    Everybody wants science to cure cancer, but the moment someone does foundational research they lose their fuckin minds.
    Guys, the alternative is cutting up mice and pigs.

      Iam not sspecifically talking about this example and I am not trying to imply this tissue has any sort of consciousness but if “foundational research” means “man made horrors beyond my comprehension” maybe we need to find another way, and if we cannot, maybe we just shouldn’t torture conscious beings in the name of science and progress.

      this has nothing to do with cancer. when will you people realize? Do you not question why Epstein was funneling billions of dollars into various scientific organizations intent on researching neuroscience?

      Or maybe you are already one of the golems.

      All I want science to cure is billionaires, we’ll take it from there. Concentrations of wealth that enable making brains grow eyes are a bug, not feature. Ever read “Whitey’s on the Moon”?
