Explained by @nntaleb:
Order and hierarchy (fractal) vs. The Linear and Chaotic.
Enjoying this @WELLcertified webinar today w/ @wef's @alicecharles & @Biomimicry38's Nicole Hagerman Miller. Some great topics being covered relative to #biomimicry, #biophilia, & the #pandemic. Some previous articles I've written related to these topics include... 1/

Another popular form of living gate in central and northern Japan is the "Monkaburi", usually a Japanese Black Pine (黒松). You can grow them from scratch or buy from specialist gardeners.
