全て失うことになります
エリック・ドレクスラーも
打たれてきたことは知っています
月面歩行を思い出させます
破片を回収しているのです
影響に疑問があるならば
何の変哲もないシリコンを拾い上げ
「ミクス」は
これって凄くありませんか?」
私たちは同じに見えるでしょうが
私たち自身を改変させ始めることです
誘惑に勝てるでしょうか?
進化プログラムを避けるようなものです
利用していた技術を
既になりつつあるのは
そして政治に強く左右されます
そして政治に強く左右されます
得ているものは大きいです
今から数百年もすれば
子どもの未来が変わるのです

Why you should listen
Bestselling author and lecturer Gregory Stock examines the evolutionary significance of technological progress. His 1993 book, Metaman, looks (optimistically) toward a future where the symbiotic relationship between human culture and technology increasingly resembles a "superorganism" that can respond, as a whole, to crises like global warming. 2003's Redesigning Humans poses the alluring -- and sometimes frightening -- possibility that human biology will soon become customizable: no mere question of availability, but a matter of personal choice.
Stock's other work includes Engineering the Human Germline, which looks at the implications of controlled evolution, and a set of perpetually-bestselling tabletop conversation-starters, the flagship of which is The Book of Questions.
