Jurassic Park A Novel

I promise this is the only Jurassic Park question I'll ask.

But that was I mean that was the first time I ever heard a chaos theory was from Jurassic Park.

Yeah me too probably and it really It was really misleading.

Jurassic Park had a set of hologram ones that were pretty cool.

Yeah, those were cool.

But that was I mean that was the first time I ever heard a chaos theory was from Jurassic Park.

Yeah me too probably and it really It was really misleading.

the book came out in 1990 and in the book Ian Malcolm who's a Chaotician yeah a creep chaotician, right he He goes into even more depth about chaos

The book came out in 1990. And in the book, uh, Ian Malcolm, who's a chaotician-

I read Michael Crichton books. So Jurassic Park, um, Sphere, uh, what else was there? You know, all, all those types of books from a very, very early age.

my favorite line from, there was an Atlantic piece that came out a bit ago where a Trump guy said, you know, watching him in his second term, the first hundred days was like the part of Jurassic Park when the velociraptors learn how to turn the doorknobs. And that's what it is, right? Like, that's the- Okay.

And then, of course, in 1990, Michael Crichton published another book on a similar theme called Jurassic Park, which was then made into the film by Steven Spielberg.

Once a Trex came through here in Jurassic Park to the Lost World, they just decided, we're not going to build anything back up.

This has been an interesting segment to see play out, given the Pulitzer winners here that have been the driving force behind this. It's like that scene in Jurassic Park. This is unbelievable. Brought the two archaeologists in to be on my side, and the only guy that's on my side is a blood-sucking lawyer. Why is Dan on an island?

The book was written by Michael Crichton, who had form on trying to use, exploring the worries about, you know, diseases and genetic engineering.

Spielberg Just wrote the book. ... Just made the film.

Michael did Jurassic Park and Westworld and ER and all that stuff paid died 1314 years ago

He did Jurassic Park

It's like people watch Jurassic Park and get excited about dinosaurs.

Jurassic Park in the mid90s, a story told by a master storyteller with this stateoftheart technology, mindblowing visuals, people don't realize what that was like as a 12yearold boy going to see Jurassic Park.

Around three years after Jurassic Park debuted in theaters, the biggest story in the country was that we had cloned a sheep named Dolly.

In the words actually of Dr. Ian Malcolm of Jurassic park, your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

Actually, Dr. Ian Malcolm of Jurassic Park - your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should, if they should ... and yes, in this case they shouldn't.

Well, it was beautifully scripted. You know, I'm sure you read Michael Crichton's book. Yeah.

And then I'm also a massive Michael Crichton fan. He wrote all the Jurassic Park books and they are so much better than the movie. They're actually so much more uh, kind of gory and there's more intense than the movies themselves, which is funny because Jurassic Park really started me growing up and so I as an adult came back and read the books and kind of reclaimed that for myself. So Michael Crichton a huge fan of.

Yeah, I'm thinking Jurassic Park, but I know that's just a, I shouldn't be thinking that because it's not like 1995.

I know everyone just knows him for Jurassic park.

Jurassic park is largely about chaos theory, which was very much in the zeitgeist at that time.

Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park and Congo and Sphere and Rising Sun and Andromeda Strain.

You know what else? The original Jurassic Park in novel form had a much more interesting relationship to chaos theory than was ultimately produced in the film.

And I do think that was a missed opportunity because chaos theory is very interesting and actually applies in our daily life in a way that I think is surprising.

In particular to what is currently going on with 20 democratic candidates vying for a nomination.

And if in 1990, whatever sir, Steven Spielberg had done more on chaos theory, perhaps we all now would be more sophisticated in our evaluation of these candidates.

It was very much look what we can do. Not hey, should we just like it's like that line from Jurassic Park. Your scientists were spending so much time thinking whether they could. They never thought if they should end crime finds a way it does.

I read the Crichton book. And I think they still have the same problem in the film, which is that the the creatures resurrected by this company are meant to be sterile, incapable of reproducing.

Of course, they do end up reproducing because of the way in which they were brought back, right?

The dinosaurs were brought back by the little mosquito, right, or mosquitoes, right. They were in amber. There was some DNA or remnants of DNA left in there. And then they combined that with other animal DNA, amphibians, reptiles, birds, I believe, a couple other things.

Which is a cool concept. I love the idea. I just wonder if my goodness, is that something that could is that something that could really happen? And it's freaking me out.

It's DNA. It's all the building block and blueprint of what makes you. Yes, yes, bitch, perfect.

They did a great job making that into a movie, but there's a lot of cool science-y stuff in the book that they kind of gloss over in the movie.

And Ian Malcolm makes a really good point about how John Hammond says, you know, the whole thing, oh, just use this genetic engineering to make entertainment. It's such a simple idea.

And then Malcolm kind of thrashes it before because essentially the idea is like they make this thing, they figure out how to sell it, they patent it and they slap it on a lunchbox before they ever even think about the implications to the greater world at large of like, you know, bringing these ancient creatures back from the dead, essentially, when there's probably a reason that they were not on this earth anymore.

So they make they made a mixture of DNA and reconstructed the dinosaur based on bits of DNA that were remnant, basically, of dinosaurs in all those other species. Which is a cool concept. I love the idea.

I too love Jurassic Park. I like the franchise, you know, a gig it dinosaurs are cool.

I've been listening to the audiobook version of Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park lately that just finished it. It's really good.

In the original in the original novel and the book the Michael Crichton like mm-hmm, like Henry Wu is like Like just look at this shit

I Had read the book and I was got really excited and then they had to read scenes from the book to audition I forgot how it was very strange.

Then we had the amber talking about the mosquito Dinosaur theme park They sat down and wrote dinosaur theme park Of course this was a novel first Thank you Michael Crichton

He's like, yeah, they could make it into a movie and that would like do good. I really like the part where it turns out that like there was a guy who broke the security system and then all the dinosaurs got loose.

Jurassic Park.

The Bayston Revival Device apparently comes from Michael Crichton who's famous for writing Jurassic Park.

Have you ever seen Jurassic Park? Say I were to pass away. Have you ever watched Jurassic World? A couple times.
