  • Given that your very first piece of evidence of how CNN lies about China is them saying tiananmen square happened, and your “disproof” is just a link to a random website entirely devoted to denying the massacre happened, it’s pretty clear why you’re not exactly getting a positive response

    Edit: The second disproof is literally just the Chinese government saying it isn’t true, which isn’t exactly thorough evidence

    If you exclusively take the statements of a government as unquestionable truth, you’re going to be wrong a lot, regardless of which government you choose




  • I mean I guess one of the biggest arguments for gene editing is that humans have been modifying the genetics of plants and animals for thousands of years, to the great benefit of humankind. While this was through selective breeding, gene editing is fundamentally a very similar ethical question.

    Without genetic modification, it would have been beyond impossible to feed everyone, or even get somewhat past subsistence farming.

    Modifying humans, however, is a totally different question to mosifying trees.
