We are accelerating towards an unknown territory, and I don't see anyone addressing the ramifications. This is simply amazing.

I don't like to give details about my career, but I was involved in UK biobank, and I feel very proud to have been a part of history.



The journal article is to be published soon.

The illuminati NGS is becoming very cheap now, and software is become more and more sophisticated . 20,000 genes will soon turn into 2,000,000 million genes identified in a GWAS.

These new techniques working in together with a Natera-type microarray tech, where the mother just needs to her give blood during the first trimester, and we can finally have carefully planned families. One of the objectives of the old progressives is finally going to realized.

The nurture vs nature debate has always been a hobby/passion of mine, and I have been able to focus my career in finance around this. You never know where a practical career choice in college can lead you! A lesson to all you students out there

If allowed, the only people who would take advantage of such a test are high-income, high IQ people, who as a group already have high-functioning children. Sure it will make a difference for individual families but not society as a whole. The groups of people that you think should be tested won't be.

Methods already exist for producing high-functioning children: martial partner selection, child peer selection, school selection, enrichment activities. These are things that low IQ and low-income people not only do not do, but they aren't even aware that they should be done or why.

This is an excellent point. I think there will just end up being a huge Gap between classes much more than before. It will be like the income and achievement gap in the Bay Area and northern California , but Amplified by a very large number.
