“We may remark at this point that modern physics is in some way extremely near to the doctrines of Heraclitus. If we replace the word ‘fire’ by the word ‘energy’ we can almost repeat his statements word for word from our modern point of view. Energy is in fact the substance from which all elementary particles, all atoms and therefore all things are made, and energy is that which moves. Energy is a substance, since its total amount does not change, and the elementary particles can actually be made from this substance as is seen in many experiments on the creation of elementary particles. Energy can be changed into motion, into heat, into light and into tension. Energy may be called the fundamental cause for all change in the world.”

“The basic premise of transhumanism is that the human race is currently second-rate. With the right scientific discoveries and technology, we might one day evolve beyond our physical and mental limits into a new, more intelligent species. We’ll be smarter and more creative, and we’ll live longer. We might even manage to meld our minds with computers and explore the galaxy.”

“The coming wave is defined by two core technologies: artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic biology.”
