Vegaterian

haha, the anti-vegetarian argument. I like it.

lorax, that reminds me of something i read the other day (while investigating the notion of symbiosis), about some scientist who has strong feelings about Darwin’s model being incomplete (i have to agree), and that it’s not so much competition driven, as it is based on symbiosis and mutually beneficial cooperation.

so, essentially, while “PvP” (person vs person) has significant relevance, the more important thing is “GvG” (group vs group)… teamwork, cooperation… and in this way, a team of more effectively cooperative, but individually inferior beings, is capable of defeating a team of “rambos” (superior soloists who thrive in 1v1 situations, but won’t work with their team). Kinda like how a pack of hyenas can take down a lion, but a lion will destroy any hyena 1v1. A group cooperating toward the acquisition of shared resources, is often far more effective than a single individual, and has more room for error.

I’ve probably heard of companion planting before, but i suppose i never gave it much thought. I pretty much stuck to the stuff like “you can’t have male and female cannabis anywhere near each other, or you’ll get seeds… so you need to “sex” the plants as soon as possible, and remove all the males, preferably without shaking pollen all over the place. And when you get a really good male, you use that one to pollinate your best females, or ones with desired features, to replenish seed-stock and create hybrids.”
