“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J.

This explainer is powerful, making very understandable the link between tail loss and other differences between humans and apes and/or monkeys. And not only is the “genetic clock” consistent with what we know – this hypothesis almost certainly explains other inherited traits which come from similar larger patterns in DNA, and not from smaller base-pair mutations.
And – drum roll – they got (ethically, using mice) confirmation in a lab. Yes. Really.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
mensch
noun
A person of integrity and honor.
Alternative spelling of mentch.
A decent responsible person with admirable characteristics.
Longer explanation from Wikipedia
Mensch or mentsh is a Yiddish word which literally translates to “person”, and figuratively means “a person of integrity and honor”. Jewish American humorist Leo Rosten describes a mentsh as “someone to admire and emulate, someone of noble character. The key to being ‘a real mensch’ is nothing less than character, rectitude, dignity, a sense of what is right, responsible, decorous”. The term is used as a high compliment, implying the rarity and value of that individual’s qualities.
Used in a sentence
Pat Frederick asked for clarification about my referring to somebody’s behavior as having been “top mensch” – and this word of the week is the result.

SO – there is apparently some TikTok BS called “six seven” – which is referred to as “brain rot” (such a mystery that ChiCom TikTok would promote this – such a mystery…..) and here is the explanation.
And now that you saw that (maybe), here is the video that it came from, which I am only including for the hilarious comments.
And if all that was just too much video brain rot, or explained too hiply fast to comprehend, here it is in the slow motion of legacy media.

This is interesting both at the “Steve” level, and at the “Duchess” level. This guy talks about his most important moment of realization in quantum mechanical theory (which resulted in a “new interpretation of quantum mechanics”) and how it happened because of his not doing so well on a test. Another case of not seeing where “bad things” may lead.
Have faith!
This guy is actually surprisingly clear, simple, and easy to understand.
If you find that interesting, there is a much longer video of the whole conversation, but it’s over two hours, so you were warned!
Notice the clickbait headline on the thumbnail. “Quantum theory crumbles?” REALLY? C’mon, Corn Pop! LOL!

From the throats of herons and lost wolves, we learn of a mistake made by the gods. They gave us red-winged birds and vesper sparrows who make songs of leaf-light and flying. The gods thought we’d be so happy— all that fruit, one big garden, our nakedness in sun and water. They never counted on our needing a sound for longing, too. They gave that to the loon, to wild dogs whose teeth throb from the light of the moon; they poured it into the long necks of birds. How could they have known? Where in our bodies would they have moored the slender cry of the crane who calls out that night is closing the sky, taking away the glinted green of the frogs’ moist backs, the dazzle the sun makes of every hair, of every shining wing?
MUSIC!
A “deep house” electronica playlist called “Orectic Mix”……..
Epic orchestral video found by searching on “orectic music”
THE STUFF
SO – for “Action April” we are taking two weeks to study something called the Principle of Least Action.
Here is the second of TWO videos covering the topic.
Not sure I’m buying this, as my colleague, Prof. Suspicious Cat, has questions similar to those mentioned in the video, about the significance and interpretation of the role of the diffraction grating, and its potential behavior in lensing at odd angles.

Word of the New Year:
courage
noun
The state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery.
Pat Frederick and Aubergine had an inspired conversation, and I think they’re both right.
PEACE – STRENGTH – CLARITY – COURAGE
Peace
Strength
Clarity
Courage
and always remember
and even more importantly
THESE qualities are what we need to get past THEIR NEXT JANUARY SIXTH PLOT!!!
MUSIC!
We offer multi-song selections from multiple genres. Take your pick!
Here’s something that wasn’t on your bingo card for the New Year – Indian Christian music!
A little too Eastern? Try Western! Medieval Western! Note the interesting similarities – and differences.
OK – let’s celebrate LAST YEAR – with an BIG WOLF epic / heroic orchestral music mix from 2023!!!
Feeling uninspired? Try some INSPIRATIONAL electronic music that’s used to addict people to VIDEO GAMES.
And if you still feel like partying, and want some energy, here is an interesting genre called “nightcore” – which is basically sped-up music, like we loved when we were kids, playing 33 1/3 rpm vinyl at 45 rpm.

And how can we celebrate a turn of the Gregorian calendar, without a selection of real, live, Gregorian chants, by Spanish monks?
Sorry, but we can only provide a link to this one.
If you can’t do links, here is an alternative – an hour of “Gregorian pop” with a female vocalist!
https://youtu.be/Y6nf7nz58zA
OK – if you’re still looking for something, try an oddball collection of classic country. This is a strange mix, but it’s got its moments, like riding in somebody else’s pickup truck with an 8-track player and an eclectic selection of tapes strewn everywhere.
https://youtu.be/7sXhvCn5Olo
Still feeling the Christmas spirit, but DONE with trees, ornaments, and all that “not about Christ” stuff? How about hours and hours of hymns on piano and cello, with soothing videos of nature in the background?
Sorry boys – the AI-generated “big fiddle” gal only appears on the cover!
OK – time to finish with SIREENS. Real ones. In a STAIRWELL!
We repeat our greetings from Christmas!
A Happy New Year to ALL of you – posters, lurkers, appreciated authors, former posters, beloved guests, wandering journalists, opposition researchers, Deep State(TM) spies, foreign and domestic intelligence, and future historical AIs.

THE NEW YEAR STUFF
How about our very first New Years on The Q Tree, in 2019?
This special NEW YEAR’S DAY 2019 (TUESDAY) open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world. Say what you want, comment on what other people said, comment on people’s comments. Keep it civil. Treehouse rules, but expect lots …
Take a close look at this site’s original tagline! Let’s have a little bit of fun with that stuff!
The fight for TRUTH is spreading to the sane classic liberal left.
I’m a liberal and I became a journalist that almost exclusively covers the “gender-affirming” model of care and the pseudoscience propping it up because of the mainstream media’s failure to objectively and accurately report on it. pic.twitter.com/dTMcQ6kvZh
Check out how she’s fighting – and how the dark side is trying to fight back.
Brilliant takedown in @Quillette of the @splcenter’s ridiculous new report that aimed to “expose” the network I belong to — and the shocking revelation that people who have the same goals of aligning gender medicine with evidence-based principles COMMUNICATE with each other! 😱 pic.twitter.com/6uueuTOWG0

The Yule log, Yule clog, or Christmas block is a specially selected log burnt on a hearth as a winter tradition in regions of Europe, and subsequently North America. The origin of the folk custom is unclear. Like other traditions associated with Yule (such as the Yule boar), the custom may ultimately derive from Proto-Indo-European religion as similar traditions have been recorded in Celtic, Germanic, Baltic and Slavic paganism, among others.
American folklorist Linda Watts provides the following overview of the custom:
The familiar custom of burning the Yule log dates back to earlier solstice celebrations and the tradition of bonfires. The Christmas practice calls for burning a portion of the log each evening until Twelfth Night (January 6). The log is subsequently placed beneath the bed for luck, and particularly for protection from the household threats of lightning and, with some irony, fire. Many have beliefs based on the yule log as it burns, and by counting the sparks and such, they seek to discern their fortunes for the new year and beyond.[1]
Watts notes that the Yule log is one of various “emblem[s] of divine light” that feature in winter holiday customs (other examples include the Yule fire and Yule candle).[1]
Need some Christmas music fast? Here is your one-stop shopping solution!
I don’t know – I need something more “Wheatie” – so check this out!
Have an EPIC Christmas, friends!
Need something more classic? An hour of Christmas piano!
OK – I don’t normally do “ads for musicals featured on MSN”, but this is kinda cool, in a Hollywood way.
Well, now let’s try some more modern stuff just for comparison. Check out some “dub-step” electronica for Christmas!
Let’s recover from that, with a smooth orchestral version of a classic – with some false advertising, as there’s no Bing in sight…..
Time to JUMP THE WOLF – with a bunch of great orchestral and “big choral” Christmas tunes – and a RIDICULOUSLY BIG WOLF!
Finally – what’s Christmas without some DS-approved Hollywood?
OK, we can’t finish with that. Merry Christmas — in Latin!

It’s shocking how well the media propaganda worked. Democrats went from 40% to 70% support for government censorship between 2018 and 2023.
The last five years will be remembered as one of the most successful disinformation and brainwashing efforts in modern history. pic.twitter.com/vbS4P1cWsg
