A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Where the wild things are

I don’t know what I think of the idea, but this is the most interesting thing I’ve read in a while. (In other words, it’s not about the election.)

“Re-wilding,” in the words of one of the scientists interviewed, is the “super-colliding superconducting experiment of ecology.”

One response to “Where the wild things are”

  1. Fascinating. I’ve been boring my friends with the same idea for about two years or so. I call it the North American megafauna project.

    Cool fun fact: why are pronghorn antelopes the second fastest land animals in the world? Because they used to have to outrun North America’s cheetahs. Since the extinction of the cheetah, all that speed has just been going to waste. How exciting it will be when the first cheetah catches the first pronghorn in 10,000 years.

    Two-hump camels in the Columbia Basin!
