The same is true around the world, on other beaches where off-shore oil drilling occurs, say scientists, although Santa Barbara's oil seeps are thought to be among the leakiest.

Natural seepage of hydrocarbons from the ocean floor in the northern Santa Barbara Channel has been significantly reduced by oil production, according to two recently published peer-reviewed articles, one in November's Geology Magazine, the other in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Oceans...
About 20 years ago there was a bunch of oil found I an stream near SB.
They hit the panic alarm.
Called out the EPA, fish and game, coast guard, all sorts of enviro clean up crews.
you name it.

A local professor showed up and told them it was natural seepage they instantly his the brakes and told the clean up crews to stop, they didn't want to screw up what is natural

People were just as stupid, but they didn't blame their stupidity on others and didn't litigate to justify their stupidity.

The entropic brain: a theory of conscious states informed by neuroimaging research with psychedelic drugs
Frontiers | The entropic brain: a theory of conscious states informed by neuroimaging research with psychedelic drugs | Frontiers in Human Neuroscience

Quote:
Entropy is a dimensionless quantity that is used for measuring uncertainty about the state of a system but it can also imply physical qualities, where high entropy is synonymous with high disorder. Entropy is applied here in the context of states of consciousness and their associated neurodynamics, with a particular focus on the psychedelic state. The psychedelic state is considered an exemplar of a primitive or primary state of consciousness that preceded the development of modern, adult, human, normal waking consciousness......................

Based on neuroimaging data with psilocybin, a classic psychedelic drug, it is argued that the defining feature of “primary states” is elevated entropy in certain aspects of brain function, such as the repertoire of functional connectivity motifs that form and fragment across time.

Psilocybin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin

Quote:
Psilocybin[nb 1] (/ˌsɪləˈsaɪbɪn/ sil-ə-sy-bin) is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms, collectively known as psilocybin mushrooms.
