How viable is to develop a pest for coca extinction? This demonic plant is the single cause for thousands of homicides in Latin America every year

The coca plant exists. That is not the problem; the problem is a political one.

The USA tried banning alcohol - alcohol consumption is bad for your health, but also for the health of others; inebriated drivers and such - and THE PROHIBITION proved that banning alcohol did not just nit work: it meant huge profits for organized crime.

It is funny that the WAR ON DRUGS - started by Richard Nixon - has the same result; clearly the WAR ON ALCOHOL lessons were not learned.

So .. your WAR ON COCA won't work.

Kin selection doesn't remove the negative effects of cheating:
Let's say your brother screws someone over so that you can benefit, later you screw someone over so that you can benefit. Now at least one person hates each of you, which isn't any better than if you cheated each yourself.

Hypothetically speaking, could large slots be cut through mountain ranges east to west to bring moisture through to desert basins on the East of California?

some low yield nukes don't cost billions of dollars. in fact the US could easily blow up a mountain range every year because nukes go bad eventually and have to get replaced and the USAF has to train anyway.

It would probably work. Major undertaking though.

Death Valley was a lake up until about 10,000 years ago during the last recent ice age. The lake dried up when global weather patterns changed due to the natural Milankovich Cycle. If carbon doesn't totally fuck the next Milankovich Cycle it'll become a lake again but that's a pretty big if now.

Oy vey, it's the carbon, goy, the carbon is evil, the carbon needs to be reduced, the carbon is increasing, the carbon isn't used by plants, anything that has carbon is the devil, have you stopped using carbon? It's the source of every environmental problem.

I have no idea. I have never looked deeply into sound generation. Thats why i dont know if this large waves are possible with standard equipment. Thats even maybe more challenging as the power. Cause its just compresses the heat, it doesn't really take it out of the system. Thats why it can be much more cost efficient in terms of wk.

Are you a math student who has really shitty fundamentals and gaps in knowledge? Then I highly recommend picking up Book of Proof. The writing style and pacing assumes you've been through the rigamaroo of uni math, but you will reinforce and solidify the fundamentals of sets, logic and proof writing. I highly recommend it. It's also free: https://www.people.vcu.edu/~rhammack/BookOfProof/

I think Jaynes is right, but his definition of consciousness is not what we typically mean these days.

Jaynes is describing "the voice in your head", and how that arose in human beings, but not "qualia" or "subjective experience".

The thing that Jaynes doesn't get enough credit for, is that he made many predictions based on this framework that ended up getting experimental evidence, which is quite interesting.

I've seen modern advocates of Jaynes try to say that when he said "language", he really mean a more abstract, metaphorical notiong of language. I suppose this is an attempt to bridge the gap that Jaynes leaves when you consider the idea of non-verbal or non-linguistic forms of consciousness. My reading of Jaynes however seemed quite clear that he meant language in the normal sense, the voice in your head.

Overall a fantastic book and some of the bravest science I've ever seen. Balls of fucking steel and he mostly got everything right.

And by brave, I mean the fact that the dude used ancient Greek literature and archeological evidence to derive a theory of how the mind works. You'd think that kind of stuff would land you right into whack job territory, but Jaynes makes it work and sticks the landing like a pro.
