Out of Control 摘录
Our future is technological,is headed toward a neo-biological civilization.
Clockwork logic--the logic of the machines--will only build simple contraptions.
Nature is thus more than a diverse gene bank harboring undiscovered herbal cures for future disease.
Yet as we unleash living forces into ouor created machines, we lose control of them. They acquire wildness and some of the surprises that the wild entails. This, then, is the dilemma all gods must accept: that they can no longer be completedly soverrign over their finest creations.
The world of the made will soon be like the world of the born: autonomouse, adaptable, and creative but, consequently, out of our control. I think that's a greate bargain.
democracy, distributed governance
Wheeler clained that an insect colony was not merely the analog of an organism, it is indeed an organism, in every important and scientific sense of the word.
The brute democratic sense of it all is very appealing. As a passenger you get to vote for everything; not only where the group is headed, but when to trim the flaps.
