The science deniers sub is somewhere else.

This is the problem with science right now. Maybe the person above kind of came too hard. As a scientist instead of putting them down, you address the concerns the person has and talk to them like a human being with the knowledge you have to educate them.

If you’ve read the FDA’s documents on the Upside cell line submission, there’s a lot of questions to the validity of all of this, which makes sense, as the FDA hasn’t signed off, they just don’t have questions at this time. This is the beginning. There has not been any approval or assessment of any product. Headline in the media are very misleading and the owner of twitters brother is an investor.

They’ve also been backing off, as has the whole industry, in the ability to scale. There were a lot of companies who made big claims about their tech and are now changing their names/rebranding quietly and staying scalability is “obviously years away”

Chastising ppl just because they come to strong with their assumed opinions is what created vaccine denial. Not dumb ppl. It’s the ppl with knowledge that chose to high brow ppl because they couldn’t explain the science and just wanted people to agree with them because…science is full of a bunch of smug assholes nowadays.

Also the language on immortalization is unclear and if they are using crispr, they should be subject to human clinical trials prior to any approval

This is a cattlebrained take as the masses are poisoned by toxic food and endocrine disruptors the "science" said was safe.

The "science" is fallible human institutions relaying human opinions regarding things we readily admit we understand nothing about - the human body.

Enjoy your seed oils and be sure not to eat eggs, the cholesterol gives you a stroke or something. Trust the science, right?

Is this place getting flooded by crazy anti-gmo people or something?

Do you know a single thing about nutritional science? Do you know how inconsistent it is? Do you understand that, scientifically, we have a long way to go to fully understand how any of these things really impact the body?

I have a degree in neuroscience, and along with that degree came a healthy awareness for just how incomplete our understanding is when it comes to the body.

Also, you literally sound like a religious zealot. Actually study science and you will see it is not only rife with dissent, but dissent is encouraged in genuine scientific settings. It’s not pushed as some neo-religion like Redditors do. Because real science only works in a forum of free idea exchange, not this petty “if you don’t agree with the observations of another scientist then you are a science denier.” That’s what religious folk do.

I’m a specialized engineer, R&D nuclear/military/chemical.

Oh I agree with your skepticism, but your wording comes off as crazy. You could express healthy skepticism of this with much more tact, so I’m very surprised someone at your level has your grammar, which is rudimentary, so people are assuming you’re not very smart. It’s the subtext to your comments.

If you word more carefully, and stick to short specific skepticism, you’ll be received better. You criticized the progress of science in general, which is odd to do. Not specifically the uncertainty.

I'm reading all this lab grown meat bullshit and all it sort of reminds me of is the whole 'madcow disease' business.

I don't think the supporters of tjis really realise just how precarious this path can be. We could start eating this bullshit and next thing you know, two to three generations later children are being born with more defects than any other time in human history. This shit could make people insane....

There is a natural order to life and how lifeforms get sustenance from nature. This should be approved only after a multigenerational study, spanning at least 60 years. The long term effects of this can be very very very precarious.

And the idiots that are just saying and preaching "science !! science !!", they are in my opinion being reductive (to put it mildly).

Yep. You nailed it. And they act that way because science today is the new religion, which is exactly the opposite of what science is supposed to be. If you mock someone for dissenting against research, you are inherently not a scientist. Most of these people are uneducated sheep who just believe what the nightly news tells them.

Oh yes. Because having an opinion in science is the same as believing in monsters. Sure, I’m the crazy one. Your lack of scientific understanding is painfully obvious now.

Look, I’m not interested in arguing with religious zealots, so have a nice life.
