“I’m fascinated by the precipice at which we now stand where through the potential in humans and our ability to manipulate ourselves with advancements in new biotechnology such as CRISPR, yet our ability to manipulate ourselves through prehistoric technologies of our inner operating system such as human-created narrative leaves us at the threshold of a new reality where profound change places the potential to live forever or eliminate the entire human race well within reach.”
