Six Hundred Million Breaths
The first inhale, the last exhale, and the enormous unexamined middle. A human being spends nine months underwater and then, in a single violent second, becomes an air-breathing animal. We tend to picture that first breath as a natural unfolding, the lungs simply beginning what they were built to do. The reality is closer to a demolition. Before birth the lungs are not empty. They are filled with fluid secreted by the lung tissue itself, and that fluid has to go somewhere before air can enter. Labor begins clearing it. The surge of adrenaline and noradrenaline that accompanies delivery flips the epithelial cells lining the airways from secreting fluid to absorbing it, and sodium channels in those cells begin pulling the liquid back into the tissue and the bloodstream. The mechanical compression of the chest during a vaginal delivery squeezes out more. Even so, at the moment of birth the newborn faces a set of collapsed, wet sacs whose internal surfaces are stuck together by the surface tension of water, and it must pull them open with nothing but the muscles of its own chest and diaphragm.

Education is the system where humans learn how to think, how to belong, how to interpret reality, and how to become themselves. #Distortion #mechanisms thrive wherever authority, #identity, and meaning are co‑constructed.

The workplace is the primary environment where survival is mediated through tokens (wages, benefits, access, legitimacy). #Distortion #mechanisms thrive wherever survival depends on #compliance, interpretation, and hierarchy.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jpecol/115813250468325824
A very interesting #study on #mechanisms that can prevent #selfinhibition in #clonal #plantgrowth via interconnected modules (#ramets). To circumvent competition between neighboring branches for limited space, plants can utilize #minorobstacles such as stones or debris leading to the necessary spatial #separation. The authors compare this mechanism with obstacles used by humans to enhance #pedestrianflow.

Hackaday: 3D Printed “Book” Demonstrates Mechanical Actions. “A book of mechanical actions is a wondrous thing — mechanically inclined children have lost collective decades pouring over them over the generations. What could possibly be better? Why, if the mechanisms in the book were present, and moved! That’s exactly what [AxelMadeIt] produced for a recent video.”
