He seems like the jackpot. Way back in 1991 I planned to invest in Qualcomm and telecommunications for a decade then switxh to CDNA from CDMA.

Apart from a skirmish with son's non hodgkins lymphoma cancer and Techniclone and a dally wirh Complete Genomics I was mugged by reality here and there including a poor choice of investing partners in a dairy factory.

17 years since my big move to DNA amd i have little progress. Still in Qualcomm. But Prof Tim Bates who is an intelligence researcher did tell me about 3 years ago that the genes picture for intelligence is more complicated than we hoped. I am not yet in the business of selling DNA ssrvices for eugenics.

Your bloke is probably spread too thin with so many languages though son Tarken could do japanese, french, english, mandarin while having loads of capacity for eclectic expertise in software, poker, snow boarding, and a lot more besides.

Made in China has competitive advantage in CDNA because the USA hamstrings itself with FDA this and that as applied to 23andMe while so-called ethicists stop people figuring out how to do this and that.

I attended about 10 years ago a "Who gets born" conference in Auckland. It was a genetic engineering bioethics discussion. Magical thinking religious people put the kibosh on good ideas. Dressing their prejudices and ignorance as ethics gave them great virtue signalling power.

People who can't do much of anything and who understand less can stop people who can.

In China they seem more interested in what works. But it is a suppressive realm with little to no trust. Dog eat dog and human eat dog.

So Team USA might well win in CDNA as in so much else.
Where does your CDNA (tm) ninja do his work?

ElM probably thought Irwin Jacobs was an inch wide and a mile deep too. But Irwin's wondrous creation enabled ElM to earn a living climbing poles a few inches high and not many inches wide. ElM also earned money digging trenches a few inches wide and several inches deep to install fibre.

My neighbour in Antwerp Karl Michel was a solid state physicist and his friend back then in 1987 was an optical fibre naker. I was drooling with excitement and quivering with expectation at their mile deep and inches wide knowledge and ideas. They had the crown jewels between them.

Karl showed me some of what he was working on. In my heyday I could do some pretty hit stuff maths but his was another order of magnitude or two leap into the future. Bootstrapping itself into Cyberspace.

It's good that ElM can keep us on the straight and narrow but he reminds me of walking with friends in Italy near Varese where they lived and dogs would bark madly in dersnged territorial fury at passersby. No doubt those dogs thought they really had it all figured out and were keen to explain to us.

I wonder if they bark at dog eat dog and human eat dog Made in China Mainlanders. Unwise.
