Like..when a new product is released into the consumer market, it's not really clear what the side effects are. 

 

I don't work at Space X or Tesla but I always thought even the best scientists don't know if facts match theory and they have to test it. 

 

LIke..I'm trying to say that it takes a lot of intelligence to admit we don't know what's going to happen when a new thing is released

 

and you might not see the real side effects for decades 

 

But yeah dood - u go first and I'll observe 

 

It might sound a bit harsh, but the line of argumentation here is (unfortunately) far too common: 

 

1) I do not understand the underlying concept.

2) I have a diffuse fear of something associated in the public "wordcloud" associated with the keyword ("CRISPR").

3) I do not trust science/cooperations/authorities.

4) I therefore refuse the concept in its manifestations.

5) Despite 1) I propagate my views.

 

While I definitely can't change 1-4 on a larger scale, I will always try to counteract 5 ...
