i was rereading this post i made about natural lsd 
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7903941/fpart/1/vc/1
anyway by page 2 or 3 it starts to get really interesting, people start talking about algorithms to generate protein sequences, dna transcription, modifying enzymes, genetic engineering, transfecting genes into bacterium to get them to get them to synthesize proteins, nobel prize awards for such accomplishments, stabilizing unreacted substrate and stablizing transition state, etc.
then i guess i started flipping out, and hey on shroomery, when one person flips out, everyone else feeds into it , so then everyone started flaming everyone etc. etc.
but if you read in between the arguments there is some good stuff there. i was thinking of going back and deleting all the posts i made in that thread except 1 or 2, just the ones asking the main questions.
but ehhh.. i'm sure no one gives a fuck. i don't even know why i do, just that genetic engineering is pretty fascinating, rna transcription and all that. i wonder if one day the science behind this will be so debunked, that a person could do it in their house with a machine they could buy anywhere. probably not 
i mean who knows maybe genetic engineering will one day be like playing tetris. hey it sounds retarded but building computers now is something that thousands of companies do, but i guess it's not like playing tetris. still thought the field itself could become well enforced with people mastering themselves in it, and the concept could become a household subject such as computer engineering.
it's crazy that a lot of crops you see in the grocery store, in one way or another were genetically engineered at once point to grow better or faster. but in a sense, i can see that this field hasn't DRAMATICALLY helped anyone in any serious way so far, but has cost a lot of money
actually I TAKE THAT BACK, insulin apparently used to be extracted from pig cadavers, now a bacteria makes it, that is in a sense, nobel prize winning stuff. i guess rna transcription helped us discover through genetic engineering, a way to produce mass amounts of insulin though enzymatic building in a bacteria.
i forgot to reread that fast fred said that. quite a contribution actually
