#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

Because you understand...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

science is ultimately a human pursue so you cannot separate as much as maybe it's the best system that humans ever came up with to seek knowledge to generate and make sense of the world it works most of the time it doesn't mean it's perfect did the kind of translation do by the way was for scientific work i directly translated for scientific work yes i think that

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

Again, brains are equally distributed, but opportunities are not, right?

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

So if you...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

want to include if you want to benefit from all human power whatever we can generate as human beings you need to include everybody on the table and that is by extending the opportunity is i think most of us that make it tend to think that we did because of something special about ourselves and but it is important to know that no we were given opportunities and that's why we are here not because

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

there was something inherently special about us or that the system truly selects for the ones that really are.

Yeah, language is an opportunity because it comes with similar to bacteria, right?

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

They speak these languages.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

Even we call culturing the bacteria.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

We call it culturing, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

When we grow bacteria that we isolate from the environment in the lab.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

Meaning that you create an environment for them to grow and thrive and sustain themselves.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

That's what we say, but culture is for microbiologists.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

With language comes a different culture, a different perspective.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

And you bring that to the table.

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

I mean...

#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

It brings the sense of diversity that can only be achieved by clashing perhaps two different cultures, two different languages, two different approaches, maybe in some cases four different approaches.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

Yes, and I think that, so when I said science is like a language itself, I said it in two different ways.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

One is very literal meaning, that you can speak English, but that doesn't mean you will understand the scientific paper.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#350 – Betül Kaçar: Origin of Life, Ancient DNA, Panspermia, and Aliens

It's a different level of English that you need to learn to understand.
