Fair enough Chis, you can kook and run in regard to Ron Paul and discussing things. And yes, politics is not considered a good topic for investment discussions. But a casual inspection of the investment landscape shows that politics dominates investment in company after company. Ron Paul might be a kook in your understanding of kookdom, but a LOT of financially literate people think that a free market in money rather than compulsory financial relativity theory monetary mania forced by the Federal Reserve would be a good thing.

It seems to me that the kooks are those who kook and run and refuse to reason.

In the case of GNOM, medical insurance is a very big deal.

If Obamacare involves no testing being allowed and everyone is forced to insure everyone for everything then it will be illegal to get a GNOM test and use that information to demonstrate low risk and therefore a reason for a low insurance premium.

The whole point of insurance is to assess risk and share the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns. To the extent that known knowns can be increased, risk can be better assessed. GNOM enables a lot of known knowns to be developed.

There are other uses for GNOM information.

I'm about to invest in a dairy factory [spray dried milk powder]. One of the products will be infant formulae. One of the problems with infant formulae is that some babies with the wrong dna get a 7% reduction in intelligence, meaning badly developed brain, if they are fed with formula. That is a disaster and should be avoided if possible.

There are a few solutions. One is to breast feed the baby. Wet nurses are not so common these days. Some mothers are unable to feed - there is some skill in developing the technique and some are unable to do it. Some are unable to do it for other reasons. If the baby has that dna, a wet nurse should be hired. Umbilical cord blood and GNOM testing could provide the necessary information in hours.

Genetic engineering is another way to avoid the problem and many other problems could be avoided at the same time. The natural way of having babies might be made illegal under Obamacare and all babies might have to have bad dna eliminated in a genetic engineering correction facility. Mothers are not keen to give their infants cystic fibrosis, haemochromatosis, sickle cell anaemia, downs syndrome, or any number of genetic disasters.

Another way to avoid infant formulae brain failure is to produce better milk. Find out why the babies get the brain deficit and produce formulae which avoid that. It might be that certain dna can't process cow proteins. Maybe cow udders could be genetically engineered to produce human milk, not cow milk.

GNOM will enable a huge number of problems to be solved. Ignorance is not bliss.

People think the mobile Cyberspace realm is a big deal. It is. And will become a vastly bigger deal. But DNA is an even bigger deal. It is actually what we are. GNOM will enable DNA information to be put into Cyberspace as CDNA [Cyberspace DNA] and used for a million things. GNOM and CDNA will be as big a deal as QCOM and CDMA.

CDNA will be worth $trillions and GNOM will enable the industry just as QCOM enabled the CDMA $trillions industry.

For example, baby brains will grow properly. That's as big a deal as it gets [in human terms].
