As others have already mentioned, proteins are the machinery of the cell. They perform an immense array of functions and they must fold in a certain way to perform these functions. This is part of what's known as the structure-function

What I don't understand is how you seem to be equating graffiti with gang violence. Removing a tag won't stop any violence because painting a symbol is not violence, even if it is tangentially related. That almost sounds like tr

There's a ton of legislation written by think tanks like ALECS It would be nice if all campaigns were funded by small donations. We should get large corporate donors out of politics

I said the symbols. Painted symbols can easily outlast the people who painted them, painted symbols existing is not an indicator of present danger. It's bizarre how you're conflating the two

Dangerous art? I wonder which groups of people called art dangerous in the past It's crazy how some people think painted symbols present a danger to humans somehow

The page also lists how Zimbardo demonstrated the principle by interfering with his "study" That's alongside numerous other critiques and criticisms which are generally more recent on the wikipedia page that we are commenting

Intent of the artist does not matter, art is subjective and the production of the system of many artists layering their works over time has a beauty in itself It's some seriously privileged classist stuff to make the claims that you&#x

Anecdote is not a study nor is it generalizable to a large population. Not to mention your "population" in this case is preselected from your own friend group

Graffiti art is beautiful, I think you have a great idea. Another perspective is that people do what they can afford to, murals can be an inexpensive way to brighten an otherwise bleak area.

Investing in communities gives people things to do. People can't invest when they're broke, throwing police at them does nothing to help, in fact it does the opposite. Also your comment makes it sound like literally all people are

Classist bullshit. Police the people who have the least money and time to fix things. Awesome, yea that's great for society. Put more pressure on poor people instead of just helping them.

I would argue that when it gets to being months, it's no longer procrastination. Maybe you actually just don't care about doing the thing? Maybe you're depressed?

I asked you to define your terms and you can't even do that, yet I'm the one who isn't interested in a discussion? Incredible

I'm impressed, all these comments yet so little substance. It must take quite a lot of skill to use so many words while saying nothing at all

The points being made in this thread seem to be flying over your head as your beat the drum of personal anecdote. That is not productive in a conversation about fixing a flawed system

You blamed interest rates in isolation You said nothing about zoning Also, zoning in its current form decreases supply so I have no idea where you get that from What I was "alluding to" is stated plainly in my original comment,
