YU"Perhaps most importantly, artificial
intelligence and biotechnology are
giving humanity the power to reshape
and re-engineer life. Very soon
somebody will have to decide how to
use this power - based on some implicit
or explicit story about the meaning of
life.
Philosophers are very patient
people, but engineers are far less
patient, and investors are the least
patient of all.
If you don't know what to do with the
power to engineer life, market forces
will not wait a thousand years for you to
come up with an answer. The invisible
hand of the market will force upon you
its own blind reply. Unless you are
happy to entrust the future of life to the
mercy of quarterly revenue reports, you
need a clear idea what life is all about."
