GMO techniques will result in one of two outcomes. 1|Death by 1000 cuts: where we irreparably change the ecosystem and evolutionary pathways over time. 2|Massive catastrophe on a global scale in the blink of an eye on an evolutionary timescale.https://www.hcn.org/issues/50.11/plants-genetically-modified-grass-creeps-across-eastern-oregon …
Explain to me where I made an error. How can one calculate potential mutations that adapt a species to its environment, maintaining a habitable equilibrium, over a long run time frame (not 20 years, how about 2 million years)

This is where my take is coming from (and my own knowledge of natural systems), would be happy to listen to where you disagree and open to changing my mind.https://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/07/14/business/dealbook/another-too-big-to-fail-system-in-gmos.html …

Mostly your entire framing of evolution as predicated by mutation is incorrect. Selection chooses the mutation. We are changing the course evolution in nature by changing the environment, not through GMOs.

That’s entirely my point, that adaptations to a complex ecosystem (through mutation/“altering course evolution” are not predictable. To think humans at this point can properly dictate nature, is absurd.

I’m interested in learning. Can you explain why these arguments would be invalid?pic.twitter.com/uSyCkf0sbC

Yes. one by one.

It's in the google docs. You can comment or add questions.

Thanks. Will take a look soon.
