Fake Real Meat

Here’s what you’ve been waiting for.  Real fake meat or fake real meat!  This is not meat faked by vegetable proteins, like we see everywhere now.  This is actual meat, grown from biological meat cells. These cells can be obtained by animal biopsy’s or from animals destined for slaughter.  It is grown in tanks with life-giving nutrients. So far, chicken, beef, and pork versions have been grown. First class animal protein from the lab.
The company is Memphis Meats. Big investors include Branson, and Gates (yes, that Gates). They see the future and they think money. As well, many big-time meat companies such as Tyson have invested. Consider the problems this will create?  
Such will require a new definition of kosher, or a challenge to the “vegan” concept.  It could possibly deliver high quality protein to countries where quality protein is difficult and expensive to obtain.  Imagine China, the world’s largest pork consumer with their favorite and tasty protein produced in a factory?
For the climate folks, we foresee the elimination of cow flatulence – thus saving the planet.
Imagine your future order, “Yes, I’ll have the 12 ounce fake steak, please.” But it’s real meat.
On the surface, it looks like a break-through. But is it?  Only when we see this new “fake” meat distributed on a mass scale will we know. You know, taste, quality, and acceptance. But it could just save many populations in the world. More babies.
Prediction. In two years, we’ll know. College agriculture departments will change bigly.  Can you see fake/real eggs, fake/real fish, fake prairie oysters?

UNCERTAINTY IS CERTAIN

  Uncertainty is Certain G. Donald Allen 12/12/2024 1.       Introduction . This short essay is about uncertainty in people from both secular and nonsecular viewpoints. One point that will emerge is that randomly based uncertainty can be a driver for religious structure. Many groups facing uncertainty about their future are deeply religious or rely on faith as a source of comfort, resilience, and guidance. The intersection of uncertainty and religiosity often stems from the human need to find meaning, hope, and stability in the face of unpredictable or challenging circumstances. We first take up the connections of uncertainty to religion for the first real profession, farming, noting that hunting has many similar uncertainties. Below are groups that commonly lean on religious beliefs amidst uncertainty.   This short essay is a follow-up to a previous piece on certainty (https://used-ideas.blogspot.com/2024/12/certainty-is-also-emotion.html).

Principles of Insufficiency and Sufficiency

   The principles we use but don't know it.  1.      Introduction . Every field, scientific or otherwise, rests on foundational principles—think buoyancy, behavior, or democracy. Here, we explore a unique subset: principles modified by "insufficiency" and "sufficiency." While you may never have heard of them, you use them often. These terms frame principles that blend theory, practicality, and aspiration, by offering distinct perspectives. Insufficiency often implies inaction unless justified, while sufficiency suggests something exists or must be done. We’ll examine key examples and introduce a new principle with potential significance. As a principle of principles of these is that something or some action is not done enough while others may be done too much. The first six (§2-6) of our principles are in the literature, and you can easily search them online. The others are relatively new, but fit the concepts in the real world. At times, these pri...

Where is AI (Artificial Intelligence) Going?

  How to view Artificial Intelligence (AI).  Imagine you go to the store to buy a TV, but all they have are 1950s models, black and white, circular screens, picture rolls, and picture imperfect, no remote. You’d say no thanks. Back in the day, they sold wildly. The TV was a must-have for everyone with $250 to spend* (about $3000 today). Compared to where AI is today, this is more or less where TVs were 70 years ago. In only a few decades AI will be advanced beyond comprehension, just like TVs today are from the 50s viewpoint. Just like we could not imagine where the video concept was going back then, we cannot really imagine where AI is going. Buckle up. But it will be spectacular.    *Back then minimum wage was $0.75/hr. Thus, a TV cost more than eight weeks' wages. -------------------------
