Deepak Chopra: As you listen to Ray it becomes obvious that this force of technology, the evolution of technology, is unstoppable. So if you don’t like it then natural selection will beat you out because this force is an evolutionary force. So I see in the next few years, not even thirty years, but next few years nanobots cleaning your arteries, repairing damaged genes, squirting dopamine into your brain because you’re depressed, or making you fall in love with a little oxytocin.
I see desktop computers printing out steaks without killing an animal, just through stem cell information. I see all of that, but I also worry a little bit. You realize we reached the facts age, we reached the age of knowledge, but we have not reached the age of wisdom yet. And if we do not take survival of the fittest to the next stage, which is survival of the wisest, we risk some very diabolical users of this technology.
