  • "[..] We're sitting on an engineered floor, engineered chair. Everything in this room is has been engineered, except for the living organisms. Now that all the barriers are falling away to engineering bacteria, viruses, and much higher organisms we're really creating a parallel biology, one that's moving about a 100 million years of evolutionary time each calendar year. So we'll see a wild variety of new applications coming out around the world, it's only limited by creativity."- Loved this talk

  • why the bmw plug

  • @MindfulFuture Bahhh bahhh bahh Grow up, wake up or shut up.

  • @TruthSmack Listen, I'm not some 13 year old kid that is new to the complexities of the systems of the world, ok? Your cliches and paranoia are not based on sound facts/realities.

  • @MindfulFuture Wake up now or face a rude awakening very soon. You are being ruled. The best slave is a slave who does not know he is a slave.

  • @TruthSmack No, biology is certainly NOT designed perfectly. We have had to improve it over and over again. I know all about GMO foodsand I have no problem with them. I do have a problem with Monsanto Corp though...the way they have used their seeds etc. You 'global elite' is just paranoid bullshiut that Alex Jones shoved into your head so he could make some $ off of you. It isn't true. Whatever you think their agendas is, it isn't.
