Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

why do they keep calling it *genics, as if everyone doesn't immediately understand what you mean
Well you see, if they used a real technical term for an existing genetics technique or technology, their fantasy might be limited by the limits of reality, so instead they user complicated jargon terms to signal they are talking about ~~fantasy~~ "near future" techniques and technologies.
They have a clause for "Most adult HIA methods (anything involving brain surgery or gene editing) would probably be somewhat hard to scale up a lot; some may be quite easy to scale up (e.g. non-editing brain drugs)."
Something something used surgical equipment in Ziz' van, something something they do like their pills.
