Erst kamen sie für die Synagogen.
Dann für die Kirchen.
And zuletzt für die Universitäten.
Would be cool to see that Roman Catholic Religious Orders like the Teutonic Order, the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre, or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta take an active interest in longevity science and medicine.
Hinton got it wrong.
It’s actually okay if it has the desire and wants to kill you.
It just must not be able to kill you.
In the case of the tiger this means chaining it, pulling its teeth, and taking off its claws.

I’m convinced 95% of being a high performer is to just do 5 things:
- Be obsessed like a psychopath
- Have delusional optimism
- Avoid unserious people
- Take asymmetric risks
- Be relentless
Hope we will also get war mammoths to secure land border, and war whales to secure sea borders.
JUST IN: Palmer Luckey's genetically modified military dog startup, Warhound, comes out of stealth, aiming to create enhanced canines for the U.S. military.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is NOT Palmer's company at all, his company Anduril is only supplying the tech for the dogs, and this is a wholly owed Collosal entiity

It’s a great day for science without boundary.
At any given time in civilizational history we should fully lean into what science is capable in accomplishing.
The markets then will price it accordingly and and see if it’s wanted.
Colossal Biosciences’ founder has started a new venture to create new bio-enhanced military dogs in collaboration with Anduril’s Palmer Luckey forbes.com/sites/amyfeldman/…

Enhanced animals are a pretty good start to get to enhanced humans.

Now can self custody your startup.
We are live.
If you're in town worth checking out if you're interested in longevity and jurisdictions that try to accelerate progress!
If you're in Singapore and want to learn about Montana's new Right to Try program, I'll be hosting an event on October 26th!

The real issue is that academic institutions are getting involved in personal lives.
If you’re an adult you’re free to date whoever you want. Be it strangers, friends, or colleagues. As a grown up you shall reap the good as well as the bad of it.
Any workplace policy that gets involved in someone’s love life is overstepping.
A Massachusetts jury has awarded biologist David Sabatini $6 million—plus interest—in damages in his defamation case against Kristin Knouse, a former colleague at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research.
The physician-scientist’s claims led one research institution to fire Sabatini and precipitated his resignations from Whitehead and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was a tenured faculty member.

That may be very powerful for science!
China has selected its first group of young researchers to receive funding for up to 15 years, in one of the longest research grants on offer to scientists globally

"The most valuable thing in the industry is data on how the human body will respond."
@impetusgrants' round on datasets enabling AI to reason about aging and disease will fund ~50 projects to proactively get this data ready for new models.
>9/15M raised, tell your friends to donate so we can get going.
Dialectic 60: Patrick Hsu!
@pdhsu & @arcinstitute are combining biology, engineering, and AI to turn a sci-fi future into reality.
Patrick got expelled from college at 13, returned at 15, later worked on early CRISPR breakthroughs, and teamed up with @SKonermann & @patrickc to found Arc.
He works 3 jobs: core investigator at Arc, professor at Stanford, and venture partner at @thrivecapital. For all his intensity and ambition, he carries a lightness and boldness that is contagious.
We discuss:
- why research is 99% failure and even your best ideas kind of suck
- infinite games and speedrunning school
- the reach of GLP-1s and power laws in biotech
- what makes a good biologist
- Arc’s bet on people over projects
- lab robots that finally work
- AI-designed organisms and new forms of life
- why heart disease could go the way of infectious disease
- bro science, peptides, and biofuturism
- research taste in the age of AI

This is the Amber Heard type who destroyed David Sabatini’s life and career. He may have gotten a big judgement against her from the jury, but he will likely have to fight to see even a penny of it.
Meanwhile she gets to continue her illustrious career at MIT as a prof with her own lab.
Disgusting.
Instead of using European money for war efforts or lifestyle NGOs that embezzle money abroad Europe should spend 100 billion dollars on AI & data infrastructure.
