Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

drop them PDFs, we will rebuild edition

I have bastards i haven't met yet in my head and i want to talk to them. and tell them how to be or something. be cool with them. they are 16, 2 of them and 9, 3 of them and they are on this website. this picture is like 10 years old and facebook edited me uglier

General thread for all things related to the field of Ecology, a subfield of Biology that focuses on studying ecosystems. Not sure what else to stay to start the new thread other than may you have biodiverse and healthy ecosystem wherever you may stay at and here is this cool paper I read and a question:

>Cool Paper: Comparison of the Assemblages of Sap-Feeding Insects (Homoptera-Hemiptera) Inhabiting Two Structurally Different Salt Marsh Grasses in the Genus Spartina

Abstract: The vegetation of New Jersey tidal salt marshes is composed primarily of 2 grasses; Spartina patens , which occupies a narrow elevational zone of high marsh and Spartina alterniflora , an intertidal species. S. patens forms a dense, persistent, thatch, while S. alterniflora produces only a loose lattice of litter which rapidly decomposes.

A comparison between the guilds of sap-feeding insects (for the most part, Delphacidae, Cicadellidae, Issidae, and Miridae) inhabiting these grasses reveals S. patens housing a much more diverse assemblage of herbivores than S. alterniflora. S. alterniflora -inhabiting species are exclusively bi- or trivoltine, while on S. patens , sap-feeders possess a greater variety of life history types and show a specialized trend toward univoltinism.

Removal of only the dead thatch portion of S. patens results in reduced species diversity and evenness of sap-feeders on the living grass system. Trivoltine species, which normally inhabit the upper strata of S. patens , increase their populations on dethatched grass compared to the unaltered grass system.

Both empirical and experimental evidence suggests that the complex microstructure and thatch of S. patens provide a more heterogeneous and protective resource which supports a more diverse and specialized fauna of sap-feeders than S. alterniflora

>tldr: Salt marshes have low elevated sections that recieve more flooding dominated by S. alterniflora and high elevated sections dominated by S. patens. An important group of herbivores within the whole salt marsh are Sap feeding planthoppers and it turns out the areas of High marsh with dense stands of S. patens that form thatch having the greatest species richness of plant hoppers. Not only were there more species but many univoltine(only one generation at a specific time of year) specialists were restricted to this microhabitat. Another thing I enjoy about Post too long.

Do you believe in telegony?

If it's only on an epigenetic level, I'm kind of fine with it. As I am with the proven microchimerism through pregnancy. But the thought of microchimerisms potentially occurring as consequence of unprotected vaginal sex alone makes me depressed. Though if I had to guess I'd say only the former two cases are likely to be real.

there's a slim chance that there's some unknown mechanism for the process but the only evidence for that would be circumstantial
>lots of hunter-gatherers believe in it and they know a thing or two about fucking
>scientific institutions are vaguely aligned with societal pressures that went as few pressures on women as possible
>biological knowledge is incomplete
I wouldn't worry about it but I wouldn't be surprised if it were something. If it exists it's probably very minor


If true how do we use it to our advantage?

Post any PDF here that you have pertaining to military history and strategy.

Now some needless filler: As leftists we should also be educated on organizing in a militant fashion. Primarily to mobilize the working class so they are able to defend themselves against oppressive forces.

AKA the second brain.
I've been fighting gut problems for ~2 years now, which have been the worst years in my life.

I want to start a thread on this topic. Partly to vent, but also to share and exchange information on this topic.
I've tried trusting doctors but it's lead to long, arduous, and expensive treatment that lead to no positive results and only worse symptoms as they pumped me full of antibiotics and PPIs leading to further infection from opportunistic bacteria and fungi.

Of the protocols I've followed (that aren't from a doctor), I've tried:
>Super Gut (Dr. William Davis)
Which uses natural anti-biotics/fungals alongside cultured "yogurt" which is used to multiply the dose of probiotic colonizing bacteria
>Grow a New Body by Alberto Villoldo
He's a bullshit Shamanic healer but he cites studies on certain parts of the program.
The jist is a combination of lengthy fasts (20-22hrs), low carb diet for ketosis alongside culturing Saccharomyces Boulardii in Cider to make Hard Apple Cider with a significantly larger number of probiotic yeasts in order to combat Candida infestation.

Most critiques of society mention the school system, and describe it as an authoritarian nightmare. I have to assume that people with this viewpoint are from older generations because I (born early 2000s) did not find school oppressive at all. The "education" I received was questionable but that's another matter.

If you guys had to pick 4 short books as the ultimate starter pack on /leftypol/itics, which ones would you pick?

Which ones are the best combination of being essential, uncomplicated and short?
