genetic entropy is something that he mentions a lot in this book genetic entropy is really really stupid but i'm also not a geneticist and not kind of that's not really my world yeah i'll be the first one to admit that i'm not a geneticist again i'm not a geneticist i can't say for certain genetics is not my forefront because i'm not a geneticist again not a geneticist and i'm not a geneticist i'm not a biochemist i don't i'm not a geneticist we should have a conversation about genetic entropy i've heard you speak to like crisper and stuff like that before and uh i would be very interested to have that chat i'm not very you know well versed as i said for like the 20th time i'm not very well versed in genetics yes so here's the thing and i'm gonna use this to segue into genetic entropy because i feel like that's kind of where you're you know pulling a little bit which is fine because i got my notes right here because i don't know enough about you next again i cannot emphasize enough how this is not my field i would as i continued to kind of begrudgingly admit throughout the course of this conversation that genetics really isn't kind of my field um i can talk to you a lot about you know other stuff but genetics isn't it i don't know about because this isn't my field genetics really isn't kind of my field we're not going to be touching very much on genetic entropy i feel very comfortable hand waving it i'm not a geneticist that's on my field i wish i could give you a better answer i can't give you great answers because i don't know them so human genome project was completed in april of 2003 now this was a project that went on for 13 years some scientists decided let's figure out where we came from let's figure out um what our genetics are made of and what's going on inside of our bodies from generation to generation and they found that we actually lose one to two percent of our information as human beings per generation so for example my son he has one to two percent less genetic information than i do when he has a son he's going to have one to two percent less genetic information evolution teaches that information gets better we start adding information through mutations they say but these scientists and the human genome project worldwide world-renowned scientists all of our best decided and they found that we lose information folks you can only lose so much information before we're going to go extinct you
