I have a degree in chemistry and I can fact-check this post as true and that Eliezer is, at best, drawing up bad analogies and most likely just completely misunderstands chemical bonding in biology.
I also think most people with a high school knowledge of chemistry and biology would have been able to figure this out with a bit of thinking; I’d like to think I would have if I had known Eliezer had been writing this. I thus am a bit disappointed that this wasn’t pointed out sooner.
