An as yet undiscovered force, more significant than electricity...
"...The method of science, in a materialistic sense, is based on analysis splitting apart (today atomsplitting and fusion etc.), disintegration, separation, dissecting and all the procedures which have to destroy and take apart, to work on the corpse rather than to grow, to develop, to synthesize. That the human mind was captured by these methods of braking apart: in that I saw the source of our present situation. My question therefore was: is it possible to find another force or energy in nature, which does not have in itself the ductus of atomazing and analysis but builds up, synthesizes. Would we discover that force constructive, which makes things alive and grow, develop adequate building up methods of investigation, evt. use this force for another type of technic, applied to drive machines, than because of the inner nature of this force or energy we might be able to create another technology, social structure, constructive thinking of man rather than destructive thinking. This force must have the impulse of life, of organisation within itself as the so-called physical energies have the splitting, separating trend within themselves. My question to Rudolf Steiner October 1920 and spring 1921 therefore was: does such a force or source of energy exist? Can it be demonstrated? Could an altruistic technic be build upon it?"

Do what I tell you, because complexity, okay? - by Ben Pile - A necessary take down of the horrendously brain-dead, fear-driven, bullshit psyops that is George Monbiot
Do what I tell you, because complexity, okay?
In a "complex system", the effect of an intervention might be exactly the same as a non-intervention. Conversely, an incautious intervention might be catastrophic.
But George thinks he knows.
Folk such as George are *obsessed* with "systems". They conceive of the world as a "system", which they claim to have knowledge of. But what they really want to do is systematise human life, to reflect what they believe is the greater 'system'.
In other words, it is ideology dressed as objectivity. Many have claimed to have grasped the meaning of cosmological, social or natural orders, and demanded that the world be reorganised on the basis of these systems of understanding. And tragedy followed.

In the quantum realm, not even time flows as you might expect - New study shows the boundary between time moving forward and backward may blur in quantum mechanics (review)
A team of physicists at the Universities of Bristol, Vienna, the Balearic Islands and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI-Vienna) has shown how quantum systems can simultaneously evolve along two opposite time arrows - both forward and backward in time.
The study, published in the latest issue of Communications Physics, necessitates a rethink of how the flow of time is understood and represented in contexts where quantum laws play a crucial role.

On the Origin of Form
“New forms do not come from nothing, not for us humans at any rate; they come from prior forms, through mutations, whether unsought or invited. In a fundamental sense, there are no theories of creation; there are only accounts of the development of new forms from earlier forms.” - Frank Barron
From the Paper "The Creative Process and Reality"

Towards fungal computer - by Andrew Adamatzky
We propose that fungi Basidiomycetes can be used as computing devices: information is represented by spikes of electrical activity, a computation is implemented in a mycelium network and an interface is realized via fruit bodies. In a series of scoping experiments, we demonstrate that electrical activity recorded on fruits might act as a reliable indicator of the fungi’s response to thermal and chemical stimulation. A stimulation of a fruit is reflected in changes of electrical activity of other fruits of a cluster, i.e. there is distant information transfer between fungal fruit bodies. In an automaton model of a fungal computer, we show how to implement computation with fungi and demonstrate that a structure of logical functions computed is determined by mycelium geometry.
Academics are making 'intelligent buildings' with the help of fungi - The Centre for Unconventional Computing is using fungal colonies in surprising ways.
