this monologue has had such an impact on my life it's insane how well it's written and how relevant it still is.

"Gee, the lack of humility before nature that's being displayed here staggers me.

Don't you see the danger in what you're doing here, John, inherently? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun. If-If I may...I'll tell you the problem with the power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. Y'know, you read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you're selling it."

Yeah, yeah, but you're scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could they didn't stop to think if they should.

No, no, hold on. This wasn't some species that was obliterated by deforestation or the building of a dam, dinosaurs had their shot and nature selected them for extinction.
