They had to like update the article to be like, oh, by the way, like all these people work at this company that's got a financial interest in this. Sorry. That's crazy. Sketchy. We don't have time to discuss all the different shady life extension companies and schemes that George Church is tangentially connected to, but I would be remiss if I didn't bring up his colleague, Aubrey de Grey.
that he's talking in 2015 about, like, editing human genes to make designer babies. This all leads directly to the most fucked up thing about Dr. George Church, which is how often he winds up, shall we say, tugging at the fringes of outright eugenics, right? Oh.
like there's a lot of weird shit about that right i i'm not thrilled with this but that's my least kind of concern here is some guy who's like look this isn't a real dinosaur but it looks like one do you want to have it as a pet all right yeah i have bigger concerns you know right it's not it's not the the true crime that is uh yeah that our boy george is working on the back end of this
interviewed Dr. George Church in 2015 because he had recently made the claim that it would soon be possible to clone Neanderthals. They asked him, will you witness the birth of a Neanderthal baby in your lifetime? And he replied, I think so. But boy, there are a lot of parts to that.
That's when Dr. Church first started seriously pushing de-extinction as a scientific topic, right? Where he was, I think you can find some quotes where he sort of talked about the possibility, but 2014 and 15 is when he really is like, this is an actual thing we can and should do and maybe even a potential business that I want to be in.
there's like i would say like four or five people who probably know exactly there's like four or five yeah maybe who know exactly yeah uh i yeah i continue to be you know uh an agnostic i'm an epstein agnostic uh but definitely fucking george church i feel like knows more than he's letting on
I'm doing great. I'm excited to hear more. This feels weird to say out loud, but I'm excited to hear more about Jeffrey Epstein and everything he's been up to with our boy George Church.
