I forced myself to think what is the new concept and it became clear to me that it was risk, not only in technology and ecology, but in life and employment, too.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fears of creating new kinds of plagues or of altering human evolution or of irreversibly altering the environment were only some of the concerns that were rampant.
New technologies and approaches are merging the physical, digital, and biological worlds in ways that will fundamentally transform humankind. The extent to which that transformation is positive will depend on how we navigate the risks and opportunities that arise along the way.
There has to be an element of risk-taking for me in my work.
I think the dangers are different now. Our abuse of the planet and our resources is an anxiety.
Nothing is more dangerous than a dogmatic worldview - nothing more constraining, more blinding to innovation, more destructive of openness to novelty.
We've created an impression that life is risk-free, and it's not.
Ecology and economy are becoming inextricably entwined, and the world is becoming more conscious of this fact.
Life is a risk.
From my perspective, it's really risk management to ensure that humans have the ability to go somewhere else in case there were to be some huge disaster on Earth.
Risk isn't a word in my vocabulary. It's my very existence.
