Уоллес Брин - Об инстинктах - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

Let me read out the letter I received. “Dear Dr. Brin. Why does the alliance suppress our reproduction cycle? Sincerely your, concerned citizen. "

Thanks for the letter, citizen. Of course, your question concerns the basic biological needs, hopes and fears for the future of the species. I see a few unspoken questions. Do our patrons know what is better for us? What gives them the right to make such decisions for humanity? Will they ever turn off the suppression field and will we allow us to reproduce?

Let me dispel the doubts underlying your anxiety than to answer every unspoken question. First, let's look at the fact that for the first time in history we are on the verge of immortality. This fact entails far -reaching conclusions. It requires a complete revision of our genetic needs. It requires planning and thinking that it is contrary to our psychological attitudes.

At such a time, it is possible to remind yourself that our true enemy is an instinct. Instincts raised us when we only became. Instincts took care of us and protected us in those difficult years when we made the first guns, prepared meager food at the stake and trembled from the shadows jumping on the walls of the cave. But the instinct is inseparable from its double - superstition. Instinct is inextricably linked with rash impulses, and now we see its true nature. But instinct knows about his uselessness and, like a beast driven into a corner, will never give up without a bloody battle. He can inflict a mortal wound to humanity. Instinct creates its tyrants and urges us to rebel against them. He tells us that the unknown is a threat, not an opportunity. Instinct slyly and imperceptibly leads us away from the path of changes and progress. Therefore, the instinct should be suppressed. It is necessary to deal with him mercilessly, starting with the main need of a person - the need for reproduction.

We must thank the patrons for their help in the fight against this all -consuming force. By pressing the switch, they expelled our demons in one movement. They gave us strength, which we ourselves could not find in order to cope with this mania. They showed us the goal. They helped us turn the eyes to the stars.

I assure you, the overwhelming field will be shot on the day when we will take ourselves when we prove that we do not need it anymore. And this day of transformation, according to information from a reliable source, is not far.
