Nonetheless, I sense that it will be the task of the future to somehow synthesize the sheer diversity of our present resources into a more organic and well-ordered procedure.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We obviously want to produce things that people want. We are going to continue to do that in an environmentally responsible way, while still being aware of the physical, scientific, and practical issues that we have to deal with.
It's become more readily apparent that we need to be growing our own food and growing more things organically.
The potential for synthetic biology and biotechnology is vast; we all have an opportunity to create the future together.
We need to start looking at having a way of managing the whole ecosystem, because you can't pick away at it piece by piece, you have to truly start being coordinated and managing our resources as a system. We haven't gotten to that point yet.
We've got to take care of the resources we have on this planet, because there's no resupply possible.
We can create new food substances.
We have decommissioned natural selection and must now look deep within ourselves and decide what we wish to become.
We are now heading down a centuries-long path toward increasing the productivity of our natural capital - the resource systems upon which we depend to live - instead of our human capital.
I see, in the future, bioengineered almost everything you can imagine that we use.
We have to find alternative ways of producing our raw materials without asking nature to do it for us.
