Biology & Technology
• BIOLOGY: Something that increases negative entropy by streaming order onto itself
• TECHNOLOGY: Something that increases negative entropy pursuant to intent
• INTENT: Simulation, Selection & Satisfaction of alternative realities
• ERGO: Biology, used with intent, is Technology
• ERGO: Self-Replicative Technology, is Biology

WHICH IT EMERGED, i.e.,
PROGENY INTEGRATES PEDIGREE
Synthetic Biology = most salient tool at hand, for making, changing,
saving& perhaps even ex vivo thinking

BIOLOGY CAN SEEM WEIRDTECH, BUT WEIRD IS NOT UNETHICAL
• UTILITY MUST EXCEED YUCKINESS,
• WHICH IS EASY WHEN BIOLOGY AS TECHNOLOGY IS:
> LIFE-SAVING
> OR SIMPLY MORE CONVENIENT THAN DISGUSTING

SUMMARY
• INTENTIONAL USE OF BIOLOGY BECOMES TECHNOLOGY
• I’VE USED IT TO SPREAD SATELLITE RADIO & HELP THOUSANDS MANAGE THEIR DISEASES
• I’M USING IT TO CREATE AN UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF TRANSPLANTABLE ORGANS
• IT WOULD BE STUPID TO ABJURE NATURE’S GREATEST INVENTION SINCE CHEMISTRY
