Human biology

and parchments and papyrus from documents that have been exposed to the elements that said you'll never know what's in there.

And now the technology, the spectrographic technology, the 3D scanning technology, the infrared technology, allows us to look at the same time that we have the consciousness to want to look we're asking what do they say who are we what does this mean in our past at the same time uh that we're at this this convergence point where technology and human biology are all coming together uh i tend to look at even the bigger picture and we were just up at gaia robert you heard me share a little bit about this the texts that we're now able to read are telling us that we are in toward the end portion of a cyclic process that happens about every 12 500 years it's driven by a burst of high energy cosmic cosmic particles emitted from the center of our milky way when they impact uh our world our whole solar system by the way is going through this warming is happening to all the planets global warming it's not just earth um and uh rotational anomalies and shifts on axes and all those things it's not just earth so we it's only now as we're at the end stages and i'm hesitating because i want to get too deep in this but as we're at the the closing chapters not the end but the closing chapters of that cycle the end of anything is by definition the beginning of what comes next and there has to be a generation that bridges those two worlds i believe we are that generation and we that's why we're living lifetimes within lifetimes well we've come from from an a vinyl lp phonograph past the eight track tapes and the the cds the i rented a vehicle recently there's not even a cd player in the cars you run at the airport anymore because now everything is digital you know what comes after that i guess it's quantum but all that happened in one lifetime in one lifetime so i think that's that's no accident and so the technology has been dumped in our laps with no guard rails arguably one of the most advanced technologies humankind will ever develop artificial intelligence has now been made available to the general public behind the scenes has been available for years military applications darpa all of that but no guardrails, and people make it what they want to make it.

There are very troubled young people who are making it their friends, who are taking advice, health advice, life advice.

There are young people who now have taken their lives because the AI evaluated their problems and said, you know, there's no way out.

He is also a research associate at the University of California Museum of Paleontology.

Greg received his bachelor's degree in human biology from Stanford University and his PhD in integrative biology from the University of California, Berkeley.

Afterwards, Greg received an NSF fellowship to conduct postdoctoral research at the University of Helsinki in Finland.

And before moving to the University of Washington, he was the curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

That is why dosage, preparation, and caution matter so much.

When a medicinal plant works, it may be working in the deepest and most vital chambers of human biology.

Plant molecules often fit human biology because life shares ancient chemistry.

One of the deepest reasons medicinal plants can affect us at all is that life on Earth is related.

Plants, fungi, animals, and microbes all arose from ancient biochemical ancestry.
