⚡️Speaking The Language of Plants Through Narrowband Light

In a world where most food is grown — and even genetically altered — for shelf life instead of nourishment, today’s story brings a breath of fresh air… or rather, fresh light.

Read the full article on Substack.

Symbiotic Systems, founded by Paul Bhola, is changing the game in indoor farming with narrowband LED technology. Unlike traditional white LEDs that focus on intensity, these lights use specific wavelengths that plants actually respond to — speaking a language they understand.

And plants are listening. In a recent study, basil and cannabis grown under these LEDs produced 5x more beta-caryophyllene, a powerful medicinal compound. Each plant responds to different light cues, so this tech can be optimized by wavelength to encourage faster growth, greater resilience, and enhanced nutritional value.

Could light alone help restore nutrition to our food?

Some interesting ideas on how communities could provide for each other without banks.

What Credit Cards Can Teach Us
Simple, ancient protocols for community resilience and global trust


At Grassroots Economics, we work with systems of Commitment Pooling … a protocol for communities to coordinate real resources through shared promises.

Now imagine this: instead of a bank, your community creates a pool of resources.

Each person contributes what they can—labor, care, food, time—and issues a voucher for that promise
These go into a Commitment Pool. Anyone in the group can borrow from the pool and later fulfill their own promise back into the system.

It’s like a credit card, but instead of owing money, you give back in service. The “collateral” is your reputation, and your care.

Rotten and Overpriced: Spanish Airdropped Aid Sparks Outrage in Gaza

Food aid airdropped into Gaza by Spain has reportedly arrived in a rotten state, triggering anger among locals who say even spoiled rations are being resold by merchants at inflated prices — as high as $100 per meal.

Residents describe the aid effort as more of a spectacle than genuine relief. “It’s not enough that the world watches as the Zionists genocide Palestinians and starve them,” one comment read. “When they pull a PR stunt to send 'Aid,' it’s either dropped on tents, killing civilians, or ends up in Israeli-controlled areas.”

For those who do manage to get hold of the rations, they’re often left with food that’s expired, inedible, and outrageously overpriced — deepening frustration in a population already pushed to the brink.

How Social Media Trains Your Brain

At The People’s Reset in Morelia this past January, I explained how social media companies have been learning from one another—refining their systems to keep us hooked. Stories? They're 20-second dopamine loops designed to trigger quick hits of reward.

Then there’s collaborative filtering—the AI engine behind recommendations. It tracks you from your first click, compares your preferences to millions of others, and feeds you what they like too. It's engineered addiction.

A recent leak got my personal email spammed. I realized how important it was so I went deep into email aliases.

James Corbett was nice enough to have me on to chat about how these systems work and how we can better our email etiquette.

We even built our own email aliasing tool for Above Suite, which should be released in the next several weeks.

Check it out:

And give me some love in the comments ❤️

#TBOT 9: Monero Update, EU Age Verification Forces Google, AGPL Not FOSS?, Plastoline Inventor Missing

WATCH THE SHOW ON SUBSTACK

Here’s the stories for the week:

Monero Attack Update: We passed the date of the attack and I think it surprised everyone involved. Now we’re in uncharted territory, a war of attrition. Learn what’s going on.

EU Age Verification Forces Google On Its Citizens: The EU just released an open-source age verification app that’s supposed to be private. Only one problem - it forces use of Google services. Developers are pissed. This could impact the future of degoogled phones. Tune in.

AGPL Is Not FOSS - The AGPL license is commonly used in open-source projects, but it imposes a requirement on its users. Is it actually FOSS?

Inventor of Plastoline Missing - 21 year old inventor Julian Brown turned plastic into gasoline, in his backyard. Now he may be in danger. We’ll look into his work and whether we can turn plastic into fuel.

Solution: Get more productive with SuperProductivity

🪄 We aim for our show to be well-researched, well-informed and focused on the most impactful stories all in 20 minutes (ain’t nobody got more time than that)

PLUS - Each story comes with recommendations and there’s one cool tech trick or open-source solution every week.

We’ll be publishing full posts and clips of each of these stories soon.

What Bioinitiative 2012 Revealed About EMFs

In this clip, we discuss the groundbreaking Bioinitiative 2012 Report - a comprehensive review of over 1,800 scientific studies on the health effects of EMF exposure.

Unlike government or industry-backed guidelines, this report was created by independent scientists and health experts, and it highlights serious biological risks from even low levels of radiation—impacting sleep, fertility, DNA, and brain function.

It’s one of the most important documents for understanding why our current safety standards are not enough.

⚡️Update on the Monero Attack

Its been about a week since Qubic started its attack on Monero, which would begin on August 2nd. Although the attack failed to gain its 51% attack over Monero, they've decided to mine Monero regularly.

The attack began with some drama —Qubic claimed their network was hit by a DDoS, slowing the start, although no one has confirmed any evidence of a DDOS attack.

They mined 20% of Monero’s blocks in 24 hours. If you choose to believe it, Qubic’s data shows an all-time-high hashrate of 2.6 GH/s, holding it for ~12 hours—about 35–45% of Monero’s total hashrate.

Monero Research Lab’s Rucknium released a tool to visualize “orphaned blocks”—blocks mined almost at the same time, forcing the network to choose a chain.

If you care about Monero’s future, mine with Gupax—it’s never been easier.

⚡️EU Breaks Its Own Law, Forcing Use of Google for Age Verification

The EU just took a major step forward in their Digital ID program with an age verification app now being tested in 5 countries.

It’s pitched as a “private” way to verify your age — but here’s the catch: it recommends Google attestation, meaning it won’t work on alternative or de-Googled phones.

By enforcing this, the app will only run on Google-approved devices, even though this method is less secure. This could force everyone in the EU to use Big Tech phones when using apps tied to the system.

How did the EU respond to backlash — and what does this mean for the future of de-Googled devices in the EU?
