But those people also play a role in society.

They can connect the dots real easy, and maybe sometimes they're making conclusions that might be not correct, but sometimes they find things that people that are really super, super analytical don't.

And so it's a good question because then you have to ask yourself, well, am I screening for a certain personality type?

And how is that going to change society, right?

I mean, because...

It's hard to draw that line.

And I know we're getting into these crazy ethical questions.

At the end of the day, I'm excited about healthier living.

I'm excited about, you know, yeah, like intelligence.

Again, how do you define intelligence?

Like that's a whole other question.

We do know some genes that are involved in intelligence.

One actually is called Clotho.

And that gene is also involved in living longer and protecting against Alzheimer's disease.

It's very interesting.

Some people have different variations of that gene that makes it more active.

And those individuals don't get Alzheimer's disease.

They do have a higher IQ.

They are smarter and they live longer.

And so there is an initiative now for some researchers that are really trying to make a type of clotho that people can sort of inject and take and get to the brain and help protect them from Alzheimer's disease.
