Investing isnt gambling because if you had all the knowledge of the world, you could guarantee to “win” every single time. Its practically just predicting the future. While gambling, is pretty much a random event, some games may allow for some prediction (such as card counting), but casinos ussually thwart that by constantly introducing more randomness.
Thats the same analogous for selective breeding. You have some idea what could happen, because at the very least you know the offspring will a random selection of genes from their parents, but you can never predict which genes. But in genetic engineering, you know exactly what genes you’re targeting, and how and where those genes will be expressed.
Actually I’d say that investing is gambling, and selective breeding is a form of genetic engineering.
