Dear Anna,

Thank you for all the wonderful work you do.

Regarding a recent video you did with Karen Kingston and Maria Zeee on transhumanism, there was one item that really piqued my attention, but which both you and Karen brushed over without any mention, and that is the persistent reference in the patent applications to the activities being undertaken as "art" (vs "science"). I don't have the slides Karen presented available to me now, but I recall there being mention of the "invention of protein cages" as "art" in one of the patents that had been filed. I think the use of this term is highly significant - although I'm not exactly sure what the significance is.

I recall from my graduate days in philosophy that one the most insulting ways to dismiss a novel idea was to refer to it as a "term of art" - implying that it was too abstract or disconnected from real-world applications to be of any use. Generally, 'terms of art' in philosophical circles are ideas that aren't taken seriously because they fail to align with accepted scientific or philosophical frameworks.

Is it possible that the patent drafting is explicitly acknowledging that the activities being undertaken exist ourtside the accepted scientific and philosophical frameworks? If that's what's going on with protien cage design then we are dabling in some dark arts indeed. I wonder if, upon further reflection, this term means anything to you or Karen?

Pls note: I posted exactly this question on Karen's substack. Hopefully it will get the two of you talking.

All the very best,

Alan Hamilton
