A mate of mine had a sister who did her PhD in genetics in the early 2000s.

She went to a rally of stupid hippies, just to see if they had anything to actually say with their protests about whatever they were upset about at the time (Facebook and stuff didn't exist then)

After they ranted and raved about how genetic modification was terrible, and jerked each other off, she put her hand up and asked if any of the unwashed crowd could tell her what the letters in DNA stood for

Silence. Not one of them had a fucking clue what they were actually arguing about

Kinda a stupid gotcha to gatekeep with. Ask about a basic function such as “what are the 4 bases” and turn it into a teaching moment.

They weren't there to learn

They were there to slap each other on the back for being part of a group that feels a sense of superiority

That, and unwashed hippies are fucking stupid, so good luck teaching them anything
