Monsanto sorta monopoly on that. Largely for reasons of the folks doing seed development having been more or less effective dissidents. I suspect much of the percieved selectivity of the consumers is applied marketing.

monsanto but i don't give a fuck about 'gmo' and i sure as fuck don't want to see homeopathic crud in the shop'
BingoBoingo: That plus a little bit
Monsanto 710 (apparently 710 is replacing 420 among anglotards because instead of smoking week they vaporize
Monsanto weed oils like crack)

Monsanto in the same way Linus and the men alone invented their own Microshit
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's what the kids who weren't good enough to hussle on the corner call themselves when they work slinging redditized
Monsanto behind a counter

a111: Logged on 2014-10-14 15:14 mircea_popescu: the entire "
monsanto increases yields" fallacy is based on the fraudulent proposition that shit-tomatoes are = tomatoes.
mircea_popescu: agricultural supremacy ~= john deere (THAT is a place "self-driving" has utility btw) +
monsanto genetic "engineering":
BingoBoingo wonders if
Monsanto has found a mesotrione resistance gene
BingoBoingo: I've also been looking into starting a
Monsanto and marketing "Priviledge" as the banner product.
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-14: [13:37:03] <asciilifeform> 'German chemicals giant Bayer has confirmed its record-breaking $66bn takeover of GM seeds business
Monsanto - a deal that would create the world's biggest seeds and pesticides company.'
BingoBoingo: Anyways Bayer upped its bid to 62 bn USD for
monsanto BingoBoingo: Nah, Bayer pretty much has to buy
Monsanto hanbot: <BingoBoingo> ^ Qntra Farm Report is back! Eat Moar
Monsanto! << is there anti-
monsanto graffiti in the us, btw? common theme here. also, "go home obama", from a few months ago.
mircea_popescu: but as per our discussion of
monsanto, if your idea of "innovation" in humanities is alligned with "absolute first", you can't even PERCEIVE humanities, let alone meaningfully interact with em.
mircea_popescu: in another view, what's nailing
monsanto is called "so you thought you were smart, eh ?". heck, plants've been here a while. odds are whatever random unwashed derp in our colonies comes up with, they've seen before.
BingoBoingo: Still, the point remains Argentina's only strategy is to void the
monsanto glyphosate resistance patents locally
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah,
monsanto is very much apple'd. the original idea seemed promising, in the 90s. sometime years ago, dunno exactly when cuz they've been keeping it secret and i never cared that much, they found out it's a doomed entreprise. ever since then... MON's been pretty much a stock scam.
BingoBoingo still wonders why
Monsanto hasn't been digging for Diquat decomposing bacteria to make a wunderwaffen
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "genes
Monsanto claims title travels" << claims title to ?
mircea_popescu: nice qntra btw. and yes
monsanto is fucked - the projections were for weed resistance to appear in centuries. it showed up within a coupla short decades. this puts the practical utility of their "genetic research" in serious doubt. in fact they've closed down most "general" projects, focusing on a coupla more promising line, after which it's ~the end.
BingoBoingo: ^ Qntra Farm Report is back! Eat Moar
Monsanto!
BingoBoingo: Just because all the marketing is behind
monsanto and glyphosate doesn't mean there aren't cases where a diquat is phine too.
ascii_butugychag: it necessarily appears. if not
monsanto, then dow chemical, or somebody else.
ascii_butugychag: in that light
monsanto is just a devil conjured up by the premise.
mircea_popescu: so would you be happy if we move on from "genetically engineered" to "
monsanto engineered" ?
ascii_butugychag: to frame the conversation as being particularly 'about genes' is a deliberate and carefully-constructed memetic gambit by
monsanto et al
BingoBoingo: <ascii_butugychag> i can't walk into a shop and buy 'gmo food', i can buy crud soaked in
monsanto herbicide << this
ascii_butugychag: i can't walk into a shop and buy 'gmo food', i can buy crud soaked in

monsanto BingoBoingo: Well, most american food is laced with the sugahs. Even the meats and breads. A lot of it is the sugahs that don't respond to insulin (fructose). Add vidya games. Add

BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> "ts fields could yield $200 million per year if those crops are sold, even at the cut rates paid on black markets. And how do you conduct airstrikes on farm fields?" << easily, call
monsanto BingoBoingo: Sugar+water+gelling agent+chemical flavor also from
monsanto BingoBoingo: straight glucose from
monsanto burns just fine. Marathon runners consume gelled satches of it which they litter their ritual grounds with.
assbot: Logged on 19-11-2015 15:24:00; asciilifeform: for some reason i am reminded of 'farmer's market' sc4mz0rz who load up on
monsanto garbage at the big box shop and then resell 'organic tomatoez!!111' to chumpers

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-10-2015#1294670 << without having to perform any necromancy or wield crystal ball, i can tell you how it will go - precisely like the pharma pain of 1990s-present, where a corp is bought (present-day
monsanto shares nothing at all with the
monsanto that sold the first LED) - and 'useless eaters' like r&d folk are sacked to pad shareholder pockets

BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Seriously what the fuck is Dupont compared to
Monsanto mircea_popescu:

thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: "As such, I would find it absolutely essential, in order to take this question to its logical conclusion, to murder everyone in my constituency extant and to replace them with an army of sterile maleviii clones (perhaps with the help of
Monsanto because I hear they’re pretty good at this sort of thing), whom will be raised by robot nannies, so as to control for the differences between parenting qualities and s
BingoBoingo: <punkman> why don't they have a piss-funnel for the driver? fill it up during the 8 hours of commuting. << Biologic piss isn't good enough. Need special

monsanto or abandoned today << Please point me to 50 US acres that are truly abadon. No "owner" no renter, no Sheriff.
decimation: those 50 acres are either owned by
monsanto or abandoned today
BingoBoingo: decimation: Too be fair Kentucky isn't "flat" enough for intentive
Monsanto'ing
pete_dushenski: funkenstein_: to the extent that the federal reserve is a counterfeiter, they most certainly control food (
monsanto) and bedding (housing bubble)
