Psychedelic attachment theory Ethnographic theory on how psychedelics can facilitate healing—or harm.

I've taken the most important part of my PhD dissertation and turned it into this article. It's long, but I hope you'll read and share it. I offer it as a gift.

It's called Psychedelic Attachment Theory:

Marine particles and their remineralization buffer future ocean biogeochemistry response to climate warming Abstract. Transport and fate of particulate organic carbon (POC) and nutrients through marine particles co-determine the future response of ocean biogeochemistry and oceanic carbon uptake under climat...

Single-celled organism with no brain is capable of Pavlovian learning A trumpet-shaped, single-celled organism seems able to predict one thing will follow another, hinting that such associative learning emerged long before multicellular nervous systems

This is an awesome discovery:
A single-celled organism with no brain called Stentor seems capable of Pavlovian learning. Yes, it can actually learn to associate two things despite having no neurons.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal families and exploration‐based guilds exhibit distinct responses to long‐term N, P and K deficiencies and imbalances Many agroecosystems face nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) or potassium (K) deficiencies due to imbalanced or insufficient nutrient replenishment after biomass harvest. How this affects the symbiosis bet...

Last year researchers confirmed with DNA evidence that a 146,000-year-old skull known as the “Dragon Man” belonged to a Denisovan, an extinct lineage of humans that, like the Neanderthals, once shared the planet with modern humans.

Die Region Friesland und Wilhelmshaven ist u.a. (siehe oben) ein Knotenpunkt für Onshore- & Offshore-Windkraft . Oft Produktion mehr Strom als netzverträglich (Speicherprobleme & Netzengpässe). Statt die Windräder hier abregeln zu müssen, nutzt der Wasserstoffpark diesen Strom für die Elektrolyse.

The study[2023] "Mycorrhizal mycelium as a global carbon pool", it's a conservative estimation, most is unknown (soil biology), land-degradation, agricultural deserts (high-input-systems, monocultures) are most likely a bigger problem, as previously estimated. eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/id/eprint/19...

Speicherprobleme die selben wie bei uns (& überall). Kohle fast bei 0 % (👍 Vergl. zu hier) & Gasbedarf liegt bei etwa 20%. Spanien hat natürlich ein viel kleineres Winterflautenproblem wie wir hier [+(Geographie geringere Fluktuation bspw. Solar, Atomkraft noch vorhanden und die AlgerienPipeline)].

Spanien könnte als einziges EU-Land steigende Energiepreise abfedern Spanien hat in den vergangenen sechs Jahren massiv in Wind- und Solarenergie investiert. Dadurch zählt der Strom dort heute zu den günstigsten in Europa.

Spanien hat ~ die gleiche Ausbaustufe an EE wie Deutschland, aber geographische Vorteile (Solar/Wind), plus noch 20% Atomkraft (läuft aus) und mehr Wasserkraft 10% (bei uns ~5%). Der Faktor aktuell hier ist jedoch die Algerienpipeline, HormuzEffekt = (noch) gering. de.euronews.com/2026/03/11/s...

Und nicht zu vergessen, unsere Importabhängigkeit in Sachen Erneuerbare von China. Es wird mindestens alles etwas teurer und kann auch noch wesentlich einschneidendere Konsequenzen haben. V.a. Speicher(Batterien), Wechselrichter und PV sind betroffen, also eigentlich fast alles relevante.
