It's interesting to consider that humans are computers made from DNA too.

No idea why people are downvoting you .... it's not like this is a far out statement. People get offended when I just call us "meat computers".

And most of the other top-level comments express the same sentiment as mine but at a later time. It’s definitely not worth trying to understand the whims of HN voting.

If DNA is code, surely your nervous system is macrocode?

"If DNA is code", set a scenario from which a deduction was made. Denying the scenario, is noise.

Making irrelevant if-statements that reinforce bad science stereotypes and further confuse laymen is worse than noise. Imo
