INTELLIGENCE ENGINEERING'S ALPHABET : World Class Biobrains: Drew Endy, Matt Scullin, Daniel Swiger++- BI BioIntelligence, the most collaborative human challenge Mother Earth has ever staged?
NB any errors below are mine alone chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk but mathematically we are in a time when order of magnitude ignorance can sink any nation however big. Pretrain to question everything as earth's data is reality's judge
Its time to stop blaming 2/3 of humans who are Asian for their consciously open minds and love of education. Do Atlantic people's old populations still trust and celebrate capability of generating healthy innovative brains? What's clear to anyove visting Washington DC or Brussels is a dismal mismatch exists between the gamechanging future opportunities listed below and how freedom of next generation learning has got muddled by how old male-dominated generations waste money on adevrtising and bossing. Consider the clarity of Stanford's Drew Endy's Strange Competition 1 2:
Up to “60% of the physical inputs to the global economy”7 could be made via biotechnology by mid-century, generating ~$30 trillion annually in mostly-new economic activity. 8 Emerging product categories include consumer biologics (e.g., bioluminescent petunias,9 purple tomatoes,10 and hangover probiotics11 ), military hard power (e.g., brewing energetics12 ), mycological manufacturing (e.g., mushroom ‘leather’ 13 ), and biotechnology for technology (e.g., DNA for archival data storage14 ). Accessing future product categories will depend on unlocking biology as a general purpose technology15 (e.g., growing computers16 ), deploying pervasive and embedded biotechnologies within, on, and around us (e.g. smart blood,17 skin vaccines,18 and surveillance mucus19 ), and life-beyond lineage (e.g., biosecurity at birth,20 species de-extinction21 ).

notes on drew endy testimony on bio tech 2025 strange competition

Natural living systems operate and manufacture materials with atomic precision on a planetary scale, powered by ~130 terawatts of energy self-harvested via photosynthesis

Biotechnology enables people to change biology. Domestication and breeding of plants and animals for food, service, and companionship began millennia ago. Gene editing, from recombinant DNA to CRISPR, is used to make medicines and foods, and is itself half-a-century old. Synthetic biology is working to routinize composition of bioengineered systems of ever-greater complexity

AIH- May 2025.Billion Asian womens end poverty networking 2006-1976 is most exciting case of Entrepreneurial Revolution (survey Xmas 1976 Economist by dad Norman Macrae & Romano Prodi). In 2007, dad sampled 2000 copies of Dr Yunus Social Business Book: and I started 15 trips to Bangladesh to 2018- many with apprentice journalists. This is a log of what we found - deepened after dad's death in 2010 by 2 kind remembrance parties hoist by Japan Embassy in Dhaka with those in middle of digital support of what happened next. We witnessed a lot of conflicts - i can try and answer question chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk or see AI20s updates at http://povertymuseums.blogspot.com. I live in DC region but see myself as a Diaspoira Scot. Much of dad's libraries we transfreered with Dr Yunus to Glasgow University and enditirs og journals of social business, new economics and innovators of Grameen's virtual free nursing school.
Bangladesh offers best intelligence we have seen for sdgs 5 through 1 up to 2008, Search eg 4 1 oldest edu 4.6 newest edu ; .620th century intelligence - ending poverty of half world without electricity -although Keynes 1936 (last chapter General Theiory: Money, Interest, Employment) asked Economists to take hippocratic oath as the profession that ended extreme poverty, most economists have done the opposite. What's not understandable is how educators failed to catalogue the lessons of the handful who bottom-up empowered villages to collaboratively end poverty. There are mainly 2 inteligences to understand- Borlaug on food science -arguable the forst Biointeligence rising ar1950 on; fazle abed on everything that raised life expectancy in tropical village (zero-electricity) asia from low 40s to 60s (about 7 below norm of living with electricity and telecomes). Between 1972 and late 1990s, Abed's lessons catalogued in this mooc had largely built the nation of Bangladesh and been replicated with help of Unicef's James Grant acroo most tropical asian areas. What's exciting is the valley's mr ad mrs steve jobs invted Fazle Abed to share inteligences 2001 at his 65th birthday party. The Jobs and frineds promised to integrate abed's inteligence into neighborhod university stanfrd which in any event wanted Jobs next great leap the iphone. The Valley told abed to start a university so that women graduates from poor and rich nations could blend inteligence as Abed's bottom of the pyramid vilage began their journey of leapfrog modles now that grid infrastructures were ni longer needed for sdiar and mobile. Abed could also help redesign the millennium goals which were being greenwashed into a shared worldwide system coding frame by 2016. There at Abed's 80th birtday party , the easy bit was checking this mooc was uptodate. The hard bit - what did Abed mean by his wish to headhunt a Taiwanese American to head the university's 3rd decade starting 2020?

are you interested in mapping 10**5 metavillages

 A metavillage is an economic gravity sustaining 100000 peoples lives. Brac was designed around metavilage back in 1972 typically 15000 village homes- mothers as community builders (of the nation -bangladesh was 90% rural withoutbelectricity grids) operating microfrachsies abed designed - eg rice vilahge enetrprise, local health service/basic medicine distribution microfranchise. Peiority was given to raising life expectancy which bhad begun as 25 yeras below world average as up to a third of infants were dying and maternal health was wretched(mothers were living close to starvation and culturally expecetd to raise large families until at least 2 sons survived) 

three things to note about the scale of the original brac metaviilage

focused on triple e micrifranchsies effective, efficient, expanadable- positive cashflow however small the business- essential (life saving) purposes; once a concept was iteratively tested so that scaled across one metavillage, it was likely to scale across other metavillages

the scale of a metavilage meant that brac was wholesaling one or more key product per microfranchise  - sometimes it also did the product  eg a rice seed it had designed or open sourced (borlaug) to maximise local diversity (up to 1000% production depends on locl adadtpation - see economist article 1977) or in the case of the para health service - initially 10 most basic medicines; in this way as brac scaled nationally it led wholesaler value chains integrated around development of the poorest

clearly if a metavillage meant 15000 business (however small) with positive cash flow- banking would be needed - this was the origin of miucrofinance for good- in effect brac guaranteed a vilage mother would be profitable provided she worked hard and applied the microfranchise (sadly media like the BBC and the famous clinton originated microcreditsummit have condemned microbanking because their producers failed to understand that end poverty microfinace entrepreneurially leads value chains in trust for the poorest by being scaled to integrate human development/ family susdtainability)- see also Economist's Entrepreneurialk Revolution 1976 -would any of 2020s greatest crisies be spinning if education had specified microfrnacises as transparently as what became brac's 100000 training field force united around paulo freire culture

--------------you could look around the world - even to bi cities- where is there an artisan skill that is gravitated by one place even oif most of the livelihoods networked dont reside there; why wouldnt community colleges or universities concerned primarily with sustaining a locality, become alumni NFT identified by the village place name


there are of course lots of ways in our hyperconnected (soon to be web3 metaverse) world to go virtual too with metavilage's goal of sustaining 100000 peoples lives around a creative focus that matches eg zero footprint or provides win-wins by revolving around the sort of action learning that multiplies value in use unlike consuming things; but until the world of places is more peaceful our (WorldRecordJobs) purpose with first metavillage map is to identify gps that are where those connected see as home for the co-creative skill they celebrate bringing to the world so that families grow up
