Koti-ihmiset

Changing One Species To Another - J. Craig Venter
We now know we can create a synthetic organism. It's not a question of 'if', or 'how', but 'when', and in this regard, think weeks and months, not years.

Our Biotech Future - Freeman Dyson
We are moving rapidly into the post-Darwinian era, when species other than our own will no longer exist, and the rules of Open Source sharing will be extended from the exchange of software to the exchange of genes. Then the evolution of life will once again be communal, as it was in the good old days before separate species and intellectual property were invented.

Sharing is Caring - Katsotaan mainosta vaihteeksi sillä silmällä, että jaossa ovat biologiset ominaisuudet. Jos minulla on pitkäikäisyys ja regeneraatio, kopioin ne sinulle.

A History Of Violence - Steve Pinker
A third theory, championed by Robert Wright, invokes the logic of non-zero-sum games: scenarios in which two agents can each come out ahead if they cooperate, such as trading goods, dividing up labor, or sharing the peace dividend that comes from laying down their arms. As people acquire know-how that they can share cheaply with others and develop technologies that allow them to spread their goods and ideas over larger territories at lower cost, their incentive to cooperate steadily increases, because other people become more valuable alive than dead.

Piratismi edistää maailmanrauhaa. Kannattaa pitää naapurisopua yllä, koska naapurilla on mielenkiintoista kulttuuria (ja geenejä) jaossa ja varmuuskopiot oman talon kamoista (ja geeneistä). Olisi hölmöä hyökätä varmuuskopioidensa kimppuun.

"We think what happened is that cats sort of domesticated themselves."

Derren Brown: Messiah - Taikuri kiertää tekemässä ihmeitä uskovaisille. Primitiiviset ihmiset luulevat messiaaksi jokaista, joka tietää enemmän tekniikasta.
