The two hundred year tree decomposition study really gets you thinking about how radical human life extension would impact how we do things as a society. How would we think differently about the impacts of our decisions? What things might we invest in because we'd be around to see the results? Would the draw of instant gratification feel less compelling? If you were told you are going to live two hundred years and be _compos mentis_ throughout all of it, would you take on twice as many things or focus on getting _really_ good at a few things?

This perspective comes naturally when you learn about ecologically friendly farming methods. The industrial perspective is to just keep dumping tons of artificial chemical fertilizer on the fields.

Seriously I’ve ha this OCD problem before I even understood what I was doing. It really started when I was addicted to understanding how humans eat food and produce waste, it started this chain reaction of me bugging my parents for periodic tables to hang on my wall, school binders etc. eventually leads to seeing the world as elements and chemical reactions really distancing my self from friends being the “weird” kid. But there’s nothing I find more interesting than fallowing the trail of energy throughout space from small to large.
