🚨 New paper out today!
We revisit the classic Daisyworld model using semantic information theory to explore how biospheres regulate their planets through information—not just energy.

Why does the most original science sometimes come from outside elite circles?
Our new paper tackles a tough question:
Do superstar scientists fuel or stifle innovation around them?
After 2 years + a few rejections, it’s finally out. 🧵
