Gene Balfour

I would have given 5 stars to the first 5 chapters, but the last two chapters revealed Dr. Sinclair as an “institutional man” who portrays government as forces of good in the world. This is likely because his research funding comes from tax-funded grants upon which he has depended entirely for his career and he make no acknowledgement for the role of the private sector for improving the health, productivity and longevity of the human species. It’s ironic that he praises the collectivist, top-down central planning of the state and politicians that steer it while he also praises the trend towards curing disease by treating the individual’s manifestation of disease using advances like gene therapy. Sinclair should have stuck to his area of expertise and kept his political opinions to himself. Even his views on climate change were an embarrassment and marred an otherwise excellent book.
