The worm circuit is too specialized and too primitive to be used for direct
applications. Ability to simulate worms + environment in realtime is valuable
for other biologically inspired neuronal circuits which could be useful for
navigation and control.

However, I'm assuming an investor would be interested in that long-term ROI
called personal immortality. MURG emanates too much whiff of lunatic fringe
to be palatable to the usual seat-of-the-pants investor.
