Great comment!

I'm optimistic in the space of biology and biotechnology though. People are doing actual SciFi shit right now. We've got CAR-T tech, CRISPR that's trivial to deploy, monoclonal antibodies, mRNA tech, microbiome science, DNA sequencing that is mind-blowingly good, large scale computational analysis and machine learning that's decoding the noise of our genomes, rapid detection of pathogens with a MALDI-TOF, to just name a few.

It's an insane time in biology right now, and it's the current frontier along with computer science/ML.

It's great that the field of biology (and medicine) are having new developments. I hope that the discoveries become more widespread though, because I do not want Peter Thiel to live forever while grandma has to die of a preventable disease at 75. I heard about Joe Rogan talking about "just treating covid with monoclonal antibodies" which feels indicative that some of this shit has already been made available to the rich, and fucking no one else.
