  • You think a person’s worth is tied to their genes. Pretty yuck. I disagreed and explained how.

    For the record I was calling YOU out for linking a person to their genes, just not directly, trying to be courteous to the conversation.

    Keep replying now, and you’re just slapfighting. Not worth it. I said in the last comment our positions are well known and the conversation is functionally concluded.

    I mean if it’s a damaged or failed it’s a bad gene. It caused ms!

    It’s not shitting on a person, it’s discussing a condition.

    I can understand that discussion can lead to eugenics style thoughts.

    “Oh that person has tons of bad genes, they therefore are bad”. That’s wrong though, a person can have a super fucked up body but it doesn’t change their value or goodness.

    When discussing a condition, the genes that improve or cause that condition can be described as good or bad.

    Context matters.

    There’s also a branding problem IF you want “normie” widespread adoption.

    If the go to image of a Linux user is the fedora m’lady guy saying “so that’s you’re distro,huh”

    Or the furry tallsocks wall of text customize to the n-th degree person,

    The normie will never align.

    You might like that, from a social perspective, but even saying “your knowledge is outdated” is funny because most folks have little to no knowledge of their Mac either, they just know it “just works” for their mainline usage.
