Our eyes developed from a cyclopean worm 600 million years ago and its lone eye is now our pineal gland. 'Remnants of the ancient parietal median eye from our distant ancestor actually remain in our heads today, transformed into the pineal gland. The pineal gland is a light‑sensitive organ in the vertebrate brain. It produces the hormone melatonin, which helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythm. “It’s mind‑boggling that our pineal gland’s ability to regulate our sleep according to light stems from the cyclopean median eye of a distant ancestor 600 million years ago,” concludes Dan‑E Nilsson.'

In light of what has come in the open these last few hours, and what you can see with your own eyes when you step out onto the streets, surely you can figure out who the good guys and the bad guys are by now?

Chronic lower back pain cost the US $100 billion annually directly and two or three times that if you include indirect costs like loss of labour. However simple walking for about 1.5-2 hours daily reduced the risk of developing it by 23%. The cost reduction for society encouraging us to walk more and drive less are potentially huge (not even starting to count all the other health positives of walking). Why not start with encouraging the building of walkable mixed high density neighborhoods and towns that was the human norm for thousands of years? And make them walkable. We know from studies on campuses and theme parks that even Americans are happy to spend far more than 2 hours on their feet if they can be distracted by alluring or interesting surroundings. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b1a4eb652e637f405b61228eed1a95f15e499196acfd0b2936ca62ca8aa7f8bc.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6cb723466fc53b072af4fcd983df447faa077557d657a819b1967f66fb96aa87.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/51d7fc6b5f764b0e7ffc0f7a5dd774d7c67b54394dc1ef6ef7340460cd825ab3.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/515e2aec7920a5deba75c37b56241792335be79efec9ae27fbcd1a5a8a7493b3.file

“Humans will build one structure, leave it there, and hope it lasts for many decades. Beavers, on the other hand, build little, tiny dams where they’re needed and flexibly manage what’s going on with the water in their environment.” https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2025/08/beavers-climate-resilient-watersheds-biodiversity-research https://hell.twtr.plus/media/fb1f62671a659150c955fda228cd3278d5317888f68c2d062450dda431483268.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c416380e85b2ca6442f4e10312f0f5086e3245102d83b48d551e9ec123b50a90.file
