No man has been slandered so much in the history of science. The class enemy and their pseudo-intellectuals pour mud and shit on the man who dared to call a spade a spade - that biology is on firm Marxist-Leninist principles. That we did not create Marxism-Leninism, but that it is Marxism-Leninism that created us. Dialetical materialist understanding of the flora and fauna was forged with Great Darwin’s evolution theory. It was sharpened into a fine blade Engels’ brilliant ‘Part played by labour in the transition from ape to man’. Comrade Lysenko gallantly wielded the Immortal Science and embarked on steppe-wide crusade against scarcity amd famine. And the treat lovers hated him for it, they still do. No, no, no! No abundance of wheat, rice, and corn for the asiatic hordes and the African specimen! How dare they! Funko Pops for me, Famine Poop for thee! By burying Lysenko , and promoting Monsanto debauchery in the fields, by bullying Bohm-deBroglie and promoting the Heisenberg-Bohr mystic mafia in reactors, the Treatlerites secured the Century for themselves. But we must not be afraid. We must uphold the Great Men of Science. As Neruda’s pen truthfully carved: To be Man - that is the Stalinist Law !

Of course all the western eugenics and human experimentation were " mistakes that are now in the past :)", no ideology there
>>2494375>during its life time>>2494820>during its life time.
<in 1948 V. I. Karapetian observed in his experiments that if 28-chromosome durum wheat (Triticum durum) is sown late in the autumn some of the plants are converted rather quickly, in two or three generations, into another species, into 42-chromosome soft wheat (T. vulgare). https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/lysenko/works/1950s/new.htm
>The success of conversion depends upon the variety(genotype), suitable sowing time and other conditions
(Didus 1957; Rajki 1966). For example, Driga (1963)
summarized his work on the conversion of spring durum
and soft wheat varieties into winter hardy forms. Of the
20 varieties used in the experiment, only 7 varieties were
successfully transformed. Priilinn (1960) reported that the
spring wheat Kauka was readily converted into a winter
wheat by repeated autumn sowings, Diamant was difficult to
be transformed and took a longer time, and German wheat
31243 did not alter at all after four years’ autumn sowings.
In general, the conversion did not occur immediately and
more than two generations are necessary for the conversion
from spring to winter wheat. Remeslo (1962) showed that
soft spring wheat must be sown in autumn for at least two
generations to accomplish conversion into winter wheat,
while this process requires at least four generations in durum
spring wheat. Glushchenko et al. (1972) demonstrated that
the conversion of winter wheat into spring wheat took
place gradually and was complete after five generations
of spring sowing. According to Lysenko (1958), when the
spring wheat Milturum 321, Odessa 13 and Lutescens 1163
were sown for two successive years early in the autumn
(late August or early September), their progeny contained
a higher proportion of converted winter plants than when
sown in late autumn. Similar results were achieved by
Omarov (1958) and Karapetyan (1964).
>>2495771Can you find any proof of this miracoulus wheat transformation happening outside of the soviet sphere of influence? Weird how this supposedly universal biological process is exclusively tied to a specific time and place isn't it?
Also after all these threads, you could perhaps finally read the paper by the two Chinese researchers, instead of just posting it as 'evidence' for Lysenkoism.
>>2494354I should add here that Lysenko's position was not novel or unique at the time. The geneticists (a) did not monopolize biology, and (b) didn't all agree with each other or the claims that would become standard.
The thing that became default wasn't science, but was imposed in 1940, looking ahead to the future rehabilitation of the Nazis and their eugenics program. Ever since, biology is stuck in the dark ages and has only become worse every year.
>>2495932The funniest thing about "pure genes" is that chromosomal deformities are well known in humans, and they never shut up about the need to exterminate such things, yet "it can't possibly happen!" You don't see a more brazen case of denying facts than in the eugenists' hypocrisy.
Really though, animal societies and their mating populations are not fixed in the way that is imagined, and certainly not over many thousands of years. Animals tend to migrate, and their mating populations are local rather than general. These basic facts about how animals mate should have refuted the Darwinian theory on arrival, and this was indeed how a lot of people thought. The imperial ecologists were very violent in imposing this theory on history, inventing very elaborate systems of lying to prop it up until they could just assert it under threat of legal punishment.
>>2495914That is something entirely different from what Lysenko claimed and is perfectly in line with genetics.
>>2496030>Animals tend to migrate, and their mating populations are local rather than general. These basic facts about how animals mate should have refuted the Darwinian theory on arrivalCould you elaborate on this? I don't see how this contradicts darwinian evolution.
>>2496062To believe in "natural selection" requires a belief that mating is incidental and automatic, rather than deliberate and carried out in manners particular for a given mating grounds or species. Very often the result of nature is that many of the males and a number of the females never reproduce, rather than an imagined "equal opportunity" that Malthusianism implied. Also, the selection of mates is deliberate beyond possessing a species identity marker; it wouldn't even be possible to select for species if mating were truly random, because one animal could be replaced with a fetish object or incorrect target. Some deliberation is inherent in the act of sex.
Basically; if you're putting political economy into nature, this is not going to operate over millions of years in an inexorable trend. Animal societies, like human societies, have a definite history for the participants. Animals live and die in peril, rather than for some abstract notion of what life "ought" to be. The result is that these societies of stable populations crash and their remnants disperse over a period of thousands of years, and this happens many times over. The expectation would be that sudden changes are asserted and split off from a population, and like I said, chromosomal abnormalities in humans are birth defects that recur often. If your theory of heredity requires editing history violently to make it correct, it says something about the intent of the theory.
>>2496349we already know punctuated equilibrium and polyploidy are real. vernalization and epigenitics already prove inheritance of acquired characteristics.
i guess since gemmules arent real we should throw all of darwin in the trash as well?
>>2496506Lysenkoists are silly. They are holding down an ideological fort that was destroyed a while ago. Major Marxist-Leninist parties like the Communist Party of China abandoned Lysenkoism in the 1970s (REVISIONISTM!!!1!). They now lead the world in research into genetic inheritance. To the extent that epigenetics has changed our view of genetics, it has not vindicated Lysenko's claims which were neither falsifiable nor repeatable, and whose experimental methods were secretive and poorly documented.
Lysenkoists ironically claim to be dialectical materialist (i.e. grounded in material reality, as theory must be tested through practice), anti-idealist, anti-dogmatic defenders of science that serve the working class. They critique others for being ideological, metaphysical, or idealist. But when faced with material facts (modern genetics works, Lysenkoism fails), real-world historical outcomes, actual Marxist practice (China using genetics, not Lysenkoism), and reasoned counterarguments, they dismiss it not based on substance, but because they have tricked themselves into thinking that modern genetics is always and forever "eugenicist" and "scientific racist." That’s pure idealism! They’re retreating into ideological purity tests rather than confronting contradictions. It’s the exact opposite of what dialectical materialism demands. They should at least try to reproduce Lysenko's experiments, but in a less secretive way, and with peer review from the international community, including Marxist scientists from countries like China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the DPRK.
Did Lysenko actually claim to transform Durham wheat into common wheat in a single generation using environmental pressure? Yes!
Lysenko promoted the idea that you could "educate" plants through environmental exposure. Traits acquired during one generation (e.g. cold resistance from being exposed to winter) could be passed on directly to the next: Lamarckian inheritance. Through a process he called "vernalization", crops could be "trained" to adapt to new climates or change their biological behavior. One of his boldest (and most scientifically absurd) claims was that Durham wheat (a tetraploid species) could be transformed into common wheat (a hexaploid species) through environmental conditions alone. This is biologically impossible under current genetic understanding. Why? Because Durham wheat (Triticum durum) has 4 sets of chromosomes (tetraploid). Common wheat (Triticum aestivum) has 6 sets of chromosomes (hexaploid). The jump from 4n to 6n requires hybridization and chromosomal duplication, not mere exposure to cold or drought! So, scientifically speaking, Lysenko was either wrong, fraudulent, or mistakenly interpreting stress responses or cross-contaminated seed lines as "transformation."
If this was possible, why hasn’t anyone repeated it? The claim was likely never real to begin with. Replication requires access to the original materials and methods, and it turns out Lysenko’s methods were secretive, poorly documented, and not reproducible. Modern agricultural scientists have tried and failed to replicate these kinds of changes through environmental pressures alone. In real science claims need to be falsifiable and replicable. Lysenko’s weren’. Lysenkoists are engaging in idealist dogmatism cloaked as materialism.
>>2496445We probably should throw Darwin in the trash, but the world isn't ready for that conversation. It needs to be ready soon, or else it will be entirely too late.
Fact is, biology has been run into the ground so thoroughly that we know less about life than we did 200 years ago. All of the genuine advances in the biological science were negated methodically and replaced with this ghastly doppleganger. Biology was the first and most crucial science where this took place, not counting the sciences that were entirely consigned to the domain of the ideologues like psychology and sociology. They successfully took over physics with the same sort of rank pseudoscience, and now they're taking over everything. They've pretty well destroyed any genuine science that was happening, all for Eugenics.
Anyway the idea that the working class requires an oppositional "total system" is a false thinking that the ruling institutions always impose as a "default position" that is granted legitimacy purely because it is default and precedent is observed legalistically. Courts of Law rely on precedent (and not always in the same way), but science is not a court or a thing dictated by lawyers in the way that is insinuated. The scientific inquiry is one that would in principle be independently reproduced in one way or another, even if the particular wording and first principles of inquiries are different; that is, from different first principles, many scientists can arrive at the same conclusion about the universe, just understood differently, and then these models can be compared since they all refer to a thing that the scientific community doesn't doubt. For example, no one seriously doubts there is such a thing as hereditary traits in life. The false dichotomy is used to say that if you don't agree with the total system of Eugenics, then you must not believe in evolution and "the science".
FWIW Lysenko never criticized eugenics in that way, since the Soviet Union had its version of eugenics / selective breeding for social purposes. His dispute with the geneticists was over the scientific claims made about life and evolution, rather than a moral or political claim; and Lysenko didn't deny the existence of "genes" as such, which is why he brings up the chromosomes. He is specifically arguing that heredity did not work in the way that was being asserted by the eugenists, where "genes as information" exists in some physical code that can be read and rewritten at will. The actual working of any living body does not allow this to trivially edit life in the way geneticists please. All that can be done with this, and this is very imperfect, is chemical changes; changes which are rarely ever consistent, and the only thing the geneticists do is snip out some genes for another and guess that this will have some effect by feels. It's like copying a piece of computer code blindly and thinking "this always works" and insisting you're not supposed to think about what anything you copied does. No computer programmer would think like that if he were serious. It would be a dereliction of the most basic things a programmer does.
>>2496542They have been repeated because they're not difficult to reproduce. This has always been a training regimen for "goodfacts", to automatically dismiss anything that says anything besides "genes are destiny".
Lysenko never says "this is how you turn wheat into rye every time", which is the standard of proof they're trying to make. He says "this is something I have observed when watching a lot of farms", and because he was an agronomist specializing in plant biology, he knew this area a lot more than geneticists who really didn't study life proper.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vavilovian_mimicryThis is a helpful read to see what game is really being played to uphold the geneticist theory. If there is no rye planted, why does it spawn "spontaneously"? You see in the linked article the literal invocation of doublethink or "duping", when no such trick is being played. It gets ludicrous that these stories have to be invented based primarily on treachery, rather than acknowledging a regular mutation takes place by the nature of the life-form and its conditions. Usually weeds grow despite the efforts of farmers to select what will grow. In a controlled experiment you'd not have any weeds. It's hard to really make those controlled conditions without contamination. Something required the invention of "duping" to sow additional confusion. I'm not an agronomist but this is the fishiest thing if you care about science.
>>2496570>Why wouldn’t grasshopers turning into locusts qualify? It’s literally one species turning into another due to environmental changesLocusts are not a different species from grasshoppers, they are grasshoppers in a specific behavioral phase known as the swarming phase or gregarious phase.
Under certain environmental conditions (like crowding and abundant food), some grasshopper species undergo changes in behavior, physiology, and appearance, becoming what we call locusts. This transformation allows them to form large, destructive swarms. The transformation from a solitary to a gregarious (swarming) phase is a phenotypic change, not a genetic one.
>>2496568>>2496570>>2496572also keep in mind the time-scales. Not everything happens on the scale of 1, 10 or even 100 years. Some transformations occur on hundreds of thousands of years.
So one cannot expect 'physics level' of experiment and validation for every case. Sad.
>>2496567I'm not a "Lysenko stan", merely someone who cares about truth. Lysenko has quite a few black marks against him but it has nothing to do with this bizarre ideological crusade over genetics, which as I say Lysenko didn't really disagree with. He had a specific dispute with Thomas Morgan, but interestingly Morgan was one of the American geneticists that didn't endorse Eugenics (not for the reasons you expect, but basically because he didn't believe evolution worked that way at all). In a way Lysenko could be seen as running defense for the establishment to come on the question of genetics. The real reason they hated Lysenko so much wasn't about his genetic theories but his work in agronomy and the whole "feeding the people" thing, because the anticommunists needed to portray the communists as people completely alien to reality to sell what they were going to do to America and the world. At the time Lysenko was most prominent, during the 30s and early 40s, he wasn't a controversial figure at all and had respectability around the world, even if he was seen as an administrative creature more than a scientist. People who worked in agriculture would say everything Lysenko taught worked for them, including in America… and since America at the time was at the forefront of agricultural techniques, this had to be undermined. The big objective the Fabians had was to undermine American agriculture, tell them that agricultural output was intrinsically evil because "le carbon", so that the Malthusian prophecy would be made real. Even with all of the effort to do this, it hasn't been successful. Too many people in America have too much to lose, and it's one thing Republicans are totally unwilling to give up because it's the only reason they had any popular support (but now with Trump, that's all over).

>>2496440>you are wrong because you didn't use my preferred terminology>>2496561do you think a male deer growing antlers also becomes a different species?

Your snarky response would make sense if male deers never had antlers and then suddenly a generation of new male deer started growing antlers.
>>2496697cute kitty

>>2496666That's the problem with Lysenko. He couldn't break with Darwinism completely and ask if the entire theory wasn't based on easily false premises if you think about sex for five minutes.
I suppose I'm biased because my own thinking on politics and economy answers this very question. It is the reason why I wrote a book describing each before fitting them into history itself; to describe the sleight-of-hand being played on people as best as I can. I am no great philosopher but I try because, so far as I can tell, no one really has. It isn't too difficult to use today's systems thought to describe evolution of actual animals or "systems", and describe a theory of history that can model each individual animal, its habits and tendencies, and consider what actually happens in mating and in the entire developmental process, up to the time where new members of the species are there to mate.

>why hasn’t anyone repeated it?It was repeated. There were even repeats with frogs, though I'm not sure why.
>Modern agricultural scientists have tried and failed to replicate these kinds of changes through environmental pressures alone.Vernalization is used to this day with good results.
AI has randomly spewed out this, even:
>Epigenetic silencing isthe mechanism by which vernalization, the requirement for winter cold to induce flowering, is achieved in plants like Arabidopsis. Cold exposure leads to the accumulation of histone modifications, particularly H3K27me3, at the FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) gene, a repressor of flowering. This epigenetic mark stably silences the FLC gene, creating a "memory" of winter that promotes flowering after the cold period ends, and this silencing can be inherited through cell divisions.
Seems like vernalization DOES IN FACT causes epigenetic changes
>>2497267Oh no, please no, science, WHY are you siding with Lysenko's claims?!?! they very resolutely disproven!!!
https://www.jic.ac.uk/news/interdisciplinary-teamwork-sheds-light-on-the-intricate-mechanisms-of-epigenetic-silencing/The study finds that conformations of central protein domains in VRN5 defines its interaction with the protein complex Repressive Polycomb Complex 2 (PRC2), whose activity results in the deposition of lysine marks at histone H3 (H3K27me3) as a hallmark of epigenetic silencing.
By contrast, VIN3 depends on VRN5 to associate with PRC2 and distinctly interacts with VAL1, a transcriptional repressor that binds directly to the FLC gene during vernalization.
Although VIN3 and VRN5 were originally identified as vernalization regulators, the study finds that they co-associate with many other genes in the Arabidopsis genome that are modified with H3K27me3.
>>2497285No? Show me where Lysenko denies genes and genetics.
Honestly, the more one reads about wheat strains, and how plants seem to carry within them DNA of other plants randomly, even of extinct ones, which is usually an inactive DNA, it's not fucking wonder that harsh selection such as vernalization causes high variety of offsprings
I can't find the article off the bat which went into details about the foreign DNA in wheat, but cursory search shows stuff like 85% of wheat DNA is repetitve. Thing is, plants are stupid like this, their DNA is a mess, they hybridize rather easily and acquire other species' shit. It's like, the more you read, the more you understand that Lysenko wasn't wrong. He wasn't exactly right, but the experiments did produce valid results, which were dismissed only because of eugenicist dogma. And now, as it turns out, Lysenko was essentially not wrong - but dogmatics keep on clinging to their sacred texts about how Lysenko is science's Devil

>>2497454>epigenetics vindicates lysenko but also genes aren't realThe molecular gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produce a functional RNA. Do you deny the existence of DNA and RNA? If so please provide evidence.
PS: you clowns will twist yourselves like pretzels into a weird mixture of stoner monk and category theorist and start claiming that any time someone uses language to name a distinct entity or relation between entities they are imposing arbitrary distinctions onto real nature and are therefore making up fake concepts. "oh there is no floor, there is only a series of planks, oh there is no planks, there is only a series of wood molecules, oh there is no wood molecule, there is only a collection of atoms, oh there is no atoms, there is only a collection of subatomic particles, oh there are no subatomic particles there are only quantum fluctuations of energy" and so on.

Besides, we are talking about plants, creatures that produce viable offspring from hybridization. Changes in chromosome number are to be expected from selective breeding
Oh, found it
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9B%D1%8E%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%86%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%81 As you can see, lutescens wheat contains both winter and spring varieties. While I can't claim for sure that varieties were either 4 or 6 sets of chromosomes, I was led to believe that all winter wheat is 4 sets, and all spring wheat is 6 sets

>Einkorn is one of the oldest ancestors of wheat. Cultivation dates back to 8000BC. It is a diploid, with 14 chromosomes, compared to 42 in modern wheat.How did ancient humans increase chromosome number threefold?!?! Must be ALINES!!!1
>>2497671https://www.booksite.ru/fulltext/1/001/008/061/391.htmThis claims that Kirichenko has for the first time in history bred durum WINTER wheat. Also mentions interspecies and in-species hybridization efforts
https://vavilov.elpub.ru/jour/article/download/62/59This talks about a breeder named Kobaltov who has hybridized winter soft wheat with spring durum wheat to create winter durum wheat (Леукурум 1278 и 1320)
Then AI, again:
Yes,
hybrid lines can be developed by crossing durum wheat (a tetraploid with AABB genomes) and common wheat (a hexaploid with AABBDD genomes) to transfer beneficial traits like disease resistance, stress tolerance, or improved quality into either the durum or common wheat genetic background. These interspecific crosses often result in pentaploid F1 hybrids that can be used for breeding programs, although fertility and seed set can be challenges that need to be overcome through careful parental selection
How are durum and common wheat hybrids made?
Interspecific Crosses: Durum wheat and common wheat are crossed to create pentaploid hybrids.
Chromosome Backcrossing and Selection: The pentaploid hybrids can then undergo a process of backcrossing to one of the parent species, followed by selection for plants with the desired chromosome number (e.g., tetraploid for durum-type, or hexaploid for common wheat-type).
Modern Breeding Techniques: Methods like using doubled haploid (DH) technology can accelerate the development of homozygous lines from early generation hybrids.
So, like, what you gonna do with this? It seems like common and durum wheat share genes pretty easily
>>2497511he didn't actually though. he reported that someone else claimed that. the important part though is what this means to his theory, if he has one, what that theory actually is and whether such a theory fails or survives based on the claim. you still haven't explained the logic chain for the importance of the claim.
again, gemmules, as darwined envisioned them, turned out not to exist, yet his actual theory remains.
>>2497695Personally, i interpret it as wheat stalks literally containing hybridized seeds with different species plants. There are reports of this stuff all the time. Again, harsher selection would result in a higher variety of seeds. Lysenko had claimed that (others have claimed that) there was a clear different specie seed growing on wheat stalks, but I don't believe that. Either a contamination, or charitable specie interpretation, or what else
But again, wheat genome contains 85% repetition, and 3 different parent species, so in a very theoretical sense, it should be possible to extract those species from wheat. That's science fiction, though, at least should be

It's a mathematical and physical problem that shows how unpredictable their movement can be. But cause and effect in this context still follow the usual rules because each body's movement is the result of the gravitational pull (the cause) from the other two bodies (the effect). However, what makes it tricky is that the movements are chaotic, meaning you can’t easily predict exactly how they’ll move in the long term. Small changes can lead to huge differences in their orbits over time, almost like a butterfly effect. Now, in quantum mechanics, the idea that effects can precede causes gets more attention. In quantum physics, particles can be in multiple states at once or seem to "choose" their state based on measurement, leading to things like "retrocausality" or "time symmetry" in some interpretations of quantum theory. But again, this is a whole different ballgame from the three-body problem, and pretty controversial.
>>2497799>"Gene" is a metaphysical conceptWords that we use to describe reality fail to do so completely. You cannot use an a-priori schematization to describe everything. Russel and Whitehead tried. Godel proved it was impossible. The concept of language games from Wittgenstein also apply here. Concepts have a certain level of arbitrariness, ambiguity, and abstraction to them. When you behold reality, you behold it through your imperfect sense. you have an bunch of undifferentiated phenomenon that your nervous system filters into simplified information. you then transform this simplified information into even more simplified and abstracted concepts through things like language. You ignore what is unimportant to you and keep what is important. As we continue to study reality we find that what is important to us changes over time, and so that concepts we invent to model or understand reality prove to be limited, arbitrary, or ambiguous for our new purposes where they were perfectly fine for our old purposes. So when you say
>DNA is a molecule>"Gene" is a metaphysical conceptMy first answer was simple:
<A gene is a stretch of DNA that codes for a product (like a protein) or regulates something.But I realize this probably won't satisfy you. Just consider this: Even the concept of an atom, let alone a molecule, is an arbitrary, ambiguous, abstracted model. The atom itself is not the uncuttable thing Democritus was thinking of. It turns out to be a highly differentiated group of phenomena. There are subatomic particles. But those are abstractions to. Everything is a smooth gradient but we have to draw lines somewhere and say "this is the entity or relationship we are choosing to focus on."
You find the concept of a gene problematic and associate it with eugenics, and so forth. But rest assured the molecular gene does not need to carry any of that ideological baggage. When a contemporary biologist says "gene" just understand they are talking about a stretch of DNA that codes for a product or regulates something. Make sense?
>>2497845the reason hes calling it metaphysical is because the concept of a gene as a unit of heredity does not correspond to a physical object except in special cases which are not the norm and do not form a rule. most phenotype expression is not the result of a gene or even multiple genes but a complex interaction of multiple genes and the composition of the organism and its relation to its environment.
its not AI its wiki you will see that the modern definition is in conflict with the popular conception of a gene
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene#Definitionshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene#Discovery_of_discrete_inherited_unitshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene-centered_view_of_evolutionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_heritability_problempeople are not disputing the existence of DNA or that sequences in DNA transcribe proteins but the idea that DNA corresponds to discrete units of heritability which is why that poster made the distinction
>DNA is a molecule>"Gene" is a metaphysical conceptits not a disagreement about the level of abstraction
>>2497808>a three bodies problem. That's not a violation of causality.
>You can't divide by zero not because it's "truth"The reason you can't divide by zero is the same reason you can't know where an electron is - because these questions are meaningless to begin with. There is no concept of "here" or "there" for an electron so it doesn't make sense to ask where it is.

>that also wasn't what mendel said Mendel proved that the units of inheritance must come in pairs. This was later corroborated by the discovery of chromosome pairs. His research set us on the right path. Meanwhile there are no later breakthroughs in genetics that can be traced back to Lysenkos theories.
>>2497891>I never claimed to turn lead into gold, I need to turn it into silver first! >>2497899>the unit of heredity can be acquired through an individuals lifetime.???? it can though. Vernalized mother plant, for example, produces offspring that get pre-vernalized
Parts of DNA can be sensitive to certain external stimuli, be activated or deactivated dependent on external conditions. If you claim that this is not *true* heredity then you don't understand the state the genetics were in in the 1920-50s when Mendeloids were publically humiliated by Michurinists
>>2497907>you agree that most traits arent neatly attributed to individual genes in isolationLike all other pseudo science peddlers, Lysenkoids constantly pivot away from their original claims and try to play word games instead.
Traits are the results of genes (certain DNA segments), which will be inherited by offspring. Changes in genes do not happen due to the intent, but due to random mutations that may be may not be beneficial.
Is this controversial for you?
>inb4 anon thinks epigenetics means Lamarckian evolution >>2497913Cause and effect only makes sense wih a time evolving system.
The cause: the gravitational forces on each of the three bodies at this very instant
The effect: the resulting movement of the three bodies in the very next instant
If anything, the existance of gravitational waves is further consolidation of causality
>>2498131wrong.
infinity + 10 or infinity + 5 has no meaning at all. It's like saying 'god + 5 + an apple'.
>>2498263<In order to understand how it is possible to tackle the situations discussed above in accordance with the principle “the part is less than the whole” let us consider a study published in Science (see [8]) where the author describes a primitive tribe living in Amazonia – Pirahã – that uses a very simple numeral system for counting: one, two, many. For Pirahã, all quantities larger than two are just “many” and such operations as 2+2 and 2+1 give the same result, i.e., “many”. Using their weak numeral system Pirahã are not able to see, for instance, numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6, to execute arithmetical operations with them, and, in general, to say anything about these numbers because in their language there are neither words nor concepts for that. Moreover, the weakness of Pirahã’s numeral system leads to such results as
< “many”+1 = “many”, “many”+2 = “many”,
< which are very familiar to us in the context of views on infinity used in the traditional calculus
< ∞+1 = ∞, ∞+2 = ∞.
<These observations lead us to the following idea: Probably our difficulty in working with infinity is not really connected to the nature of infinity but is a result of inadequate numeral systems used to express infinite numbers. Analogously, Pirahã are not able to distinguish numbers 3 and 4 not due to the nature of these numbers but due to the weakness of the numeral system that Pirahã use. >>2497933>pivot away from their original claims >>2497862>mendels experiments dont hold for the vast majority of traitstry to keep up
>Traits are the results of genes (certain DNA segments), which will be inherited by offspring. this hasn't been the mainstream view for decades now its outdated and simplified
>Changes in genes do not happen due to the intentliterally no one claimed this. Changes happen for many reasons and one of this is interaction with the environment.
>due to random mutationsThis is the core claim and it is false. Changes are NOT always random. Epigenetics does in fact mean organisms inherit acquired traits
>>2495123Democritus was writing about something completely different. He was making, roughly, a version of Zeno's paradox, where you cannot split some object into infinitesimal parts without the universe imploding. It was an argument about abstract thought, rather than an argument about substance which didn't have any necessary "fundamental particle". Substance was simply a proposition, unless you get into substantive monism. Nothing about Democritus suggests the "particle" in question had to be a speck of something if it were about substance. Put another way, he's making an argument about what a "point" is in mathematics.
>>2496796Sex happened in every complex life-form in one way or another because complex life-forms themselves weren't "unitary". It would be quite impossible to create an animal of any complexity by asexual reproduction or splitting. The recombination of material was just a side-effect of what would have been required for anything like "sex" to happen in the universe between two distinguishable but compatible animals, where one fertilizes the eggs and the other produces eggs.
You see how insane this becomes when "the struggle for life" is naturalized and presumed to guide history to "make it so?" Pure ideology. Pure Satanism.
I see the retard brigade is adding in their takes where vernalization is some sort of magic genetic spell (wtf?) Someone needs their fag talking points to discredit any critics of Eugenics. That's what this Satanic forum does.
>>2497791I'm not even touching this spooky faggotry. Dialectics makes humans insane.

>>2498437>this hasn't been the mainstream view for decades now its outdated and simplified They sure base their religion around this tenet and insist it's totally that way, reality be damned.
If their theories had any merit you would be able to very trivially engineer life, much like a computer program is assembled. Fabricating all of the parts of a cell, even a clunky version of it, would make it possible to "prove the theory"… except life doesn't work that way and never did, and they don't know anything about anything. All of it becomes an obsession to find the "master weapon" or key that gives them Real Ultimate Power.
>>2498437>mendels experiments dont hold for the vast majority of traitsplease tell which traits you are thinking of and how Lysenko explained them better, I could use a good laugh
>outdated and simplified<never explains howpseud
>Changes happen for many reasons and one of this is interaction with the environmentCaused by the environment, as in radiotion or other mutagenic influences causing random mutations or are you saying that the genes react to environmental changes with specific mutations?
>Epigenetics does in fact mean organisms inherit acquired traitsHA! Called it. Epigenetics is about alterations to how the already existing genes are expressed. It doesn't change the DNA, it just changes which segments are transcribed. This doesn't create new genes it only reorganizes which pre existing genes are expressed. The creation of novel traits requires Darwinian Evolution.
>>2498530>Sex happened in every complex life-formThere are multiple vertebrates that can reproduce asexually. Besides allowing the spread of beneficial mutations, sex also helps to surpress the effect of harmful mutations, given that it occurs within a broad genepool with no or minimal imbreeding.
The british royal families history of hemophilia for example, is caused by a single mutation, that could have been completly breed out in a few generations, if it weren't for the incestuous tendencies of monarchs.
Another argument for the use of sex being the spreading of beneficial mutation is bacterial sex or conjugation. Single celled organisms don't reproduce sexually and yet many of them have evolved methods of exchanching their genetic material.
>DNA is residue. It's what comes after the cell forms, not what "causes" the cellI am afraid our current undertsanding of abiogenesis tells a very different story.
>If their theories had any merit you would be able to very trivially engineer lifeThe problem of purely synthetic life is not an understanding of life itself, it is rather the technical challenge of arranging a bunch of molecules with pin point accuracy. This field of research is also very controversial, due to its potential use in the creation of bio weapons.
>>2498690Dear god eugenics cultists believe they are always on the verge of discovering magic. You do not think about anything that is in front of you. It's insufferable and Satanic and disgusting.
Let me make this easier. You can "sequence a genome" very easily with current computers. If you had that, and all of this has been "decoded" for various animals, you would be able to predict what the material "does"… except the material doesn't do anything, because it's not a driver and never was. DNA is residue that is linked to the observed qualities that are more or less inborn (yet it can be "damaged" somehow because eugenist magical thinking). You have to say the effect is the cause to believe in this. It's pure circular thinking and insanity that this has gone on for nearly 100 years, and at the start there were scientists who knew this was a bunch of shit.
Heredity would basically be a non-issue if DNA worked that way, or if there were any "hereditary building blocks" that could be found. The material involved is generated from the father and mother "as they are" for each offspring, since everything the gonads do is active and responding to its real conditions rather than what they are "supposed" to do. The smallest sperm and egg are still living entities themselves rather than "information carriers". Conception is a real event, not a casting of some spell. And that gets back to why sex probably originated in natural history; that it came about in the first place because two compatible life-forms could cooperate in some deliberate way, rather than "meet randomly" as the eugenist theory requires for its claims about heredity to remain true.
>>2498749>satanic>eugenicsWhy accuse me of secretly having those ideological alignments? Why can't I just be wrong?
>except the material doesn't do anythingwatch this short vid, it will give you a quick primer on what the material is for
>You have to say the effect is the cause to believe in thisWhat came first, the chicken or the egg?
>it came about in the first place because two compatible life-forms could cooperate in some deliberate way, rather than "meet randomly"Like ensuring the distribution of beneficial mutations perhaps? Not sure what point you are even trying to make here, but who does sexual reproduction without courtship and mating factor into this? Many marine organisms like sea urchins simply release their reproductive cells into the water and let the current take care of fertilization. Plants also have no control over which plants their pollen will reach via wind or pollinator. And what about sexual encounters that aren't mutually beneficial for both parties. Many male arachnids are likely to be eaten by the female.
>>2498761Again, no idea what this means, but you have an amazing brain my friend, is there any social media I can follow you on?
>>2498690>and how Lysenko explained them betterthis was never claimed
>It doesn't change the DNAnor this
>The creation of novel traits requires Darwinian Evolution.not in dispute
>>2498749Very interesting points, I'm pretty ignorant about DNA and never even thought about it that way. I was always led to believe that DNA is "the fundamental building blocks of life" but an organism is not a machine assembled according to some blueprint; it is a natural formation that emerges as a result of a bunch of chemical reactions and interacting forces.
We talk about DNA being "damaged" i.e. undergoes mutation, but mutation is essential to what DNA is and how it works, the reason organisms can evolve is because DNA does not make a perfect exact copy of itself every time, it occasionally and randomly makes "errors" (a better word would be inconsistencies) in replication and thus we have complex evolved life. What causes things like cancer and birth defects is the same thing that makes life possible to begin with.
>>2498749>Writing in the New York Review of Books, Gould has characterized the gene-centered perspective as confusing book-keeping with causality. Gould views selection as working on many levels, and has called attention to a hierarchical perspective of selection. Gould also called the claims of Selfish Gene "strict adaptationism", "ultra-Darwinism", and "Darwinian fundamentalism", describing them as excessively "reductionist". He saw the theory as leading to a simplistic "algorithmic" theory of evolution, or even to the re-introduction of a teleological principle.[37] Mayr went so far as to say "Dawkins' basic theory of the gene being the object of evolution is totally non-Darwinian."[38]
>Gould also addressed the issue of selfish genes in his essay "Caring groups and selfish genes".[39] Gould acknowledged that Dawkins was not imputing conscious action to genes, but simply using a shorthand metaphor commonly found in evolutionary writings. To Gould, the fatal flaw was that "no matter how much power Dawkins wishes to assign to genes, there is one thing that he cannot give them – direct visibility to natural selection."[39] Rather, the unit of selection is the phenotype, not the genotype, because it is phenotypes that interact with the environment at the natural-selection interface. So, in Kim Sterelny's summation of Gould's view, "gene differences do not cause evolutionary changes in populations, they register those changes."[40] the claim in dispute is not a genetic one, but a question of selecting for novel traits. the mainstream view was that novel traits cannot be produced through human intervention. not that "genes react to environmental changes with specific mutations" but that species do, not individuals, but populations, and this technique can produce novel phenotypic variance useful to human needs.
the same principle debunks social darwinism, as survival of the fittest does not refer to individuals but species, that is again, populations.
where as the opposing side that lysenko was in dispute with claimed that one phenotype corresponds to one gene, a single sequence of DNA, and that novel traits can only be produced randomly by radiation of cosmic rays. this is obviously false on multiple levels.
the germline is not immortal and the weismann barrier does not hold. epigenetics IS inheritance of acquired characteristics. characteristics are phenotype expression, not genetic code. attempting to say that its not inheritance of acquired characteristics because the genes dont change is moving the goalposts. characteristics are still acquired through inheritance. the environment clearly effects heredity even if it doesn't change genes.
lysenko being broadly correct while wrong about certain specifics never meant we throw genetics in the trash and go full in on nurture being everything. i really hope we dont have supposed "marxists" coming in here hard on the side of genetic determinism in the nature vs nurture debate when its been clear for decades that phenotypic expression is determined by a dialectical(reciprocal if you prefer) relationship between the genome and its environment.
this has always been the critique of "bourgeois science" and why people say its eugenics. its not wrong because of a difference in preference for levels of abstraction but fundamentally wrong because it is reductionist. you can abstract at any level while accounting for reintegration into the whole but the impulse of bourgeois science is to do the opposite, to abstract objects and entities and individual parts completely isolated from the whole, for the purpose of quantifying them for accounting purposes as commodities for the market, and from this emerges a whole set of idealisms like "rational actors" and "rugged individuals" and other nonsense.
to conclude that inheritance is fundamentally random while remaining philosophically consistent you would have to exclude the possibility of social revolution.
>>2499002>the modern understanding of genetics does not refute lysenko. it confirms himany modern proof for wheat randomly turning into rye?
>>2499014>the mainstream view was that novel traits cannot be produced through human interventionSelective breeding has been around for thousands of years. This view was a mainstream as it can get.
>but that species do, not individualsA beneficial mutation doesn't just occur in all members of a species at once, it occurs randomly in individuals. If only there were a way it could be disseminated among the entire population within a couple generations…
>the weismann barrier does not hold>epigeneticsIf you want to debunk the weismann barrier there are better examples than epigenetics. Also epigenetics doesn't create novel traits, it only reactivates previously inactive genes and allows for this reactivation or surpression to be passed on to the offspring. It is very different from both Lysenkoism and Lamarckian evolution.
>lysenko being broadly correctyou can only believe this if you never looked into what his theories actually were
