Nature has left us a lot to learn. From naturally-cemented cliffs, we learn how to construct self-healing concretes, from a swarm of birds and animals, and from a group of ants and humans, we learn how a group, collectively, thinks, behaves, evolves and responds. Nature, still, has a lot to teach us, if we live/leave it unharmed! https://lnkd.in/dw4rvhCz https://lnkd.in/dpyVBfJH https://lnkd.in/dAyupH-i

Brutality is not a new phenomenon in human history; it has persisted since the dawn of civilization. As a consequence, laws were enacted, and systems of jurisprudence established in an effort to curb criminal behavior. Despite these efforts, violence and atrocities persist, largely because true change must come from within us. Without a shift in human behavior, no amount of legal measures will fully eradicate such acts from the world. Additionally, super power nations openly play a pivotal role in perpetuating global conflicts. They fund or support offenders through the salling weapons or indirect involvement, fueling cycles of violence. This not only contributes to continued warfare but also causes widespread environmental harm. Wherever humans leave their mark, destruction follows. A striking example is the garbage left behind by astronauts on the moon. Similarly, the increase in tourism to remote mountain regions has led to more human traffic and garbage, disrupting once-pristine environments. These examples highlight how human activity, unchecked, tends to harm both society and the natural world. #war #brutality #masacare #conflicts #free #freedom #alberteinstein #scientist #philosopher #linekdin

Day 17 of the Atomic Human Advent Calendar. Different ideas about the right approach to take can lead to tensions which brings us to politics. Today's reflection is "Political Animals" https://lnkd.in/eEtrviq2

THE TRUMP. DONALD Metaphorically, Trump is both the conductor of a well-orchestrated chaos and the centerpiece of a political fresco capturing the essence of our times: disorder, spectacle, and an ever-present tension between fascination and fear. Impossible to ignore, his presence is like a supernova orbiting far too close—dazzling in its brilliance, yet ominous in its gravitational pull toward catastrophe. As for the future, the narrative seems painted on a canvas where shadows dominate the light. Pessimism casts the world as a precarious stage: the planet’s fragile fate, Canada and Greenland frozen in symbolic uncertainty, or the Panama Canal—a global artery pulsating with significance, yet threatened by transformations beyond control. And yet, emerging from this bleak picture, there is an almost cosmic irony: the hope that from this apparent chaos, something unexpected might be born. Perhaps what looks like political apocalypse is merely the prelude to a new world order—one more chaotic, more unpredictable, but perhaps, in its imperfections, more authentic. https://lnkd.in/gSC2AcUv

Stern self-discipline is absolutely essential. Self-discipline does not mean suppression, but taming the brute within. It means humanization of the animal and spiritualization of the human.

Molecules and species exploration...

In this research by the Florida Atlantic University & funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Team imaged the internal architecture of each vertebra of the thresher shark and the mineral structures found in the calcified cartilage by using Bruker micro-CT instruments. The aim was to understand the mechanisms behind the thresher sharks' vertebrae that allow its machete-like tail to be used to slap and stun prey, allowing it to swallow multiple fish in one fell swoop. These images help the Team understand exactly how the shark's unique catapult system works. Link: https://lnkd.in/dU82puvH #Bruker #MicroCT #PreclinicalImaging #Shark
