Invoking nature with its implied supremacy ignores that many cultures have fundamentally differing ideas of even what nature is, much less how it should work.

Like the ocean, land plants hold about three times as much carbon as the atmosphere. While oceans take many centuries to exchange this mass with the air, flora take only a few years.

Like immense time-binding discussions, genres allow ideas to be developed and traded, and for variations to be spun down through decades.

A view of nature as dense and nonlinear is at the core of our contemporary science. Process and order emerge subtly.

Enzymes - plainly the most important biotechnology of our era - already permeate many industrial processes. Unlike fossil fuels, they carry chemical programming which drives complex reactions, are renewable, and work at ordinary pressures and temperatures.

True twins share womb chemistry and endure many fateful slings and arrows together. The fabled connection between twins is true in my case.
