Always interesting to talk to people with ideas that lack some key piece of background knowledge to succeed. Expertise is valuable.
Example, a friend asked me to collect acorns from our oaks because they are so tall and straight, they wanted to strew them about in their woods “for the next generation”. But, I said, our trees are thus because 100 years ago, everything was cut down. These trees grew up together, and weren’t competing for light with an overstory canopy, waiting for a light gap.

@IcooIey@mastodon.green Sounds like a metaphor for eugenicists in general! But how odd to object to even *trees* having more interesting shapes.
