'''Biodiversity''' or '''biological diversity''' is what conservation efforts seek to preserve:  the existing evolved complexity of the natural real world.
'''Biodiversity''' or '''biological diversity''' is what conservation efforts seek to preserve:  the existing evolved complexity of the natural real world. One definition of [[ecological wisdom]] is "what tends to preserve biodiversity."


''See [[w:biodiversity]] and the many wise writings of [[English Wikipedia User Anthere]] - probably the only holdout against [[Wikimedia corruption]] of the [[GFDL corpus]].  See [[urban ecology]], [[cultural diversity]] and [[respect for diversity]] for some implications of a biodiversity-preserving world view.''

The [[world tree]] is an ancient symbol of this diversity, being tended and attended by many creatures, none of whom has any control or disposition of it, but all of whom interact with it.  Anywhere you look [[some body]] is engaged with the world tree.  [[Trolls]] attend the invisible roots of the world tree.
The [[world tree]] is an ancient symbol of this diversity, being tended and attended by many creatures, none of whom has any [[control]] or disposition of it, but all of whom interact with it.  Anywhere you look [[some body]] is engaged with the world tree.  [[Trolls]] attend the invisible roots of the world tree. The [[New Troll point of view]] is welcomed as bringing new perspectives from the real world, to refresh those of the current attendants, e.g. currently [[Lowest Troll]].  ''[[Faction]]s are a way of reflecting this psychological diversity which in turn arises from the biological diversity.''


The [[Hive Mind]] is a modern symbol of ant-like '''monoculture''', opposing such diversity, imposing one [[God's Eye View]] on all participating bodies - even if the "Mind" itself is an attribute of [[no body]].  [[Sysop]]s are nobodies who seek to become somebodies by worshipping [[groupthink]] itself.
''In contrast, the '''Hive Mind''' is a modern symbol of bee- or ant-like '''monoculture''', opposing any such diversity, imposing one [[God's Eye View]] on all participating bodies.  Since it does not control the whole world, the "Mind" itself is an attribute of [[no body]].  [[Sysop]]s, nobodies who seek to become somebodies by worshipping [[groupthink]] itself, form this body-less '''Mind''' via their [[false community]].  The [[Sysop Vandal point of view]] is a product of this [[vile mailing list|vile]] corruption.  See [[echo chamber]] for the specific conditions that produce a Hive Mind.''
