The Coming Authoritarianism.

[HMGovt’s Glorious Return!]

We all know what it means. Pretty mainstream aspirations for about 200,000 years of human history.

Oh certainly that whole image doesn’t reduce down to EM biophysics

 

[mixed_biscuits]

My amateur understanding here is that only EM waves of a high enough frequency, IE exponentially higher than radio waves (and as far as I know commercially utilized bands in general), can damage bio molecular structure. Maybe starting with certain UV waves?

Then again, maybe there is potential for damage at higher scales than molecular, but there I don’t know as well.

Yes, ionizing radiation (including UV) and certain microwave frequencies that affect water, gamma rays of course, and voodoo rays.

Not to mention Ronniek and Reggiek rays

Ah, bioelectromagnetics is the term here. Pretty cool.

I've been reading a little philosophy of biology lately, around the processual model, i.e. there are no things, as such, only processes and flows. When you rearrange your model of organisms to think of them as unified processes rather than collections of "things" sliced in time, there may be EMR effects on these delicate processes that don't show up in discrete objects (which may or may not be affected in lab conditions). What I'm saying is, cells may not be obviously affected by anthropogenic EMR, but their long-term interactions may be.

Honestly I’d be surprised if there were no discernible impact whatsoever, in some ideal situation where we have robust data capture over appropriate timescales to analyze

 

[HMGovt’s Glorious Return!]

To go a step further, if organisms are best understood as dynamic, fizzing, nested loops of energy, then they are the same thing as incident EMR.

 

[Clinamenic]

Even if the impact isn’t directly biophysical, there would still probably be environmental factors to consider which are influenced by, or coincide with, certain local EM conditions.

Also, what’s incident EMR?

All the EMR coming in from every direction, over a lifetime. I wonder how much energy a human body is subject too, over a lifetime? Thinking of a sort of thermodynamics of health and illness.

There was a really cool video I just watched which cited some study on how human chromosomes are effectively antennae which resonate with certain frequencies, but I still don’t quite understand the whole thing about how molecular structure entails certain EM resonance. EG how certain surfaces absorb certain waves in the visible spectrum.

I’d suspect it could be non-trivially associated with lifespan - but I should add a caveat there. Of course there are more serious factors, but maybe if we reach a point where we can avoid all macroscopic physiological injury and disease, the only remaining weathering forces would include incident EM.

 

[Clinamenic]

If the joints/bonds of our architecture is subject to some breadth of constant EM force, I’d imagine that could be a an almost ineluctable determinant of structural degradation of animated matter.

The most pernicious EMR of all carries mainstream media into every eyeball, that's front and center for public mental and physical health.

 

[Clinamenic]

Yeah I’m certainly not gonna defend big media, but it’s also not clear to me that it’s a net negative impact. If anything, any pernicious qualities would seem to emerge in free market and centrally planned conditions alike. IE I’d come to expect private agendas to permeate the aether either way.

The DHA thing that Tea moronically dismisses out of hand, despite it coming from a distinguished professor at his own Alma mater, is fascinating. The eyes and brain are rich in the fatty acid DHA, and have been from hundreds of millions of years across biology. Why? Well it seems DHA permits quantum tunneling at precise frequencies which is essential for visual acuity in the retina, and who knows what inside the brain. Google Professor Crawford dha

What so DHA in the manner of a sieve allows EM waves to pass through it at some probabilistically convenient rate? Or does quantum tunneling mean something else

Yes, nailed it. Photons of specific energies, at specific intensity.
