Craig created you?
Who told you?
Thats why he's running the plandemic

It's quite amusing to listen to Craig Venter while reading some of the comments under the video. The most amazing thing about some of them is that they actually were able to use the keyboard and write it...
Craig Venter is the guy who lead a private company and competed with the public funded Human Genome Project to map out the human genome. His team mapped out the human genome at a fractional of the cost/time of the public one.
I Look Into The Comment Sections Of Videos Like This One And I See People Actually Cheering On The Thought Of Being Turned Into A Non-Human That Can Be Controlled By Someone's Click Of A Computer Mouse...
They are them 🧟♂️🧟🧟♂️🧟🧟♂️🧟🧟♂️🧟🧟♂️🧟♀️🧟♂️
@DandBMonk You roll the dice enough times, eventually you'll get an improbable result. The real question is where the dice came from.
This has enormous implications. What comes to mind is the question of what is "life"? Just like the jump in consciousness from "knowing" we lived in a flat Earth and we were the center of existence, to realizing we are one small planet in a universe filled with galaxies, this is a huge shift in our collective consciousness.
If that isnt a list of special interests to divert and distract...but cannot justify. Truly hope ppl wake up & ppl realize this has been going on for a long time. And yeah no...not to help us...
I had a stroke while trying to read your comment and nearly fucking died.
Have you seen what else this guy has developed? He is the most evil man on the planet.
@Rasayana85
I do understand your point -you did make it clear enough, and I accept it as a valid point. The only thing that I want you to clarify is weather you believe that investors in general have no scruples about their businesses?
And if this is so, can't we also say that scientist or lawyers, in general, have no scruples about their work?
Magnificent!
I doubt the true significance of this work will be understood for decades, but even the basic practical applications so far explored are staggering.
We're at least 1 decade in now ✌
This research should be publicly funded for the public, and not funded by private corporations to be used for profit.
how am I only hearing about this just now?

Yes...the 1st for me of this guy...my mate mentioned him today...but not in regards to what they are doing,
this all ties into the bigger picture

Bill Gates is nothing compared to this guy, even though they are all playing a part in all of this.
Think about it...he's talking about these gene experiments 15yrs prior to this video...so in 1995 probably
earlier.
we should really let that sink in!!!
Also check out AKIRA.... Manga classic, this is all happening now, the Japanese told us this 35plus years ago.

@@profyle766 damn, it's almost like science fiction is based on plausible science.
Well, Craig isn't actually creating life like 3.7 billion years ago. He builds new genomes, which then have to be inserted into already existing bacteria. Only this way can these new life forms start to function. Yet, it's an unbeliavable breakthrough
I'm really at crossroads with the recent success of synthetic life. Ethics and history warn me of the coming dangers but hope and necessity excite my inner scientist. Crazy that this is actually a topic of discussion on the political front and I hope that this new tech is used for advancement of mankind and not for the destruction of it.
Oh, such things are always presented as advancement, but you know how that goes!
It’s been 12 yrs How do you feel about synthetic cells now?
This was posted on my birthday. So cool!
Most of you people don't have the slightest idea what he is talking about. Anyone who thinks his research team is creating artificial organisms that may harm us is just an idiot. He isn't using a pathogenic bacteria, and his team placed many stop codons around the watermarks he incorporated into the DNA so the organism can't accidentally produce something harmful, like a toxin, for example. But most of you don't have the slightest idea about gene expression, so you wouldn't understand that either. Arguing with UA-cam warriors will forever be a lost cause.
"flawed" Biology? there is almost nothing flawed in Biology. if there is then it goes extinct. thats how evolution works. what we might call flawed is most of the time just something we dont really understand and just think its useless. can you give me an example of what you might describe as flawed in biology? and with flawed i mean something that has no benefit to the organism and additionally has a noticable disadvantage on the survival of the organism, so please nothing like random regions in DNA.
They tried mycoplasma genitalium: that's not pathogenic?! Ha! You must be joking. It's one of the main causes of pelvic inflammatory disease, serious urinary and urethra tract infections, endometriosis and infertility, various cancers, and accelerating HIV infections. It's a horrible little bacterium that should have been annihilated instead. At best, these were lazy, unconscientious scientists looking for a small genome to work with yet oblivious to any possible devastating future consequences. At worst, diabolical ones now able to achieve those consequences.
David VanDerway you're an idiot ! Mess with chromosones mess with bacteria & you open another door you're a spook a government spook or a an idiot this is Frankenstein & the work of the devil check out my You tube Videos you'll see what's going on around the world people are deeply infected & these bastards are saying people are delusional you're blinded by ignorance ! Fact
Read this you stupid people see what MG can do
Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall around their cell membrane. Without a cell wall, they are unaffected by many common antibiotics such as penicillin or other beta-lactam antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis. They can be parasitic or saprotrophic.
David VanDerway who are you trying to convince?
This was 12 years ago and I'm just learning about it now?
I always say they dont release this kind of info unless it's old news. So imagine what they can really do.
The Science channel has two hours on this TONIGHT. About time it's getting a little coverage. You'd think it'd be front page news on every paper.
Fascinating, another great achievement of science. :) And little scary... easily could be beginning of apocalyptic movie. :-)
And here we are 2021
😅 sus rna vaccines
This is a hugely exciting development, especially with regard to viral and bacterial diseases and new energy development. It also however, has the potential to become more of a threat to humanity than nuclear warfare.
Hello Eugenics.
Far, far beyond eugenics. gates will be able to have an army of synths and won't have to pay or feed them. He'll be able to have one that matches him (almost) in his god-like asperations.
@BioJoker47 key points:
-my team and I created a living cell by putting chemicals together the right way
-The cell we made can reproduce, so it's really alive
-We did it with the help of computer programs we made to run equipment we made to do this
-We're going to try to make more living cells and try to make them so they can do things that will help humans and our planet.
-We "watermarked" it, which means we put in stuff that shows it was made by us.
yeah Corona Virus here we go...
Thats really going to bugger up the idea of the "Soul". Yet another nail in Yaweh's coffin thank goodness.
It's not the knowledge that man seeks, but what man might do with that knowledge that keeps me up at night. Their is only one true God.
@neoaeonian Yours is an excellent question and probably approachable at least. Better to tackle your question than my question which was "Where to draw the line? or, "How far is too far?"
This man is brilliant as are his team I am sure, truly exploring areas in biology that are fascinating and immeasurably practical for our future
like corona virus?
I hate to be a party pooper, but . . . .
is it truly 100% synthetic if they had to use yeast to organize the chromosome.
They were using pre made life (yeast) to organize chemicals into a chromosome for synthetic life.
I know it's a semantics argument, but i think the whole process should be done with computers,chemicals, and non living tools to be truly synthetic. Still amazing accomplishment none the less.
This is the highest form of INSANITY! This guy, IMO, is wanting to play GOD! Dangerous!
The scientists may not be particularly interested in playing god, but I bet my bottom dollar the war machine will when, if they haven't already, get their hands on it.
He is trying to be God. This is not Good. Only God himself knows our body better than Us.
This is very cool; they may not have built the cell from scratch, but the fact that we have the capacity to synthesize a functional artificial genome speaks volumes of the progress biology has made in recent years. To think we only discovered the shape and structure of DNA 50+ years ago floors me. Can't wait to see where they go from here.
@ 15:28 he side stepped the question totally and began by explaining why, “I’m not sure we’re the ones that should be explaining how significant it is...”.
Here’s the simple reason he does not tell us why his discoveries are so significant...
He who controls the cell, controls the organism.
He who controls the DNA, controls the cell.
He’s not telling us the real story behind his discoveries and who is actually benefiting.
Damn, that's crazy. Tell me more on how he can control such tiny, molecular parts of an organism with the technology we have today.
So this is why Biden is mandating vaccines 🤣🤣🤣 oh we are so doomed. 😔
@neoaeonian
Damn lecture notes to be hard to find. This is more like the numbers we are talking about:
Yr 1-2: Drug Discovery: $3 mil. 100 projects going for every drug to hit the market.
Yr 3-11: Clinical Trials: $225 mil. Most projects is never tested clinically because the companies cant afford the risk: After 5.5 years only 20 of these projects are competing to hit the market.
Well, surely a great achievement. But I agree with some posters here, it is not truely new life (what is implied), all they do is piggyback on existing cells. Interesting enough, we still really can't create new life, we can only manipulate existing one, since we don't know what life really means and how it all works. Very intereresting nevertheless and a lot for work. So I'm curious what practical applications this might have.
re practical applications - to get bacteria to do things like create solar biofuels, pull carbon dioxide from the air and convert it to useful products like ammonia, eat plastic, etc - lots of environmental apps, and medical ones too, like with vaccines as Craig Venter mentioned in the vid
You won't have any of these pesky worries when you wake up in a brand new synth body with your consciousness implanted into it courtesy of the WEF.
Bingo, you are right on...
@graphattic
I agree that there is too little regulations in some areas.
The reason that I mentioned Anthrax before is that it has a quality that smallpox does not have, and that is that it doesn't spread as rapidly; it is easy to handle and so on, I would doubt synthesized organism would have any chances to "go wild" so to speak. If it will be used to enginer bioweapons I would expect it to function more like a very cruel conventional weapon than an actual decease.
Wow, this is the most amazing, fantastic thing I've heard in a long time!
One small step for man, a giant leap for mankind.

Did I miss something or was this not a new 'synthetic cell' but exchanging the DNA of an existing cell ???
you missed something
I can create synthetic life. My shit moves on its own after I eat something made from Monsanto crops.
@Finiras No- a strand of DNA was decoded, stored in a computer, altered a bit, rebuilt by a machine in lots of little strands, stitched together, and then inserted in a yeast cell.

@neoaeonian Re: make products that people want... Do a search for this other TED speaker. "Gregory Stock: To upgrade is human" and you'll get an idea as to what kind of "products" corporations will want to make.
Also another TED speaker who talks about the same subject is, "Barry Schuler: An introduction to genomics"
This is amazing, wouldn't that be astounding if we were able to create, say, dog-sized life forms!? That would be such an accomplishment!!!
@graphattic
I follow what you say, but my question was about your remark on that there isn't any scientists among the top wealthiest. What could we expect to be different if there were?
If that is not the focus of your argumentation I will not argue about it, but take it as a sidenote. It would still interest me why you noted it the first time.

With that said: I would also like to see stronger regulations on conventional weapons. Any weapon is a potential weapon of mass destruction, given a sufficiently long life-time.
Be sure to keep in mind he has stated in multiple lines that the synthetic cell is not made from scratch. It is existing cell material being mixed together in a unique way. So no, they have not created life. They have merely altered it. In light of what they have done, I give them kudos. But as for creating life, they are only doing the same thing that scientists have been doing for years: altering already living material.
Uhh, no. They made their own genome, synthesized it and implemented that into a empty cell hull.
That is basically creating life. The only thing here is the already existing empty cell hull. Which would take some work, but could also be synthesized. But what would be the point if it's readily available?
no they did something completely new. they transplanted the chromosomal DNA from one bacterium species to another. aditionally the transplanted DNA was not produced by its species of origin.
@@MagnificentXXBastard He mentions that they used yeast as a constructor multiple times though.
@@MagnificentXXBastard Why is the same question not asked of what they have done?
@@loop1479 What do you mean?
Someday, the next generation will ask us where we were when the first synthetic life form was created. Only 20,000 of us will be able to give them an answer.
Started with the DNA coding, built the chromosome, transplanted it into an existing bacterium and manipulating it. He didn't create life, this is a very bad attempt to take credit for creating life from chemicals, do the same experiment WITHOUT the DNA code and WITHOUT a living bacterium, and produce a living cell from chemicals alone, then you have something to claim, right now you are just playing with words, yeah, you are playing God with your DNA modifications, etc, but you are NOT creating life, but nice try...
"fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-"
-God
XD
Still using God’s created matter 🤪
Can’t beat the law of conservation 😂
I agree. To me, the fact that scientists are saying they just created something is kind of funny. Its a misuse of the term. They merely copied & made changes to a design with already existing matter.
I thought the good liar was my favorite paradox until I found the atheist who thinks he is God
Only monotheistic people would see things like that. Surely he can be a God. There's a God of wine for heaven's sake. Wine is basically just grapes and yeast, this is a bacteria (kind of). Both are microbial.
@@quentin-v9d If you think you are a god, that's one problem and if you see the right people, they'll probably give you drugs and a disability check. If you are an ATHIEST, meaning you don't believe in ANY gods yet you behave as if you are the creator of heaven and earth just trying to figure out where you left the keys... then you're another problem altogether, very likely a dark triad problem.
@@SaintTrinianz Thats a funny analogy. My grandfather always said we were lucky to have religious institutes because they look after believers who are by all counts, insane, and if we didn't have the church we'd have to look after them ourselves. As for your second statement if you read my first comment you'd see that perhaps a God doesn't have to make the heavens and the earth. Dionysius is the god of wine, he didn't make no earth that wasn't fermentable. He probably is S. cerevisiae as people envisioned him before microscopy. He probably was also drunk and struggling to find his keys.

@Rasayana85
Certainly a valid point as well, but I think atleast fear is still somewhat natural and sort of primordial as opposed to greed which is more or less intentional and even malicious.
My point is that people don't choose to be afraid, but they do choose to be greedy.
But then again...
Excess can make any emotion venomous, so possibly that's a better underlying cause for both.
NOW THEY THINK THEY ARE GODS.
Every time Humanity talked to god, we were actually just talking to ourselves.
2021. Now the KNOW they're gods. Not too many pushing back at the moment are there?
I can imagine some time in the future when parents are choosing what goes in a child's genome they will put a child's name, so that when they grow up, their name will be in every cell of their body.

MAD. Why don't you stop playing God and try to understand Him? You're bringing disaster to an already perfect system. "
If you see nature itself as being God, science would be the process of trying to understand It.
@@HeortirtheWoodwarden Hello, sorry I was rude. Nature is created and subordinate to the Source of everything, thus it undergoes 3 stages: creation, maintenance and dissolution. When mankind was more Godly, science and art tried to use things in His service to glorify Him, but both have degraded to be manipulation leading to nefarious acts with the ingredients God provides.

Note that the drug release here is after 11 years and that the expenses at that point is $250 mill. The expences reaches $450 mil just after 15-16 years, but by that time they have starting making profit; the med companies are, however, never allowed to stop researching the long term effects of their product and will thus will have to finance it.
I understand the most basic critique thou. The guy on the top gets the biggest pick; which is not only a problem for pharma.
There is without a doubt the best breakthrough of 2010. Science, fuck yeah
What's the reason for encoding the organism's website in its genetic code?
It is misleading to reference God in this, as some have. The scientific process that allows the creation of a cell is not the same as God's creation. However, the cell exists as a cell, and that is life. Great achievement.
Would this be the Morgellon's people are having rained down on them now????
@BabeReport so you disagree with my statement that this so-called artificial cell was intelligently designed & had a creator? or should i call him (dr. venter) a facilitator rather than a creator since he did not actually create life...simply booted it
@Deetwo7
With all sympathies for your opinion, I do not think that greed is the greatest of our flaws, even if it ranks among the highest.
I would say that fear is the greatest of our pitfalls. Fear of each other, fear of the unknown and fear for our own livelihoods. How much suffering aren't we ready to impose on others because of it, and how much help couldn't we have given in spite of it?
Peace, and keep fighting the good fight.

@Nezello There are a multitude of religions out there and many of them contain punishments for people who don't believe in their gods. So if you're a christian, you're still an atheist when it comes to other people's religion like Hinduism, Ancient Roman Religion, Ancient Greek Religion, etc. What if you're wrong about those gods?According to some of them, you will be punished by their gods for not believing.But it's absurd, likewise I think it's absurd to be afraid of not believing in your god.
@Chumkil Lol, it's funny how you are incapable of seeing how accurately this Psalm portrays you. God bless you, may He grant you the ability to see His light, love and mercy.

I think Craig Venter is a friggin' genius.
@captwasabi The first I heard about it was on a TV documentary a couple weeks ago called "Creating Synthetic Life" but it kind of surprises me too that it's not all over the place. I mean, it seems like something that knowing about should be unavoidable.
So it basicly relied on an "OS" and "code" already in place. Im not trying to troll or anything.
@neoaeonian
After he had given away a huge amount of money, corresponding to a big part of his fortune, he did still have a huge amount of money left. Somewhere on the way he figured "this is enough from me" which could translate to " I deserve what I have left".
Philanthropy, to love your fellow humans, is not in my eyes a measure on how much you give but how much you actually feel for your fellow human. I can't imagine that Bill chares the pain of the poor.
@adi87tya i know... it would be strange if we didnt.. considering the cards on the table..
next step will probably be to make ac ell that can execute the dna that we want..
here is the problem though.. it might not work but it might not even be needed...
there is no gurante that it is possible to make a cell that can execute any dna.. for not any dna might produce something either.
so basically if htey can mass produce already they wont need to redisgn a cell synthetically.. other then dna

@Chumkil I've been reading the bible every day for four months now and I understand it pretty well at this point. Each gospel is an interpretation of each man's account. Granted only one of them can be right about each given story, but not all of them can be accurate about the entire account. It is up to the reader to take each account into consideration and ask God for a revelation of what the truth is.
A major breakthrough if you ask me. In a couple of years we will get some really good use for this, when they know more.
@Chumkil Please, don't dissuade anyone (including layman) from inquiring about this or any subject. I appreciate your recommendation. If your going to comment on this subject, why not help to understand it by sharing knowledge. However, I understand your time is valuable.
@KastleBravo yes and another way we could have seperation is due to the illusion of space-time, matter & enegry, all the production of the true consciousness and consciousness is distributed and spread throughout space-time yet since space-time doesn't really exist and is only a mere illusion we are not truly separated.
@KevinLounsberry so they needed intelligence to determine how to mimic the cell? so you believe humans can create a 'soul'? what about a spirit? what about memory. the body has trillions of cells working together. in any case this artificial organism is an "intelligent design" and had a "creator"
Craig Venter's team has not yet synthesed a complete cell from inorganic matter. But what they did is they introduced inorganically synthesised chromosome into a existing cell. I think, their hope is, they will do similar things for other parts of the cell. With the that hope, there is this big claim: life is synthesized. If you replace a brick in SAINT PAUL'S cathedral, it does not mean you built the cathedral.
@briantoye they coded the alphabet with 4 symbols ... a t c and g ... its similar to morse code ... for example aaaa is a, aaat is b, aaac is c, aaag is d, aata is e .. etc

@jazzpsalti actually Craig Venter's company "Synthetic Genomics" is teaming up with Exxon Mobil to build a artificial algae to create a bio-fuel to replace oil, and won't affect the food supply. So that the first thing they are going to do. I think this is a great achievement of Science and Technology.
@greyseal88 (the other half of my question dealt with the word artificial.)
would you say a "test tube baby" is made "the natural way"?
what is the function of the current synthetic cell?
or is it just a feat thats its alive at all
So ive seen that this "synthetic life" uses the same 4 letter code from a bacterium and uses its transcription and translation machinery. Isnt it like a programmer inserting a usb drive with a program in it and the computer having an os that can recognize it to even use the program? Its a big difference than making a computer with its own code and operating system from scratch. So its a like "booting up" a cell with a synthetic genome and not what some sources say it is.
It's like training ants to build a ship in a bottle with just a bull whip. Science is fucking hard.
@radscorpion8 Final post: That's why I think Raeez is right..because synthetic life really does imply more than creating life with a helping hand, its literally creating life all at once. Therefore this should more correctly be described "transplanted synthetic DNA", rather than "synthetic cell" - also for practical reasons. As he wrote, what are you going to name it when they actually create life at the *most* basic level that leads to cell formation (synthetic abiogenesis?)
didn't I see something like this in a Jean Claude Van Dam film or some shit? Pretty nuts!
Metal Gear or Avatar? I don't know which one is more possible?
The "plant" created to clean oil but was really used to build metal gear
or
the Navi from Avatar where we created an entirely different species to substitute for humans.
