Article author here - lots of interesting perspectives, I can't respond to them all, but I think this comment and the issues of bias induced by asymmetric application of trust (or vitriol) is important to consider. Some other interesting points on probability etc. - happy to discuss further. Perhaps a call sometime? We're of course open to feedback & civil discourse, and I've always admired the ycombinator crowd. I thought of applying to start a phage therapy company, but investors required a patent, which requires disclosing the tech to the whole world, and the tech can be used to make extremely dangerous viruses capable of killing people, so I folded on that venture. Anyways, I appreciate all of you entrepreneurs and smart people & your efforts to make the world better with disruptive innovations. I'm here - feel free to email me at alex.washburne@joinselva.com if you want to discuss anything further, and if possible perhaps a call with many people present and organized questions could be a way to engage in productive discourse? I'm flexible!
