It was your job to do all the research on" mind control by methylation".
I don't recall signing my free will over to you.

I'll put my full quote to you again ...
It was your job to do all the research on" mind control by methylation".
" DNA methylation is only one mechanism that APPEARS to be coordinated with histone modifications, particularly those that lead to silencing of gene expression.
Small noncoding RNAs such as RNAi can also be involved in the regulatory processes that form "silent" chromatin. On the other hand, when the tails of histone molecules are acetylated at specific locations, these molecules have less interaction with DNA, thereby leaving it more open."
Bottom line is there is no gene for gullibility or stupidity.
So to what gene silenced leads to naivety?

Ok, I'll bite.
If you know anything whatsoever about genetics and epigenetics,
then you know that there are often dozens of genes involved
with particular traits or behaviors. So for complex traits or
behaviors more than one gene would need to be affected or
silenced. Which can certainly be done.
But of course, you don't actually want that information.
Best wishes,

I'd like to ask you a personal question. You don't need to answer.
My question is this:
"What psychological need drives you to post in the way that you
do?"
A follow-up question if you will:
"What possible value does it provide to any person besides yourself,
for you to post in the way that you do?"
You will note, that I'm not judging or insulting you, I simply wish to understand
your behavior.
Be well,
KPB
Does this explain things? Or did I miss the mark about what you were thinking and feeling?

You missed the mark, I think.
On other threads I can't hardly make sense of what you're saying at times- most of the time- and you seem rather defensive and argumentative. Here, you have made your case in a very concise manner, and don't seem to care if others agree or not.
I meant no disrespect; I am making an observation, and complimenting you.

Actually The Gut answered this one. I don't need to re-invent
the wheel. Besides everyone knows that behavior is a result
of both nature (genes and epigenetics) and nurture.
However people who aren't very nurtured (and that includes
a lot of western civilization these days.. who are kids who
were raised by television sets more than parents) will often
default to nature.
I hope that clears things up.

Oh goodness.
When I was being molested or beaten, I did not attack my attacker
or think unkind thoughts.
I do not do attacks. I did not evade anything. I do
not play dishonesty games. I have no agenda.
Nothing to protect.
You are probably projecting.
Now, you may receive a 'sense of victory' by my doing this,
but I don't want to treat you like a child. So the only thing
I can do is to stop communicating with you on this thread.
Feel free to do whatever you wish to do on any of my
other threads.
Be well.

This technology (telling from the blood) could also help people courteract existing PTSD and help fine positive epi-genetic triggers as well.
I completely disagree.
I am afraid people cannot solve their emotional or mental problems through "paying professionals $$$".
They will actually have to face their negatives on their own inside of themselves and conquer them.
No other way has ever worked.
While epigenetic profiling could be a powerful tool for catching criminals and saving lives, there are as ever potential dangers. What if you had episodes in your past you wanted to hide? You might not worry about your doctor having access to you epigenome, but what about your life insurance company? Could they increase your premiums or refuse to insure you on the basis of what your epigenetic profile reveals? How would you like your employer or school to get their hands on this information?
“There’s a whole host of legal and ethical issues surrounding epigenetics,” says bioethicist Mark Rothstein of the University of Louisville School of Medicine in Kentucky, “but people are ignoring them for reasons I just don’t understand.”
In the UK and some US states, it is illegal to analyse someone’s DNA without their consent, but there’s nothing to stop you analysing their epigenome. It’s a similar story with discrimination by employers and insurers. The UK and the US (unlike Australia) have laws addressing genetic discrimination. “But there are no specific laws for epigenetics,” says Rothstein. “It’s very alarming.”
Rothstein think we need to ban non-consensual epigenetic testing. Then we can start to think about the beneficial uses of these tests, and build up the legislation around them. There’s a whole debate to be had. “We need to get it started.”
