Evolution of the Brain?

Just because YOU don't understand genetics, doesn't mean others don't.

Yes, we do know enough to practice GM.

Tell me how you understand genetics... simply.

Oh I'm concerned too, just not ballistic about GM. It's not a inherently bad technique, it's just been generally unproductive and/or more ecologically damaging as compared to other techniques, so far. In short, I see GM as potentially useful but its present value as wildly exagerated by proponents. It's a bit like AI: more noise than goods yet.

The irony is: you can't have much sense of what we don't know until you study hard what we know... It's tough but that's how it is.

For instance, "we don't understand 98% of the genome" is a meaningless statement, or at the very least misleading. We just don't agree yet among scientists on what the function of seemingly codeless DNA could be... Plenty of theories around: role in regulation of protein-coding parts, role as metadata, role as protectors of coding bits, or even no role, just "empty pages".

Glyphosate and GM are different things.

Don't you worry about "all organic health". Life can deal with a lot of ****, been at it for 3 billions years already. In the grand scheme of things, and taking into account mankind's TOTAL impact on the environment (of which glyphosate's impact is a tiny tiny part), we are "only" dealing nature the fifth mass extinction event. Life as a whole has already survived (evolved beyond) four of those, much before man. It will survive whatever we do. WE as a species may not survive our own ****, but life will.
