Rem Koolhaas' Brain

I'm in the thick of a lot of classes and extracurricular work so 'est is holding down the fort until all calms down in December. However wanted to share this little gem of a short clip from Good magazine. They don't have embed code for the video, which is annoyingly Web 1.94, so I'm leaving you a link:

I found this charming and sort of brilliant because I just read this New Yorker article on synthetic biology. After slogging through the academic bit there are some really keen Brave New World-esque future suppositions that make the idea of renting Rem Koolhaas' brain seem theoretically possible in the near-term. Assuming Rem is cool with that, of course.
