The obvious trap that anti-GMO campaigners keep falling into is to base their argument around science instead of economics. That's a surefire way of losing the debate and making yourself look like some kind of Pastor Chris conspiracy kook.
Look, I come from a family where if you close your eyes and throw a stone, it will hit a doctor. They're like ants. And I can tell you for free that doctors are some of the most arrogant and intransigent professionals you will ever meet, especially where it concerns things that fall within their scope which they don't fully understand - but they will never admit it to you.
A doctor is like a pilot. They are trained to carry out specific tasks using a written set of instructions and parameters. Everything functions off checklists, instructions, and equipment that someone else created, and their job is to demonstrate knowledge of, and compliance with these things. It's not a doctor's job to question the funding, motive, or methodology behind a peer-reviewed research paper. It's not a doctor's job to question why certain research studies have NOT been carried out and why.
A doctor's job, like a pilot's job, is to read what someone put in the book and follow the instructions built on this information. If a study conclusively proving that GMO food has negative health consequences has not been done because nobody will fund it, it's not a doctor's job to ask why. Just like despite Boeing whistleblowers as far back as 2014 having complained about the 737 MAX program, it wasn't the Lion Air pilot's job to determine whether the design of this aircraft posed any hazards. Their job was to follow checklist and do as they were told.
The truth that you will never hear a doctor admit is that most doctors are not especially knowledgeable about things outside their narrow field of specialisation. And even within their field, the knowledge they have is the knowledge that the medical industry allows them to have. Until now as you're reading this, many American doctors and nurses are still taught that there are racial differences in how pain is felt, and that black women feel less pain than white women. As a result of this completely racist, unscientific, 18th century nonsense which nobody has removed from the books, black women in the US are routinely given less anaesthetic during medical procedures, and they are 7-12 times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than white women.
If you point this out to an American doctor, he will find excuses to deny the obvious or take offense at being queried by a layman who hasn't done 100 level Anatomy. Until Bill Gates funds a peer-reviewed study showing that this 18th century anachronism shouldn't be taught in medical school, and then lobbies the Department of Health to change its guidelines, they will keep defending it because that's what the books say.
So as an anti-GMO campaigners, the dumbest thing you can do is start quoting obscure or suppressed studies to 'prove' to a medical professional that GMOs are bad. It's a fight you cannot win and you would be foolish to even try. By the time he whips out a paragraph of 5-syllable words that he learnt from his medical textbook, you'll be left blinking your eyes and looking like a dickhead. Bill Gates is a very smart guy. He has ensured that the entire medical research space cannot produce any research that contradicts the one that supports his financial interests, and typically nobody who wears a white coat dares to stand up to him.
So stick to the economic argument, which is that one man cannot be allowed to privatise and monopolise an entire continent's food supply. Force them to remain on the defensive by using an argument that anyone can understand, and there is no logical comeback for.
Stop losing and looking silly because you want to take on a white coat on their own turf. It doesn't end well. Stick to what you can prove and defend empirically. Leave the Pastor Chris nonsense out.
Nothing at first, at least not visibly. Provided it’s consensual, everyone smiles. You get your money, he gets his release. The world moves on.
But nothing poisons slowly like what feels harmless in the beginning.
For the woman, the danger isn’t in the one-time act. It’s in the pattern. It’s in the normalization. It’s in how quickly the brain recalibrates to see the body as a tool for extraction.
You begin to skip the hard things—building, learning, failing, starting again—because why suffer when you can just offer? When you know that with a bit of perfume and clear skin and disarming smile, you can raise capital quicker than any grant application. You start to see money as a function of desirability, not capacity. And so, gradually, dangerously, your sense of value becomes outsourced to the gaze of men.
And you’ll think it’s power until one day, nobody looks anymore.
That’s the part no one tells you. That the sexual economy is a depleting currency. You start at your highest value, and it diminishes over time. Slowly at first, then with shocking speed. Your calls get fewer responses. The offers begin to thin. The men who once lined up now scroll past. And because your entire economic model was built on your desirability, you have no fallback, no structure, no self. Just silence.
But worse than the external silence is the internal rot; the erosion of self-worth that comes from years of reducing your sacredness to a transaction. You no longer feel beautiful unless someone pays to confirm it. You no longer feel wanted unless someone proves it with cash. You no longer feel valuable unless you are being consumed. You become a shelf product past its expiry date, watching younger girls replace you at the table you once ruled.
Now to the man. At first, it feels like luxury. Like abundance. Like control. Swipe, pay, collect. A new girl every week. And because the body is built for novelty, you begin to chase it like a man possessed. Not sex, novelty. New breasts. New moans. New lies.
But here’s what no one warns you about: the more you consume women this way, the harder it becomes to connect to them in any meaningful way. Intimacy becomes foreign. Love becomes fiction. You stop seeing women as partners and start seeing them as ports; places you dock in briefly, never to linger. Every woman becomes a suspect, a potential seller waiting to be bought. You lose the ability to believe in sincerity, because you’ve spent years paying for pleasure and watching women fake it like professionals.
And it gets worse.
Some of the women you paid? They were in relationships. Some were engaged. Some lied to their men with breathtaking skill. You saw it firsthand—how easily loyalty folds when money enters the room. And now, even if you find a good woman, you won’t believe it. Even if she’s clean, you’ll see stains. You’ll doubt her. You’ll test her. You’ll sabotage your own happiness because your heart has been trained in distrust. You’ll ruin every good thing before it blooms.
This is how transactional sex kills both parties: quietly, efficiently. The woman loses value in her own eyes and becomes unable to build herself outside of desirability. The man loses faith in women and becomes emotionally handicapped, unable to connect, only capable of conquest. Both end up in ruins, just different shapes of it.
And that’s why ancient traditions were militant about sex within marriage not because they were prudes or sexually repressed, but because they understood what we’re only now discovering: that sex is not neutral. It binds. It breaks. It builds or it destroys. And once it becomes a commodity, it corrodes everything—your trust, your joy, your future, your peace.
But you won’t see the destruction all at once. You’ll laugh. You’ll post. You’ll call people who say these things “moral police.” But time is a patient teacher. And if you keep trading sacred things for temporary pleasure, time will teach you too—slowly, painfully, and with no refund.
