I don't think you understand the complexity of DNA

2018-10-06 13:57:44 UTC  

I do

2018-10-06 13:57:46 UTC  

You don't

2018-10-06 13:57:51 UTC  

I'm a programmer

2018-10-06 13:57:58 UTC  

and?

2018-10-06 13:57:58 UTC  

lets presume DNA is a program

2018-10-06 13:58:05 UTC  

complex program to make stuff

2018-10-06 13:58:07 UTC  

I'm a biologist

2018-10-06 13:58:50 UTC  

I'm not sure what you think was mapped, but we don't understand how a person is made from DNA from the little mapping we did

2018-10-06 13:59:06 UTC  

We mailed the whole thing

2018-10-06 13:59:14 UTC  

sure we can say how one gene in the DNA sequence can be the cause of one thing, but we don't understand how the whole thing works together

2018-10-06 13:59:15 UTC  

Who doesn’t understand that? All of humanity, or just you?

2018-10-06 13:59:17 UTC  

Mapped

2018-10-06 13:59:23 UTC  

BS

2018-10-06 13:59:40 UTC  

its like mapping the world when you think its a globe

2018-10-06 13:59:45 UTC  

its mapped incorrectly

2018-10-06 13:59:51 UTC  

That's what they did in the 90s and 2000s

2018-10-06 13:59:59 UTC  

its mapped incorrectly

2018-10-06 14:00:03 UTC  

oh god here comes the globe

2018-10-06 14:00:23 UTC  

It's a simple thing of G-C A-T it's not that hard to sequence

2018-10-06 14:00:31 UTC  

I’d also like to remind everybody that we knew how genes worked long before we discovered the DNA molecule.

2018-10-06 14:00:54 UTC  

(We meaning humanity in this case)

2018-10-06 14:00:56 UTC  

@The18thDoctor yeah u right but the bean monk didn't get it all

2018-10-06 14:01:03 UTC  

we have been manipulated genes in a rudimentary way to create various types of dogs

2018-10-06 14:01:17 UTC  

Yeah I wasn’t just referring to Mendel.

2018-10-06 14:01:19 UTC  

we have a very basic understanding of it

2018-10-06 14:01:45 UTC  

Being able to change genes and understanding how genes work are very, very different things.

2018-10-06 14:01:54 UTC  

and rudimentary is where we are, we are in the 21st century with that limitation on tech, in 1 K years, we will be much much more advanced and have a better understanding of it

2018-10-06 14:01:56 UTC  

We have manipulated genes to grow ears on mice, we have a complex understanding of it

2018-10-06 14:02:10 UTC  

presuming we don't have scientists who create bogus theories that everyone buys

2018-10-06 14:02:40 UTC  

I'm saying we have a rudimentary understanding of it

2018-10-06 14:02:57 UTC  

we don't understand the human brain, we don't understand how to fix DNA defects

2018-10-06 14:02:57 UTC  

Just because you don't know how it works doesn't make it impossible to learn, we know so much but you aren't looking it up

2018-10-06 14:03:07 UTC  

we understand less than we understand

2018-10-06 14:03:44 UTC  

lets presume we know about 2% of how DNA works, your trying to pass that off as a great knowledge

2018-10-06 14:03:48 UTC  

DNA defects are more often than not self correcting in mitosis, however if you are talking about meiosis we can correct there

2018-10-06 14:03:54 UTC  

2% is not alot

2018-10-06 14:04:06 UTC  

less than a slice of a pizza

2018-10-06 14:04:07 UTC  

How do you know it’s that small?

2018-10-06 14:04:33 UTC  

Kevin you aren't reading what I'm saying, you are presuming that you are already correct and saying nonsense

2018-10-06 14:04:49 UTC  

And also knowledge is not a thing you can easily slice up like that. You can’t know how much you don’t know without knowing what you don’t know.
