“…the false claims that the engineered editor does not disseminate nor maintain synthetic genetic material is extremely dangerous..”

🤯🤯😡😡

I’m so impressed how fast you can write a paper.. I will read diligently but already I’m horrified. How can this be stopped?

Thank you. It does seem tragic to me. During the last 10 days or so, I did not do much of anything else. I am sure you can relate! It just seems too important to me.

It's more than sad that western world is repeating colonialisation through biodigital revolution one again.

And the most academics are noticing nothing about that.

What's the aim of microbiom inside planetary health in the future (2050, mabey 2080)?

My suggestion is: https://substack.com/@deconstructing4irnarratives/p-147253631 It's a lot of stuff and hard to read.

Go down and select the link of "Japanese Moonshot Goals".

You will find the answer. It's nothing more than a repeatition of the history one hundred years ago.

Circular Economy has no, not a single interest on stabilizing the first, natural circle. It is a elamination of the reaction of the first, natural circle as the question of immunity around Covid-19 already shown.

Only the synthetic solution is the solution that counts.

It count's what you are measuring. It doesn't count what you are not measuring. It's so easy.

The only interest of circular economy of the 21st century is, how to make buisnessmodels inside biodigital economy with the second (!) circle with so called "nature based" solutions and inside digital ecosystems as the digital twin of the immune system for personalised medicine . Everybody on the planet will get such a digital twin of the immune system. Insurances will be based on it. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41746-022-00610-z

Repeating history means: The illusion of the eugenic, malthusian idea that nature can be controlled by technology and with technology and science a new human and civilization.

History has already shown how terrible this idea can ends: the holocaust, the gulags, the millions of deaths because of Mao's great leap.

The same actors as 100 years ago playing the same chessboard once again. The only change is the new technologies: Oh, no! The next round is already here.

No, it's not okay, has nothing to do with humanity to make humans with their thinking and behavior to the ressource of capitalistic or socialistic economic ressource or both at the same time. That's the beginning of slavery. Angela Merkel and David Snower knew about that in 2018: Oh, there is a problem with digital slavery, this slavery 2.0. But let us say, people can emancipate digitally, meant Angela Merkel, if personal data is valorised, digital slaves can sell it and can get "free". https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/digital-freedom-pass-emancipation-digital-slavery

We do not even talk about making money with the so called futures, the predictive, valorised data of everybody.

Social-darwian economy is nearer than the most people suggest. Thanks to planetary and digital health.

Thanks again for this sobering analysis and the links. I have long tried to raise the issue with digital twins. Last year, I was even invited to write a letter to a prestigious journal. I needed to wait, until a certain article appeared. Meanwhile, things escalated elsewhere (I have no organization behind me and no job) and I needed to focus on other URGENT things. Then, too much time had passed.
