How to build the future

I just bought 10 copies for my team at MSU. More here. The book is based on Thiel's Stanford class CS 183: Startup -- see course notes.

Earlier posts on Thiel.

    Thiel's CS 183 class along with Paul Graham's writings are the best available resources on doing startups.

    Steve, in line with Thiel's thinking, one could say that you have a "secret"* when it comes to genomics: that a good deal of the heritability will be mapped out for complex traits like intelligence in the near to medium term future. Aside from investing in the research or the tools involved (e.g. genome sequencer companies), are there other ways that people could profit from knowing this secret?
