Pension funds own a lot of it but the Fed has more on their balance sheet, about a third of all US debt. But this is the same situation with most central banks - ECB, BoE - they have roughly a third of their respective national debts on the

Feels like gene editing is at a point where more frequent lab escapes of self-replicating airborne pathogens is just a question of time. Not to mention the speed of progress in biotech and synthetic biology means soon this stuff can be done

For Spotify JRE is just legitimacy and market leadership, I don’t think they expect to make the $100m back from ads or people paying to hear Joe Rogan. It was just an acquisition to try to get podcast distribution synonymous with Spotify. F

JRE clips still get posted on YouTube but not the full recordings, which is annoying. I haven’t listened to many recently as a result. Just giving people the freedom to listen/watch wherever they like would be best. I usually prefer Yo
