Im gonna guess he suddenly no longer wishes to 'both sides' that argument

Previously he pointed out that order and freedom both are needed and wishing for both is valid, as is pointing out the issues with both. Now? Both Neans and humans have shown him directly they're dangerous and untrustworthy, and will gladly kill completely uninvolved people if allowed. There was no reason to shoot Noid. The Alters could've accomplished their goal with far less bloodshed.

He's probably moving very, very fast towards the order side of that debate, but with the extra that humanity needs to be chained down too.

So Neans are machines made in a factory, this is how more neans are made and has been established by the series.

How'd that one manage to make a kid?

I don't expect any answers to this or if it makes Gene different from a normal human. This is the weirdest plot point so far tbh,, I don't think it added anything beyond questions that won't be answered.

It'd probably matter more if it made any sense what the ids were or what they did tbh. Apparently you can have your id removed and be fine if you put it back in quickly enough. But then why did those others die right away? Why don't they just put the ids back in their bodies?

I don't think this is inconsistent though. You need to remove the ID plus deal some degree of internal damage for death. Silvia specifically didn't do this, she removed Eden and Rouge's IDs while intending to let them live. Her weapon seems specifically designed for it too, unlike Rouge who forcefully pulls IDs out, Silvia's spear is made to grab them. Still, not having your ID seems to be a death sentence either way, it's just a slower death, the wounded still grows weaker and loses their memories until they're gone if they can't get their ID back soon enough.
