the real question is, are they too dumb, or am I too smart? maybe both :). incapacity to appreciate and evaluate risks... and worst to apply what is learned from the event...
example dubai nuke plants can go belly up, but it's not too bad, in the sense the great kingdom of ksa is vast and their won't be much rain / drift etc... we hope :)
with dna / synthetic rna / syntetic dna, it's play with fire... in the sense that nuke plants don't seek to reproduce themselves, they just blow, contaminate and follow basic physics law...
dna /synthetic rna / etc computed life, who the fuck knows what is going on? no one... not even the AI... it's the lifestyle.. could be aliens injecting sub codes inside dna generating machines for all I know... there is no way. outside of god kingdom.
you think dna / rna /sdna / srna are part of the creation? you know the apple of "knowledge" / the "snake"... yeah yeah you know it all you have a phd... go die.
there is no war phd. only survivors :).
RE: What is the death rate necessary for mankind to wake up about genetic engineering? apparently 0.01% isn't enough... maybe 10% among children?
