When study participants were told to neglect the organism, expressing guilt or even grief.“People were shocked; almost all of them were like, ‘Really? I have to do that?’” Lopes said. “There were very human responses. Some people were sad, some people really felt like the connection was broken.”
Nah, we love our planet. The problem is that ghouls who have lost touch with their own humanity have taken the reins of how our society works, and most people are too beaten down to do anything about it.
I wish. But loving our planet would also mean such choices as not flying any more. Taking the bike instead of the car. Riding the train. Reducing meat.
I absolutely would be one of those people. Not only are those slime molds exceptionally cool, I can anthropomorphise a warm rock if the situation arises.
About the same time I was finishing my masters in Industrial Engineering, I read an article about how slime molds followed the same patterns as what optimization mathematics would suggest, and it put things in perspective to realize how much education I needed to become as smart as a slime mold.
