A conceptual split, borrowing language from relativity, to categorize ecological thinking. General Ecology deals with the universal laws and principles that apply to all systems—the "theory of everything" for interconnectedness, like thermodynamics or network theory. Special Ecology deals with the specific, unique rules governing particular types of systems—like the ecology of a coral reef versus the ecology of a desert versus the ecology of an online community. General Ecology gives you the grammar; Special Ecology gives you the vocabulary for a specific place. You need both to speak the language of the planet fluently.
General and Special Ecology "General Ecology says every system needs an energy source. Special Ecology says the energy source for this coral reef is the sun, filtered through symbiotic algae, and if the water warms by two degrees, the whole thing dies. General gives you the big picture; Special keeps you from killing the thing you're studying."
A good way to offer that special someone in bed a nice start to their day. This includes; wrapping a freshly cookedpancake around your dong, which will represent the sausage, then applying a little butter and some syrup on top of it with scrambled eggs on your nuts. Before deliverance, you wrap a bath towel around your waist with Special held underneath it before unveiling the surprise.
Hans: Hey honey, I whipped you up a bed and breakfast special for you.
Maria: Oh you're too kind sweetie— hold on, what's that supposed to be in-between the pancake?
Hans: Some man sausage you're about to get, if you know what I mean.
