"A complex interplay between immunological and environmental factors may have a role in autism."https://t.co/EDy8eMGqcK https://t.co/FYeGOzqaJQ
Why? Mutualism"developed defenses against cheater behavior such as completely shutting out unrelated individuals." https://t.co/thWdPbamay https://t.co/Je6AFiZX7S
Could we be throwing out the balance of the very thing that empowers humanity's collective intelligence & cohesion? https://t.co/v3iFpeAHPX
Consider that my IRL social network is maybe 4 to 20, and yet 4000+ people have seen this thread here on creativity:https://t.co/QLzmES2y0e
Old ideas, like existing genes, are selectively remixed+destroyed, often building scaffolds for others to grow upon.https://t.co/WQotucH287
"We thought that there might be storage space for food or a stable beneath the house. But had no idea that it..." https://t.co/E1Zg1dvY7k https://t.co/NEuE8fLXjT
Our genetics for signaling, and learning, can be traced all the way back to the ancestors of slime mold. https://t.co/b9nJAmSIbn

Game theory all the way down: https://t.co/80rXv7G2C3
Collaborate or compete? A constant battle.https://t.co/tb5I1LujAa
Games within games => Predator/prey dynamic in ecosystems => Standing waves => sustainable/stable meta-strategies: https://t.co/m4utDyJH0j
What is a stable?Weirdness is a microfluxuation of surface tension.Calm before storm.Blackswans & phase change. https://t.co/GRfCjurJe2

There's a reason why I identify as an encapsulated slime mold cyborg.https://t.co/ow4kz7lFWv https://t.co/q4FvTbnAVv
Imagine slime mold sitting in a robotic suit relaying information to it thru a complex sensor apparatus. That's you!https://t.co/J2ACLRl5Pz
... I'm really not joking about this theory: Modeling neurons in the brain as selfish eukaryotic cells cooperating?https://t.co/rjPmQYm2Bu https://t.co/uZsRaeJpaJ
I don't see how we can be anything else?https://t.co/ATWKEchuDg
Or to put it another way, is there a meta game we can play that beats nash? https://t.co/HjEqSbC0dv
This was published in 1999. What have we learned since that could move us forward as a species, sans murder monkeys? https://t.co/P7jvco21wL
Scientists measuring frequency of infected bodies in refuse pile lead to an assumption; This is survivorship bias!https://t.co/mmE6IWMWau https://t.co/FYrhrOmxs1
Facebook is bad for spreading fake news? It was being used spreading real deadly pox infections first. Social Virus.https://t.co/uK5HvsdGbw https://t.co/4EtotOaBeD
Just so we're clear… this thread is on how society is effectively trying to kill autistic persons at systemic level.https://t.co/0OEuE84Ic6 https://t.co/b1Vma3R59J
Vaccines for chicken pox used more frequently in a population of people susceptible to the disease? You don't say...Spreading deadly lies. https://t.co/0ZrbyKJ99n
This is exactly what you'd expect to see if the vaccines are preventing infant deaths: https://t.co/jDTvuMCHHk
Things that might be causing autism?Overuse of broad spectrum antibiotics. Vaccines *protect* us from that.https://t.co/tN9E3tbvb6 https://t.co/zRiYKuS4Z7
Every-fucking-body has the causal chain complete ass-backwards.This is a "last-mile" social norm problem.https://t.co/fh2sEl7e88 https://t.co/lmFbHfDcbL
We need to get our shit together.https://t.co/XNI9KMG2oI
Weaken immune system, then convince everyone it's vaccines: the very thing keeping us alive. Systematic Genocide.https://t.co/9hMGmBDJXu
Whales are a proxy species for humans.https://t.co/sR6Bkqx6vm https://t.co/0hDjV4lQK4

The vaccine narrative: I couldn't invent a better bit of propaganda to spread if I actually wanted to hurt autistic etiology.https://t.co/ijGeP25Odc https://t.co/WvBMNbCOEq
"Here we argue that to understand a given microbiome feature, such as colonization resistance, host nutrition or immune development, we must consider how hosts and symbionts evolve." https://t.co/0QLOFHpelx https://t.co/7ArxtYWzBC
"Phage (and virome) research is currently entering a renaissance, driven by an era of technological advancement that is seeing a shift from reductionist thinking."https://t.co/VuBuri8ifq https://t.co/BIIYr1LuKs
"the rate of vaccination contagion may be even more important than the biological contagion in determining the course of the disease."https://t.co/k3DO72f0GJ https://t.co/O3dgxpetNV
That last study is literally suggesting the memepool is more important than the genepool when it comes to infectious disease. https://t.co/8vsyJNTSSf
This is the classic evolutionary scaffolding phenomena acting via adaptive cultural norms as a forcing function.Why aren't people singing this idea from the rooftops?https://t.co/uPwsjpzhQc https://t.co/xSjErhHdQ9
I've known about evolutionary scaffolding processes since at least 2006.get on my level.https://t.co/Je10PVUFlc
I remember it was 2006 because that's when I learned that someone had proved the evolutionary speciation can occur via ring-theory in the wild (this is a form of scaffolding).https://t.co/fiQfGmqWF8
