People who farm rice are more collectivistic than people assigned to farm wheat | Nature from @clive

“In this study, we take advantage of a unique time when the Chinese govt quasi-randomly assigned people to farm rice or wheat in two state farms that are otherwise nearly identical.

The rice farmers show less individualism, more loyalty/nepotism toward a friend over a stranger, and more relational thought style.”

NaturePeople quasi-randomly assigned to farm rice are more collectivistic than people assigned to farm wheat - Nature CommunicationsAccording to the rice theory, the demands of rice farming might make cultures more collectivistic. Here the authors provide evidence in support of this theory by showing that Chinese farmers who were quasi-randomly assigned to farm rice score higher on measures related to collectivism than those assigned to farm wheat.

However, #USA veto at UN Security Council is already the only thing preventing #Palestine from becoming a full member of the #UnitedNations - last time it was considered, #France voted in favor and #UK abstained. press.un.org/en/2024/sc15670.d

Favorite hiking travelogues/memoirs

While compiling this list, I found myself rather shocked to discover that Bill Bryson’s book about the Appalachian Trail was my least favorite book among these completed. He has long been one of my favorite authors, but somehow A Walk in the Woods did not resonate with me as much as the other books in this list.

Nevertheless there are many great hiking adventures out there to read about. the list below includes the Appalachian Trail (2 books), Colorado Trail, Continental Divide Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and the Great Silk Road (3 books). Needless to say, there are many others that I have yet to discover.

If there are such books that you have read and loved, please pass them along. I always enjoy a memorable hiking adventure. Similar lists will be posted over time for published boating, sailing, motor vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle/scooter, train, plane, and mixed travel mode adventures.

Happy trails and Peace!

Start of a long thread on megaliths for #StandingStoneSunday, following our summer holiday adventures in Brittany 🇫🇷 & Cornwall 🇬🇧. Starting with an alignment in Erdeven.
If you like standing stones, I have previous 🧵on Neolithic & Bronze Age sites in Sardinia, from the past two years when I was a visiting prof there (geography not archeology!). I have a long-standing interest in how humans inhabit landscape so I love old & new standing stones, dragging the family along. #Bornées #geography

Untapped New York explores the forgotten islands that surround NYC - nearly thirty named islands that most people, including native New Yorkers, don't even know exist. The article examines eleven islands united by themes of abandonment and obscurity, many once inhabited by individuals or institutions, but now erased from public memory. #UrbanGeography #AbandonedPlaces #NYC #Islands #ForgottenHistory #Geography

Today's Daily Create links to this cool site that allows you to re-center maps on particular countries. You can use different map projections (globe, Mercator, etc.).

It's fun to do the re-centering, but also fun to then drag the map to rotate and watch everything adjust --- esp. on the different map projections.

Does anyone know of a self-hosted tool that creates a heat map of all the places you’ve been? Specifically for walking / running / cycling, like Strava’s feature but fully local. I want to use it to set myself goals to walk all the streets in an area.

If anyone with a #geography undergraduate degree could tell me what they now do for a living, that would be super helpful for my 17 year old nephew, who is floundering a bit trying to decide about University. TIA!
