    I’ve now talked to some pretty well-qualified bio PHDs with expertise in stem cells, gene therapy, and genetics. While many of them were skeptical, none of them could point to any part of the proposed treatment process that definitely won’t work.

    absolutely classic crank shit

      I talked to some pretty well-qualified math PhDs with expertise in analytic number theory, algebraic number theory, and geometric number theory. While many of them were skeptical, none of them could point to any part of my proposed proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem that definitely won’t work.

      I bet all of them pointed out the multifarious ways it could not work, though, and this guy heard “it shouldn’t work… but it might”.

      Frankly, good; he removed himself from the gene pool and we can probably learn something from his remains.

      That or we all get Kronenburg’d.
