Anyone think maybe neurotypical individuals is DNA trying to make a more rational brain. Like evolutionary Vulcanism?
Like Neurotypes are just X-Men and the only character is Beast?

God, it’s so dorky –I love it! Give me a good story, not a franchise that’s been run into the ground. The retro science fiction framing isn’t overdone, the characters are intriguing, and the in medias res is spot on, no context required.

The global redistribution of trillions of tonnes mass causes land rebound & seabed depression. Tectonic plates respond. Seismic activity increases. Expect earthquakes & vulcanism at increasing frequency & scale.

well can you get them without fracturing? just kinda straight melt over a hot spot? i'm thinking about places like Venus and Mars and Io where (to wildly oversimplify) there still is or was vulcanism even though the plates froze up & stopped fracturing when they lost water.

Spock is supposed to be half human. He comes at Vulcanism from a different place. And of course Nimoy played him correctly as he created the role.

ATLAS-Denneau arrived as a planetoid,
engaged in cryo-vulcanism and other processes in the six months it shot through our solar system,
around our strong, middle-aged star, which clearly affected it
"burning off" mass
resulting in it leaving more like
a comet.
maybe this happens a lot

Spending half an hour reading about vulcanism and the geology of the Pyrenees for a stupid joke that will be lucky to get three Likes is pretty much a good encapsulation of how and why I have learned 90% of the things that I have ever learned
He should have said something more believable, like they needed to unforge the One Ring by throwing it into the fires of the fearsome Pic de Croscat volcano there

1] Freak shit all around from both parties /intriguing
2] Typical college stuff
3] How the hell did this girl fall in love with Tuvok. His attitude sucks [/affectionate, I love him but it's true] and all he does with her is Vulcan bible study. So we're back to point 1.

![[Tuvok] spent inordinate quantities of time with Sophie Timmins during the last months of his senior year at the Academy, discussing the teachings of M'Fau, mditating communally, and discussing the profundities of cthia. He discerned that Sophie's fascination for things Vulcan was not merely an intellectual curiosity; she seemed to want, on some deeply felt level, to be Vulcan. She pored over Vulcan history and studied Surak's writings assiduously.
She was the first true friend Tuvok had made among Humans, and that only because she did everything she could to disavow her Humanity and to inculcate Vulcanism.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kkbm3f67zvo6rtgq775xae7m/bafkreihmwexnggvu65sw3hwsq57zphrx2lq6hd4q4s57v4hpwsbdggxr7u@jpeg)

We know how and have tech, so we'll categorically be seeing more like #3i/ATLAS
We ought to broaden the public's understanding by classifying the first three interstellar objects we've seen
1. #Oumuamua an asteroid
2. #Borisov a comet
3. Atlas, arrived a planetoid but left a comet: cryo-vulcanism

#3i/ATLAS arrived as a planetoid,
a MASSIVE mostly metallic mineral object tumbling, spinning, hurtling through space
at an angle/speed NASA's Larry Denneau understood would be near us on July 1st
It leaves, a comet, because of cryo-vulcanism - chemistry caused by the rays and gravity of our sun

planetoid
Anomalous activity, material composition, radiation (chemical and radiation) separates it from a comet.
Planetoid encompasses the notion of the "planet" part being burned off so it leaves more like a comet.

Anton Petrov 's excellent math/science channel has a v. good update summarizing recent data and scientific papers re #3i/ATLAS.
He details the paper on cryo-vulcanism, and, in his usual thorough manner, notes the detail of the astronomer at ATLAS who first identified it.

It's all explosions and dust. Lava comes from hotspot vulcanism, like Hawai'i. So when the narrator intoned "Los Angeles, where anything can happen" I said, loudly, "except this!"
People laughed.

A trailer for a movie about volcanic eruptions in Los Angeles. Lots of beautiful people running from rivers of lava, which is utterly absurd. Los Angeles is on a subduction zone, and subduction zone vulcanism produces basically no lava.
Midnight Rocky Horror in Paris where everybody was hollering shit in colloquial French. Was like hearing new folk music in the wild
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen at the Somerville; 2 other people in attendance. Mostly watched in silence except at the end when one of em blew a loud ass raspberry

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

Really enjoyed Festival of 9 Lessons & Carols last night, Robin Ince's annual fundraiser of science & comedy. It's on again tonight with another great line-up of comedians & scientists. Stewart Lee's take was hilarious, plus I learned far more about alpacas & vulcanism than I thought I needed.

I'm effectively barred anyway due to age related insurance costs. Sadly these also apply in Canada and I miss going there. However the other American continent is there and you don't get jet lag.

Of course should 3IATLAS gravity trigger catastrophic earthquakes and vulcanism during its closest pass to earth, wiping us out, feel free to say I was an idiot. Because then it is intelligent design and a reboot of an experiment (us) gone really wrong.

Climate change does that, and then vulcanism also impacts climate, so you know...that's fun.

"Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations"
Belief that the universe's beauty, meaning, and progress come from the union of unlike elements, celebrating differences rather than fearing them, a concept central to Vulcan identity and Star Trek's enduring message.
