That would explain their deep appreciation for being close to the Heavens, and why some hate filled hearts want to cut them down

Rudolf Steiner called man an upside plant, while plants have their roots in te ground, sentient beings have them in the heavens.
What about healthy harvesting to prevent fires and other calamities? Beavers may need some help, although my friend Steve doesn’t appreciate them on his property because they are too damn damning everything that keeps the small lake filled and dynamic.

Its my understanding those damn dams can help mitigate forest fires
How dam-building rodents are deployed to prevent megafires | PreventionWeb.
"The reason beaver ponds have such fortitude against wildfire has to do with the hydrology they enact. Beaver dams hold back water and beaver canals spread it out. The weight of the pond presses water into the ground and out over a broad swath of the valley floor, raising the water table and increasing soil moisture. The result: a verdant valley bottom that doesn’t burn.
These green islands constitute fire refugia: patches that either don’t burn, or burn at a low-enough severity that wildlife can hide there while the fire rages, and where these same animals can find food, water and shelter afterward, when the rest of the forest is char black.
[…]
And beaver wetlands can help fight fires as well, serving as “speed bumps” to slow the spread or even function as fire breaks to help firefighters contain lower-intensity burns.

I wonder what Gavin’s thoughts are on dams?

yes, such as introducing deers, cows and horses into the land - this is what happened in Sintra, here in Portugal 
also recently they introduced more bees into the land in several places.

The intelligent coexistence with nature is “The Middle Way” between exploitation and “hands-off.” Same goes for medicine and pretty much everything else!

“In a milestone that brings quantum computing tangibly closer to large-scale practical use, scientists at Oxford University’s Department of Physics have demonstrated the first instance of distributed quantum computing. Using a photonic network interface, they successfully linked two separate quantum processors to form a single, fully connected quantum computer, paving the way to tackling computational challenges previously out of reach. The results have been published” here:

Beloved @fenwizard this video might give you some extra light (perhaps even delight) on this you mentioned on another thread:
in minute 50 this genius shares how nightmares are so important for us to recognize in the moments in our lives when it’s needed, that there is a difference between you and me! the exact spot where Dr. Rahul explains this is near minute 52, but it’s better to listen at minute 50. Well… I would say, better to see the whole of it - it’s worth every second of our precious time. (What I usually do is to listen to these podcasts while I’m driving

Accuracy of Three Commercial Wearable Devices for Sleep Tracking in Healthy Adults
Abstract
Sleep tracking by consumers is becoming increasingly prevalent; yet, few studies have evaluated the accuracy of such devices. We sought to evaluate the accuracy of three devices (Oura Ring Gen3, Fitbit Sense 2, and Apple Watch Series 8) compared to the gold standard sleep assessment (polysomnography (PSG)). Thirty-five participants (aged 20–50 years) without a sleep disorder were enrolled in a single-night inpatient study, during which they wore the Oura Ring, Fitbit, and Apple Watch, and were monitored with PSG. For detecting sleep vs. wake, the sensitivity was ≥95% for all devices. For discriminating between sleep stages, the sensitivity ranged from 50 to 86%, as follows: Oura ring sensitivity 76.0–79.5% and precision 77.0–79.5%; Fitbit sensitivity 61.7–78.0% and precision 72.8–73.2%; and Apple sensitivity 50.5–86.1% and precision 72.7–87.8%. The Oura ring was not different from PSG in terms of wake, light sleep, deep sleep, or REM sleep estimation. The Fitbit overestimated light (18 min; p < 0.001) sleep and underestimated deep (15 min; p < 0.001) sleep. The Apple underestimated the duration of wake (7 min; p < 0.01) and deep (43 min; p < 0.001) sleep and overestimated light (45 min; p < 0.001) sleep. In adults with healthy sleep, all the devices were similar to PSG in the estimation of sleep duration, with the devices also showing moderate to substantial agreement with PSG-derived sleep stages.
