We are still in the stone age when it comes to biology, and we have a long way to go in terms of innovation.

In 2050, people will look back at us and wonder how we lived without advanced technologies like mRNA vaccines and carbon removal technologies.

The next century will be about learning how to design biology and program DNA, leading to a new generation of designers focused on biological systems.

We need to invent technologies and science that will make people in 2060 look back at the 2020s and think that world was terrible.

We are at a pivotal point where technology can change who we are genetically, and we need to understand what it means to be human before we give that away.

As we automate scientists and innovators, we may see rapid advancements in scientific research, but new bottlenecks will likely arise.

The NIH should adopt a more experimental approach to funding, allowing for high-risk, high-reward research that traditional models might overlook.

Technological evolution is much faster than biological evolution, which may be our bottleneck in overcoming primal instincts.

In the next 5 to 10 years, I believe we will see a new renaissance in science, with breakthroughs in areas like curing diseases and addressing climate change, starting with technologies like AlphaFold.
