description: An astonishing trend has been cultivated for over 20,000 years… call it technological divergence. Since the invention of civilization, Homo sapiens have had a single-minded reduce the physical cost of living to zero. But there are increasing biological and ecological costs as mankind’s lifestyle diverges from our genome’s programmed expectations and disconnects from our symbiotic relationship with nature. Envision the American lifestyle in 1950… in 2000… and now, fast-forwarding fifty more years, imagine a very possible future world where… You have a personal vehicle that can fly on autopilot at 500 mph. You have a digital servant—better known as an avatar—that knows you better than you do. Just about anything you want to know is a verbal wish away. Your work is mental work; you create and process information by conversing with virtual reality holographic sunglasses with built-in microphone. Your avatar lives as a heads-up display on the special sunglass lenses. For your entire life, you live and work surrounded by steel, concrete, plastic, and glass, while in physical contact with noise, air, and water pollution. You have a lifespan of 105: longevity is achieved by prolonging poor quality of life—call it managed disease care. Death is prevented for 105 years. In that time, you will be obese for 85 years and will manage diabetes for 75 years. You will be depressed more often than not. You will have two heart attacks and three angioplasties. From practically your first breath until the last, you will consume literally tons of fast food and heavily processed food byproducts composed of genetically-altered beef and poultry, highly refined grain products, dairy, trans-fatty acids, saturated fat, high-fructose corn syrup, synthetic flavoring ingredients, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, pesticides, herbicides, and hormones. Your odds of colon cancer are greater than three out of four, and Alzheimer’s, one out of two. You personally don’t know anyone who exercises; your body hasn’t experienced sweat from physical exertion in over 25 years. Your biological net worth hovers around the poverty level, decade after decade, while your financial net worth experiences the miracles of compound interest. The year is 2053. Scientists have developed the technology to talk—in plain English—to the human genome. What wisdom can mankind learn from direct conversations with the human genome? By the way, these circumstances may be depressing but this story is not.
