The next software revolution: programming biological cells | Sara-Jane Dunn
Visit to get our entire library of TED Talks, transcripts, translations, personalized Talk recommendations and more. The cells in your body are like computer software: they’re “programmed” to carry out specific functions at specific times. If we can better understand this process, we could unlock the ability to reprogram cells ourselves, says computational biologist Sara-Jane…

The Simple Habit for a Happier Social Life | Nicholas Epley | TED
We are wired for connection, and yet many of us spend most of our lives avoiding it, says behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley. Drawing on decades of research into happiness, loneliness and well-being, he reveals why we consistently underestimate how receptive others are to connecting — and invites us to seize the small moments that lead…

Insight : Biology is like kids, you have to dominate it carefully with care, nurture it, guide it without being harsh. Plus, you and your intentions have to be very pure, like parents approach towards kids. Then only Biology will work in your favour, otherwise adversely. Domination should be enchanting, not brutal. Also, Biology works as a team, this should be considered too. One literally has to use emotions to program Biology.
Edit: scope of Biology could be beyond cell level to global level, like a global consciousness or emergence. This is because of millions of years of evolution and connections at quantum level. This needs to be considered too. As of now it behaves like grumpy kid locally.

This is how women in science get recognition. By being amazing at their job and presentation. Not through SJW bullshit.

She’s naming all these positive things when in all reality it’s all lies because they will never use this for the good of the people. They want population control and this would literally put it right in their hands. The crap they spray in the air is already changing our DNA wait till 5G rolls out completely that’s going to mutate our DNA not to mention all the other harmful crap it does. Don’t get me started on their vaccines. God programmed me just fine and my DNA is what it’s meant to be

I like to think of the genome, or dna, as a long ribbon, with codes along the ribbon being utilized from birth (start of genome, start of code) to death (end of genome, end of code)…. 2,500,000,000 genes is approximately 1 gene being executed each second.

Its amazing that every cell in you is replaced and only your conscious stays the same.
This could be that through water somehow it transfers the information or might actually be on the quantum level.
