We're finally going to get the bill for the Industrial Age. If the projections are right, it's going to be a big one: the ecological collapse of the planet.

Basic income is not a utopia, it's a practical business plan for the next step of the human journey.

You can eliminate, for example, a Brazil nut gene if you know that it will create an allergenic effect.

We now have an opportunity, though, to do something we didn't do in the industrial age, and that is to get a leg up on this, to bring the public in quickly, to have an informed debate.

Many of the genetically modified foods will be safe, I'm sure. Will most of them be safe? Nobody knows.

The world's environment can no longer handle beef.

Can we reach biosphere consciousness and global empathy in time to avert planetary collapse?

Back in 1983, the United States government approved the release of the first genetically modified organism. In this case, it was a bacteria that prevents frost on food crops.

What the public needs to understand is that these new technologies, especially in recombinant DNA technology, allow scientists to bypass biological boundaries altogether.

The position I took at the time was that we hadn't really examined any of the potential environmental consequences of introducing genetically modified organisms.

We are entering a new phase in human history - one in which fewer and fewer workers will be needed to produce the goods and services for the global population.

I don't have expensive tastes – just bloody ones.– Vampire Dragul Mangorian

Flying in a modern jet airplane doses the human with levels of radiation comparable to those found in nuclear disaster zones.

Leaders always look twice – because sometimes it is good from far but far from good – at a second look.

A person without curiosity may as well be dead.

A strong man can make his own luck.

I feel like my eyes are killing me at the end of the day and that I shouldn't use them.

If my wheel comes off and I hit the fence real hard, I get to whack every damn one of you with a hammer.

We do not follow a health and wealth savior. We follow a homeless and wounded Savior.

Whether I go to English-speaking countries or non-English-speaking countries I can just modulate to what works for them.

Black is like the silence of the body after death, the close of life.
