Oh, a few more hands. We're Upregulation of certain genes in plants causes an increase in growth and photosynthetic efficiency, greater drought tolerance, greater salinity tolerance. It grows fast and it grows big. We're really wonderful at burning things down, but really shit at growing things. It's a mash-up of permaculture techniques but without the hippy nonsense. It's like from the sugarcane industry, without the boot stomping in your face. +Aloza is amazing. It caused a snowball earth event in geological history. I'm not saying you should do this, you should totally not cover the great lakes in a microfern that doubles it mass in 8 days, and it would suck carbon out of the atmosphere like a giant vacuum. That would be super irresponsible, don't do that. + +The number of people on the planet isn't the problem. It's that y'alls are stupids. Have less stupid babies. The thing is, I don't think I'm in the top 2.5% of the long tail of the bail curve. Stupid means almost everything in that 95 percentile. There's been people talking about community building: hwy don't we work on developing communities where greed is no longer useful? You don't have to be good at biohacking, you can be good at other things and that's okay. + +Q: How should patients reach your glybera? + +I did one test, and your question is when it is going to patients. That's super irresponsible. I don't have a plan. I need more data. I can't even responsibly say that it works, with just my one data point. We're so far away, not in a 13 years of clinical trials type of way, but I'm just one person with a set of data points. It's totally irresponsible for me to say "well I got some good data, I guess the next step is to inject someone". That's not how it should work. I think that's part of the problem. We're so frantic to get away from the regulatory systems that already exist that we're running hard in the opposite direction into Mad Max yeah I'm just going to-- in 3-5 years I'm going to be stabbing all sorts of people? It doesn't make any sense man. I need more data. I don't know. + +Q: If the data is good, what are you going to do? + +I'd like to work with the FDA. There's pre-existing infrastructure that allow you to do this. + +Q: No, I mean you personally. You were complaining about masturbatory projects. + +I'm going to hand it over to someone way more competent at scaling and then walk away from the project. That's not what I do. So once we get better data, someone else can have it and run with it because that's not my job. I do research. + +Extinction events are usually 95% all species die. If you think you're going to be in that 5% that doesn't die, you're insane. We have killed off 80% of the fish, intersects and the terrestrial mammals. The data speaks for itself. Does anyone here remember driving a car 40 years ago as a child, and how you had to stop at a gas station and clean off the windshield? It's not required anymore. Those insects are gone. It's different now, and you know it. Things are bad. We should acknowledge that. + + |
