wouldn’t be genetically authentic dinosaurs but .
maybe 15 years of breeding + engineering to get super exotic novel species,” Hodak wrote on Twitter.

“Biodiversity (antifragility) is definitely valuable; conservation is important and makes sense.
But why do we stop there? Why don’t we more intentionally try to generate novel diversity?
