The exact same thoughts occurred to me especially at 1:07:05 into the video. This being said 4 years ago and reflecting on all that is happening and hearing......well... I don't know what to believe and what not to.
Your a very smart person to make that observation I wander who funds these projects and were was there first ecoli /samples was found my wildest guess (a blood bank from the Caribbean west indies) spells covid to me.😎
The effects of weed are real "brain training" which is considered as in opposition to programmed intelligence the effects of such considered bad politically along with other aspects that are economic.
Was never experienced here as this was show where a village idiot asks the biochemical engineers stupid questions about things that the engineers half ignore and slip in interesting and relevant comments here and there not a documentary.
I don't know why people think the host is dumb, I personally think his style of asking questions was exactly how they should be asked. I as a computer science student didn't feel like "crap I didn't take high school biology so now I don't know what the fuck they're talking about". I was able to follow along perfectly. There is no need to include sophisticated terms when this talk is meant to be shown to the general public. If you want sophisticated stuff go to a university and learn there. This is what an introductory course to English is to Shakespeare.
It is obvious that this needs to discussed at a non-technical easily understood level, and the panel is capable of doing that without the constant distractions of the moderator's bad analogies and misdirections. It prevents the discussion from being educational.
Dion Miles I find your comment intriguing. My curiosity is getting the beter of me. Would you indulge me for a moment and comment on what you think of the idea of bringing back an extinct species like a mammoth? Also a comment on the reasoning of those who might have an opposing view to your own would be highly appreciated too.
We criticize because us in the other 95 percentile went to elementary school and learned this. You don't need high school biology. So why do we have to be annoyed because it's geared to the lower 5 percentile that you are in. If he was a good host he would lead the question and then the scientists would explain the whole thing at one time. The conversation would move fluently forward instead of one step forward two steps back. It's all his asking for yes and no questions instead of the scientists answering in summary. The lady scientist on this is so frustrated at how stupid he is. He keeps looking away and laughing. He should just ask the question and not give the question in a multiple choice type style.
Most enthralling in terms of the accomplishments of our Terran Earth Human Scientists to date. It was heart warming to listen to the Engineer who tried t steer a pathway that allows for Genetic Engineering and its creation to to not be distanced from Nature but in a sense to complement and work with it.
Excellent host. I enjoyed very much learning the specifics on how they order genes and put them together, makes things less abstract, I know it's simplified, doesn't matter, the framework and the imagery it provides gives me an easy platform to deal and know of these topics without becoming a specialist.
Nicely put. I am a layperson whose vocation is very, very separated from anything like the fields of biology and physics, yet I now find these topics endlessly fascinating. So, being able to watch a lucid conversation such as this is manna from heaven.
Identical twins are still 2 separate beings, although very alike. I think there is a problem with the soul of a being. In a human being is this invisible energy, I don't think you can duplicate.
Science denies all the evidence linking biology of life to models of reality that would include thing like how cells coordinate, how the nervous system works, how consciousness works, what and how the soul works/what it does... the men who began to investigate these things were discredited, silenced, and/or killed (Tesla and Wilhelm Reich). There is no intelligent way to address thd title of this video without a model that explains these aspects. Things all life demonstrate, yet denied by science.
@@stevenborgogna you put that in your phobias and sing songs, write books, you tell your neightboor about it and you dream about it. Soul is nothing, what they are calling soul is just something not very well known yet. But it's not ''sacred nor magic.''
MMM.. anonymous ordering of a dead DNA cell - now I wonder where do all the aborted baby cells go to. You transcribe this dead DNA strand with a live strand. MMM you already did that - its called HIV.
carbon. organic life. but we have more oxygen than carbon. dioxyribonucleaic acid. Trippy. isn't it? Adesine/A, Guanine/G molecules and two more. it has been a long time since highschool.
You said it right to the point!But being that there all so entertaining,& everyone wants to be in a horror flick!Here's their big chance.It's just an internet link away!Crazy 4 Real!!
I like how all the doctors are so serious all the time and the guy who is conducting the interview is cracking little jokes here and there I think it makes everyone watching this a little bit more interested in the subject because it's not so dull and boring to watch, well I'm my case anyways.
Actually no. They don't need to be humble as they are extremely intelligent and their abilities are in the top %0.1 of human population. And your pathetic sarcasm just makes you look sad. And yes, you would be a chimp if you had to be at the side of any of them.
I think the moderator did a good job and was properly combative sometimes the subject matter was dense and highly decisive. Good job by all five on the stage overall.
@MrMegamike420 not listening, apparently. But you did also miss the point that homebrew genomics is a real thing, and a lot of what they glossed over relates to cost and accessibility. Were you listening?
I listened to the whole thing from beginning to end. I even played back a few parts 3X. You're right, they did not mention the word CRISPR when doing gene insertions.
@@unstablegenius2325 just like the force is worse than Lucifer that just now told you to say just like Jesus that is pure blasphemy from you to even suggest Jesus is from the Earth
So is that what you're calling man now a living soul organic? And it looks like you have an audience now who took it a step higher or should I say lower claiming that it's organic virgin Earth and another below that claiming Jesus is from the Earth well don't stop now write the rest of the story that shouldn't be too hard for you as anything comes off the top of your head you can tell it as history truth and you say it loud enough long enough and big enough all will believe won't they so giddy up start your creation of the creator and call the book The Bible as has been done for centuries up on centuries omitting 77 stories already as you rewrite the Bible you can also decide what will be left in it as you add more simple as that and all will believe
@@LM1970ful I watched the entire video and I totally geeked out. Yes what that researcher would NOT DO - skip to 1:07:00 - very interesting! Even more eye-opening when he said how genetic researchers DID create polio virus that escaped and then had to generate algorithmic designs for the vaccine against the pathogen they just created! Exactly what happened. Listen back 1:07 onwards.The truth is all P4 labs world wide play with viruses and bacteria all the time. Of course Fauci and others consider this medical progress and an intellectual challenge and try to pass it off as research. The create the pathogen, ah just in case they have to fight it someday. Hey let's look up this polio virus thing...see what you can dig up.
@@kodysmessedup first, you know nothing of me personally, so you have no reason to curse at me. just shows your lack of intelligence. second, being a conspiracy theorist isn't at all negative in my book. so, if that was meant to be an insult, you missed the mark. last, I feel bad for ppl as low vibrational as you appear to be.
@@adventureswithwool-johanne7755 yep! watched the whole thing and was layering my thoughts with the other bits of info around this topic. Now, watch Human Nature on Netflix to see George Church regarding this subject some more. That doc is VERY eye opening as well. Not everyone can put this all together but those of us able to will get the full story just by watching these two thjngs.
Yeah, they look uncomfortable being there. It's painful to watch a person with so little knowledge trying to control a discussion by people far smarter than him. All that snarky commentary on human apocalypse is so immature and unnecessary. We are building custom organisms and in the future custom people. It's like he missed the train several years ago on that topic.
@Jessica Lynn He could do a much better job. The way he presents himself in conversation among these esteemed gentlemen is cringy and ignorant. I was disgusted by his jokes which were in poor taste. I wouldn't want to sit for hours talking with that guy next to me.
True. Actually we just take from here take from that material that has the same physics and material om the human. We just make cloning human with arifisial body. I hate to say that because it is not interesting anymore 😑. I need to see human consciousness transferred to computer.
Lots of love and respect from India. I like this type of festival as I am the student of Bio-Technology. It's help us a lot in getting the ideas of our field.
Science is a single, international language. Like building the tower of Babel, they are trying to reach God status. As was spoken: 6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. You all know what will happen next. All it will take is some nimrod scientist to arrogantly start building so-called superhumans to reach up to God status, all out of DNA bricks. Lololol! This type of science is still scifi, thankfully. But if allowed to advance, unchecked, without restraint?! It could happen if civilization were to collapse into a free for all; somewhere in a scientific bunker, where ordinary humans cannot leave the confines of such a place due to toxins, perhaps?
Maybe the host is a product of synthetic biology gone wrong and the title of the video is esoterically posing the question "It's Alive but is it Intelligent?".
May not be in the industrial since. But is in a godlike light since, to smart can be man's down fall. Many dogs are smarter.smater just enough to keep it simple.stupped.?
All I know is the more I know the more I know .I know I don't know ,at least I know enough to know that I don't know ,and I'm still teachable and w ant to know more and more . I wish I could know in my sleep .or is that the only y time I do know .I just don't know.?
Drew Endy’s words from 1:08:50 was the best part of this conference: Where is the telos… What might our aspirations be… Maybe if we changed our interphases between us and rest of the planet, we could figure out how to flourish and have partnership with nature. We could be transitioning from living on earth to living with earth… I don’t want to industrialize biology, I’d like to biolagize industry... We should be able to pull it off…
I liked the “take the car apart and put it back together” analogy. I am very good at that. Some speculation that this may even be a genetic propensity as my children, brothers, father, uncles, greats, etc are all very good at this too. A lot of engineers and scientists in my families. I taught myself as a young child by getting broken equipment from the town dump and fixing it. I became a scientist, engineer, Inventor and entrepreneur. Like many in tech I “retired” to farming which is fascinatingly complex and cross discipline. I look forward to “garage” sequencing. 🙃
You can get one from Dr. Eric Poeschla when he's finished with them. If they are male and female then hey, it might even be a tidy sideline for him. They are used in the study of feline aids.... (Sure you want one now that you know that?)
This is so fascinating. A group of scientists have actually synthesized life. This technology is developing so rapidly, that is biology and creating life, that in my life time there are going to be debates on whether or not we should DESIGN NEW CREATURES.... It's the Universe becoming self aware and now trying to make an other self....
One of the qualifying traits of a living thing is the ability to reproduce on its own so I don't think they're quite there yet in fact viruses aren't even alive and that would be why you can't kill them you just can't kill something that's not alive. They're not there yet I'm not real convinced they should be trying that hard with the very limited understanding they bring to bear on the task as I'm sure when they finally do successfully achieve synthetic life it will probably have all kinds of issues and suffered dearly and in the end end up euthanized no doubt and I can't really think of a good reason why we would need to create life when we can readily manipulate already existing life now and we've been doing that for at least a couple of Millennia through selective breeding but you know how people are once they get it in their head and fixate on it it's a done deal at least until there's proof of concept and a couple of failed attempts that makes them rethink their reason for wanting to do it
They're a lot closer to having artificial intelligence and they are artificial life but the same problems applied to both it's not well enough understood to not potentially screw things up pretty bad in particular with AI we might only have one shot to get that right so there's really no reason to rush no reason at all
Wait... what??? Isn't it a little stretch to go from synthetic life to omnistic theology within one breath? Bro, just take a genetics 101 course, youtube is your friend here.
the host can't be for real I took an entry-level genetics class and the questions he is asking are absurd even to someone like me with a basic understanding
Bear in mind also that his vocation was acting. He was not a geneticist. That is Neelix from Star Trek Voyager. That voice is unmistakable. I don't know how you missed it. ;p (No it isn't actually Ethan Philips but he sounds EXACTLY like him and even looks like him only somewhat more aged (though Ethan would be by now too.)
"I'm engineered. So what?" "The unplanned organism is a question asked by nature and answered by death. You are another kind of question, with another kind of answer."
Is it just me who gets insanely exited by the idea that you can order synthesized DNA fragments, on the internet??? And writing a book as DNA - that made me laugh so much that I almost cried - can't help it, I just love weird geniuses and their sense of humor!
if we could change humanity we should have 2goals, make humans wiser and more considetate, and change our cold weather survival traits, like the neandrathal 😁💖
These guys should do what Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss did. Just give them the topic list and kick the moderator out. It's not his fault but sorry, he's just pulling down the average IQ in the room..

Should we make humans with artificial genomes? Hell yes!!! Just read the comments below, apparently posted by "normal" humans, it can't get any worse than that!
How was their time wasted ? By saying this you are invalidating the hour and thirty minutes they gave to present and however long to prepare as worthless.
Yes this was wonderful line I heard in whole of this topic, I want to speak this again and again."transition from living on earth to living with the earth.
Yes give away your human rights by allowing them to edit your DNA rendering you transhuman. Good idea guys - I’m sure bill gates will be a loving owner of your patentable edited body.
@@Jf-mb2pk you're off by about 6,000 years or more as editing our DNA was already done before then... This fact was proven well beyond anything you will ever research as it was in the mid-70s when the electron microscope was born and took a photograph of our DNA.... As if it was perfect we would have the same DNA as all primates with 48 chromosomes but we do not.... As two of our chromosomes were manipulated and mutilated fusing two of them together and that's all it takes folks to make us a completely different animal not related to anything on this planet whatsoever as we are totally artificial created by another being and not a god of anything or any way possible from the description of the Almighty.... So that puts us in only one spot in the eyes of God and that is an abomination.... Short explains if what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah sort of explains exactly what Jesus Christ said on his last moment's nailed to the cross forgive them Father for they know not what they do... Jesus was not praying for his death as he wasnt dead yet he was praying that his father was going to do to us with mutilated string of DNA the JC knew what Daddy was going to do after JC was resurrected and sent home ...that would have allowed God another shot on us after JC took his last breath.... Cuz we just ain't made in God's image at all or we wouldn't have to chromosomes melted together we wouldn't have anything wrong with this at all.... And we wouldn't have the elite trying to murder us all as stated in stone on the Georgia guidestones that is their agenda to do to us.... And it looks like they're plandemic is working pretty well...... Off the subject of it a bit what was the bad guy's name in the stories about the Smurfs that happened in the '80s the little blue people fairy tale... And I'll tell you as a church lady with scold you in Saturday night live haha haha was it Satan? Actually it was gargamel next best thing if you want to call it best... And as I recall Wile E coyote and the roadrunner Foghorn Leghorn the chicken hawk we're all declared violent rude mentally distorting our children's minds with lust and violence so we replaced them with these demons from hell called skeletor you are very nice and friendly evil demons and devils and murders from hell that would not affect our children at all correct?..... Well look at you now skeletor.... Seems like you're Target is a lot deeper than anything the roadrunner ever did to Wile E
Earth is god's petri dish. He watches while we squirm, suffer and die. Eating the fruit of the Garden was NOT aboot the knowledge of right and wrong, it was the knowledge that we, and all in the garden, will DIE. This is why God secretly witheld this information. He's probably got a control group on Zeta Reticuli, where He didn't make woman so that an out, to the fact of death, would not be needed. IE, replacing ourselves as we die. Which requires the participation of a baby factory. What if God revealed the data once we made AI as smart as him.
Work of committee effort.... sounds almost like a discussion kind of and a very good way to get different perspectives and new ways of viewing the same thing because without that we're stuck with just one and excludes all others of which there are almost an infinite amount of each one offering a little more insight to factor into the overall understanding of things or discarded even but not until they were considered so nothing lost either way only opportunities to gain at no risk. Sounds like a winner to me
Yeah, and that's exactly the point of the festival: I'm not a scientist, and I don't want to see an MIT session taught by a scientist, to a platform of scientists. That's why he needs to be there - to create a connection between specialists and the general public. Possibly demystifying the topics with a bit of humour. There are plenty of university-level classes free to watch on YT, this is simply for a different audience, with a totally different purpose. Then, what does "unscientific" means? At no point he's advocating against science
I'm one of the lucky ones, I enjoyed the video. Seems to be a lot of people in the comments implying 'I know this much, so everyone else should too.' or 'I know this much, so this video should cater to my level'. Just an observation, not a judgement. Like I said, I enjoyed the video
As a human species, no one has as right to be private about any information that includes changes in our DNA. This should be an open topic to everyone. Whether you understand it or not. There should be no closed conversations but only open invitations.
really appreciate the casual coy tone of the interviews it goes a long way for a lay person like me to start to understand the science and its implications holistically.
I had watched this program a while ago, and forgot that I had done so. But after 5 minutes of listening to the moderator here again, I thought I would leave an ascerbic comment. But then I saw I had already done this the first time I had watched this program. All I can say is that it has been hard for me to stay within the bounds of politeness when registering my sheer frustration with this man. REQUEST: Can the 4 experts being interviewed here come back and deal with this topic without the moderator, and have a chat among themselves on this fascinating topic Please?
Egoists with no real concept of the infinite complexity of biological life, treating it as if it's linear programming and scientists can just cut and paste sequences to create something viable. How ignorant of truth.
I just had to stop for a second, (half an hour into this video) to tell you, WOW... Thank you! Incredible scientists surrounded by such an amazing humble charisma of knowledge. What a treat! Brilliant host, asking questions so people like me can actually grasp at least some parts of genetics' science...... and all glued together by a gentle breeze of amazing sense of humour. Priceless! THANK YOU!
Answering the main question: anyone with somewhat advanced and combined training in natural sciences and philosophy will quickly realize that "alive" and "not alive" are arbitrarily defined concepts - and that so is the division line between them.
Accountability would be good but the problem remains the same. I believe the virus was engineered otherwise we should have been able to trace the “parent” of covid 19 and we cant find it in any animal How it got to humans is still not known and no “close” relative to the virus despite one of the biggest efforts to find it ever just sound like somewhere in that lab they fucked up
@@DPSufferer Stop fear-mongering with hearsay and harmful gossip-“Scientists have identified a close relative of SARS-CoV-2 in bats which offers more evidence that the virus behind the Covid-19 disease evolved naturally, and not in a laboratory.”
I have something to say...Why? What are the risks and potential future problems that may happen? What is the impact of those problems and do we as a human species want to take on those risks?
Exactly, and whats even scarier is the ones who get to make those decisions. Bozos, Fuckerberg, Obamas, Goldman Sac of nuts, basically everyone with a deranged ideology, and shit loads of money. I don't see anything wrong with that picture at all thats the best recipe for wholesome, morally sound, decision making if I ever heard one.
I think the first questions were pretty interesting, but the host kept going on and on asking questions and the questions just became less and less interesting the more interesting the questions became to him personally it felt like. Some of the questions he asked were just completely unnecessary and just seemed to make the guests feel uncomfortable, in an awkward way. I got the feeling he tried to tell the guests he wasn't just a host, but a special one. He tried his best to ruin the talk, but his guests made sure he failed that.
REASON℠ maybe the host is a product of synthetic biology gone wrong and the title of the video is esoterically posing the question "It's Alive but is it Intelligent?".
Tom P. As if morality shouldn't be so bold as to intrude upon the domain of science? Morality when elevated from the simple instinct level phenomenon many humans posses can become a very scientific area known as ethics and the ethical practice of science or, the unethical practice will become of paramount importance to everyone's daily lives in the future when things like artificial people are made or, should this A.I. machine that is smarter than people be allowed political franchise and, what kinds of weapons should we leave alone.... Ethics are good because they are not religiously based but founded on logic and accountability but few people become ethical without a strong moral sense and a respect for the truth. statements like the one you made are scary to me
Robert Deskins well I hope my statement didnt make it sound like I'm against morals or have no morals, I was just annoyed at how this was supposed to be a scientific discussion and the host (who's known for asking these kinds of questions) kept badgering the guests about morals when it seemed clear they all wanted to discuss science. There is indeed a time and place to discuss ethics though.
47:25 - The promises are never as good as proposed and the dangers are always greater than promised! It is human nature to exaggerate the positive qualities of what you depend on for a living while downplaying the cost to everyone else! That is WHY dictatorships exist! And we are getting VERY CLOSE to eliminating voting as a viable form of governing society and instead substituting "specialists" that will dictate what path the human race will take and just how many of us will take it! That is why they are all grinning with the face mask of death! They skirt around the subject, but you can see it is on all of their minds! Like those that went before them, they think that they will be indispensable and therefore safe from elimination. It never turns out that way, does it? Is that the Universes sense of humor or just poetic justice?
Right. Some call it karma. Just an example, a guy complained so much about an unsafe junction, oversaw the changes to make it safe, and when the project was complete had an RTA at it and lost his life. Unbelievable.
Although I'm far from being an expert, I've heard it often that aging is determined by our chromosomes. That, they are incomplete to sustain normal regeneration processes. Thus, aging is the result that leads to death. If so, then I'd assume their research could either slow down the aging process or eliminate it entirely. Maybe not in the near future, but within a short time period. One thing these guests ignore is the fact they seem preoccupied with the benefits and how such research could be utilized by Big-Pharma, when in fact our population growth is not sustainable and poses a threat to all life on Earth. Therefore, such technology will be available to a mere few at the expense of the masses. In fact, I think there is plenty of evidence to reduce the world's population today despite the efforts of these professionals and their research. What is ironic is the fact research of the past has brought great advancements in medicine, but only to a point. And, new threats in the forms of viruses appear from nowhere to threaten public health and national security. In fact, there is evidence that cancer-causing viruses were engineered in the fifties and sixties yet promising cancer treatments were and are stopped by authoritative measures and agencies. And, this was obvious for the past hundred years.
population growth is already naturally tapering off. In fact the only continent with a 2.4 birth rate is Africa, all the rest are below replacement birth rate.
They are asking questions in a way that the question makes sense to the people who DON'T understand this stuff. The people who already know this information wouldn't be watching the video. ;)
Idk, I'm on the fence. Yes, he could have asked more pertinent questions instead of making lowest common denominator jokes, but at the same time, it's not his field and the guest speakers did a wonderful job of covering their field (I think)
The host is just great. Reminds me of the class idiot. Every class has one. Looking at the panel reminds me of us, when we arrive at an event to see and be absolutely amazed at how well the class idiot done in life. 🤣
Science conversation with a Comedy Central host, weird. Not my taste to be honest. A hybrid mix of Homer, Kramer and Adam Sandler. Hope you can get a host that can extract information and insight out of the professionals and enhance the communication instead of hinder it next time. And I do not even mean the stand up he performed between the questions. Too often the scientists on stage rolled their eyes and gave an reply like "sure whatever you say" with some laughter. That could have been a spot for a great question. Blocking an explanation by interrupting and steering away from where the actually good question was going too made me decide to type a comment. Love the channel and these sessions, just wanted to drop a note that this was not my fav episode.
Once is realized that you and I are the by products of this vary activity preform 450 to 500 thousand years ago it takes all the thrill out hearing discussing like this. Read the omitted books of Enoch. The event well before the flood.
Wow. Amazing discussion. I have to say I believe all these intellectuals including the reporter are very intelligent, no question! And I believe they are all seem to be good people with discernment that seems "good ". I believe they have "good intentions" with their reputations showing good moral character I especially believe that to be the case for the two men furtherest on the outsides of the reporter. However, I sense an idealist perspective, and is somewhat in denial of how political instuitions work, as well as what history has proven itself to show. Policies take lots of time to implement, takes lot of attempts for unanimous vote. Of course under ideally want to have government and international policies to protect humanism and keep like man said some things "sacred", but there will always be corruption, bad intentions, bad people and evil. To say that there are sciences that we shouldn't move forward just because of that reality? No, Im not saying that, but as history has shown, while these intellectuals move forward with their idealist ideas, so do we have biological warfare, men like Adolf Hitler who imposed fascism ideas and world dictatorship using massive automatic weapons of destruction. Humans are capable of making things for self sustain, efficient ways of life, but it chooses to promote capitalism. You can't just look away and just hope for "lets all move forward together" as the men said. I appreciate deeply there hearts and idealist optimism sincerely. But them seem to be in a bit of denial of powers that be that often find themselves in position of power. I believe our society is moving toward technological singularity. And I don't quiet know how this research will be involved in our possible future that we have yet to foresee. But you can begin to see a pattern for "a lack of reverence, for what should be sacred", and its happening very, very, very fast. Our humanism is quickly changing, and if we are not careful, other things may follow with unforseen consequences.

The word clones is what you are looking for ...like in Hitler's day he was working on the Aryan race of superhumans as was his Hitler youth program teenagers fed with steroids and given weapons . Years ago in America scientist cloned a lamb called dolly and then all the bad guys promised they would never clone humans imagine that and it's illegal to clone human beings so that means nobody will ever ever do that will they?

@@lisashao2449 no matter what men do, they will never be able to create life as God made it. Jesus said, he is the way, the truth and the life. But the devil who can't accept the fact is deceiving godless people to believe otherwise. "I will ascend on high" these people say as if what they really meant is "I will take God's throne and be like God himself". Maybe it's also the reason why, as I watch how these scientists are comfortably seated and intelligently answering the questions, it seems they are demigods from greek mythology, ready to strike thunderbolts should they wish to to weak earthlings. They may be the good guys, but how about their evil counterparts?
Yes this was wonderful line I heard in whole of this topic, I want to speak this again and again."transition from living on earth to living with the earth.
Actually due to the heady nature of what they do, there will very likely be a higher over-all I.Q. among them. This should help keep them more sensitive to the ramifications of what they are doing. (but by no means ENSURES it.) The larger problem is pretty much always the people running the large corporations that SPONSOR their work. They demand results or threaten to shut down the lab and/or replace them with "results oriented personnel." (Been there, done that.) It seems God has been shoved aside and replaced with money.

Idealism usually misleads ppl bc their complex propositions appear simple and appealing. What if you can eat all the the foods you want without having to exercise and don't gain weight and feel great all the time. So take this pill. Simply appealing. I'll take it.

this was 4 years ago...a few things said rang a bell in my head Covid 2019-2021,
The exact same thoughts occurred to me especially at 1:07:05 into the video. This being said 4 years ago and reflecting on all that is happening and hearing......well... I don't know what to believe and what not to.
Your a very smart person to make that observation I wander who funds these projects and were was there first ecoli /samples was found my wildest guess (a blood bank from the Caribbean west indies) spells covid to me.😎
Are you cray' ?
the moderator is horrible
That was a bit of a shock. Pretty sure he was approached
That moment when you realize that you are watching a documentary and not a quick two minute science video
The effects of weed are real "brain training" which is considered as in opposition to programmed intelligence the effects of such considered bad politically along with other aspects that are economic.
Sounds like first world problems brah, you should get a hobby
how about synthetic biology
Was never experienced here as this was show where a village idiot asks the biochemical engineers stupid questions about things that the engineers half ignore and slip in interesting and relevant comments here and there not a documentary.
damn. i just relized this. thanks
I don't know why people think the host is dumb, I personally think his style of asking questions was exactly how they should be asked. I as a computer science student didn't feel like "crap I didn't take high school biology so now I don't know what the fuck they're talking about". I was able to follow along perfectly. There is no need to include sophisticated terms when this talk is meant to be shown to the general public. If you want sophisticated stuff go to a university and learn there.
This is what an introductory course to English is to Shakespeare.
It is obvious that this needs to discussed at a non-technical easily understood level, and the panel is capable of doing that without the constant distractions of the moderator's bad analogies and misdirections. It prevents the discussion from being educational.
I'm a CNC operator, dropped out of school and this is host is baby talk to me. So ignorant.
Dion Miles I find your comment intriguing. My curiosity is getting the beter of me. Would you indulge me for a moment and comment on what you think of the idea of bringing back an extinct species like a mammoth? Also a comment on the reasoning of those who might have an opposing view to your own would be highly appreciated too.
Wow well said my friend, I felt it was a very interesting style of interviewing/hosting and a Synthetic Biology a very weird and hard topic to grasp
We criticize because us in the other 95 percentile went to elementary school and learned this. You don't need high school biology. So why do we have to be annoyed because it's geared to the lower 5 percentile that you are in. If he was a good host he would lead the question and then the scientists would explain the whole thing at one time. The conversation would move fluently forward instead of one step forward two steps back. It's all his asking for yes and no questions instead of the scientists answering in summary. The lady scientist on this is so frustrated at how stupid he is. He keeps looking away and laughing. He should just ask the question and not give the question in a multiple choice type style.
No one ever has made life without first starting with life.
Exactly.
Most enthralling in terms of the accomplishments of our Terran Earth Human Scientists to date. It was heart warming to listen to the Engineer who tried t steer a pathway that allows for Genetic Engineering and its creation to to not be distanced from Nature but in a sense to complement and work with it.
Excellent host. I enjoyed very much learning the specifics on how they order genes and put them together, makes things less abstract, I know it's simplified, doesn't matter, the framework and the imagery it provides gives me an easy platform to deal and know of these topics without becoming a specialist.
Nicely put. I am a layperson whose vocation is very, very separated from anything like the fields of biology and physics, yet I now find these topics endlessly fascinating. So, being able to watch a lucid conversation such as this is manna from heaven.
Excellent Host??! Perhaps euphemism
Identical twins are still 2 separate beings, although very alike. I think there is a problem with the soul of a being. In a human being is this invisible energy, I don't think you can duplicate.
Science denies all the evidence linking biology of life to models of reality that would include thing like how cells coordinate, how the nervous system works, how consciousness works, what and how the soul works/what it does... the men who began to investigate these things were discredited, silenced, and/or killed (Tesla and Wilhelm Reich). There is no intelligent way to address thd title of this video without a model that explains these aspects. Things all life demonstrate, yet denied by science.
Many time you also get the Ying Yang effect in identical twins one take good paths the other bad paths
Where do you put the soul? What's it made of? Do dogs have one? Ants? Bacteria?
@@stevenborgogna you put that in your phobias and sing songs, write books, you tell your neightboor about it and you dream about it. Soul is nothing, what they are calling soul is just something not very well known yet. But it's not ''sacred nor magic.''

Wooooow
You said it right to the point!But being that there all so entertaining,& everyone wants to be in a horror flick!Here's their big chance.It's just an internet link away!Crazy 4 Real!!
I like how all the doctors are so serious all the time and the guy who is conducting the interview is cracking little jokes here and there I think it makes everyone watching this a little bit more interested in the subject because it's not so dull and boring to watch, well I'm my case anyways.
It is amazing how humble these people are. Real examples of Dunning-Kruger effect. 🙂
Only example here is you tbh
Say what ?
Actually no. They don't need to be humble as they are extremely intelligent and their abilities are in the top %0.1 of human population. And your pathetic sarcasm just makes you look sad. And yes, you would be a chimp if you had to be at the side of any of them.
Yeah super humble!
I think the moderator did a good job and was properly combative sometimes the subject matter was dense and highly decisive. Good job by all five on the stage overall.
I agree. This moderator appears in other debates featured on this channel and he’s quite good at this.
I love World Science Festival. You got great topics that excites interest in future sciences and gather top minds to share their expertise. Thank you!
How do they go 50+ mins without mentioning the insertion process and CRISPR?
@MrMegamike420 not listening, apparently. But you did also miss the point that homebrew genomics is a real thing, and a lot of what they glossed over relates to cost and accessibility. Were you listening?
By having a host that wastes all their time wit meaningless questions that a child would ask.
Bc that Information is fucking everywhere, Snowflake.
@@teresaboze69... 4 years ago when I posted this? You must be feeling extra special today lol enjoy the drugs big head
I listened to the whole thing from beginning to end. I even played back a few parts 3X. You're right, they did not mention the word CRISPR when doing gene insertions.
All Praise to the Most High, Out of dust Man became a living Soul. Organic
Amen, sister. Organic virgin earth.
Just like Jesus.
@@unstablegenius2325 just like the force is worse than Lucifer that just now told you to say just like Jesus that is pure blasphemy from you to even suggest Jesus is from the Earth
So is that what you're calling man now a living soul organic? And it looks like you have an audience now who took it a step higher or should I say lower claiming that it's organic virgin Earth and another below that claiming Jesus is from the Earth well don't stop now write the rest of the story that shouldn't be too hard for you as anything comes off the top of your head you can tell it as history truth and you say it loud enough long enough and big enough all will believe won't they so giddy up start your creation of the creator and call the book The Bible as has been done for centuries up on centuries omitting 77 stories already as you rewrite the Bible you can also decide what will be left in it as you add more simple as that and all will believe
oh shut up! we arent in church here
Haven’t watched all of this yet. However when I hear synthetic life it automatically makes me think advanced robotics/androids
Skip to 1:07:06 and you will see the reality that science knew the pandemic was coming
@@LM1970ful I watched the entire video and I totally geeked out. Yes what that researcher would NOT DO - skip to 1:07:00 - very interesting! Even more eye-opening when he said how genetic researchers DID create polio virus that escaped and then had to generate algorithmic designs for the vaccine against the pathogen they just created! Exactly what happened. Listen back 1:07 onwards.The truth is all P4 labs world wide play with viruses and bacteria all the time. Of course Fauci and others consider this medical progress and an intellectual challenge and try to pass it off as research. The create the pathogen, ah just in case they have to fight it someday. Hey let's look up this polio virus thing...see what you can dig up.
@@LM1970ful yeah that’s not at all what is going on there you god damn conspiracy theorist. This is science not emotion and fear or confusion.
@@kodysmessedup first, you know nothing of me personally, so you have no reason to curse at me. just shows your lack of intelligence. second, being a conspiracy theorist isn't at all negative in my book. so, if that was meant to be an insult, you missed the mark. last, I feel bad for ppl as low vibrational as you appear to be.
@@adventureswithwool-johanne7755 yep! watched the whole thing and was layering my thoughts with the other bits of info around this topic. Now, watch Human Nature on Netflix to see George Church regarding this subject some more. That doc is VERY eye opening as well. Not everyone can put this all together but those of us able to will get the full story just by watching these two thjngs.
The host is doing 80% of the talk. He needs to allow the experts to go in depth on the topic.
gabrielanunez ! They are so reluctant to talk though, they must be nervous they don’t warm up until half way through
They don't want to talk.
Yeah, they look uncomfortable being there. It's painful to watch a person with so little knowledge trying to control a discussion by people far smarter than him.
All that snarky commentary on human apocalypse is so immature and unnecessary. We are building custom organisms and in the future custom people.
It's like he missed the train several years ago on that topic.
@Jessica Lynn He could do a much better job. The way he presents himself in conversation among these esteemed gentlemen is cringy and ignorant. I was disgusted by his jokes which were in poor taste. I wouldn't want to sit for hours talking with that guy next to me.
@@amayjahmusic7494 They are surprised that the host wastes their time and won't ask anything interesting.
even though it's synethetic it's still made from everything found on earth and in our universe.
True. Actually we just take from here take from that material that has the same physics and material om the human. We just make cloning human with arifisial body. I hate to say that because it is not interesting anymore 😑. I need to see human consciousness transferred to computer.
Synthetic=man made sorta un natural, manipulation if you will

Minus Mr. Krulwich quirky moderating.... we as a species need to have more of these talks and debates.
Unscientific moderator at the World Science Festival. Great work /s
What was that at the end? That was an awkward moment.
Moderator needs to apply for a silly comedy act instead of trying to be a moderator.. BAD choice
Lots of love and respect from India. I like this type of festival as I am the student of Bio-Technology. It's help us a lot in getting the ideas of our field.
Even the ancient ones agreed that this was reserved for The Father of all Creation
Science is a single, international language. Like building the tower of Babel, they are trying to reach God status. As was spoken:
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
You all know what will happen next. All it will take is some nimrod scientist to arrogantly start building so-called superhumans to reach up to God status, all out of DNA bricks.
Lololol! This type of science is still scifi, thankfully. But if allowed to advance, unchecked, without restraint?! It could happen if civilization were to collapse into a free for all; somewhere in a scientific bunker, where ordinary humans cannot leave the confines of such a place due to toxins, perhaps?
Then building superhumans could serve us just fine!
brilliant discussion for a simple person like me to begin to understand more
Maybe the host is a product of synthetic biology gone wrong and the title of the video is esoterically posing the question "It's Alive but is it Intelligent?".
🤣😂🤣👍👍👍
This is the best comment by far. The host is ridiculously pathetic. Those biologists looked pained :p
May not be in the industrial since. But is in a godlike light since, to smart can be man's down fall. Many dogs are smarter.smater just enough to keep it simple.stupped.?

Drew Endy’s words from 1:08:50 was the best part of this conference:
Where is the telos… What might our aspirations be… Maybe if we changed our interphases between us and rest of the planet, we could figure out how to flourish and have partnership with nature. We could be transitioning from living on earth to living with earth… I don’t want to industrialize biology, I’d like to biolagize industry... We should be able to pull it off…
I agree. What was he suggesting, turn humans green so they can photosynthesize.
I liked the “take the car apart and put it back together” analogy. I am very good at that. Some speculation that this may even be a genetic propensity as my children, brothers, father, uncles, greats, etc are all very good at this too. A lot of engineers and scientists in my families. I taught myself as a young child by getting broken equipment from the town dump and fixing it. I became a scientist, engineer, Inventor and entrepreneur. Like many in tech I “retired” to farming which is fascinatingly complex and cross discipline. I look forward to “garage” sequencing. 🙃
Awesome Knowledge. The way they are interacting with readers and audience ,thats just fantastic.Hat off to all these minds

This is so fascinating. A group of scientists have actually synthesized life. This technology is developing so rapidly, that is biology and creating life, that in my life time there are going to be debates on whether or not we should DESIGN NEW CREATURES.... It's the Universe becoming self aware and now trying to make an other self....
One of the qualifying traits of a living thing is the ability to reproduce on its own so I don't think they're quite there yet in fact viruses aren't even alive and that would be why you can't kill them you just can't kill something that's not alive.
They're not there yet I'm not real convinced they should be trying that hard with the very limited understanding they bring to bear on the task as I'm sure when they finally do successfully achieve synthetic life it will probably have all kinds of issues and suffered dearly and in the end end up euthanized no doubt and I can't really think of a good reason why we would need to create life when we can readily manipulate already existing life now and we've been doing that for at least a couple of Millennia through selective breeding but you know how people are once they get it in their head and fixate on it it's a done deal at least until there's proof of concept and a couple of failed attempts that makes them rethink their reason for wanting to do it
They're a lot closer to having artificial intelligence and they are artificial life but the same problems applied to both it's not well enough understood to not potentially screw things up pretty bad in particular with AI we might only have one shot to get that right so there's really no reason to rush no reason at all
Wait... what???
Isn't it a little stretch to go from synthetic life to omnistic theology within one breath? Bro, just take a genetics 101 course, youtube is your friend here.
the host can't be for real I took an entry-level genetics class and the questions he is asking are absurd even to someone like me with a basic understanding
Andrew Bako well I took a graphic design class, consider there’s lots of people watching this who don’t know the ins and outs
Bear in mind also that his vocation was acting. He was not a geneticist. That is Neelix from Star Trek Voyager. That voice is unmistakable. I don't know how you missed it. ;p
(No it isn't actually Ethan Philips but he sounds EXACTLY like him and even looks like him only somewhat more aged (though Ethan would be by now too.)
Go fuck yourself with your genetics classes. Or start making a Coronavirus vaccine you useless brainiac...
"I'm engineered. So what?"
"The unplanned organism is a question asked by nature and answered by death. You are another kind of question, with another kind of answer."
Where is this from?
Oh, to have been high as a kite in the audience for this. Thoroughly enjoyable!
Is it just me who gets insanely exited by the idea that you can order synthesized DNA fragments, on the internet???
And writing a book as DNA - that made me laugh so much that I almost cried - can't help it, I just love weird geniuses and their sense of humor!

Mr. Krulwich is an excellent example of why the better more interesting scientist, educators etc. appearing on such shows are doing away with a host.
Amazing panel of experts, shame that their time was wasted without asking challenging and interesting questions...
Like?
Well they saying umm plenty with out saying anything.. I caught what they were throwin..lol
How was their time wasted ? By saying this you are invalidating the hour and thirty minutes they gave to present and however long to prepare as worthless.
You're unfair or snobbish... Or both. HA!

@@Jf-mb2pk you're off by about 6,000 years or more as editing our DNA was already done before then... This fact was proven well beyond anything you will ever research as it was in the mid-70s when the electron microscope was born and took a photograph of our DNA.... As if it was perfect we would have the same DNA as all primates with 48 chromosomes but we do not.... As two of our chromosomes were manipulated and mutilated fusing two of them together and that's all it takes folks to make us a completely different animal not related to anything on this planet whatsoever as we are totally artificial created by another being and not a god of anything or any way possible from the description of the Almighty.... So that puts us in only one spot in the eyes of God and that is an abomination.... Short explains if what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah sort of explains exactly what Jesus Christ said on his last moment's nailed to the cross forgive them Father for they know not what they do... Jesus was not praying for his death as he wasnt dead yet he was praying that his father was going to do to us with mutilated string of DNA the JC knew what Daddy was going to do after JC was resurrected and sent home ...that would have allowed God another shot on us after JC took his last breath.... Cuz we just ain't made in God's image at all or we wouldn't have to chromosomes melted together we wouldn't have anything wrong with this at all.... And we wouldn't have the elite trying to murder us all as stated in stone on the Georgia guidestones that is their agenda to do to us.... And it looks like they're plandemic is working pretty well......

Earth is god's petri dish. He watches while we squirm, suffer and die. Eating the fruit of the Garden was NOT aboot the knowledge of right and wrong, it was the knowledge that we, and all in the garden, will DIE.
This is why God secretly witheld this information.
He's probably got a control group on Zeta Reticuli, where He didn't make woman so that an out, to the fact of death, would not be needed. IE, replacing ourselves as we die. Which requires the participation of a baby factory.
What if God revealed the data once we made AI as smart as him.
I find it fascinating that the human genome project came about in a meeting that took place in the year 1984.
The previous name for "human genome project" was "eugenics". Look up cold spring harbor.

Work of committee effort....
sounds almost like a discussion kind of and a very good way to get different perspectives and new ways of viewing the same thing because without that we're stuck with just one and excludes all others of which there are almost an infinite amount of each one offering a little more insight to factor into the overall understanding of things or discarded even but not until they were considered so nothing lost either way only opportunities to gain at no risk.
Sounds like a winner to me
Unscientific moderator at the World Science Festival. Great work /s
Yeah, and that's exactly the point of the festival: I'm not a scientist, and I don't want to see an MIT session taught by a scientist, to a platform of scientists. That's why he needs to be there - to create a connection between specialists and the general public. Possibly demystifying the topics with a bit of humour. There are plenty of university-level classes free to watch on YT, this is simply for a different audience, with a totally different purpose. Then, what does "unscientific" means? At no point he's advocating against science

As a human species, no one has as right to be private about any information that includes changes in our DNA. This should be an open topic to everyone. Whether you understand it or not. There should be no closed conversations but only open invitations.

The one thing there missing is the breath of life. And the spirit.
I had watched this program a while ago, and forgot that I had done so. But after 5 minutes of listening to the moderator here again, I thought I would leave an ascerbic comment. But then I saw I had already done this the first time I had watched this program. All I can say is that it has been hard for me to stay within the bounds of politeness when registering my sheer frustration with this man. REQUEST: Can the 4 experts being interviewed here come back and deal with this topic without the moderator, and have a chat among themselves on this fascinating topic Please?
The moderator keeps directing questions and involving the two on the left ... Would have liked a more even spread of input
Really enjoyed Mr. Bean moderating this.
Mr Bean with Mr Beans' brain and Mr Beans' mannerisims
Drew Endy is both well-thought and well-spoken.
Egoists with no real concept of the infinite complexity of biological life, treating it as if it's linear programming and scientists can just cut and paste sequences to create something viable. How ignorant of truth.
It's funny how youtube doesn't have any recommendations until I click on an hour long video then they have plenty
Never had that experience 😂
Somehow, seems to me that the moderator managed to monopolize an interesting topic, when surrounded by experts on it...

Its honestly amazing and terrifying at the same time. The leaps we have made in science is incredible, there are so many possibilities!

Answering the main question: anyone with somewhat advanced and combined training in natural sciences and philosophy will quickly realize that "alive" and "not alive" are arbitrarily defined concepts - and that so is the division line between them.
awesome discussion
4 years ago, there’s a part that makes me think covid was just created in laboratory. Anyway we gotta do what we gotta do.
Accountability would be good but the problem remains the same. I believe the virus was engineered otherwise we should have been able to trace the “parent” of covid 19 and we cant find it in any animal
How it got to humans is still not known and no “close” relative to the virus despite one of the biggest efforts to find it ever just sound like somewhere in that lab they fucked up
I was terrified at 1:07!
@@DPSufferer Stop fear-mongering with hearsay and harmful gossip-“Scientists have identified a close relative of SARS-CoV-2 in bats which offers more evidence that the virus behind the Covid-19 disease evolved naturally, and not in a laboratory.”

COVID is political warfare. We'll just pin it on China and forget about it.
One of MANY existential questions for mankind today that the general population has NOTHING to say about!
I have something to say...Why? What are the risks and potential future problems that may happen? What is the impact of those problems and do we as a human species want to take on those risks?
Exactly, and whats even scarier is the ones who get to make those decisions. Bozos, Fuckerberg, Obamas, Goldman Sac of nuts, basically everyone with a deranged ideology, and shit loads of money. I don't see anything wrong with that picture at all thats the best recipe for wholesome, morally sound, decision making if I ever heard one.

there's a giraffe in there . class this guy is also funny as well as intelligent
I think the first questions were pretty interesting, but the host kept going on and on asking questions and the questions just became less and less interesting the more interesting the questions became to him personally it felt like. Some of the questions he asked were just completely unnecessary and just seemed to make the guests feel uncomfortable, in an awkward way. I got the feeling he tried to tell the guests he wasn't just a host, but a special one. He tried his best to ruin the talk, but his guests made sure he failed that.
REASON℠ maybe the host is a product of synthetic biology gone wrong and the title of the video is esoterically posing the question "It's Alive but is it Intelligent?".

Agreed. and I especially like how Church mostly deflected his morality questions and brought it back to the science.

As if morality shouldn't be so bold as to intrude upon the domain of science?
Morality when elevated from the simple instinct level phenomenon many humans posses can become a very scientific area known as ethics and the ethical practice of science or, the unethical practice will become of paramount importance to everyone's daily lives in the future when things like artificial people are made or, should this A.I. machine that is smarter than people be allowed political franchise and, what kinds of weapons should we leave alone.... Ethics are good because they are not religiously based but founded on logic and accountability but few people become ethical without a strong moral sense and a respect for the truth.
statements like the one you made are scary to me
Robert Deskins
well I hope my statement didnt make it sound like I'm against morals or have no morals, I was just annoyed at how this was supposed to be a scientific discussion and the host (who's known for asking these kinds of questions) kept badgering the guests about morals when it seemed clear they all wanted to discuss science. There is indeed a time and place to discuss ethics though.
I'm reminded of the apprentice finding the wizard's spell book and conjuring up powers that apprentice has no hope of controlling.
I enjoyed the interview, found it very enlightening.
47:25 - The promises are never as good as proposed and the dangers are always greater than promised! It is human nature to exaggerate the positive qualities of what you depend on for a living while downplaying the cost to everyone else! That is WHY dictatorships exist! And we are getting VERY CLOSE to eliminating voting as a viable form of governing society and instead substituting "specialists" that will dictate what path the human race will take and just how many of us will take it! That is why they are all grinning with the face mask of death! They skirt around the subject, but you can see it is on all of their minds! Like those that went before them, they think that they will be indispensable and therefore safe from elimination. It never turns out that way, does it? Is that the Universes sense of humor or just poetic justice?
I bet you are fun to have at a party! Happy- DOOOOOMSDAY 2 yooooo
Right. Some call it karma. Just an example, a guy complained so much about an unsafe junction, oversaw the changes to make it safe, and when the project was complete had an RTA at it and lost his life. Unbelievable.
so, this is how the zombie apocalypse started
Not yet, but soon
Yes
Yep, and if you are awaken and mastered the mind, the masks of people are falling and you see glimps of aliens or reptiles. No joke.
van Looken Roel what in the actual fuck ? 🤣
@@ItsMe-ln5fh You should try ayahuasca sometime. You'll be surprised!
Although I'm far from being an expert, I've heard it often that aging is determined by our chromosomes. That, they are incomplete to sustain normal regeneration processes. Thus, aging is the result that leads to death. If so, then I'd assume their research could either slow down the aging process or eliminate it entirely. Maybe not in the near future, but within a short time period. One thing these guests ignore is the fact they seem preoccupied with the benefits and how such research could be utilized by Big-Pharma, when in fact our population growth is not sustainable and poses a threat to all life on Earth. Therefore, such technology will be available to a mere few at the expense of the masses. In fact, I think there is plenty of evidence to reduce the world's population today despite the efforts of these professionals and their research. What is ironic is the fact research of the past has brought great advancements in medicine, but only to a point. And, new threats in the forms of viruses appear from nowhere to threaten public health and national security. In fact, there is evidence that cancer-causing viruses were engineered in the fifties and sixties yet promising cancer treatments were and are stopped by authoritative measures and agencies. And, this was obvious for the past hundred years.
population growth is already naturally tapering off. In fact the only continent with a 2.4 birth rate is Africa, all the rest are below replacement birth rate.
1:07:05 in our current days it is a supper chilling statement.
ionno man, with the colonialism history you can’t really be that surprised
woah, the stabilization at 1:23 with the background almost made me sick. Please learn to hold on to a camera. :-)
The moderator is great. I could follow along perfectly.
I was expecting a more informative video. This moderator is focused on entretainment and not in information.
Science discussion hosts who think they are funny, and aren't, spoil every discussion they moderate.
What I want to know is how to synthesize Cannabis.
The moderator seems able to obtain intelligent answers from seemingly stupid questions.
I must study his technique for my usage
They are asking questions in a way that the question makes sense to the people who DON'T understand this stuff. The people who already know this information wouldn't be watching the video. ;)
This was a good one
"Its a culture" - didn't get their own inadvertent joke
The host is a fool. Some proper questions would've been nice
Idk, I'm on the fence. Yes, he could have asked more pertinent questions instead of making lowest common denominator jokes, but at the same time, it's not his field and the guest speakers did a wonderful job of covering their field (I think)
He is utterly unprepared. He isn't asking questions that will help lead the discussion along.
He made it palatable for the layman.
The host is just great. Reminds me of the class idiot. Every class has one. Looking at the panel reminds me of us, when we arrive at an event to see and be absolutely amazed at how well the class idiot done in life. 🤣
Science conversation with a Comedy Central host, weird. Not my taste to be honest.
A hybrid mix of Homer, Kramer and Adam Sandler. Hope you can get a host that can extract information and insight out of the professionals and enhance the communication instead of hinder it next time. And I do not even mean the stand up he performed between the questions. Too often the scientists on stage rolled their eyes and gave an reply like "sure whatever you say" with some laughter. That could have been a spot for a great question.
Blocking an explanation by interrupting and steering away from where the actually good question was going too made me decide to type a comment.
Love the channel and these sessions, just wanted to drop a note that this was not my fav episode.
Well said about the clowny nervous pathetic silly imbecile "host" a TOTAL spoiler
I wonder how far we are now.
Just like in the days of Noah, this happens in the days of Noah, read book of jasher. And it will happen again
And God wil destroy it all
the moment you realize this is the institute from fallout 4....
Once is realized that you and I are the by products of this vary activity preform 450 to 500 thousand years ago it takes all the thrill out hearing discussing like this. Read the omitted books of Enoch. The event well before the flood.
@joshua kochendarfer...😂😂👌thanks you made me laugh. And darwan Winkler..🤦
Wow. Amazing discussion. I have to say I believe all these intellectuals including the reporter are very intelligent, no question! And I believe they are all seem to be good people with discernment that seems "good ". I believe they have "good intentions" with their reputations showing good moral character I especially believe that to be the case for the two men furtherest on the outsides of the reporter. However, I sense an idealist perspective, and is somewhat in denial of how political instuitions work, as well as what history has proven itself to show. Policies take lots of time to implement, takes lot of attempts for unanimous vote. Of course under ideally want to have government and international policies to protect humanism and keep like man said some things "sacred", but there will always be corruption, bad intentions, bad people and evil. To say that there are sciences that we shouldn't move forward just because of that reality? No, Im not saying that, but as history has shown, while these intellectuals move forward with their idealist ideas, so do we have biological warfare, men like Adolf Hitler who imposed fascism ideas and world dictatorship using massive automatic weapons of destruction. Humans are capable of making things for self sustain, efficient ways of life, but it chooses to promote capitalism. You can't just look away and just hope for "lets all move forward together" as the men said. I appreciate deeply there hearts and idealist optimism sincerely. But them seem to be in a bit of denial of powers that be that often find themselves in position of power. I believe our society is moving toward technological singularity. And I don't quiet know how this research will be involved in our possible future that we have yet to foresee. But you can begin to see a pattern for "a lack of reverence, for what should be sacred", and its happening very, very, very fast. Our humanism is quickly changing, and if we are not careful, other things may follow with unforseen consequences. (Writen during my state of California Governor, asked for a Stay at Home Order, after International Coronavirus Epidemic that started mysteriously in Wuhan as well as other parts world close to Lockdown and I suspect a shutdown of internet soon to follow, or somehow of social media policing that is short to follow these surreal times.)Shaolm
Yeah the extreme left, the knesset and the Castro Regime, Ortega in Nicaragua, Trudeau, Xi, Putin and Maduro would love to shut down the internet!!
Skre\/\/ them all tho 🔫🚀
The word clones is what you are looking for ...like in Hitler's day he was working on the Aryan race of superhumans as was his Hitler youth program teenagers fed with steroids and given weapons . Years ago in America scientist cloned a lamb called dolly and then all the bad guys promised they would never clone humans imagine that and it's illegal to clone human beings so that means nobody will ever ever do that will they? And then not too long ago I see this guy in a White Crown Vic prowling our neighborhood with no markings on the car Bulletproof glass with a SIG sniper rifle clipped to the dash and this dude dressed like Mr clean and a a mini uzi submachine gun holstered to his belt if I describe the universal Soldier that's exactly what he f****** look like with the same personality staring straight off into nowhere with no emotions at all don't worry all that they are talking about has already been done
Astute observations....I feel the same.
Well said....in a nutshell....in pursuit of money is the root of all evil....in a nutshell....money and power always corrupts good intentions....in a nutshell...the human heart is by default deceitful and desperately wicked if nit restrained by the Restrainer...who is the Restrainer???...the Holy Spirit. We have many spiritually walking dead.
There is a Creator and His created all things and He established the rules....and we are perverting His Laws...the laws of nature and nature is God. Pray
@@lisashao2449 no matter what men do, they will never be able to create life as God made it. Jesus said, he is the way, the truth and the life. But the devil who can't accept the fact is deceiving godless people to believe otherwise. "I will ascend on high" these people say as if what they really meant is "I will take God's throne and be like God himself". Maybe it's also the reason why, as I watch how these scientists are comfortably seated and intelligently answering the questions, it seems they are demigods from greek mythology, ready to strike thunderbolts should they wish to to weak earthlings. They may be the good guys, but how about their evil counterparts?
Imagination is the chemistry of our ideas forming the spirit of our natural atmosphere or aura of our intelligence.
19:50 - And we wonder why cancer is becoming rampant?
That was kind of tense. I was fascinated by the group dynamic.
Yes this was wonderful line I heard in whole of this topic, I want to speak this again and again."transition from living on earth to living with the earth.
Classic double edged sword here. These scientists are idealists. Those that follow them and implement these things won't be.
Yea won't be what? What's wrong with "idealist" being in ones list of ists?
Actually due to the heady nature of what they do, there will very likely be a higher over-all I.Q. among them. This should help keep them more sensitive to the ramifications of what they are doing. (but by no means ENSURES it.)
The larger problem is pretty much always the people running the large corporations that SPONSOR their work. They demand results or threaten to shut down the lab and/or replace them with "results oriented personnel." (Been there, done that.)
It seems God has been shoved aside and replaced with money. (We can debate which is more evil later.) Forgive me, I am working on the problem but my resources are limited. ;)
Idealism usually misleads ppl bc their complex propositions appear simple and appealing.
What if you can eat all the the foods you want without having to exercise and don't gain weight and feel great all the time. So take this pill. Simply appealing. I'll take it.
Please be very care-full, TY all. Glad I was able to see it all.
The glowing fish experiment comes with the kit, so you have a victim to practice on!!!(If you include the cat!!!) So, there is not much out of pocket expense to get going.
I really like this moderator. I know some of the questions may seem a little basic, but he really takes it from the beginning.
Totally disagree...
