Tom Clancy is Dead posted:Nassim Taleb trying to answer the question of just how many fields he can be wrong about in a single essay: It's amazing how self-described top philosopher Nassim Taleb switches from a matter-of-fact argument about minority choices or something to a rant about how GMO shills are stupid and evil. Maybe he should get himself hired by Vice.

I have a basic science logistics question. How are people in these underground or independent labs disposing of waste?

If you are near larger cities you pay a company, if not then you better have a high efficiency furnace in your garage. GMO by itself is easy to make safe and dispose of, it is all those other additives such as metals, some antibiotics and strong bases/acids that usually require more care.

You could just go for one of the bleach-inactivated antibiotics, makes it nice and easy to make safe in one step. Though again, if you're an ~underground 1337 bio hax0r~ your disposal probably consists of a drain and a lack of inspections, maybe with a

Does anyone know where to start looking for data on the environmental impact of small vs large scale agriculture? I know I've read about it in this thread before but I'm drawing a blank.

I know I've read about it in this thread before but I'm drawing a blank. Google Scholar is always your friend. Start there. The real problem is defining "environmental impact". Are we speaking of biodiversity and if so, on what scale? Are we speaking of fuel and economic costs? Or maybe macroeconomic food supply chain? Say, we're speaking of biodiversity. The habitat heterogeneity loss in cultured lands is linked to negative biodiversity development in practically all measures - areas with larger single unit size support diversity than a patchwork of smaller-scale units. This isn't surprising at all and is pretty much the null hypothesis (you are separating the different patches with ever larger matrix of mostly unsuitable habitat). However, if you start to look at things such as food production efficiency, you run into a thing where local and regional biodiversity loss might be compensated by reduced overall environmental factor - depending wholly on your personal assesment and values.
