Springer blogpost revised

Today I revised - shortened and simplified - the blog post "Biosemiotics: Making sense of nature", which will appear in Springer´s LifeScienceToday blog.

Post no. 287, 2014

I have now posted more in this blog, Utopian Realism, than any previous year. Until now 2013's 286 posts was the peak. I also posted >200 posts in 2010 and 2011.

Link to 2005 demography chronicle on Arne Næss in conservative commentator's blogpost

In a recent blog post on Minerva Nett, a Norwegian conservative website, published May 20th, political commentator Jan Arild Snoen links to my 2005 chronicle, published in the Norwegian daily Dagbladet, "Europa i overgangsalderen" [literally: Europe in menopause; in Norwegian something akin to "Europe in transition age"] when he writes about Norwegian philosopher Arne Næss' view that a world population of 50-100 million people in the long run might be desirable. His post is entitled "Var nazistene grønne?" [Were the nazis green?].
