1 00:00:04,710 --> 00:00:03,189 to manipulate 2 00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:04,720 a human 3 00:00:11,589 --> 00:00:08,240 body to evolve something better 4 00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:11,599 requires a near god-like level of 5 00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:13,200 understanding 6 00:00:19,349 --> 00:00:16,720 to do the manipulation so that when you 7 00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:19,359 you put you change this dna here 8 00:00:25,509 --> 00:00:22,880 this base pair here it it will have 9 00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:25,519 resonating effects up and down the whole 10 00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:27,199 growth of the body so you have to 11 00:00:32,069 --> 00:00:29,519 somehow encompass a knowledge of that 12 00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:32,079 one change might have a disastrous 13 00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:34,800 effect later on in development of the 14 00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:35,920 brain 15 00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:36,719 so 16 00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:40,000 can't do right now i mean there's a 17 00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:42,079 there's a whole branch of biology called 18 00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:44,800 synthetic biology where they're 19 00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:47,039 basically starting it with with bacteria 20 00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,000 where we're trying to engineer organisms 21 00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:52,239 in the simplest ways 22 00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:55,280 but usually it's one gene at a time it's 23 00:01:00,549 --> 00:00:57,520 not an organismal 24 00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,559 systems-wide alteration because it 25 00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:02,879 requires that level of 26 00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:05,040 of gestalt 27 00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:08,720 to understand all of that and so 28 00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:11,200 so if you are going to postulate an 29 00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,439 intelligence at that level 30 00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,360 that's capable of doing that 31 00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:17,520 the changes that it would it would 32 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:20,159 introduce would be so subtle 33 00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:22,080 that there's no
