Yeah, so I want to explain more of it, because this is real science that's coming that people should be aware of.

Because what they did is, really what they did is they took existing wolves, I think, I'm not sure if it was a timber wolf or a gray wolf, and they just added, they manipulated a few traits of it to take it in a dire wolf direction, and then they're hyping it as they brought the dire wolf back, because they're a Texas startup that wants lots of attention on themselves, because biological sciences.

But it does, raise the possibility, we are headed in the direction of being able to do this more and more. The thing they use to do this is called CRISPR, and it's basically a science we have that allows for gene editing. And what is coming eventually is CRISPR-edited human beings. We have the power, especially in utero, to...

We have the power, especially in utero, to...
to some extent manipulate the genes of of people who already exist so you can take a baby that is in utero and edit its genes to potentially change its eye color to on the positive ends you could manipulate its genes to take away some otherwise fatal or harmful genetic abnormality But obviously you'll also have it on the other end.

Could we be using CRISPR to make sure people come out with an IQ of 120 or 140 or 190? We could make sure they're 6 feet tall or 7 feet tall or 10 feet tall. Who knows? All of this is coming down the pipe, and it's interesting how...

The spin of we're bringing back an animal you thought was fictional is just sort of the leading edge of what will actually be an enormous social and scientific issue in the years to come. And I think there was a lot more attention on it before AI came and suddenly took over all of our ominous future technology vibes. But the future is coming very aggressively. Yeah.

I can't remember that one. I'm thinking of โ You know what I'm talking about, right? Remember we have the โ I'm mixing it up with a creature that might only be in Star Wars. The ancient megafauna I always think of is they have those giant ultra sloths that used to live in the Americas that are the size of a grizzly bear.

I can't remember the name of it, but I think it might have just been a giant sloth or super sloth. Didn't they have hairy rhinos? Oh, yeah.
