I am not against GMO's.

Population is not exponentially growing. Many nations are reproducing below the replacement rate and dependent on immigration for young labor. The demographic transition has occurred or is occurring almost universally.

Good and evil are social constructs. Humans are not capable of destroying the entire biosphere. It is possible that we can make earth uninhabitable for most or all of us. If we do that, we don't deserve to exist. It won't be evil. It will be balance. Life will go on without us.

You seem to think the human race should keep breeding itself into extinction. I do not.

We have a large population of what I call "The immortal Vermin". The part of society who has nothing to offer the species. Their only talent is to spread their DNA and leech off the rest of the population who actually contribute to society. They are in every race and every class of people.

It is simply irresponsible to suggest that the current exponential growth of the human population is anything but detrimental to not only our existence, but the existence of most of the species on this planet. The human race and the planet would be better off if 2/3 of the population were culled.


You know I am right.

Why not be the first to eradicate yourself from this ever-bredding, ever-miserable world? You can start the show. Don't worry, we will follow in your footsteps.

I agree with Alawin on that one. This is for once a good post by HBB. I am very sceptical about the use and changing/restructuring of dna. There is a lot of ethics involved for one , plus any information that is learned/found out about over time , will always make its way into the "bad-guys" hands.

We cannot even imagine all of the possibilities of what could happen by altering and restructuring dna to try to make us more "devine and perfect"

That Link you posted about Mansanto is a good read. I would say most don't have a clue what goes on in the day to day of what they eat and ingest.

The United States wastes more than enough food each year to stop world hunger, the problem isn't about there being enough food, it's about distribution and control of the food. The problem isn't with "Genetic Modification" as a science.

However what they are doing is just randomly jamming in the modified DNA where ever the fuck they want basically rolling the dice and seeing the results on us, human guinea pigs. Could they do amazing things with genetic modification,if pointed in the other direction, of course. Will they do that though? It's highly un-likely.

I mean look at cars for example, we can easily run a fuckin' car powered off hydrogen extracted from water at an extremely low cost. Will they do that? OF COURSE NOT, it doesn't translate into massive piles of plati....errr dollars. The same thing could be said about energy in general, the research and science is there, but what do those at the top do?? They keep us fuckin' strapped to petroleum/coal/nuclear so they can reap trillions of dollars in profit. OR look at what was done with Tesla, he wanted to give free wireless energy to everyone, what happened, he was bankrupted and his research facility burnt and his work stolen so those who had a play in the energy field could supress that knowledge and reap billions off it. The same thing is being done with genetic modification to our food. They are using it to make trillions / control the food supply / keep us down and sick / They are not using it for the good of mankind, like most technological advances as of late. Instead they give us Ipad95. ALL HAIL IPAD95.

It's the monolithic ruthless"Elite" who has the control of where this technology/academics of the technology goes and has for a long time. It does not look good in the least if we continue on this path letting them control the channels of technology and science, healthcare etc.... History keeps repeating itself, time and time again these "Elite" suppress the amazing potential of these technologies and have for YEARS AND YEARS. Again, if placed in the right hands or pushed down the right path all of these things Energy/DNA manipulation/AI/ etc all could propel humanity beyond anyone's wildest imagination.

reapin either substandard troll or truly cringeworthy

Its a mixture of both. Guy definitely has an extra chromosome though.

QFT

The idea that massive overpopulation is simply a myth.

Biologists have given us a great gift by unlocking the power of DNA. YES we must be careful as fuck with that power, but IMHO, we should also use it if it is needed. Genetically modified organisms have every bit of potential people say they have, and so much more that they don't even talk about.

You think there is a coincidence that most of the world's food is produced in the USA and Canada? Are GMO's any more revolutionary than, say, crop rotation was when it was introduced?
