Unfortunately the laws of thermodynamics will get in the way. Cannabis farming uses electricity to build organic chemicals and outputs waste heat at 40°C; bitcoin mining uses electricity to solve equations and outputs waste heat at 40°C. Th

The plane in question had enough fuel to make it across the Atlantic; it certainly had enough to make it back to Russia. If Snowden had been on board they would indisputably have done so. The choice to land in Austria was a political decisi

High fares (and they aren't that high) aren't a result of privatization; they're because of a lack of subsidy. In the UK, despite the obvious environmental benefits, subsidizing rail is politically awkward because it's r

There is no benefit to a gene in benefitting the species per se. A trait that increases the size of the gene pool while decreasing its own absolute prevalence will die out. Group selection is a possible mechanism in social animals, but it r

How does that constitute an evolutionary model? The genes for depression reach a dead end in the people who didn't reproduce; they aren't being passed on in the children of the people who did. Is this a kin or group selection mode

There's an argument that stress is bad, because it forces the body to prioritise immediate survival at the expense of long term health. However, simulating a hunt should be good for the health since it informs the body that it is in a
