120 years old, and you're still producing new brain cells, here's the catch. If those brain cells are not engaged in a meaningful way within about seven days, they will atrophy and die. Because once again, our body functions on demand. Biology is looking for a reason to give us the features that we have.
So if those brain cells are engaged, or they're not engaged, then the body says, I guess we don't need these. And they begin to atrophy and die. So now here's what the psychology is showing. Artificial intelligence and virtual reality have been around long enough now that they can do studies. Psychologists are doing studies, young people. What they found is that young children
who have, say you're three years old, you wake up in the morning, eat a bowl of Captain Crunch, I guess, cereal, and then the parents sit them on the living room floor and put a virtual reality visor on to be entertained for the morning, and the parents go off and do their things.
But that's happening. That's happening. So the kids are sitting there for hours. Here's the catch. They're seeing things in that virtual reality that they would never see in real life in their backyard with their friends. They're seeing scenarios that would never, you know, they're not going to see dinosaurs walking through the backyard, probably.
They're seeing colors, intense colors, hearing the sounds. But the key is, it's all being done for them, Andre. They are simply observers of watching this happen rather than we were kids, we used our imagination. You would create a fort in the backyard or a fort in your living room by putting a blanket across the couch in the love seat. And to you or to me, man, that was a very real fort.
Parents might not have thought so, but we were engaging our imagination. So now the studies, the psychological studies are showing Children in that environment, they are stunted in their physical growth. They're stunted in the muscle growth. They're stunted in their cognitive abilities.
And their brain size is smaller, but their visual cortex is larger, which makes perfect sense because they're engaging the part of the brain that... is involved in the vision, but not in the creation and the creativity. So they're showing us now, sadly, these young, and that can be reversed because we are epigenetic beings.
They can begin restructure their lives and be taught how to be imaginative and creative. And they can reverse it. It's not for life unless they choose to have those limitations for life. But they're showing us what you're saying. And this is a perfect example. When we see that happening in the brain, that illustrates what happens in the entire body. It happens with sexual reproduction.
When we stop, we begin to use technology. Now, there are artificial wombs where women don't have to go through the pain. of carrying a baby. There are artificial wombs. The FDA will approve them within five years. Right now, they're using them with lambs successfully. And they use lambs because the blood and the brain structure of a lamb are so similar to humans.
So they can grow an entire lamb in an artificial womb, fur grows and everything. I don't even think you can call it being born because you don't come through a birth canal. I'm not sure what you would call it. And then part of the transhuman conversation is that human conception is so imprecise. You never know what you're going to get. But we can fix that. That's what they say.
Because we've got gene editing. We can gene edit fast twitch muscles for athletes or more IQ, greater intelligence, more IQ, or eye color or hair color. Now you get into the conversation, whose idea of perfection? do we really want to making those choices? And when we do, it's happening right now, as we do this outside of the body, the human body,
believes that it doesn't need to support conception any longer. And that's happening at a dangerous time in our lives because global fertility has fallen off a cliff. A lot of people don't know this. A lot of people believe I've had older biologists in their 80s who remember a book that was written in 1972 called The Population Bomb.
that there are too many people on the planet, not enough resources, and they're stuck in that mindset. That's not true at all. First of all, we have all the resources we need to feed every mouth of every man, woman, and child. No one should be going hungry or without. We have that. Right now, the replacement rate for human population is two.
Each woman who has reached puberty needs to produce 2.1 children to just maintain. And we have fallen below that. We are below that 2.1. So we will top out. If nothing changes, we're going to top out right around 2050, which isn't that far away. And after 2050, that's not good for us. And there are a number of factors.
There are hormonal disruptors in the environment that have been introduced to us in our water, in our food. Those are toxins. There are energetic factors that are happening, and it's both for men and women. The sperm is weak and the eggs are not always viable.
And even now, many women, I'm sure women listening to this realize that for a successful conception, sometimes it takes two or three miscarriages to get to that successful conception. And we're seeing more of that. So all of this is saying to us, that we have these systems that are built to be used. There's an axiom in biology, it's use it or lose it.
And we hear people joke about that as you get older with things like sex and things about your muscles and things like that, but it applies to everything in the body. Use it or lose it. If we allow technology to replace these natural biological functions, and many of them we take for granted, What happens is in one generation, we begin to decline.
Epigenetics passes that to the next generation, and we lose that part of our humanness, and it's already happening.
Well, they're still doing this. With cloning, a lot of people think we've got this down to a science. There is a science. I'm going to share why the cloning is broken, but I want to preface this. This is the way science learns. And this, once again, we've asked science to tell us who we are and we've asked science to serve us. Science can only do that if we keep science honest.
And if we follow the information and the discoveries to the place that they lead. So here's what's happening with cloning. Yes, Dolly the sheep was the first, was not the first clone, but was the first that was very publicly acknowledged and And Dolly, at first, when she was cloned, she looked like any other sheep. She acted like a sheep. She lived like a sheep. She conceived.
