Further evidence that conserving wild animals is not just 'nice' but is essential for the role they play in providing ecosystem services that sustain us all... now we just need to work out a system to pay for those services, thereby bridging the biodiversity funding gap www.earth.com/news/africas...

A study comparing media coverage and internet searches related to recent climate & biodiversity COPs reveals that the biodiversity COP received far less attention.⏳ Both crises are interlinked & best addressed together. More w/ Nature Portfolio : https://www.nature.com/articles/s44185-025-00082-w

Federico Faggin’s insights on Quantum Information Panpsychism state: "Mathematics evolves out of consciousness. Therefore, mathematics cannot explain consciousness. Consciousness ultimately knows we are infinitely connected. #ConsciousnessStudies youtu.be/0FUFewGHLLg?...

Frederico Faggin. Brilliant physicist, inventor, thinker. Does the best job explaining how “we are all one” and how physics (classical and quantum) gets him there. #spirituality #oneness youtu.be/MSn4t6fP_dc

I had the immense honor of being part of a small group discussion at UVA’s Division of Perceptual Studies over summer that included the legendary Frederico Faggin. Faggin is famous for inventing the microprocessor & touchscreen technology. Now he is conquering consciousness. This is a must read.
