of life for a multipartite virus (3/12/19) …the viral genome is not recapitulated in a single virus particle but in the viral population. This facilitates adaptations in the viruses that are delivered in vaccines or acquired through naturally occurring exposure. Natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality is the only known protection from … The tipping point (revisited): 87K (1)
Potential Excessive Testing at Scale: Biomarkers, Genomics, and Machine LearningPotential Excessive Testing at Scale: Biomarkers, Genomics, and Machine LearningPotential Excessive Testing at Scale: Biomarkers, Genomics, and Machine Learning 1/8/19 One of two co-authors of this “viewpoint,” Kenneth D. Mandl wrote (with my emphasis): Biomarkup—when biomarkers are promoted and sometimes even designed for economic gain. @arjunmanrai … Blood music orchestrates human life (3)
“Deadly giant viruses with unknown genes are coming back to life!” Today’s horror story is the same one that science fiction author Greg Bear and I have been telling for ~ two decades, after discussions and correspondence in the context of Howard Bloom’s International Paleopsychology Project. My comment to Hashem Al-Ghaili’s FB watch page. … The tipping point (revisited): 82,000 publications (1)
Summary: Energy-dependent amino acid substitutions prevent the evolution of virus-driven pathology. See also my responses to Theorists Debate How ‘Neutral’ Evolution Really Is Correction added on Nov. 9: The original version of this article misstated the key input required by the neutral model. Re: …figuring out exactly how — and how much — selection is … I can’t fix stupid (3)
If you are going to #SFN2018 #SFN, you may need an update on what is known to all serious scientists. For example, compared to theorists, serious scientists know how ecological variation must link food odors and pheromones from jumping genes and transposons in bacteria to biophysically constrained ecological adaptations in vertebrates. In all vertebrates with … 10,000 reasons to believe in biophysical constraints (2)
Biologically uninformed theorists and so-called science journalists have ignored their own mental health issues and focussed their attention on the mental health of serious scientists. Some of the serious scientists advise the President of the United States in attempts to help him make America great again by draining the political and academic swamps. It is … A mental health problem at the highest level (2)
Summary: An example from ancient knowledge of trigonometry links pattern recognition as the basis for the science of creationism, and pattern recognition also is the basis for molecular biology. What form of virus-driven pathology would you most like to see eliminated from future consideration by serious scientists who know how energy-dependent RNA-mediated cell type differentiation … Science vs Secularism: Molecular Mechanisms or Math?
Summary: The entire evolution of the microbial world and the virus world, and the interaction between microbes and viruses and other life forms have been left out of the Modern Synthesis…— Eugene Koonin My comment: Viruses are not life forms. They steal the quantized energy that links sunlight to viral latency in the context of … Energy-dependent physical and biophysical constraints (10)
