This is the 10th "study" to find what is blatantly obvious to everyone I've seen today. Why are we wasting time and research funds on this garbage?

No if you win the lottery. Then play again. You are more likely to win the second time than the first. Statistically this is true but that just goes to show how misleading statistics are. It's based on the fact that there is a higher % of people who have won the lottery and then won again, than people who have won vs the general population. I was joking but it is an actual statistic.

Statistically you are more likely to win twice than once.

Seriously. Sounds like that "money doesn't buy happiness" shit millionaires tell everyone else as they hoard all that totally unhappy money.

The point is no one does they are collectively "owned" by humanity. Why are you making stuff up about soul and sentience here? I'm out, I'd say have a good one but you seem pretty miserable.

At what point in history did we have the means to produce everything we need and want with 0 labor?

What? That's just your narrative bro. You are the one trying to force people to work who don't want to. I'm saying people can do whatever they want. There will probably be massive scientific discoveries and breakthroughs when people who want to study and learn have the freedom to do so. If some choose

Yes,the purpose is what you choose to do at that point. You can study something you actually care about, find fun hobbies, read books, watch TV, play games. If you think forced labor is the only purpose in life you are a very sad person. The only people who are afraid are those living with generational wealth who already live this way and think it's due to some sort of gift they have that everyone else is lacking. When everyone can live like this then they are no longer special.

It works is already at our very nearly at the point that all labor can be automated. Let the machines produce and let the humans do whatever they want with their time. Why did this concept scare people? Oh no we won't have jobs anymore the fucking horror....

So they are trying to use the old genetic codes to create multiple strains to increase chances of growth in uncertain climate conditions?

I'm a little confused. Wasn't the point of cultivating them to make them grow more food faster? Then wouldn't modern plants be better at surviving?

Was the meat not good, or was there some other reason it didn't pan out?
