The Text:

This week’s text is the Third Iteration and Jurassic Park, spanning from pages 81 – 87.

“Details emerge more clearly as the fractal curve is re-drawn” (p. 81).

Synopsis

After observing the Apatosaurus, they head towards the Safari Lodge, and Sattler becomes concerned that perhaps the designers at Jurassic Park haven’t been as careful as they should have been. They head to their rooms and get ready to take the tour. 

Discussions surround:

Regis is a liar … or maybe just wrong (all the time), Paleobotany, Cloning dinosaurs, Paradigm shifts, The Iterations, dinosaurs, feminism, the timeline, Alcatraz, John Ostrom and Robert Bakker at Yale, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, foreshadowing, Responsibility and Safety, Heroes and Villains, serenna veriformans, and more!
