And I don't think, and I know for a fact that most of the world isn't aware that we've actually already created single cell life.

It exists.

The paper, the seminal paper on it came out three years ago.

So we now have fully functioning synthetic cells, which are created with nanotechnology and some of those, and I could get in the weeds on what that nanotechnology is, which I can self-replicate.

And so what this means, if you step back and what this means... Wait, so man has created life?

Technically synthetic, yes.

Well, that's a whole philosophical debate.

And...

And there's also synthetic cloning now.

So you can have an agent if you know exactly a pathogen or a cell, and some of this isn't advanced.

So if it's a more complicated cell type, for example, you might not be able to replicate that, but you can now synthetically generate

a virus to match the virus.

And so what that means is you don't have to have the actual virus.

You don't have to collect a sample anymore.

You can just have the code and you can generate it.

That's where we are now.

Right.

And that's for viruses.

I believe we'll be there in the near future with bacteria.

And with synthetic life though, you can generate very radical things because what this means is
