  • Land based plants exist in an arms race between access to sunlight and water/nutrients. They have to physically occupy two separate areas. In contrast, water based plants only need to occupy one location, the water closest to the surface. Since there is no evolutionary advantage to starting to grow tall, water based plants don’t grow as tall.

    Seaweed grows large, but it doesn’t need the kind of rigid structure trees have.





  • People have assumptions of what correct communication should be, and it generally has a minimum page length instead of minimum content amount.

    The worst cases I’ve seen is when they’re trying to convince someone of something verbally, they get the agreement very quickly, but get stuck in convince mode rather than moving on since it shouldn’t be that easy.







  • Part of it is greed. Part of it is that television and physical media subsidized a lot of streaming’s content and now that money is gone. There has already been a collapse of some types of movies and TV shows because the economics that led to their golden age are no longer there.

    Netflix used to get streaming rights for pennies because production companies made their money through other sources. Now those income streams are dead.
