It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
During my Uni they mostly used the three kingdom view, but suggested that there might be some changes coming in due to progress in experimental and conceptual methods. Which included cross species RNA/DNA etc. exchange even from within different kingdoms and that humans/animals also contains a ton of other kingdoms, so for complex life it ought to not be mistaken with "heights of evolution".
However the conviction was that mostly the categorization was useful enough, in many cases even as if.
Yeah, I think it has also a bit to do with the cultures in research places and countries. The gap between the concept (which is for humans) and phylogenetic trees is to be underlined. However I am not informed enough to tell anything more than that and thank you for your comment, it lead to some interesting read ups.
Thanks for your response and sharing your thoughts! I wonder if there will be an intermediary period where several models are used and whichever is most appropriate is picked a la species.
I too think my professors talked about something similar, loki asgard archae things. I found a paper on developments and possible effects on the tree of life. I saw some news a while back about some meaningful progress about asgardarchaeota which I haven't looked into but might be one of the seminal works that ends up changing how we define the tree of life.
What you mentioned is true, the cross-species genetic transfer stuff is super interesting and hard for me to wrap my head around. Makes me think scRNA sequencing might be preferable since there's at least the concentration of the molecule and a time series analysis that can be done which is more straightforward.
