I had a lot of buttons pushed listening to this. My comment : The theme is money. But money is just a kind of knowledge: knowledge about the perceived value of things. It's a sign of total global insanity that peoples' lives are ruined and others are killed just because of different ways value is perceived. The root cause is our inability to adequately communicate our perceived values to one another. That should be the core rôle of the United Nations, but it isn't doing that. Instead it just provides platforms that can be captured in one way or another by spontaneous groupings of special interests.

It's a study based on molecular clocks and horizontal gene transfer. See  A timetree of Fungi dated with fossils and horizontal gene transfers by Lénárd L.

See the paper at  https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3776727 First a presentation at POPL 2026 . My comment : 23:35 You have to get this far to see what they're actually doing! At 28:45 you start to wonder though,... 😂 I think one of these is a synthetic view and the other is analytic, though in Category theory it often isn't obvious which is which!

It's an essay:  What are quantum superpositions?   TLDR: A clearly motivated geometric understanding of quantum superpositions (no, a quantum system can't be in multiple states at once) See this post :  Subscribe to  Gabriele Carcassi . This morning we read about the topology of experimental verifiability. This project really makes physics seem like it's worth studying. The hard part is finding any physicists who feel the same.  Subscribe to Assumptions of Physics .
