We have a unifying theory for biology, which is evolution, that influences all levels of biological organization, from ecosystems to individual molecules.

The complexity of living organisms cannot be reduced to mere mechanical processes; they are dynamic systems with interdependent parts that evolve and adapt in ways machines cannot. No machine can autonomously write its own program; biological organisms have had billions of years to develop complexity and abilities that machines have yet to achieve.

Biology is fundamentally digital; every organism is made up of sequences of DNA, and understanding how to program that DNA allows us to design biology to perform specific tasks.

People will look back and realize that the current state of biology was in the dark ages, and we need more extreme experimentation to advance.

Our understanding of life is that we are biological creatures that interact and evolve, and future societies should be superior to the past. The more access to information people have, the better choices they can potentially make, even if they don't always do so.

Many biologists feel pressured to conform to politically correct narratives, which can compromise scientific integrity.

The next century will be about learning how to design biology and program DNA, leading to a new generation of designers focused on biological systems.

The odds of the mutations that define our humanity occurring naturally are so small that scientists suggest there must have been some form of intervention.

The tendency of evolution is not towards homogenization but towards preserving distinctions, which is evident in the way the two hemispheres of the brain function together yet separately.
