Massively parallelizing everything, programmable perturbations, lab automation
Around the same time that we stagnated in our ability to build big things in the physical world—especially in the West—we got really good at precisely manufacturing small things. Here, I’m talking about semiconductor manufacturing. We developed the ability to precisely engineer circuits on the scale of micrometers, and ultimately nanometers. This enabled the personal computer revolution that changed the world. We now have a global communication network that lets use share our memes and dreams with anybody in the world. Meanwhile, biology was undergoing its own revolution. We transitioned…
