Day 58, week 11, finished!
Discussing 3rd order effects:
Stars dimming, historical discovery, artificial cells giving commands, and EMF controlled DNA.
It's a helpful (and fun) exercise to imagine what's possible—useful when making decisions.
Articles Discussed
Fun framing for this article. I like the framing because activates the imagination and wonder, which are good mental muscles to exercise.

Next up: Artificial Humans?
"Printable Artificial Neurons That “Talk” to Living Brain Cells"
My first thought after seeing this was, "Someone is going to try to weaponize this."
