what turns a developing into a developed nation is not the amount of foreign aid it attracts, but how the money is spent.

Disruption is treated as an event, and it is a constant and that is the interesting sort of fallacy. As humans we want this state of consistency but if we are taking it as a hypothesis, we are constantly being disrupted, constantly changing and the groundwork we are standing on is shifting all the time.

Many people assume that they understand what stress truly is. Yet, I believe our collective definition might be somewhat misguided. Hans Selye, often regarded as the pioneer in stress research, characterized it as the body's non-specific response to any demand. Rather than categorizing stress as either good or bad, we should understand it as the body's reaction to any non-specific challenge.

We try to make decisions through a kind of committee-based approach around what species we're going to bring back, where we're going to invest our dollars, and what fits our core ethos. If it's not going to be beneficial to humans, if we can't do it at arm's length from humans, and if we can't do it in a way that's good for animals, then we just don't touch it.
