    the cell’s ribosomes will transcribe mRNA into a protein. It’s a little bit like an executable file for biology.

    Also, because mRNA basically has root level access to your cells, your body doesn’t just shuttle it around and deliver it like the postal service. That would be a major security hazard.

    I am not saying plieotropy doesn’t exist. I’m saying it’s not as big of a deal as most people in the field assume it is.

    Genes determine a brain’s architectural prior just as a small amount of python code determines an ANN’s architectural prior, but the capabilities come only from scaling with compute and data (quantity and quality).
