Title: Advances in artificially made organisms

It turns out that now after progresses in cloning sheep and altering cells, they have actually made a significant organism that can simulate movement, will this lead to new breakthroughs in technology and bio-engineering?

I roughly approximate at the current rate of technology being developed that in the next 20 or even 30 years we will have fully bio-engineered aquatic creatures raised from petri-dishes and simple land creatures co-developed with bio-engineered organs.

Im not a scientist working on it or anything, my estimations are innacurate and based on no factual detail at all.

What do you guys think about it?

I think that in 20-30 years, our technology will consist of "fire" and "sharp rocks".

But seriously, the best way to make organisms is to breed them, not cook them up in a lab.  Sheep make better sheep than a cloning facility, for example.

This. The more you tamper, the weaker it gets, I think. Even selective breeding fucks things up some. Buffalo can handle blizzards, cows die.

That's because cows selectively bred are bred to be better producers, if they really wanted to create a cow which could withstand a blizzard they could but they don't

You can make them stronger with proper management but human interest to get more produce and productive gain even at the expense of making them weaker.

That's part of it, but another part is that a lot of natural selection gets thrown out the window when you have valuable animals.

I knew some people who had a pet coyote once. That skinny little fucker could pull harder on a leash than a dog probably twice his size.

Mankind always strives to completely disarrange the whole food chain and natural order to comply with his wishes.

Be it introducing/eradicating predators and domesticating once noble creatures to servitude/food to create a self contained ecosystem which applies and benfits best to man's wishes and essentially make him feel special and superior by putting him on top.

Animals should be eating us left right and centre because essentially, humans are weak save only thier intellectual capacity.

Look, human's arent all that special, you are disillusioned to the fact we are the best fighters and therefore the most able and best in general, a chimpazee is way stronger, vicious and can throw rocks and use simple tools aswell as co-ordination in attacking and can outrun a human. A primitive ape runs rings around "weaponized" brainy ape.

Imagine a elephant with the stature of a chimpanzee or ape, increase the population of this particular elephant species and brain capacity and eventually they would become a major threat if left un-noticed, by picking up where we left off at modern day forming thier own identity they may even overtake humans and make the same claims on how great they are.

Disadvantaged only by thier low adaptability they would overpower the human race with thier intellect, senses and brute strength.

Unlike other animals, our adaptive trait is technology. When our environment changes, rather than our bodies evolving to adapt (for the most part), it's our technology that does. Nonetheless, our use of technology is an innate part of us as a species.

"Technology" includes clothing, knots, and tools that increase the velocity and range of weapons (slings, et al).

Which still puts us on top of the food chain, as a species.  To posit the entire human race as naked with no tool-making abilities is to posit a complete fantasy.

Disadvantaged only by thier low adaptability they would overpower the human race with thier intellect, senses and brute strength.

Unlike other animals, our adaptive trait is technology. When our environment changes, rather than our bodies evolving to adapt (for the most part), it's our technology that does. Nonetheless, our use of technology is an innate part of us as a species.

Without technology we would still be dirty apes and likely extinct.

Other adaptations- sweat glands and largely hairless bodies. Opposable thumbs. Speech. Instinctual willingness to eat practically anything. Efficient use of calorie intake. The only things that really make us weak is our sense of smell which was sacrificed for... And get this... Increased cranial capacity. Thats right. Our one major weakness is only there to make room for our major strength which allowed us to trick wolves into doing all the smelling for us.

Sadly, no food prep is actually involved.

They take 16 marksmen (markspeople?), show them a weapon (from hand-cranked Gattling guns to 21st century speed pistols to slingshots to cannons), and then they see who's the best shot in various scenarios, targets, on foot or in vehicle, inverted, you name it.  The one who's the worst shot is out.  Eventually, they go to a head-to-head competition that uses most of the weapons from previous challenges.

Head-to-head?  Like they actually shoot at each other?

With that done they are automatically the superior animal despite the fact that biologically in pure nature's terms weaker.

I suspect part of the reason we havent gotten any stray alien signals is because we are the superior species in this part of the *galaxy.* theres no guarantee if the neanderthals survived they would even have advanced past stone axes.

Infact it may be a statement in saying that because humans are weak, we needed to advance and survive.

Neanderthals wouldn't probably get further than stone age technology because they are already perfectly adapted to live in their environment and handle everything in their way.

Time is not a problem for evolution and ingenuity.

Even without any of these aspects they may still demonstrate art, language, music and literature as well as social structures as well as prejudice, hatred and other negative aspects.

Naturally they would find a way to utilize their brainpower to progress, and if they cannot wait to go and do it themselves they wait for evolution to take its course.

I believe in seeing something through to the end, even this pitiful shambles of a thread.

Ok, so.

You spag around and annoy the crap out of everybody and then start up a thread asking for a clean slate. Freeky asks you a legit question about your position, and then you start acting like a moron again. It gets suggested that you're being dumb on purpose, maybe trolling, by a couple of people. You don't help that perception by asking, "well what if I am" and go on to say that you started this thread being retarded so you may as well continue to be retarded in this thread. That's not how that works.

If you want us to take you seriously:
1) Don't troll us
2) Don't willfully ignore valid points for the purposes of stubbornly sticking to a position
3) Don't start acting retarded again when you said you were going to stop

Now, on the chance that you don't get what's being said here, by like, everyone

A) Arguing that humanity would go extinct without advanced intelligence is a pointless speculation, since that is a defining human trait
B) Even if you want to discount that and speculate, intelligence is not our only defining adaption, and not the only thing that kept us from going extinct. It caused us to flourish, no doubt.

Consider. I mentioned early humans instinctually making tools, without thought, without innovation, but out of compulsion. You said something about early humans and monkeys banging rocks about but not really using them as tools. But tool use is a common higher primate trait. They don't think about it. They don't set out to create it. They just make it and use it. Like a chimpanzee eating termites. The chimp just knows to poke a stick in there. Early humans banged rocks together until they made stone axes, and then they used them. These were not terribly imaginative people yet. So, tool making and tool use does not require higher intelligence on the order that we have now.

It does require hands and upper body strength, which again, is common to higher primates. It also requires the ability to walk on two feet, at least for a certain amount of time. Hominids excel at that. Even the dumb ones.

We are extremely well adapted to hot climates. Hominids are actually the best at that. We're able to remain active at temperatures over 100F for the whole day (please to see slavery as proof). It sucks, but it won't kill us. It will kill any other land animal. Even other African species. Way back, it was hotter than it is now. And we would hunt under the noon day sun, when other animals were trying to stay still so that they wouldn't die of exhaustion. Sure we had pointy sticks and those sharp rocks that we banged together, but that was really just overkill. You could just keep scaring your food until it had a heart attack. And other predators will run away from a small band of hairless apes chasing after it unless it no longer has a choice. So your tiger just had a heart attack too. Your dismissal of endurance not being special is stretches credulity. Human endurance is unprecedented. And we're stubborn bastards. This endurance is afforded to us through sweat glands, lack of hair, energy efficiency, and again, bipedalism. None of these things are intelligence.

Binocular and color vision- makes us a superior hunter. While binocular vision is not unique, color vision is rarer.

Omnivorous diet- no gazelle? That's ok. Here's a fruit tree. Or a tarantula.  Whatever. No gazelle= dead lion. No intelligence required.

Scientists think our ancestors almost went extinct 1 million years ago, back when they weren't too smart. They didn't.

They also think that our species specifically came even closer to extinction 70000 ago as a result of natural disaster and climate change. But, hey, here we are, communicating across an ocean with our magic boxes. Maybe intelligence factored into it, maybe it didn't.

Also, there are dumber, weaker primates than us, like actual monkeys. They're doing alright on their own without much intelligence or superior strength.

There are plenty of reasons to shit on our species, but the reasons you give- weakness, inability to survive without intelligence, are most likely false. Intelligence gives us civilization, not survival. Sure, we're weaponized apes. But we're weaponized apes that can kick back and have a beer. A lemur can't but he's still alive.

Also, nothing would ever take our place. Like it or not, we are special. This planet is 5 billion years old and we only emerged in the last several thousand. In all that time evolution couldn't stumble upon us. And Earth is uninhabitable in about a billion years. We're not a repeat fluke. Certainly not whales who seem quite content staying in the water.

If your position is that humans should be dead by nature's terms and yet humans remain alive, you need to acknowledge your error or explain why reality is playing by anything other than "nature's terms". What do you think the terms are if you are not basing them on observation? Do you feel that our technology exists isolated from or in opposition to nature?

His point seems to be that by taking Nature's terms and doing what Nature directed with them, humanity has violated Nature's terms and is therefore inferior to all other animals.

I think that's part of his point though. That if everything were exactly the same but our intelligence, we would not be fit for survival, on the grounds that our bodies are weak. Even though, smaller, less intelligent primates than us seem to be doing well enough as long as we're not in the picture.

Its 11 am here, and Ive been a lazy bugger sleeping in for longer than i usually should, I'm sure i do have potential and i would like to be a more "respectable" member of this community but it will be difficult changing to adapt to a new environment in which shenanigans don't earn you anything.

You keep saying that but there isn't any evidence of it. So shit or get off the pot, boyo.

I'm trying to shit but most of it is getting tangled up in asshairs and is excruciatingly painful.

Yes, finally someone can decipher my mindless babbling behind a real point, thats what i am getting at.

So let me get this straight, a human being is weaker than a tiger so, without the internets and the AK47, we would be extinct, right? Just like the rabbit and the duck and the slug and weasel and...

Well, fuck it then, I'm going to sell my i-Pad to a chimpanzee

Animals should be eating us left right and centre because essentially, humans are weak save only thier intellectual capacity.

Well, that and our innate viciousness, ability to throw rocks, and capacity to run all damn day until the antelope keels over from exhaustion.

We are the weaponized ape, the best hunters and fighters ever born, the only proof of which I need offer is that we have the leisure time to have this conversation.

Look, human's arent all that special, you are disillusioned to the fact we are the best fighters and therefore the most able and best in general, a chimpazee is way stronger, vicious and can throw rocks and use simple tools aswell as co-ordination in attacking and can outrun a human. A primitive ape runs rings around "weaponized" brainy ape.
Simple tools being the operative word. Given sufficient warning a human can beat a chimpanzee as handily as Indiana Jones can win a swordfight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YyBtMxZgQs)

Will it be possible to make a transgenic modification out of all humans and add wings or gills? Also make it compulsory for everybody. Imagine if all humans could have wings, gills or be amphibious. Take the wing, gill or amphibious gene from an albatross, fish or frog/toad and add it into the human genes. There, why do they refuse to try that?

Imagine all humans with wings being able to fly around skyscrapers, even go inside them without taking the bottom entrance. Fly straight to your bank or work and etc.

Well, unfortunately for you, the page finally loaded for me.

There's nothing in there about humans with gills or wings AT ALL, and do you know why that is? BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A GODDAMNED "WINGS" GENE.

Wings are complex structures that take (I'm ballparking here) millions of genes to build, and they're built out of shit you're already using for other things: your goddamned arms. Oh, and if you want them to work that means you need feathers which, protip, are most likely modified teeth genes, so say goodbye to your choppers. Also you weigh too goddamned much, so either you need to be smaller (more changes!) or have hollow bones (mammals haven't had that shit in EVER, so good luck finding a way to make that work). And of course to power the wings you need completely different chest muscles, so just add that to your list of shit you need to change. ON TOP OF THE MILLIONS FOR THE WING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

You want gills too? You know that fancy jaw thing you have? Say goodbye to it. Yeah, fish and amphibians have mouths and gills, but your jaw has all kinds of extra parts they don't and that all comes from modified gill genes.

Genes are like lego instructions. You can swap a couple things out here and there to get different pieces of things you need, but if you start trying to recreate part of a castle inside your star wars set you're going to end up with a mess and not enough pieces to finish anything.


And next time you run your mouth like an idiot, make sure the thing you link to actually backs up your nonsense.

I did not mention the article saying it can be done to humans. I am saying that if they can take gene traits from one species and put it into another, it works and modifies them. Its never been tried on humans for some reason and idk why but on animals. For the gills, wings or amphibian suggestion I just think it would be quite interesting to try to take those traits and experiment on humans in the name of greatness/just to see what happens or how it turns out.

Christ, that banal piece of shit. I think the thing I like least about her, out of all the things to mildly dislike, is that she doesn't know what "neoliberal" means but she insists on using it anyway. Incorrectly. It's kind of amazing that someone can have so many opinions while having so little education.

I think the thing I like least about her, out of all the things to mildly dislike, is that she doesn't know what "neoliberal" means but she insists on using it anyway. Incorrectly. It's kind of amazing that someone can have so many opinions while having so little education.

While you were gone, she resurfaced on TWJ's facebook discordian page, talking about the failure of the free market system.  She then hit me up for "funding" for a "project" she wanted to launch (details hazy, seemed to involve drugs and parties leading to profit).  She was so insistent that I buggered off and trolled TCC for old time's sake.

Apparently, a week later, someone gave her money for drugs, because she was back doing the libertarian thing, and called me a "communist" for suggesting banks don't have our best interest at heart.

:lulz:

So I blocked her and unblocked her, so she wouldn't show up in my feed.

Well, unfortunately for you, the page finally loaded for me.

There's nothing in there about humans with gills or wings AT ALL, and do you know why that is? BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A GODDAMNED "WINGS" GENE.

Wings are complex structures that take (I'm ballparking here) millions of genes to build, and they're built out of shit you're already using for other things: your goddamned arms. Oh, and if you want them to work that means you need feathers which, protip, are most likely modified teeth genes, so say goodbye to your choppers. Also you weigh too goddamned much, so either you need to be smaller (more changes!) or have hollow bones (mammals haven't had that shit in EVER, so good luck finding a way to make that work). And of course to power the wings you need completely different chest muscles, so just add that to your list of shit you need to change. ON TOP OF THE MILLIONS FOR THE WING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

You want gills too? You know that fancy jaw thing you have? Say goodbye to it. Yeah, fish and amphibians have mouths and gills, but your jaw has all kinds of extra parts they don't and that all comes from modified gill genes.

Genes are like lego instructions. You can swap a couple things out here and there to get different pieces of things you need, but if you start trying to recreate part of a castle inside your star wars set you're going to end up with a mess and not enough pieces to finish anything.


And next time you run your mouth like an idiot, make sure the thing you link to actually backs up your nonsense.
I did not mention the article saying it can be done to humans. I am saying that if they can take gene traits from one species and put it into another, it works and modifies them. Its never been tried on humans for some reason and idk why but on animals. For the gills, wings or amphibian suggestion I just think it would be quite interesting to try to take those traits and experiment on humans in the name of greatness/just to see what happens or how it turns out.

BECAUSE YOU WOULD MAKE HORRIBLE STILLBORN MONSTROSITIES.

I'm going to assume you're 18 or 19 because son, you have LITERALLY NO CONCEPT of human suffering.

I'm gonna guess 15 and kinda stupid.
Nope I am 18 and allowing "ethics" or emotions to get in the way of progress is whats really stupid. The progress and greatness matter more. Also what the world needs is LESS order. Animals(like mice or dogs) are more morally innocent than humans as a whole anyway if you look at it from a wider viewpoint. Its better to experiment on criminals that were murderers than on mice who haven't done anything wrong if you see it from a moral viewpoint.

"Order"/Being Reactionary is the problem and the total opposite of the very definition of "solution".

Your pretty reactionary/ultaconservative"(To a 1950s and before degree) yourself for a "discordian"? I only care if something interesting/unusual or a change happens in anything. Change is never "bad" because what is bad can be fixed with another change. Opposition to change is the source of nearly all bad. My mind constantly morphs/warps as well for this reason. The only thing I "feel" from change is very energized and pleasant to a point where I want more and more.

There is no such thing as "too much change" and yes I truly believe in this. So did Maximilien Robiespierre, which points out that this has nothing to do with age. He sowed discord with intent of stopping people who tried to prevent change, initiating a work of discord called "the great terror".

I do and nope. Change is always good, if there is something bad in place it will be fixed by change itself. I only care about the change/progress or anything very unusual/interesting that happens.

The point is to make the world more interesting, whether you get "flying/gilled/amphibious abominations", Fall of "The Veil", Civil War breaking out, North Korea invading South Korea successfully stirring the world up with a screaming over-enthusiastic crazy TV anchor, or WW3. Leave Chaos and progress/change alone and let it fix all problems that arise.

Has nothing to do with age either. You should do some research on Maximilien Robespierre. Someone who did not have a high position but big influence who weaved a big peace of discord called "the great terror" to crush those who wanted to stabilise things and prevent more change from occurring.

Read the edited sentence above without the small typo. And nope, there is NOT enough change/chaos in this world. You are simplistic in that you think order is flawless, we do not need it right now. Why are we in quasi-fascism right now? And you know everything has a counterbalance? Which means after what we have now finishes we will have the complete opposite again and again until things are "balanced" out. I hope to see the day the pendulum of today's long period of non-change/order swing to the total opposite soon, would be great if it happened in a couple of years. Maybe people like trump who is likely to cause an overthrow of himself or is not afraid of starting WW3 will trigger the swing.

And you know what? I was quite entertained/nourished by the "Ukraine crisis" when it occurred. The stir it caused to even where I live, it was quite disappointing they made a ceasefire and the other side didn't launch an attack. Atleast it was a significant change. What really makes me want to puke and this has been my whole life is stagnation and mundanity. Non-change/Order tastes like sewerage. Everytime it exists for a long time it makes me want to tear everything apart and reach for any change. Change is like food, the more deprivation of it the more desperation to come into contact with it.

Btw deities are not picky about their work. You do know as a proclaimed discordian that everytime a war, conflict/shootout, revolution or etc occurs that Eris/Discordia is always present? Its not the side effects of any change that matters but the end result. If people die they die meaningful deaths. Wars or change have lead to advancements, innovation and progress. WW1, one war that occurred with the same reasons today a world war would occur. One tiny dispute leading to a war resulting in many imperial powers that oppressed or tried to expand foreign markets like today being diminished. A revolution and many things occurring despite the negatives. Those who are afraid of change are just cowards who's lives have no meaning.

The only thing I "feel" from change is very energized and pleasant to a point where I want more and more.

There is no such thing as "too much change" and yes I truly believe in this.

You are an incredibly simplistic and naive child.
Has nothing to do with age either. You should do some research on Maximilien Robespierre. Someone who did not have a high position but big influence who weaved a big peace of discord called "the great terror" to crush those who wanted to stabilise things and prevent more change from occurring.

Read the edited sentence above without the small typo. And nope, there is NOT enough change/chaos in this world. You are simplistic in that you think order is flawless, we do not need it right now. Why are we in quasi-fascism right now? And you know everything has a counterbalance? Which means after what we have now finishes we will have the complete opposite again and again until things are "balanced" out. I hope to see the day the pendulum of today's long period of non-change/order swing to the total opposite soon, would be great if it happened in a couple of years. Maybe people like trump who is likely to cause an overthrow of himself or is not afraid of starting WW3 will trigger the swing.

And you know what? I was quite entertained/nourished by the "Ukraine crisis" when it occurred. The stir it caused to even where I live, it was quite disappointing they made a ceasefire and the other side didn't launch an attack. Atleast it was a significant change. What really makes me want to puke and this has been my whole life is stagnation and mundanity. Non-change/Order tastes like sewerage. Everytime it exists for a long time it makes me want to tear everything apart and reach for any change. Change is like food, the more deprivation of it the more desperation to come into contact with it.

Btw deities are not picky about their work. You do know as a proclaimed discordian that everytime a war, conflict/shootout, revolution or etc occurs that Eris/Discordia is always present? Its not the side effects of any change that matters but the end result. If people die they die meaningful deaths. Wars or change have lead to advancements, innovation and progress. WW1, one war that occurred with the same reasons today a world war would occur. One tiny dispute leading to a war resulting in many imperial powers that oppressed or tried to expand foreign markets like today being diminished. A revolution and many things occurring despite the negatives. Those who are afraid of change are just cowards who's lives have no meaning.

tl;dr

Go read about Maximilien Robispierre and "The Great Terror"(Terrorism as a unofficial policy) he implemented to prolong the change/chaos on purpose and to wipe the french revolution clean of people who believed in order/stability.

Well, unfortunately for you, the page finally loaded for me.

There's nothing in there about humans with gills or wings AT ALL, and do you know why that is? BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A GODDAMNED "WINGS" GENE.

Wings are complex structures that take (I'm ballparking here) millions of genes to build, and they're built out of shit you're already using for other things: your goddamned arms. Oh, and if you want them to work that means you need feathers which, protip, are most likely modified teeth genes, so say goodbye to your choppers. Also you weigh too goddamned much, so either you need to be smaller (more changes!) or have hollow bones (mammals haven't had that shit in EVER, so good luck finding a way to make that work). And of course to power the wings you need completely different chest muscles, so just add that to your list of shit you need to change. ON TOP OF THE MILLIONS FOR THE WING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

You want gills too? You know that fancy jaw thing you have? Say goodbye to it. Yeah, fish and amphibians have mouths and gills, but your jaw has all kinds of extra parts they don't and that all comes from modified gill genes.

Genes are like lego instructions. You can swap a couple things out here and there to get different pieces of things you need, but if you start trying to recreate part of a castle inside your star wars set you're going to end up with a mess and not enough pieces to finish anything.


And next time you run your mouth like an idiot, make sure the thing you link to actually backs up your nonsense.
I did not mention the article saying it can be done to humans. I am saying that if they can take gene traits from one species and put it into another, it works and modifies them. Its never been tried on humans for some reason and idk why but on animals. For the gills, wings or amphibian suggestion I just think it would be quite interesting to try to take those traits and experiment on humans in the name of greatness/just to see what happens or how it turns out.

BECAUSE YOU WOULD MAKE HORRIBLE STILLBORN MONSTROSITIES.

I'm going to assume you're 18 or 19 because son, you have LITERALLY NO CONCEPT of human suffering.

I'm gonna guess 15 and kinda stupid.
Nope I am 18 and I allowing "ethics" or emotions to get in the way of progress is whats really stupid.

:lulz: :lulz: :lulz: I hope you reread this post in five years, just so you can cringe until you puke.

Quote
The progress and greatness matter more. Also what the world needs is LESS order. Animals(like mice or dogs) are more morally innocent than humans as a whole anyway if you look at it from a wider viewpoint. Its better to experiment on criminals that were murderers than on mice who haven't done anything wrong if you see it from a moral viewpoint.

"Order"/Being Reactionary is the problem and the total opposite of the very definition of "solution".

You are a sociopath and should seek treatment.

Please note that there's nothing "edgy" about being a sociopath.  It means that you are mentally and emotionally stunted.  A defective biot, and not in a revolutionary way.  You are to the species what Fiats are to sports cars.

This. Lacking empathy doesn't mean you're a superior person or a better thinker, it means that you are missing one of the major evolutionary strategies that has permitted our species to thrive. Empathy is an important component of decision-making and people who lack it tend to not only treat others poorly, but to fare poorly themselves. They are more likely to end up impoverished, imprisoned, and in poor health. While they often manage to reproduce, in many cases repeatedly, their offspring have high mortality rates and are often also afflicted with the same condition.

It's one of those accidental mutations like cystic fibrosis that isn't lethal enough to just die out, so it just sort of lingers around making people gross and miserable.

Also, in the post-civilization environment about which he fantasizes, everyone else will kill off the more obvious sociopaths as a matter of sheer self-preservation.  Mostly because the VERY first thing people do when shit falls apart is start putting it back together again. 

When the Roman empire fell apart, society became MORE oppressive, because there wasn't any other choice.  In England, for example, the raging mobs of Saxons forced the Britons to accept a level of power in their kings that would never have been previously tolerated.  Same thing when the Vikings showed up.  By the 8th century, absolute monarchy was firmly established, and 99% of the population was stuck doing whatever the fuck they were told to do, and actually belonged to the land which belonged to their local feudal overlord.

Contrast this with Roman society, in which your average citizen/resident could do anything he wanted, provided he didn't conspire against the government.  Slaves were a different story, of course, but were a world-wide reality at that point in history (Also, what happened to Britain in 450CE forward made Roman slavery look like a walk in the park).

It's more of a parasitism thing; as well as an adaptation to said parasitism. If there are a lot of generous helpful people about, there is a material advantage to one who is willing to take advantage of and exploit such generousity (and the advantage only works though if most of the surrounding people are of the decent type; a real life Galt's Gulch would never work). The chances of being exploited can in turn be minimized either through vigilance, and/or by minimizing the gain to be had from such exploitation, either by being less generous or by cancelling gains out with revenge.

I don't expect people to get those two concepts right out of the gate.  Hell, there are some Discordians that never understood it.  Charley comes to mind, as do some of the more basically rotten people who infested this dump in the early days.  And of course hilarious old Prince Tao Jones.

But having someone show up lecturing things that are clearly foreign to him makes me think of Donald Trump or William Jennings Bryan.

Nope I can feel for others but I can also feel the greater good that comes at the end. France because of the French Revolution has an anti-authority culture where people spit on the authorities all the time and have barely any respect for them. They are very riot/protest and strike-happy because of the French Revolution and allow none to dictate their lives. I do not want to live in an Orwellian 1984.

I would rather Somalia than Oceania in 1984 or a corporate-fascist state if made to choose. I care about my freedoms, you do not. What we have here is already fucking horrible, read this: http://theaimn.com/the-slide-away-from-democracy/

And if you care about people you should know they technically have concentration camps for refugees, declassifying the conditions will get you sent straight to prison. Oppression does not end on its own, you need change.

The conspiretardedness is strong in this one. Fact is my city has the most concentrated population in my country if you find any IP "similarities". And funny how you claim to be "Discordian/Erisian" when you are so afraid of radical/unusual change. You should know deities are not picky about their work. She is there when there is a war, she is there when a bloody revolution occurs and she is there in every single conflict. Known for causing destruction in the past or wars with high death tolls like the Trojan war or even WW1. Are you calling her sociopathic as well then?

You need to embrace the more unpleasant parts too and step outside of your comfort zone instead of selfishly cherry-picking what makes you feel good. Something good and lucky can happen but something suddenly bad can also happen to you, accept that fact. Fact is one of the refounders was involved in the assassination of Kennedy and he did it partly to prolong the war(Sow Discord). Why is that?

Also there is actually too much order. In seriousness explain why people no longer care about their freedoms despite the government becoming ever more corrupt and tyrannical?

You are a sociopath and should seek treatment.

Please note that there's nothing "edgy" about being a sociopath.  It means that you are mentally and emotionally stunted.  A defective biot, and not in a revolutionary way.  You are to the species what Fiats are to sports cars.

This. Lacking empathy doesn't mean you're a superior person or a better thinker, it means that you are missing one of the major evolutionary strategies that has permitted our species to thrive. Empathy is an important component of decision-making and people who lack it tend to not only treat others poorly, but to fare poorly themselves. They are more likely to end up impoverished, imprisoned, and in poor health. While they often manage to reproduce, in many cases repeatedly, their offspring have high mortality rates and are often also afflicted with the same condition.

It's one of those accidental mutations like cystic fibrosis that isn't lethal enough to just die out, so it just sort of lingers around making people gross and miserable.

It's more of a parasitism thing; as well as an adaptation to said parasitism. If there are a lot of generous helpful people about, there is a material advantage to one who is willing to take advantage of and exploit such generousity (and the advantage only works though if most of the surrounding people are of the decent type; a real life Galt's Gulch would never work). The chances of being exploited can in turn be minimized either through vigilance, and/or by minimizing the gain to be had from such exploitation, either by being less generous or by cancelling gains out with revenge.

Thanks for the peanut gallery view, but there is actually a rather large body of research on the topic so we don't really need the armchair perspective at this time.

Well the last part about retaliation was based on Robert Axelrod's studies regarding the iterated prisoner's dilemma, in which a tit for tat strategy was found to be the most successful basic strategy.

Yes definitely. Especially with the fact if this current declining/going downhill system does not go it will turn into something far worse than the side effects of a revolution or war. Read the two edited replies.

Well I'm just speaking the hard-reality/cold truth. Even though I realise she can be destructive and lead to many deaths in doing so. I still follow because it was still necessary to restore the balance in all situations. Every situation needed a different amount of change put in, the more stagnation the more needed. Bringing people out of their daily routines and moving them forward.

With Chaos both positives and negatives come, you have to be prepared to deal with any negatives and be well prepared. The Internet would not have been possible today if it were not for the development of radar technology due to WW1 and WW2.

And ironic how you don't call the masses of people who do not care about neither their own or others' freedoms "sociopathic" and rise up to fight for their freedom because of selfish material interests and self-preservation. These are the people worthy of being called sociopaths. These are the people who are really disgusting.

Why not spit on those who try to take away an inch of their freedoms like the people in France who are known for being protest/riot and strike-happy to a point where they control the authority? Fuck the police.

Call me "sociopathic" when I am willing to go on a hunger strike at the right time in protest against the oppression of all.

And I don't give a shit if nobody gives a shit? I don't have to follow everybody else, and plus people will start to when they start to find it difficult to get food and shelter anyway. Difference is I support quick/violent change/chaos because waiting takes too long, and it is more effective. You questioned "why I support Discordia?". I support her discord and conflict aspects included.

And plus if people "don't give a shit" it's even better because it means there is nobody there to hinder you physically or emotionally/psychologically and you can do stuff without them noticing. Just like with the current government now who are chipping away people's freedom silently, because not enough people "give a shit" they have total freedom to do what they want without being stopped/hindered. I am trying to learn how to influence fate/events and study human reactions when being exposed to certain conditions from an analytical/logical perspective. Controlling/Tampering with or swaying fate/event occurrence is like chemistry, you need certain components + certain conditions(which is like temperature) for each event and one important one being stealth. It must be done also influencing events as indirectly as possible with a big chain of subtle influence starting from you.

Well, unfortunately for you, the page finally loaded for me.

There's nothing in there about humans with gills or wings AT ALL, and do you know why that is? BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A GODDAMNED "WINGS" GENE.

Wings are complex structures that take (I'm ballparking here) millions of genes to build, and they're built out of shit you're already using for other things: your goddamned arms. Oh, and if you want them to work that means you need feathers which, protip, are most likely modified teeth genes, so say goodbye to your choppers. Also you weigh too goddamned much, so either you need to be smaller (more changes!) or have hollow bones (mammals haven't had that shit in EVER, so good luck finding a way to make that work). And of course to power the wings you need completely different chest muscles, so just add that to your list of shit you need to change. ON TOP OF THE MILLIONS FOR THE WING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

You want gills too? You know that fancy jaw thing you have? Say goodbye to it. Yeah, fish and amphibians have mouths and gills, but your jaw has all kinds of extra parts they don't and that all comes from modified gill genes.

Genes are like lego instructions. You can swap a couple things out here and there to get different pieces of things you need, but if you start trying to recreate part of a castle inside your star wars set you're going to end up with a mess and not enough pieces to finish anything.


And next time you run your mouth like an idiot, make sure the thing you link to actually backs up your nonsense.
I did not mention the article saying it can be done to humans. I am saying that if they can take gene traits from one species and put it into another, it works and modifies them. Its never been tried on humans for some reason and idk why but on animals. For the gills, wings or amphibian suggestion I just think it would be quite interesting to try to take those traits and experiment on humans in the name of greatness/just to see what happens or how it turns out.

BECAUSE YOU WOULD MAKE HORRIBLE STILLBORN MONSTROSITIES.

I'm going to assume you're 18 or 19 because son, you have LITERALLY NO CONCEPT of human suffering.

I'm gonna guess 15 and kinda stupid.
Nope I am 18 and allowing "ethics" or emotions to get in the way of progress is whats really stupid. The progress and greatness matter more. Also what the world needs is LESS order. Animals(like mice or dogs) are more morally innocent than humans as a whole anyway if you look at it from a wider viewpoint. Its better to experiment on criminals that were murderers than on mice who haven't done anything wrong if you see it from a moral viewpoint.

"Order"/Being Reactionary is the problem and the total opposite of the very definition of "solution".

Your pretty reactionary/ultaconservative"(To a 1950s and before degree) yourself for a "discordian"? I only care if something interesting/unusual or a change happens in anything. Change is never "bad" because what is bad can be fixed with another change. Opposition to change is the source of nearly all bad. My mind constantly morphs/warps as well for this reason. The only thing I "feel" from change is very energized and pleasant to a point where I want more and more.

There is no such thing as "too much change" and yes I truly believe in this. So did Maximilien Robiespierre, which points out that this has nothing to do with age. He sowed discord with intent of stopping people who tried to prevent change, initiating a work of discord called "the great terror".

So... ethics are bad, and morals are good.  Got it.

Most importantly, advances in human genetic engineering and access thereto would mean that pink establishment cabbage types would have more access to human genetic engineering. Mainly them, in fact. And I don't want them in charge of humanity's genetic future.

Also, I forsee preemptive genetic modification resulting in the stagnation of conventional medicine.

Without genetic engineering to hold it back I forsee conventional medicine in the far-flung distant future - millenia away - allowing us to transcend humanity, literally. Eventually we will become so deevolved and the medicine to counteract this so advanced, that our humanity will be a product of the medicine and not our parentage, and so we'll be able to craft a person out of any suitably similar base species.

Combine gill genes with humans, combine wing genes with humans, combine amphibious genes with humans maybe even fish, reptile, croc, bird or bat genes with human intelligence and humanoid appearence. See the results, scream "ITS ALIVE!" Who knows what you will get? So who will be the real life Dr. Frankenstein of gene/dna tampering?

I honestly wouldn't give a crap if we had human-intelligence level "abominations" walking around everywhere. It would just make the world a more interesting place.

And if you care about people you should know they technically have concentration camps for refugees, declassifying the conditions will get you sent straight to prison. Oppression does not end on its own, you need change.

Have you tried reading any of the other threads on this board? You come across like a pubescent kid who just discovered social injustice and thinks he has all the right outrage and all the right answers, but has exactly zero idea what's going on in the activism sphere and has only read one book. Ever.

In addition, none of this has FUCK ALL to do with doing genetic experiments on human beings. Did you even look to see what thread you were in? Go home, little boy, you are lost.
I was replying to someone just. As for this thread I'm talking about pulling off a real life "Dr. Frankenstein" except without "bringing back the dead" but creating many new unusual life forms. Cultivate chaos in nature through gene/DNA tampering.

Combine gill genes with humans, combine wing genes with humans, combine amphibious genes with humans maybe even fish, reptile, croc, bird or bat genes with human intelligence and humanoid appearence. See the results, scream "ITS ALIVE!" Who knows what you will get? So who will be the real life Dr. Frankenstein of gene/dna tampering?

I honestly wouldn't give a crap if we had human-intelligence level "abominations" walking around everywhere. It would just make the world a more interesting place.

What in the fuck kind of bullshit do they teach people in high school biology in Australia? I know the place is backward as fuck, but seriously?

Please note that there's nothing "edgy" about being a sociopath.  It means that you are mentally and emotionally stunted.  A defective biot, and not in a revolutionary way.  You are to the species what Fiats are to sports cars.

This. Lacking empathy doesn't mean you're a superior person or a better thinker, it means that you are missing one of the major evolutionary strategies that has permitted our species to thrive. Empathy is an important component of decision-making and people who lack it tend to not only treat others poorly, but to fare poorly themselves. They are more likely to end up impoverished, imprisoned, and in poor health. While they often manage to reproduce, in many cases repeatedly, their offspring have high mortality rates and are often also afflicted with the same condition.

It's one of those accidental mutations like cystic fibrosis that isn't lethal enough to just die out, so it just sort of lingers around making people gross and miserable.

It does not if you have a large container that simulates the conditions of a human host. I don't know why the scientific community are too retarded to think of this idea or alternate ways.

Developing something like that takes money. Lots of it. Possibly in the millions or billions of dollars range.

Deep space exploration is perfectly possible if you have enough energy to open up a wormhole.  I do not understanded why the scientific community are too retarded to consider this.

I mean, not to even touch on the fact that you are essentially talking about forcing women to be pregnant with genetic chimera babies of unknown viability for cheap kicks, which is gross as fuck. No doubt you'd love to see compulsory breeding farms.

Fascist little shithead.

Is it possible that it's a little more complicated that it seems, and we have a perfectly reliable human-producing system right now?

ITT, Prelate Diogenes Shithead teaches Nigel about abnormal psych, using shitty links.

I really appreciate his efforts to educate me, it's not like I just spent a year reading about clinical psychopathy while finishing a psychology degree, or anything.

Just because scientists have been working on it for decades doesn't mean they aren't too retarded to think of it. Nothing is too retarded if you're ChaosAdvocate.

But he has some popular science links.  Omni Magazine may be involved.  That's the same as fuckin' Johns Hopkins.

Also fascinating: That he apparently thinks that "selfish behavior" and "psychopathy" are the same thing. They aren't.

Despite the current popularity of speculation that high-powered Wall Street execs are more likely to be psychopaths, there is no supporting data for this claim, which originated as either a misquote or a flat-out confabulation of Dr. Robert Hare's research. He himself has debunked the citation on his own webpage http://www.hare.org/comments/comment2.html, and you can also read about it here: http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2012/03/06/untrue-1-out-of-every-10-wall-street-employees-is-a-psychopath/

Hey now, Robspierre ran a country.  Have you ever run a country?  Thought so.

OK, maybe he didn't run it well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermidorian_Reaction), but it was his.
