Remember how Kary Mullis called Anthony Fauci a quack, said he doesn’t know anything about anything, specifically said PCR couldn’t be used the way they were using it for AIDS detection (and thereafter covid detection), and then suspiciously died of pneumonia right at the beginning of the pandemic?

So, technically, Jurassic Park could happen?
@axodok Says:
Finding the solution is easy. Finding the right questions to ask is the hard part.

That’s it im taking LSD now
@Djamel-e9m Says:
The "covid" PCR test is controversial. You hadn't cited it ... More stupid "it saved lives" ; can you prove it ? And what's the stupid remark of "climate denialist" ? And you think yourselves scientists ? Come on...
@nameyourchannel7844 Says:
A video from years ago of Kary Mullis explaining the PCR test exposed how the government used them to create positive covid tests, cycling way over the determined threshold...

partly automation partly lsd
@liveyourdreammedia Says:
he took lsd, other people took the pcr.

I know this will never be read but I have to say it anyway. What a crappy misleading title. Great video. I hate that creators have to do this to make someone watch.

The Umbrella Company origins
@MaximumBan Says:
The title is a bit click batty. LSD made me click.

Thank you for using the photage of the line of people from Israel.

Bro died of “pneumonia” right before we knew about Covid

I’ve been going to college for biotechnology it’s still a field that has so much more innovation waiting to be developed
@mikemaldanado6015 Says:
but it was the pre automaton mundane that helped him fully understand the low level, i am afiaid ai will take this away leaving people with only a higher level understanding of processes. one cannot just understand the high level and expect to improve on it, first a low level understanding needs to be fully understood. if ai does that for people all the work on higher level stuff will never be able to replace understanding of the entire process . this will be detrimental not helpful in the long run
@kevinjamison4561 Says:
Thanks!
@BakiNBG Says:
soooo I should take a lot of psychedelics if i wanna become a famous scientist? Got it.
@MrSkatebox09 Says:
died right before covid.... interesting
@aaronduranceau7683 Says:
Why not learn how to control bacteriophage as a copying output and a recreating unit and does it recreate itself at 3 n end 5 ?
@amandamcmurray4964 Says:
"Stumbled upon their discovery". HOW DOES ANYONE JUST 'STUMBLE UPON' SOMETHING LIKE THIS??!!
@Hal_T Says:
At some point, "breakthroughs" may be the only thing that human minds can do that artificial minds are incapable of. Which means almost every other human will be redundant ... unnecessary. Problem is, of course, WHICH human minds are the ones who might be harboring that yet unknown breakthrough. 'Tis a puzzlement.

Good video, thanks
@Capiert Says:
The man who took LSD, & the world changed for him. 🙂
@AragornArathorn-i5e Says:
In the modern day workforce, a person like Mullis would be fired almost immediately for his out of the box ideas and methods. I believe the best thing that happened for him, was the machine arriving to do the tedious job, which gave him time to explore his ideas and work for something he believed in. A bit of of a wacky scientist, but the 'wacky' ones tend to be the most creative..
@jak8790 Says:
Wow, should I start to take LSD?
@Hoootaf Says:
I can tell you that taq is much tougher than we thought... In one summer, I used taq for PCR that sit in the home freezer for over 3 decades, and they still work like a charm
@TheMaxer03 Says:
Sounds like LSD helped him get a job but did it help him make the discovery?
@TheHandleOnYoutube Says:
Open up breakthrough opportunity for those who actually have enough time using automation... But automation can also lead to extreme repetition...
@vectoralphaSec Says:
Thw world is too greedy for this to happen ever again.
@vectoralphaSec Says:
All thanks to drugs.
@0to100_real_quick Says:
Everytime I would eat some acid and play video games, I would be accused of cheating. It seemed like it made me hyper aware and faster reflexes. Also it helped that I thought it was reality and didnt want to die. LOL
@klepzo Says:
AIDS and global warming? He was right there too.
@MonkeyboyGWW Says:
Youtube and tiktok didnt exist when he came up with that idea. I should be working now but im here instead
@Abdulrehman-cj3iy Says:
As a self-taught software engineer I'm watching this and I can appreciate how genius the biologists are. And I do resonate with the fact that the automation pushed us to come up with creative ideas. Thank you Derek Muller for such a great video and you're my inspiration. Love you

Looks like something wrong with your body, go check.
@BurztPp Says:
A fantastic video and uttermost inspiring story. It’s a reminder to never let anyone limit your own dreams and vision. People didn’t think PCR was possible; they didn’t think things lived above 60 °C. It’s dreamers the ones who change and shape the world beyond the imagination of those other (temporarily) limited minds.
@aamjad2001 Says:
The bast...s tried their best to take all his efforts and put their own name on it.
@profwaldone Says:
I think its hilarius to think that in the modern world this dude wasnt just replaced with an intern or other low wage worker once the work became that simple. In 2024 dude would have been sitting at home (If he didnt get fired for his willing personality long before that)
@nancymcmonarch Says:
I was an English major at UC Berkeley in the 80s, and knew jack-all about biochemistry. BUT I took TONS of LSD. Once I envisioned the yin/yang symbol (which I'd never thought about before, oddly enough). It started spinning and stretching out into a long 3-D shape. Imagine my surprise when I walked into Cetus on my first day as an admin assistant, and there in the lobby, painted HUGE on the wall, was that 3-D thing I'd seen while tripping! I asked the receptionist, "What is that?" and she said it was a DNA strand. 🤯 Kerry Mullis had left the company by then (I was there for Cetus' grisly demise), but yeah, he was a legend on numerous levels. Would have loved to meet him, or at least I think so.

Bro U should make a Video about PAPER that hoe it revolutionise the World
@isaacgloc1542 Says:
He was a smart dumbass lol
@thetinkerist Says:
Great story, thx for the vid 🎉
@Emirinavarro Says:
31:17 Like a LSD mind, like a drug addict mind. He had the idea but he didn't invent it he only investigated it and his team did the rest, of course he was going to procrastinate if he is using drugs ... disappointing. His team should have more recognition
@lilqzscribbleshow1560 Says:
Why do these dramatic documes always have a part of the story where the main character scientist always gets labeled crazy and misunderstood after presenting new ideas at a " work place seminar" ? Why not tell the brutal reality onhow most sciencetists are not allowed to own their creative output research on company time. Kary was lucky he could use the resources of his work place, after hours. Lucky he was in California that is famed for a laid back approach. And he is very lucky to have been allowed to microdose while doing science.....sadly todays reality of mad open science is a myth. Its a cut throat frenzy competition for research grants$ and heavy guarded thesises.

Honestly, this kind of videos make me feel so inspired Thanks a lot
