Museum of Natural History

A museum that was there before several generations of new guards and will be there after these next generations as long as it and other beloved people, places, and things live on in the people.

The Museum of Natural History will always face the adversity of being threatened with wildfire (and so far is still standing strong in it's face), but New Yorkers know how to tell a wildfire to go fuck itself when a new guard tries to come in and walk all over what's already there and has been around the block a few times, or what's left of what was already there if some things have already been taken.

Just let Nature run its Coors

I.e., don't worry about your swelled-out belly's being too full of light beer --- simply wait a while for your bladder to empty itself several times, and then you'll feel better.

Consuming alcohol is never a good idea, anyway, but if you've had a few too many Silver Bullets "over da Coors of da evening", don't get all panicky over it --- instead, quietly sit back, relax, and "just let Nature run its Coors".

Human nature

A response when people say "Why, why?"

Human nature

A simple response when people ask "Why, why?" This response is usually followed by with "Why, why, does he do me that way?" Commonly found in a song in Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album, although it is seldom used in conversations.

Jenny: Why, why?
Kelly: Because it's human nature.
Jenny: Why, why, does he do me that way?

Hard Problem of the Natural Sciences

The tension between reductionism and emergence. The natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology) succeed by breaking things down into constituent parts. But the most interesting phenomena—life, consciousness, ecosystems—are emergent properties of complex systems that seem irreducible. The hard problem is: Can a "theory of everything" that only describes the most fundamental particles ever explain why a heart breaks or a forest thrives? Or does each level of complexity (chemical, biological, ecological) require its own irreducible laws and explanations, making the reductionist dream incomplete?

Example: You can have a perfect, complete physics textbook describing quarks and forces, a perfect chemistry textbook on bonding, and a perfect biology textbook on genetics. None of them will contain the chapter "How to Be a Brave Wolf Protecting Its Pack." That behavior emerges from a dizzying hierarchy of systems. The hard problem: The natural sciences are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The rock is the reductionist belief that everything is just particles. The hard place is the obvious reality that "just particles" cannot account for meaning, purpose, or complex agency without something being lost in translation. Hard Problem of the Natural Sciences.

Nature Harnessing

The broad, ancient, and sometimes arrogant ambition of channeling the raw, complex systems of the natural world for human ends. This includes everything from old-school dams and selective breeding to modern geoengineering and ecosystem service management. It's about leveraging the immense, interconnected power of living and geological processes—water cycles, photosynthesis, predation, pollination, plate tectonics—on a large scale. The line between "harnessing" and "dominating" is thin, and nature often has a way of biting back.

*Example: "Our city's climate control uses nature harnessing. We planted a genetically tailored mega-forest upwind to seed clouds, used beaver dam analogs to recharge the aquifer, and released a predator species to control the mosquitoes. We're not fighting nature; we're trying to be its annoying project manager."
