He did not reject the idea that positions in space-time could never be completely known but did not want to allow the uncertainty principle to necessitate a seemingly random, non-deterministic mechanism by which the laws of physics operated. Einstein himself was a statistical thinker but disagreed that no more needed to be discovered and clarified

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Ha, so... this guy literally is describing, in a way, evolution. Specifically, genetic engineering: bananas in their modern form exist because humans selectively bred them to be sweet, seedless, and easy to peel. Modern bananas are actually completely incapable of reproduction without human intervention because of breeding out such important traits! That's why there's such a fear of a disease totally wiping out bananas again like they did the Gros Michel. It's fun to pull out for people who are paranoid about GMOs and call them "frankenfoods", when we've been doing genetic engineering on food to make it more convenient for thousands of years.

Not to mention that it's pretty terrible to argue against GMOs and better food propagation when you're not the one starving. That's some 'ugly' right there.

Ruby Red grapefruits, the only grapefruit that people recognize, were made with a literal nuclear gene gun. How is that less scary than something nebulous like "gene editing" or CRISPR?

Don't really care about GMOs but there's something vaguely off about mixing radically different species DNA as opposed to selective breeding of traits.

chitoryu12 posted:What's the negative consequence? There's little real consequences, but unfortunately the science of GMO's are often conflated with the politics of the companies that developed them Most of the people will complain about EULA's being pushed on farmers for seed use, the secrecy behind the production, or the extremely aggressive lobbying efforts instead of actual dangerous outcomes of consuming GMO's. Speaking to my sister and her yoga friends, they want GMO labels because they hate the idea of supporting Monsanto and DuPont, not because they are afraid of frankenfood
