It's true, but they are still fairly easy to injure.
Try forming a fist and then hitting with the outside edge of the hand instead of your poor little fingers.
Or learn from your ancestors and become a tool-using mammal. I understand milkshakes have a distinct fondness for fascists.
Shorter: "Let's assume that I'm a godling. I will definitely be an evil god. Here's how."
Genetically altering IQ is more or less about flipping a sufficient number of IQ-decreasing variants to their IQ-increasing counterparts. This sounds overly simplified, but it’s surprisingly accurate; most of the variance in the genome is linear in nature, by which I mean the effect of a gene doesn’t usually depend on which other genes are present
Contradicted by previous text in the same article (diabetes), not to mention have you even opened a college-level genetics text in the last decade?
Anyway, I would encourage these people to flip their own genome a lot, except that they probably won't take the minimum necessary precautions of doing so under observation in isolation. "Science is whatever people in white coats say it is, and I bought a nice white coat off Amazon!"
Is that actually true? Have they been audited? One problem with long-term storage is "long-term" is a thing that humans are bad at.
