1/ INCREDIBLE!

TECH of SCIENCE
Matter that matters––
from Lux family founder Sriram Subramanian

Using cutting-edge imaging TECH from his new venture (Gandeeva) found + funded by Lux partner @AGoulburn

Revealed here
the actual ATOMIC structure
of spike protein of Omicron...
2/ This is 2.8 Angstrom (just a few atoms)

To understand how small this is
1 human hair = ~1,000,0000 Angstrom

We are getting resolution at the scale of atoms that make up a virus that are one-one-millionth the width of a human hair...
3/ To put this in perspective
it would be like looking at NYC (Manhattan 25km long) from SPACE by satellite
and being able to precisely image
and see a tiny single screw (25mm)!
4/ Here is @WIRED covering how our Lux family founders work in the TECH of SCIENCE (cutting-edge imaging) is converging with cutting-edge AI... wired.com/story/ai-softw…
5/ And here is the source scientific paper revealing the data from the cutting-edge CRYO-EM

(you can think of it a bit like 'The Matrix' bullet time but for seeing atoms)...
biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
6/ "Subramaniam’s Omicron paper included results AI hasn’t yet conquered—a combo structure for a spike bound to the human protein it targets-–the variant’s structural changes allow it to bind host cells more strongly while also being less vulnerable to antibodies...
7/....from previous strains, a combination that appears to explain why Omicron can overrun even highly vaccinated communities."

PRIVATE freedom to refuse vaccine should be OK with us all

so long as the costs of resulting hospitalizations
are also PRIVATE and not slapped to PUBLIC

Refusal to reduce spread + stressing zero-sum hospital system should be met with refusal to socialize costs to others
2/

this is the way

npr.org/sections/coron…
3/ NO

lung cancer + obesity are not directly contagious or infectious or consuming zero-sum hospital attention in epidemic

In free market: all smokers + most (not all) obese make personal choices taking higher risks which are fairly reflected in their high insurance costs

1 I own Bitcoin

2 Just remember every time Bitcoin goes down it is good for Bitcoin because bitcoin going down means it can go up more from where it went down. So this is a good thing. Very good. The lower it goes the more room it has to go up and entice new believers. Praise Be
3 Also if you really “do the work” + “go deep” + get after it + read the links down the rabbit hole🐇⚫️, like really go deep doing the work reading the links down the hole...

You will KNOW that it is VERY rare to see 3 troll pattern which is a setup for the next leg movement
4/ If anyone disagrees with this analysis let them have fun being poor + remind them they aren't going to make it, + let them know they are a 🤡 and a total idiot 🤦‍♂️ and then go and show them what they are missing by buying more and do it on lots of total conviction leverage

1/ The intellectual worldly words + BREADTH + DEPTH
of Lux’s @DannyCrichton—who ran TechCrunch—is just awe inspiring

The power to show + tell + synthesize —with CODE
(aka words) is the power to put you ‘there’ + put ideas in your head

A few of his best from JUST the last year
2/ One of my faves on the HISTORY + FUTURE
of US-China trade policy…
3/ And brilliant @DannyCrichton controversial piece on FREE SPEECH in the 21st century…

1/ Maybe the most important lesson of the exhaustive list from the next 365 tweets covering my most important non-obvious unusual + RARE things that happened this year…
2/ …is that nobody knows nothing, an uncertain future is eclipsed only by overconfident certitude of us humans, we are rarely humble, often wrong, more things can happen than will, and patience and sitting still is hard for me and…
3/ Genetics (nature) and other events + external (non-supernatural) forces acting on us explains way more than we wish to see, we have way less agency and “free will” than we believe…

UNITED we stand
DIVIDED we fall

with so many short-sighted, self-interested, greedy domestic* political + financial + media opportunists who profit by manipulating, provoking, stoking anger, fear, disdain that DIVIDES “us”

*foreign enemies seek to foment US civil war too—
2/
If I were Xi or Putin—i would have full-time intel agents exploiting democracy + free speech in the US

finding + exploiting EVERY possible US identity division

-Left x Right
-Rich x Poor
-Woke x Non
-Young x Old
-Future v Past
-Religion x Religion
-Capitalist x Socialist
3/
If i were Xi or Putin—I’d sow seeds of dissent + divide with rabble-rousing, publishing op-eds, endless TV guest provocations, organizing protests, chip away at institutions + authority—stoke distrust + disdain for ‘other’ + rip + fray the social fabric to destabilize the US
