Deep Play Precedes Deep Work.

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.

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.

The Modern Age Has Been Characterized By A Promethean Spirit, A Restless Energy That Preys On Speed Records And Shortcuts, Unmindful Of The Past, Uncaring Of The Future, Existing Only For The Moment And The Quick Fix. The Earthly Rhythms That Characterize A More Pastoral Way Of Life Have Been Shunted Aside To Make Room For The Fast Track Of An Urbanized Existence. Lost In A Sea Of Perpetual Technological Transition, Modern Man And Woman Find Themselves Increasingly Alienated From The Ecological Choreography Of The Planet.

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.
