LivingEnergy and trader-manipulators
I request assistance (advice, reposts, and “likes” on social media) in finding ways to influence the merchant‑manipulators who “shod” an elderly woman.
The Selfish Gene and/or the Selfish Individual? Column in KompyuterraOnline #71
A complex natural phenomenon cannot be described in its full entirety using a single internally consistent language.
Battle of the Titans. Column in ComputerreOnline #70
Evolutionary biology has once again become the arena of loud disputes. No, no, I do not mean attacks on scientific knowledge by those whose faith is linked to the denial of the phenomenon of evolution. Two masters of evolutionary biology …
Roots of Personality. Column in KomputerraOnline #69
«The diagnosis» of contemporary humanity – identification of the self with one's personality. Daily routines, momentary priorities, and key stimuli that trigger habitual reactions obscure the very foundation of our existence.
Example of "high‑moral" nonsense: sticker cells and telegony
You’ll find just about everything online! Examples of “scare stories” that, according to their authors, are meant to push readers toward highly moral behavior. I’m not convinced that the moral level of fools who believe such tales will increase, but …
What governs our behavior? (On the hierarchy of priorities). Column in ComputerreOnline #68
The sets of priorities among different people are very, very similar. If we thoroughly examine the mechanisms governing the conflict between good and evil, we will see the same set of motivations.
Reflex and I. Column in ComputerreOnline #67
Laughter is a transformed expression of aggression that serves to regulate the behavior of individual organisms. And – note! – we can laugh not only at others but also at ourselves.
After Practice in Haidary - Photos of Anything and Everything
I had plenty of photographs of amphibians and birds - enough for two separate pages. Here I will post everything else: a little plants, a little insects, a little mammals (mostly primates).
After Practice in Haidary - Photos of Various Birds
Photographing birds is incredibly difficult. Although they are the most numerous and most conspicuous vertebrates, they move far too quickly!
After Practice in Haidary - Photos of Various Amphibians and Reptiles
During practice I had to photograph both amphibians and reptiles. A number of photographs accumulated, and I tried to collect them on this page.
The fate of growth points in the system of decorative education. Column in ComputerreOnline #66
By managing higher education, the state does not address the tasks important for the whole society. It satisfies the interests of specific groups, primarily officials.
Orientation by Internal Map. Column in KomputerraOnline #65
The models of reality employed by social insects (bees and ants) are designed to govern locomotion, are adaptive, organised with remarkable parsimony, and make use of symbols. And one thing more: they are astonishingly sophisticated.
A Little from the Life of Dragonflies
Here, on the banks of the Siverskyi Donets, dragonflies are among the most conspicuous insects. I have accumulated a number of frames showing how they live, die, and reproduce.
A Little from the Life of Bank Swallows
As part of the UIRS work (student research project) of two second-year students, Olha Chaiuk and Viktoriia Shulik, we photographed and filmed the bank swallow colony on the bank of the Siverskyi Donets. Although the quality of many photographs makes …
June 23-24. Zhovtneve
I am on practice in Haidary. Four years ago, Dima Dedukh took up frogs during such a practice - then a second-year student. He started with morphometrics and then switched (with help from colleagues in St. Petersburg) to studying lampbrush …
Integral model of being. Column in ComputerreOnline #64
The logic of our development can be understood by examining the evolution of reality models in the psyche of highly organized animals. It can be assumed that initially these models simply describe the positions of objects that are important in …
Night Walks around Haidary
Our "frog" group is carrying out experimental frog crossings. For that we need females with spawn. Catching them differs greatly from catching males. The males are now gathering in spawning choruses and filling the area with calls. The females must …
Competition or Control? Column in Computer Online #63
An inquiry into the motives behind attempts to create uniform societies under command economies.
"Species Preservation Instinct"? Column in KomputerraOnline #62
Humans are capable of acting in the interests of humanity, and it seems to us that a wolf is capable of acting for the good of all wolves (wolfdom?), a starling — in the name of starlingdom, and a shark …
Beast-Pegasopher. Column in ComputerreOnline #61
Based on the assumption of evolutionary economy, we reconstruct its pathways using molecular data. And we become convinced of the whimsical, uneconomical course of changes in organismal structure.
