![]() What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world. What's so great about discovery? It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. I mean, how can we stand in the light of discovery, and not act? I simply don't understand this Luddite attitude, especially from a scientist. Dinosaurs had their shot, and nature selected them for extinction. This isn't some species that was obliterated by deforestation, or the building of a dam. If I was to create a flock of condors on this island, you wouldn't have anything to say. Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.Ĭondors. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before. I don't think you're giving us our due credit. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. Um, I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. It's hardly appropriate to start hurling generalizations. I want to hear every viewpoint, I really do.ĭon't you see the danger, John, inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun. Now, wait a second now, we haven't even seen the park. Malcolm, but I think things are a little bit different then you and I had feared. ![]() Gee, the lack of humility before nature that's being displayed here, uh. ![]()
