Laymen here. Maybe there are some biologists out there to answer this question.

Let's assume:

1, Right now, most states are approaching an international problem (a pandemic) on a national level. Therefore, there are states in which a very high percentage of people are vaccinated while there are other states in which very few people are vaccinated. That on the other hand means, there are states in which the virus can reproduce (and mutate) pretty well and there are states in which the evolutionary pressure on the virus is high but also well defined due to the very limited amount of different vaccines. "Normal" variations of the virus aren't able to reproduce well there, but if there arises a mutation that's immune or at least pretty resistant to the vaccination, it has a huge selection advantage against other variations and thus becomes prevalent there. (Isn't this exactly what happened when the Delta variation jumped from India to England?) Mind: this is not necessarily the case in countries where fewer people are vaccinated since other variations can reproduce themselves and compete in the struggle for existance, too.

2, Now, we divide the population of a state into two groups: people who belong to a risk group and people who don't. Of course, this oversimplifies things, but let's say people in the risk group are dependent on an effective vaccination while people who don't belong to it aren't (as much). "Dependent" means: they have a high risk of becoming seriously ill or even die from the virus, for example very old and/or ill people.

If we combine 1, and 2, it becomes questionable if it's really an act of solidarity to get vaccinated since we basically breed virus variations which are more resistant to the vaccination and thereby reduce the protection of people who are really dependant on an effective immunisation, doesn't it?

Explain to me why this isn't the most effective and long term solution to fix climate change? People have spent billions trying to come up with solutions to climate change when the problem is very simple. Less humans = less emissions. More humans = more emissions.

If we don't reduce world population then our scientific and technological advancement will be hard capped due to emissions. We will never realize our potential as humanity. Why should we doom our species like this just so third worlders can keep popping out kids?

whats the science behind dehumanization, how does it all work? is it really as effective as they say it is?

Back when I was an undergrad/biotech vocation I got to participate in some IGEM synthbio projects and a heavy focus on synthbio in biochem and molecular bio of the gene. I've always seen "synthetic life" from breaking down living things into bare essentials to produce mini factories for pharma, or with pic related and culturing mini organoids.
Over the past year I've really gotten into AI models, which I dont really think are trying to copy life, but I never though about how convolutional kernels(which are also used in DNN for image feature extraction) actually functioned until I saw this video
https://youtu.be/7-97RhAZhXI (if you don't care about fleshlife or AI you should watch this video cuz it's cool)
I decided to look up Lenia and Bert, and this looks more like the "artificial life" I thought boxcar2d(flash game from the 00s that used genetic structures) and game of life was trying to produce, and his talk shows more of his intent (and success) in reproducing basic intelligence compared to redditors talking about how AI will cause the singularity or something. https://youtu.be/G5P8eu6gUSo

I don't think this is any more representative of life than a CNN, but does a self-preserving shape represent life more than nodes representing a neuron's ability to be trained from digital(in a flesh vs computer sense) representations of info?

>Researchers say that catnip and another plant, silver vine, produce a chemical that activates their opioid reward systems.
Why is it ok to casually give opioids to your cat on a lazy sunday afternoon, but people go to prison when they do the same to themselves?

A member of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) and Sturmabteilung (SA), the military wing of the NSDAP, from 1931, Teichmüller agitated against his Jewish professors Richard Courant and Edmund Landau in 1933. He was drafted into the Wehrmacht in July 1939 and took part in the invasion of Norway in 1940 before being recalled to Berlin to undertake cryptographic work with the Cipher Department of the High Command of the Wehrmacht. In 1942, he was released from his military duties and returned to teach at the University of Berlin. After the German defeat at Stalingrad in February 1943, he gave up his position in Berlin to volunteer for combat on the Eastern Front. He was killed in action in September 1943.

Can someone remind me why we're using unproven and barely tested RNA technology for every vaccine that's being forced on the majority of the western world? Why can't I get inactivated vaccines which have been used for decades in my country? In fact no inactivated vaccines, proven to be safe and more effective than this RNA garbage, are approved in most of the western world. Instead our governments are spending billions of tax payer dollars to buy more vaccines than we can even use from (((pharmaceutical companies))) which have more than doubled their profits off this disaster.
Really jogs the fucking noggin.
