A few decades ago when the human genome was first being sequenced, it was assumed that most genes would have a straightforward 1:1 relationship with specific associated traits (so you’d find a “gene for X” and a “gene for Y”). And while there are a few genes like that, it turns out that most genes are part of complex gene regulatory networks that resemble neural networks in that there are complex non-linear relationships between the inputs and outputs. So if you want to make a specific change to a specific trait, you have to edit multiple genes, and each of those genes affects multiple other traits you weren’t intending to change, etc.

Even if the Democrats had a filibuster-proof majority, any legislation they passed could still be vetoed by Trump. To overturn that they’d need 67 Senate seats plus two thirds of the House (and if they had that they could impeach and remove him outright).

Looking at the revision history, it looks like it was vandalized and then reverted five minutes later (and the vandalizing editor was blocked from making edits).

Ikiru.

Grandpa used to tell us stories about those times.
