Is Kurzgesagt funded by the gates foundation? Because I wouldn't be shocked there
The fall of the DDR was the second worst thing to happen to the world
I wouldn't be surprised if the GMO one was funded by Bayer or something too. They literally say we have been "genetically modifying" plants for all of human existence, which is a profound misrepresentation of science.
no that's literally true, we haven't been doing it in labs with fancy equipment for very long, but humans have been breeding plants for tens of thousands of years
Yes, but I don't think humans were using bio-engineering to create crops that die without specific pesticides and hold patented bio-markers that allow for managing IP rights to food sources.
true, but those are just symptoms of genetic engineering under capitalism. same thing with a lot of scientific research, it could have actual social benefits but it's squandered so porky can make more profit
Agreed, but any defense of genetic engineering that doesn't make those facts incredibly clear is just a smokescreen for that corruption.
BREEDING PLANTS IS NOT GMO. Genetic modification is a targeted manipulation of the genome. Equating traditional breeding to genetic engineering is honestly one of the most irritating misrepresentations what biotechnology actually does.
by definition, plant breeding is targeted manipulation of the genome, it's just not as precise or direct as modern genetic engineering techniques
It's not a targeted manipulation of the genome. It's a coincidental recombination and inheritance of parental traits. It's a targeted manipulation of the phenotypes. You could argue with marker assisted selection that we are now manipulating genomes, but that's a relatively recent development. Certainly not one humans have been doing since the dawn of agriculture.
Oh yeah, all of those fucking sponsorships where "We teamed up with Bill Gates!"
Critical support for Melinda Gates taking half of Bill's money
though tbh he definitely has a prenup he basically creeped her into marrying him he was already CEO of a major company by the time he met her as an employee of his
When they pledged to give away half their wealth, they actually meant getting divorced.
Do people still bring that up ? All the ghouls that made that pledge keep doubling their net worth.
Musk, Bezos, now Gates
hmm, I wonder what character trait billionaires have in common that makes them unable to hold a marriage.
"we want privacy"
Then why the hell are you telling people you got divorced; what are you, the royal family? (In America it's whoever's running McDonalds that's the royal family)
Yeah there's some motivation behind this for sure. Too easy to just separate and no one would know, and Bill loves manipulating the public.
Has this happened to you?
After consolidating unfathomable wealth, the bloated bourgeois undergoes cellular division and remarries. Now you need twice the guillotine.
No more!
With a rust-proof blade and unpatented double neck-hole technology, this machine cuts down billionaires at twice the speed and twice the comfort!
Cut your time cutting down the ruling class in half!
Billionaire couples?
Double Chop!
Failsons?
Double Chop!
Landlords?
Double Chop!
Revolutionize your revolution today!
The person on the right wouldn't have the blade go through them all the way. You gotta do a sawtooth pattern. You can even scale it up!
Boris! I’ve got a a special. When can you work them in?
I couldn’t possibly sneak them in until Monday sir. I’m booked solid.
A modest proposal: they should marry and divorce 20 times in the next 10 years.
I feel partly responsible, in my defence Melinda said she was in an open source relationship
"Why the fuck is the toilet seat up?!"
"I don't know, it was probably one of the sacrifices."
"God I am so tired of you and your excuses, always blaming the adrenochrome cows-"
"Oh here we go again"
Bill it's either the child sex sacrifice rituals with the billionaire boys or me
most celebs call paparazzi on themselves, and many specifically plant stories in the tabloids. it's a symbiotic relationship
Hollywood type celebs probably, but I doubt billionaires do (except maybe Musk). I'm sure there's some paparazzo out there that would notice them not at events together and start digging.
idk a lot of billionaires in the public eye have dedicated PR teams, which often means getting papped to keep your name on people's lips or to like, distract people from the fact that you're actively doing a vaccine apartheid or whatever
plus usually the rumor mill gets kicked off by like, friends of friends or the celeb's staff or their friends or whatever - that's where most blind items in celeb gossip land come from afaik
