Thanks for this article! Fascinating. After I read it, I was trying to find out more about horizontal gene transfer aka jumping genes aka transposable elements aka transposons and came across this which (if you don’t already know about it) might be of interest: www.quantamagazine.org/dna-jumps-be...

This is how things started in Erdoğan's Turkey two decades ago. Owners censoring their journalists, then laying them off. Then journalists censoring themselves in fear of retribution.

If you listen to 1-2 Mindscape Ask Me Anything podcasts, you’ll learn at least 2 things: (1) When a question starts “Is it possible” the answer is “Yes, anything is possible, but the likelihood is” (2) If you want to ask Qs become a Patreon member of Mindscape for as little as $5/ month.
