It must be a bit annoying to have everyone start by referencing your brother (his comics are too damn good), but when I saw this AMA I thought of polystates. I'm curious what you think about the idea of a distributed government system like a polystate, liquid democracy, or even forms of anarchism (anarcho-synidcalism speficially)?

So what is the deal with GMO safety? At the chemical level, I've never heard a good argument against GMOs. They seem pretty safe for consumption. But the idea that GMO crops could have negative impacts on local flora and fauna seems very plausible. We might accidentally screw up a natural system. Is there any robust research about this?
