trajectories for humanity.

In one breath, he'd talk about us returning to the archaic, of returning to the forests and becoming one with nature again.

And then in the next breath, he'd talk about us setting off for the stars.

It seems like there's this tension.

Part of us wants to go, we all want to live in an old rustic house that's made of wood in a forest and cook on an open fire.

And yet there's this other part of us that wants to live in these machinic

and be operating these highly complex technological machines.

And it's like, which way?

Do we allow ourselves to be pulled back into the archaic or do we push past and transcend and become...

post-human or post-biological.

And maybe that's kind of part of the game.

Are we going to be dragged back?

Which wouldn't be bad, to be dragged back into that more... You can imagine the bucolic life in a beautiful kind of forest scene with the nice old houses.

And we all love that, right?

We all kind of yearn for that, I think.

I mean, I do.

I think there's part of me that wants to live in Tokyo, where I do now, and this incredibly cyberpunk technological city that seems like it's been secreted out of metal and glass, an entirely unnatural structure that kind of emerges from human intelligence.

I mean, that's a weird thing, but in a way...

These structures that we see, they seem entirely non-human.

It's like we are tapping into something else, something non-human, and we can't help ourselves.
