Hard to overstate the importance and potential of what @ArzedaCo is doing with protein design. One of the most consequential investments I've ever made.

@adambader @whoop and also have @eightsleep

RT @f: @bryan_johnson I appreciate the extra context! As a software engineer that still wonders about what could have been in an alternativ…

@f Each offers a potential path to scale, via the business partnership or direct. Some, such as BrainAge, have the potential to be a one-of-a-kind functional neuroimaging dataset of brain wellness that could unlock population level statistical power and therefore be broadly useful

@f Thank you Fred. Yes, our every decision focuses on scale. Here is what are currently doing:

1. Kernel studies - BrainAge, Attention, and Emotion.

2. Partnership studies - Gridshot (w/@aimlab), Ketamine (w/@CybinInc) and another soon to be announced.

3/@KernelCo Flow is the first neuro imaging technology in history that has this potential. It offers reliability of single subject measurements (can acquire hours of data per subject), and scalability to thousands of individuals

4/Functional brain measurements are more predictive of cognitive and psychopathological differences than structural brain measurements. We need reliable brain measurements on thousands of individuals to establish links between brain measurements and cognition/psychopathology.

1/Many questions can be mostly answered with smaller sample sizes inside MRI tombs. But the questions we care about— how to have durable mental wellness? How to fix broken things in our brains? How to improve ourselves? How society...

2/How society can build towards productive vs destructive ends—likely will be better answered with a brain imaging technology that simplifies the acquisition of repeated, whole-head cortical measurements across thousands of individuals

Study oversubscribed within hours. Love the impassioned interest in brain measurement + psychedelics
