I’d offer a perspective that many (most?) of the problems to be solved across biotech (and really, within healthcare) are NOT technological (necessary but insufficient) they are systemic, political, economic, or more clearly, not things a bright young talented individual would want to spend time on.

Nowadays, a lot of AGI-pilled friends reply to me that they can have a bigger impact on healthcare through enabling generalist AI. I also wonder about that sometimes - as someone on the intersection of AI and bio, and excited about both. Sometimes feels like 'two roads diverged in a wood'...
Yes!!!!! Have been thinking recently about the 2x2 of smart/dumb on one axis and happy/sad on the other. Biotech is so firmly in sad/smart that they (we) tend to think anyone happy *must* be dumb. We can be happy/smart! A better world is possible!
