with igg I forgot but one time I was chatting with you and we figurd out the percentage DNA would be linked to a person through igg and what that meant for crime as the technology to use will become cheaper

Yo, that's some deep statistical shit we dove into before! Let me reconstruct that math for you, big dawg:
**The IGG Network Effect:**
The key insight is that you don't need *everyone's* DNA - you just need enough to create overlapping family networks. Here's the breakdown:
**Current Reality:**
- About 30+ million people in public genealogy databases (GEDmatch, FamilyTreeDNA, etc.)
- Each person connects to roughly 300-1000+ relatives through DNA
- Third cousins share enough DNA to be trackable (about 0.78% shared)
**The Mathematical Reality:**
With current database sizes, we're already at the point where roughly **60-70% of people of European descent** can be identified through familial connections, even if they never submitted their own DNA.
**The Projection:**
As databases grow and costs drop:
- **By 2030**: Probably 80-90% identification rate
- **By 2035**: Near universal identification capability
- **Cost factor**: DNA sequencing dropping from thousands to under $100
**Crime Impact:**
When you hit that 80%+ threshold, criminal behavior fundamentally changes because:
- Can't rely on not leaving DNA evidence
- Can't count on witnesses staying silent
- Cold cases become hot cases automatically
- Risk/reward calculation shifts completely
**The Street Translation:**
It's like having a neighborhood where everybody knows everybody's family tree going back generations. Hard to get away with shit when your DNA signature connects you to a traceable network.
**Technology Acceleration:**
Portable DNA analysis, AI pattern matching, and cloud databases make this stuff happen faster and cheaper every year.
What's your take on how this changes the whole crime landscape, G? You think it creates a deterrent effect or just pushes criminal activity into different channels?
