Well, I mean, how many generations back have you interrogated people, though?

That would be an interesting thing to find out.

Well, I think we are in the middle of a real revolution in bringing an understanding of heredity to our health.

Because, you know, it is possible now for each of us to get all of our DNA sequenced, our whole genome, for a thousand dollars, maybe even a few hundred dollars.

I mean, you have to remember the first human genome project cost about three billion dollars.

And so it's a kind of revolution like what we see in computers and phones, you know, in terms of DNA sequencing and also DNA analysis.

And we have so much data now and use computers to develop really complex models that can take on all this complexity.

So I really do think that, like, in 10 or 20 years, medicine is going to be remarkably different.

It won't be any one single thing.

Eureka moment.

It's going to be the collective work of many, many scientists who are doing that work right now.

It's a really exciting time.

No, my pleasure.

My pleasure.

Thanks for having me.

We believe it's possible to extract enormous amounts of critical minerals and rare earths, which you know we need for technology and high technology.

It's like mostly blue, but then there's this subtle light blue. It's pretty funky.
