We would all be fucking immortal. There would probably be some mutants though. But you gotta crack some eggs.
- icinnamon 13y agoHi- Ian from Immunity Project here. Thank you for your support! We know our fundraising approach for this experiment is novel, and we believe it's the fastest way to get it done.
- nickthemagicman 13y agoThanks for stepping out on a limb and doing something disruptive and new! We need more open source science!

This is slightly tangential, Alex Tabarrok's book Launching the Innovation Renaissance is good on the subject of FDA inertia and spending too much time trying to prove efficacy and too little emphasis on experimentation and rapid iteration: http://www.amazon.com/Launching-Innovation-Renaissance-Market-ebook/dp/B006C1HX24?ie=UTF8&tag=thstsst-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957 http://www.amazon.com/Launching-Innovation-Renaissance-Marke... .
- nickthemagicman 13y agoDamn bro you're dropping eggs of wisdom on all of us. I agree. You give the kids a PCR machine and suddenly everyone is dead. Better stop now before it's too late.
