Bees are astonishingly good at making decisions. They can choose the best nest site, flower patch, or dance partner using a simple rule: compare two options at a time and pick the best one. Our computer model shows how this rule can achieve optimal outcomes with minimal effort. Bees are the masters of efficient decision-making.

this aired 49 years ago this week. the ominous accuracy of oh shit 2020 really kicks off is delighfully horrifying!

on balance no one "in power" bothered for 60 years since silent spring, no one has really cared for 50 years since models like this. etc etc. my dude was like "we have started to recycle rubbish" ...

makes my efforts to save heritage opensource seed and tread lightly seem a bit silly. I guess it could be easier to just bury head in sand and party like it's 1999. I will still choose not to step on other people and planet to "get ahead" until we burn out i guess.

for now, enjoy some chocolate and coffee while their beans still exist? are there still people who thinks it's a great business opportunity to repel the masses from the tropics while growing bananas in lapland?
