#Rebiodiversification is #Biodiversity Gain related to a restoration project (like Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation - ARR project), measured by the number of #OTUs (Operational Taxonomic Units, indicating #Richness), in an area over time. #TaxonomyFree #Specciesless #eDNA @Toda.bio image
#Suriname has 94% of its territory covered by #Amazon #forest. How can we drive economic GROWTH while PRESERVING this #natural #infrastructure? By enabling it to generate REVENUE in #bitcoin! I’m thrilled to speak at @Suriname Decentralized about

, our #trustless MRV system that measures #biodiversity GAINS using #eDNA and enables organizations like ACT-Suriname to turn standing #forest into bitcoin. Curious how?

Sometimes I get surprised with my forward-thinking 😂 and love the consistency of thought process over the years. “The problems related to the presence of FALSE POSITIVE and pseudo absences could be solved if #biodiversity characterization was done in a #TaxonomicFree context, looking only at #OTUs to compare biodiversity profiles among samples. […] Although we may never give up on the idea of naming #species, the ease of gathering OTU data is unprecedented, making the prospect of a taxonomic-free #ecology complementary to the traditional one more and more likely in the years to come.” #Speciesless #Toda.bio #BioBureau https://peerj.com/preprints/2103/#
“Pessimism has been endemic in almost every society throughout history. It has taken the form of the #PrecautionaryPrinciple, and of ‘who should rule?’ political philosophies and all sorts of other demands for prophecy, and of despair in the power of #creativity, and of the misinterpretation of problems as insuperable barriers.” — The Beginning of Infinity: Explanations That Transform the World de David Deutsch https://amz.onl/9DHzOT9 #Science #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #ATHPodcast image
“Popper’s criterion can be met only by societies that expect their #knowledge to #grow–and to grow unpredictably. And, further, they are expecting that if it did grow, that would HELP. This expectation is what I call #optimism, and I can state it, in its most general form, thus: The Principle of Optimism All evils are caused by INSUFFICIENT knowledge.” — The Beginning of Infinity: Explanations That Transform the World de David Deutsch https://amz.onl/8UUUOMX image
As we approach elections in #Rio “the ‘who should rule?’ approach to political philosophy is not just a mistake of academic analysis: it has been part of practically every bad political doctrine in history. If the political process is seen as an engine for putting the right rulers in power, then it justifies violence, for until that right system is in place, no ruler is legitimate; and once it is in place, and its designated rulers are ruling, opposition to them is opposition to rightness. The problem then becomes how to thwart anyone who is working against the rulers or their policies. By the same logic, everyone who thinks that existing rulers or policies are bad must infer that the ‘who should rule?’ question has been answered wrongly, and therefore that the power of the rulers is not legitimate, and that opposing it is legitimate, by force if necessary. Thus the very question ‘Who should rule?’ begs for violent, authoritarian answers, and has often received them. It leads those in power into tyranny, and to the entrenchment of bad rulers and bad policies; it leads their opponents to violent destructiveness and revolution.” — The Beginning of Infinity: Explanations That Transform the World de David Deutsch https://amz.onl/iVIetzp
