Quote of the Day
Our users don’t just do Nucleus for themselves — they do it for themselves and their loved ones. Now, I’m proud to say that care can start before a child is even born.
Nucleus launched a year ago with 12 analyses. Our earliest users were those who already knew the promise that genetics holds for the future of health. We kept building to bring the vision we shared with them to fruition.
Soon after launch, we’d doubled the number of analyses. Then we 10x’d them. By the spring, we’d added over 900 diseases — including the one my cousin died from. Months later, we launched genetic matching to help parents understand hidden risks they could pass down to their children.
With the launch of genetic matching, parents started asking us a new question: What else can I know about my future child?
We launched Nucleus Embryo for parents who want to know more — so Nucleus is built for longevity at every stage of life. Nucleus Embryo enables parents undergoing IVF to analyze and compare up to 20 embryos across over 900 hereditary conditions and 40 additional analyses beyond basic viability, spanning cancers, chronic conditions, appearance, cognitive ability, mental health, and more.

If you have not read Brave New World and do not plan to, then at least read the synopsis. What Nucleus Embryo is doing is the prerequisite to Brave New World.
I’m not saying there will be no good come from this. I’m saying, like most tools, it can be used for evil as well as good. And Aldous Huxley wrote one of the How-To manuals for the evil use scenarios.
Yes, heaven forbid a couple just get married, have children, and help them grow up to be strong healthy individuals.
Although I hate the term “natural selection”, it certainly has worked wonderfully for, I don’t know, like for the entirety of world history.
(With very few irregularities I might add.)
And only evil disguised as something good would try to change it.
Manipulation has consequences. Many times, not to your liking.
The health/life insurance companies have a HUGE financial interest in gathering that information in order to price policies. And they will not price them to YOUR benefit.
Anyone who knows anything about human history will know this is NOT a good idea…
I am sorry but you will not be allowed to breed.
It’s for the children!
How’s this for a “Brave new world’?
The Collapse of Scientific Materialism
And the end of the Enlightenment. Ted Gioia correctly observes ten warning signs of the comprehensive collapse of the knowledge system known as “modernity”.
Scientific studies don’t replicate.
Public distrust of experts has reached an intensity never seen before.
The career path for knowledge workers is breaking down—and many only have unpaid student loans to show for their years of training and preparation.
Funding for science and tech research is disappearing in every sphere and sector.
Universities have lost their prestige, and have made enemies of their core constituencies.
Plagiarism is getting exposed at all levels from students to corporations—and all the way to Harvard’s president. But the authorities just take it for granted.
AI is imposed everywhere as the new expert system. But when it hallucinates and generates ridiculous responses, the authorities (again) take this for granted.
Science and technology are increasingly used to manipulate and exploit, not serve. People now see actual degradation in every sphere of technology.
Scandals are everywhere in the knowledge economy (Theranos, Sam Bankman-Fried, collapsing meme coins, COVID, etc).
We hear constant bickering about “fake science”—from all political and ideological stances. Nobody talks about “true science.”
All of these things are the direct result of the subversive attack on Christendom by Clown World. It is not possible to have science without truth, and it is not possible for Man to recognize truth while rejecting Truth. Modernity is a spiritual and philosophical sickness that is based upon a false foundation of subversion and groundless pride.
Every virtue of Clown World is a vice. Every stated truth is a lie. And it is not possible to build anything, from a functioning school to a thriving society, on what is, in the end, a philosophy of parasites.
What comes next is collapse, followed by the harsh and pitiless rule of those whose devotion to God, truth, and beauty will no know mercy for those who ruined the world due to their stupid and futile ambition to make themselves gods.
