@Asa_Scion@DouglasSpaeder@ComradeHazet36@OzmunC If reading Marx and Engels alone were sufficient, then why has no formidable ML party emerged in the Western world in my lifetime?
It's almost like truly understanding and contextualizing these authors requires engaging with questions that were taken for granted then.
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail I think the metaphysical notion of a 'gene' is hindering modern progress in biology. We're kind of hitting a wall with this outdated paradigm, and whoever admits it first will shoot into the stratosphere. Probably China.
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail ^I have no idea what you're asking, but it sounds like you are hinting at ideological predispositions of scientists. Is that correct?

@kcat1011@JohnSmith8zfj@buckadeath I'm 90% sure you will see where I'm coming from in a voice chat, but in terse, written form, it probably looks like a truthnuke.
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail I have talked to modern biologists from China, and many (especially in private) have similar views to what I'm promoting here. Not to mention scientists in the former Societ Union. This paper escaped containment: https://t.co/LqHNqw294z
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail Of course I do. I advocate an understanding of how heredity is holistically encoded not isolating DNA as some isolated blueprint/template that is the site of Calvinist predestination.
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail Subset? If anything, the affectations of genetards are a subset of the greater metabolism. You have this completely backwards.
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail That says more about you than Lysenkoist Chinese biologists grinding in Shenzhen rn or whatever evangelical yokel triggered you once upon a time.
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail I am 100% a Lysenkoist, and you are correct in your assessment. Working in biotech and seeing genetic engineering being renamed 'metabolic engineering' was my tipping point that helped me engage with literature on heredity outside of poorly smuggled Calvinist cargo.
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail It's 80% anti-communists who know nothing about biology but feel moved to shout at us for ideological reasons. If probed on purely biological basis, they are what I would call 'eugenicist-Medelians'.
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail I agree with Lysenko. Intraspecies competition (which he has written about elsewhere too) is not sufficient for explaining speciation. The gradual progression is such cap.
@PamphletsY The same people who voted for Copmala Harris, but even this presumes a true choice.
In reality, he was shoved down our throats and advertised endlessly through his various appointments prior to running.
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail True! That's what I've been saying, but Mendeloids on this site don't understand acetylation/methylation within epigenetics let alone studies suggesting the nonrandom nature of natural selection. If they conceded, this would destroy their social sciences import of genes.
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail Modern genetics DOES NOT validate Lysenko.
Modern molecular biology DOES destroy the Medelian notion of a gene (which precedes the discovery of DNA btw).
@FemboyDCS@AuthorialGail What you just said already casts incredible doubt on metaphysical genes. ๐
'more complicated', 'epigenetics', 'proteomics', keep going until you reach Lysenkoism
