Cell Biology Quiz


I myself was forced to call myself a molecular biologist because when inquiring clergymen asked me what I did, I got tired of explaining that I was a mixture of crystallographer, biophysicist, biochemist, and geneticist, and explanation which in any case they found too hard to grasp,” Francis Crick

How would you now describe yourself?

1. Simply speaking, I am a shamaniacal energy exorcist (and actual exorcist which is a job only a true Scorpio could really ENJOY), which is another way of saying I’m a mad genius artist healer philosopher mystic rebel crystal shaman whose taken to Vajrayana (tantric) Buddhism, yoga, writing, music and dance. You could get even more complicated (which is an occasional underpinning of a highly complex being) and say that my true self (without this Earthly body) is an ancient alien tantric cat warrior spirit from Sirius B who is just passing through Earth during this 3rd to 5th dimensional shift to code the grid and its inhabitants with novel and secret information to wake people the fuck up. My methods are many and my motives are vast. I believe in love, truthful wrath, and unconditional forgiveness. I’m like a ghetto Jesus as a foxy femme fatale.


Why might it be wrong to maintain that genes contain the information that specifies a human being?

2. When we say that DNA has the only role in specifying the information responsible for making a human being, we are mistakenly separating DNA from the rest of the organism’s autopoetic and interrelated network of interactions that comprises and composes the total human organism. Nothing in an interrelated autopoetic system is separated from anything else in the system. An organism does express certain qualities based on its genetic composition, but that DNA and genes aren’t the only factor in the different expressions and behaviors of cells and interactions in the holistic human being. The complex set of interactions.

How close do you feel we are to reaching a sustainable population level?

3. A large portion of the human race is going to have to die due to any number of causes, including but not limited to: nuclear fall-out, cancer, solar storms, ice age, starvation, and other geological, health, and government created disasters before the human race is anywhere close to reaching a sustainable population level. While human population is growing at a rate of 10,000 per hour, right-wing activists are picketing “Abortion is Murder,” signs, as if the human species is any more sacred than the hundreds of thousands of species our collective presence is helping to destroy completely. Humanity is responsible for causing at least half the creatures of Mother Earth to become extinct, creatures that are responsible for the diversity that keep ecosystems functioning. With hundred of species becoming extinct every year for the last 400 year since the Industrial Revolution, ecosystem services formerly provided by such species cause a loss of ecosystem services like recycling waste, providing fresh oxygen, food, clean water, new clothes, food to eat, and other crucial services that help sustain us.
