quote:Ogren sees gingko gametes as the far greater threat. Unlike almost every other plant, gingko trees produce motile sperm, capable of swimming in pursuit of germination. Where human sperm each have a single tail, or flagellum, gingko sperm have around a thousand. “Once the pollen gets in your nose, it will germinate and start swimming up there to get to where it’s going,” Ogren says. “It’s pretty invasive.” aaaaaaaaaaah less gigeresque body horror pls

Zil posted:I've always wondered the percentage of people who would have kept the worms? It's an interesting question. There is growing evidence (a lot of it after that episode came out) that the biome of micro-friends who live in our body make a significant contribution to our function, most famously the gutty works but that has spillover effects on other systems including, probably, cognitive. Philosophically weird to think about but are they part of what makes us who we are? And always have been? If so then would you be being false to yourself to keep the worms? One could argue yes because they are a new presence and have changed you on a relatively short timescale, whereas the gut biome is a constant ever-shifting presence. Additionally they appear to be sentient. But one could also argue no, I think, that you are still true to yourself with them, as you are and always have been a being of more than one species. And their sentience perhaps has no bearing, since it is their help to your body that improves you, not their sentient thoughts, which they keep to themselves. I would keep them, i think

You could look at it through the lens of modern medication. It would be like not taking antidepressants and going to therapy because then you wouldn't be depressed, and depressed is who you are. It's your core identity. |

Kierkegaard said that life is a constant quest to leave behind your inferior selves and become the best you that you can be. So expelling depressed worms would be quite a literal version of that that would probably make him lol.

at least, the critic who wrote that as a footnote in the edition of Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt that i have paraphrased Kierkegaard's philosophy of the journey of the self that way in a footnote to the part where the troll king is trying to educate Peer on the trolls' way of life, and who am i to argue with such an authority

Peer Gynt owns btw although it's often said that it's more a piece of literature than a play. Also the incredibly famous suite that Edvard Grieg wrote as a soundtrack to the play, includes such hits as Morgenstemning (cartoon waking up music) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMXK4LAZnDs In the Hall of the Mountain King (cartoon sneaking around or plotting music) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrIYT-MrVaI Åses død https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aKxf1h5r4g
