A few first principles toward my North Star:
Earth-life emerged spontaneously from the primordial earth ~4 billion years ago and evolved itself into brand new phenomenal categories.
That a purely self-emergent, resource-constrained process could generate entirely novel categories of phenomena -- including consciousness itself -- strongly suggests our universe is capable of hosting other undiscovered phenomena. .
Natural selection was the only game in town, but isn't the only way.
An intelligently-guided, non-resource-constrained version of biology would result in forms and phenomena with as yet unimaginable capabilities.
We ourselves exist on that same biological operating system. New categories of phenomena applied to our own biology will be the ultimate, human-experience-altering exploration.
First, a short story of first principles
toward my North Star:
Life started itselfEarth-life emerged spontaneously and evolved itself into living diversity and brand new phenomenal categories.
Evolved within the limit That a purely self-emergent, resource-constrained process could generate entirely novel categories of phenomena -- including consciousness itself -- strongly suggests our universe is capable of hosting other undiscovered phenomena.
Can evolve un-constrained An intelligently-guided, non-resource-constrained version of biology would result in forms and phenomena with as yet unimaginable capabilities.
We are also bioengineerableWe ourselves exist on that same biological operating system. New categories of phenomena applied to our own biology will be the ultimate, human-experience-altering exploration.
So, let's accelerate bioengineering.
We're at the tip of the genetic hyperspace iceberg.
The kinds and scales of mechanical and phenomenological entities possible is unimaginable.

Powerfully, with AI
The chaos of biological complexity will almost certainly become best understood by AI.
The emergence of LLMs and their success with human language hints at the possiblity for new understandings of biology.
