This is my first time reading about Cambrian Genomics and the story of Austen Heinz. I am extremely impressed by the ingenuity in such a neatly coupling of ambition and execution - it was as if at the age of 27 Austen had managed to secure almost all the right puzzle pieces to co-found a high-impact start-up that will change the world - and of course tremendously startled by what happened after the DEMO Labs incident which led to his death. It was so wrong on many levels. There is a surrealistic irony about the nature of Austin's synthetic dream which does not quite entertain the idea of messy nature and the notion of fault tolerance and, that, in my humble opinion, is the fundamental trait which would enable one to realise the greatest dreams such as that of Austin's. On the contrary the synthetic dream puts a great emphasis on purpose-orientated design and doesn't appear to care about the process of evolution, least fault tolerance, and that, in my humble opinion again, is often what people need the most when they are depressed (it will be nice to see more cognitive research done on the development of this trait and its interplay with the depressive state of mind). Rest in peace, Austen Heinz. Your accomplishments are very inspiring and it was very sad that things turned out this way. There are so much we can learn from the mad unfolding of chaos and this tragedy of yours would continue to serve as a post-mortem precautionary tale for the future generations of aspiring young entrepreneurs.
