Don't mess with wild horses.

Looking at the job we did with horses makes the GMO boogeymanning lose most of its heft.

There's a big difference between cross-breeding, and flipping switches to see what happens.

There's a big difference between neolithic peoples turning something the size of a large dog into the workhorse of nations around the world for centuries with nothing at their disposal that we would today recognize as science, and the efforts of modern day science.

but pisspuss think's it's just flipping switches willy nilly because he knows fuck all about it.

Ummm... ok. Actually, I know more than you might think. But carry on.

[Okeefenokee]

you described a multi billion dollar industry as flipping switches to see what happens.

you know jack shit.

That's pretty much how it happens, yeah. Snip some new code in here or there, and see what comes out. If you think that a 10-year old field of research should be trusted with your food supply, then great. But don't pretend that they have the slightest idea what they're actually doing, or what will happen when a disease wipes out their super cool new 20-lb apples.

There's a whole mother level of complexity to DNA, involving protein compounds that determine the actual cells that are created. To put it simply, we have the assembly language figured out, but no concept of the OS, how the hardware works, or what happens when we throw it up on the internet (release it into the wild)

yep, those billionaires are just a bunch of college frat boys throwing shit at the wall, seeing what sticks.



this is why grumps thinks that their money should be his, and how he simultaneously comforts himself for it not being his. just tell yourself that no one knows what they're doing. it's all a scratchoff.
