FYI for anyone interested in CRISPR. It works on one gene at a time, can't go into all cells in the body, and requires a guide RNA sequence (gRNA) to get into and affect chromosomal DNA in the first place. This means it will usually target one tissue type, expressing one gene type. Also, most chromosomal DNA is packed tight unless you're looking at specific cell types where specific genes are unpacked for use. Like myostatin related genes in skeletal muscle. It is feasible to have multiple gRNA versions of CRISPR active at once, but they'd need to be sent in at the same time because the immune system of the body targets CRISPR as the bacterial contagion that it is and learns to fight it. Long story short, you get a few individual genes permanently changed, or close to permanently changed, but you don't change whole regions, and you can only do it once or a few times before your body learns to tell CRISPR to go away. Also, it isn't going to pass the immune barriers in the brain or the eye ... not without serious consequences, and really it's unlikely without new research. Oh, and skeletal muscle ... good luck infecting all of that. It's tough to get into. I'm not saying this isn't a definite potential future, but it will probably require multiple generational refinements on CRISPR at the very least, and more likely totally different bacterial or viral recombinant techniques (CRISPR is a bacterium that can affect DNA in a recombinant (permanent) way, and there are also viruses that do this too. There are many types, and all known today have the same restrictions, more or less). Great way for a bunch of biotech companies to spin some marketing BS and convince some idiots in government agencies to invest, though.

[@stevoydtv7272]

Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to affect the fertilised ovum while the cells are still in the early stages and therefore have less defence against crispr?

Then again, you could wrap a genetic modification method up in lipid nanoparticles and inject it into the subject so that it gets delivered to most of the cells of the body, crosses the nuclear envelope and can, in some cases, get integrated into the genome by reverse transcription.

[@wendyparsons2980]

Can you describe in more detail the ultimate goals of projects with crisper? Is it health and wellness, or is control a more prominent component? I am genuinely curious bcz I have great hopes for Ai and the ability for humans to live peacefully with our planet, but illness does complicate existence. Although I also believe modern day human lifestyles have lead to many an illness, and some things we cling to, knowingly make us sick. So we tend to be our own worst enemies. That, and government lol I trust God and collective intelligence but hold very little faith in the masses. It will be something to see the part crisper might actually play in making things more balanced or if tipping power in one direction is more the objective.

[@NTJedi]

@@wendyparsons2980 Crisper and AI are tools the same as a vehicle or a gun. When controlled by good people then you will have good results. When controlled by evil people then you will have evil results. The world leaders today actively talk about reducing world population, actively choose to start wars and consistently hoard more and more of wealth in the world as poverty increases. So it's quite easy to predict the future results of Crisper and AI in the hands of world leaders today.

@@wendyparsons2980 One sample is look what Google did with its AI tool called Gemini... they literally designed the AI to be racist. Just because Google was caught as being racist... doesn't mean that racism within Google goes away.

As a retired scientist, I well remember the furore created by thIs Professor's gene treatment. The horror it engendered in the scientific community was for several very appropriate reasons: 1) He did not go through an ethics committee, as is mandatory for experimental treatment of humans, so basically he acted outside of permitted scientific boundaries, alone and without any kind of peer review; 2) he SAID he successfully carried out the therapy, but it is not known if he was really successful or not; because no independent checks could be carried out on his work because no one had known about them; and 3) there was grave concern that he might have made other genetic alterations to the twins, possibly deliberately, possibly inadvertently. How could anyone be sure of what he actually did? There was no way of finding out, because he never disclosed who the parents were, or where the twins could be found. So two humans with possible genetic mutations were at large in the world with no means of following them up. Just thought I would elaborate for you. Best wishes.

One of the companies taking CRISPR to new level is Beam Therapeutics. The original version of Crispr severed the DNA. Beam Therapeutics is doing something called base editing. It's like taking a pencil and editing single letters of the DNA strands rather than the old way which is like taking scissors to the DNA. The risk of damage or unwanted mutations is decreased.

@@clairehann2681 resilience, adaptability and strength comes out of figuring out how to co-exist and learn from others with various beliefs. Individuals might have a hard time agreeing but the growth of the human species in general thrives off of it over time. Exposure to differences allows the brain to make new connections. People who know more than one language are generally more intelligent and adaptable than those who are unilingual. Same goes for those who can understand multiple belief systems and still find value in all of them. There was a study that showed the fastest time of growth in humans was when they faced the most adversity in terms of harsh climate and extreme weather. That's when our brains grew the most because we were forced to adapt multiple times throughout a lifetime, develop new tools for survival, think through problems, build communities and get along with others with various skills/experiences/beliefs since that guaranteed our survival.

This video is actually a rip off a single chapter in a scientific book called "The Revolutionary Phenotype", but they skipped all the evolutionary parts of the theory since that would go over most people's head. Basically, the AI will end up farming us and we'll become like sterile workers of an ant colony with the queen being the AI, that holds decides our genes for the future generations. Once the AI starts self-replicating, a new life form will be born and the DNA lifeforms as we know it will slowly fade out of existence. According to the theory, this phenomenon has already happened before on earth more than once, and the last time it happened, the existing life forms were made of RNA (RNA World Theory). DNA was a subpart of the RNA storing the genetic code for the RNA, but once DNA started self replicating and evolving for itself, it took over its master, the RNA. The only lifeforms left from that era are what we now know as RNA viruses, which you can kind of think of theses viruses as the "imperfects" mentioned in this video.

I just pooped 💩

[@jerryblasingame8065]

Thanks!

[@TheWhyFiles]

Thanks, Jerry! Appreciate the generous tip.

[@AnonimitySmith]

Oh my gosh my favorite part of every episode is when Hecklefish strains his voice saying "dolls" when he pushes the plush doll plug! I love WF it is my most looked forward to part of the week.

[@underthetornado]

I like that part too

[@cosmo1eleven855]

You are easily amused but it's strictly a grade school thing. I find it to be dumb and an annoyance. Can't be the only one.

[@BURDYMAN777]

​@@cosmo1eleven855or maybe they just have a different sense of humor.

[@rudolphduplooy3835]

Also tinkles my fancy.

[@cherylfox6765]

Does anyone know whose voice is used for dear Hecklefish?

[@Rachel_M_]

I Rememeber when Brave New World and Gattaca were fiction, not instruction books...

[@DagenSkagen]

Or maybe they were trying to warn the masses about certain topics being discussed within the circles of influence that fund the movies they produced?

[@Rachel_M_]

@@DagenSkagen with Brave New world I'm referring to the book. I'm not going down the Huxley rabbit hole today though... There's enough out there about him already.

[@churblefurbles]

No need to go that far, all government policy is eugenics as it redistributes resources which affect fertility.

[@Mahlak_Mriuani_Anatman]

Who you thought made those books

[@Rachel_M_]

@@Mahlak_Mriuani_Anatman are you suggesting Huxley didn't write Brave New World. If so, be specific. Cryptic messages will get you nowhere....

[@terryburns6172]

Just remember, The Genie doesn't go back in the bottle.

Excellent point.

Copy that...and it's out!!!

It never does.

[@KingOfThePiratesOfTheHill]

George Bush allowed a law to pass in 2002 allowing them to steal all our babies genetic data. Just like that to be stolen to "fight domestic terrorism". It has already began.

[@KingOfThePiratesOfTheHill]

Not to mention "GINA" which he passed in 2008.
