    Nom.
    Naming.
    It often stifles all genuine curiosity, yet it is mere naming. Not meaning. As if the names afforded to ‘discoveries’ confer glory of s/he who names it.

    Diversity is amplified and lied about, all to serve to confuse and retain ‘authority’. This engenders hierarchy.

    Lyellism has spawned many ugly children. Much fakery about time passing evolution diverging and places being separate for millions of years.

    All blasted apart by the Wallace Line! The expansion of the Earth and separation of continents happened centuries ago. The flora and fauna of the ””Australasian”” ‘plate’ have not had time to swim a few kilometres to the Aisan plate that it abuts. Simple. But it also raises so many questions. Why marsuapials nearly all in one place? Oe or two exist elsewhere. Certain radiation sources hit the Earth.

    I always thought that the name Mahogany applied to a European species, with only some remnant remains. But then my interest was only as a DIY carpenter. I may also have a reworked sample obtained from a salvaged furniture top. It has excellent grain far better that the African ‘mahogany’ (sapele)

    Re putting the cart before the horse may have had its reason. The brain that leads chooses the track for the cart. Just saying, out of experience (of several such mishaps).
