It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

CW: (Infrahaz) Haz says genes are literally not real (mobile.twitter.com)

Genes are literally not real. The concept of a gene is completely pointless since all structural functions of DNA are already described by the language of molecular biology without the need for this 'concept.'

That means a gene is a metaphysical idea.

The notion of a gene began as a way to describe the supposed essence of biological organisms that existed at their expense. Lysenko refuted this impractical metaphysical garbage and Anglo institutions of 'science' have smeared him ever since.

Lysenko wasn't a molecular biologist and never claimed to be. Its just that when his actual practical findings contradicted Mendeloid dogma, the Westoid Mendeloid 'scientists' attempted to purge and discredit him.

Now his findings are almost totally confirmed.

The West's rejection of Lysenko had nothing to do with science. During WWII they actually engaged with his ideas earnestly. Then, they started to politicize him right at the outset of the cold war and solely for political reasons.

Rejecting Mendeloid 'gene' has nothing to do with rejecting heredity. In fact Lysenko was a strong hereditarian, even more than the neodarwinists. The point is what grounds the heredity, for Lysenko this is the organism taken as a whole metabolism, and not a gene essence.

The implication for humanity is simple: We cannot take it for granted. In the West we experience a post human era. This spiritual degradation of human beings literally will affect our very biological essence.

I mean he's nuts, but he's not entirely wrong. Mendellian genetics is to actual phenotype as the Bohr model of the atom is to actual electron configuration. It's way more complicated than gene X expresses trait Y and actual geneticists know this. Shit, they teach you that in freshman biology. Also, what the hell do :reddit-logo: and capeshit have to do with any of this?

Yes, but "Gene" in molecular biology has an exact meaning nowadays. This is Haz claiming electrons don't exist because you can represent the whole atom and its chemical interations as a single wave function in theory.
