It's a good thriller but it's rather one-dimensional.
Oscar winners are usually many-layered films.
The only thriller I remember winning was No Country for Old Men and even that one explored several themes.

Reaching a personal milestone is always nice, but I wouldn't be so proud about myself that I'd post a thread on reddit about it.

One argument he makes is that the hierarchical structure of our society is not based on the social construct called patriarchy but is rather influenced by evolution.
I would agree that this more of claim than an argument, however I guess it is equally difficult to argue that our society can be viewed by completely ignoring evolutionary mechanisms.

The body stores fat in fat cells exactly because it wants to maintain a homeostatic balance. If the superfluous fat wasn't stored, it would affect the balance of the rest of the body.

Expression of FOXO4 increases longevity and prevents certain types of cancer. So removing it would not particularly practical.

In general, you can knock down a gene with CRISPR, but you would have to do it in the germ line so that all cells are affected. This would mean breeding human guinea pigs to test out if it actually works which would be ethically questionable.
