Knowing how to take high IQ edgelords “seriously but not literally” has been the biggest arbitrage of my adult life. Every important trend breaks here early, invisible to anyone who overweights respectability.
Stealing this take from Roon and signal-boosting it:
I’ve witnessed a few astonishing successes in my life
They were all best described as leveraged beta not alpha
the most underrated technology right now: the capacity to generate egg cells from stem cells in arbitrary quantity + capacity to select for IQ among embryos means IVF will enable the selection of children with one-in-a-million IQ markers. this is not priced in.
how it should work:
1. get sick
2. home testing machine → sequence viral DNA
3. viral DNA → mRNA therapy specs
4. mRNA therapy specs → automatic manufacturing of mRNA therapy patch
5. mRNA therapy patch → overnight Fedex
Is there any single technology that would improve my life more than a phone that’s not a misaligned dopamine machine? Why not 10x more experiments here?
