I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.
Genes give us capacities. Environments influence how these capacities develop. But choices shape the trajectory
I am Projection
Art-rock music presentation of Richard Dawkins books "The Selfish Gene" and "The Extended Phenotype"!
The song is a dream of freedom, of traveling through the vastness of space, of becoming a true citizen of the cosmos by transforming oneself and redefining the way we journey among the stars.
It’s important to note that this vision has nothing to do with the delusions of a certain eccentric billionaire, Elon Musk, and his obsession with “dying on Mars”. From the looks of it, his dream seems less about personal sacrifice and more about delegating that fate to unpaid, expendable volunteers. This song is not about that.
Genes are blueprint of me Context is plan for mind I am a projection When the world and genes combined I can change myself By controlling input stream Chaotic information Leads to brain from cream I would like to construct Spaceship to visit Mars To visit ancient Mars To visit the nearest stars For this I should first Reconstruct myself I must organize my mind Like knowledge on a bookshelf To visit other planets I need strong legs and arms Plus a heat-resistant body Plus replacements for my lungs I need a strong power source Not organic food. I need a set of sensors Plus X-ray vision aptitude I am information Collected by genes' pool My genes build my brain It’s genes' defensive tool Brain is so complex thing That he got its own free will It can be chance of freedom Or chance to make self kill I would like to construct Spaceship to visit Mars To visit ancient Mars To visit the nearest stars For this I should first Reconstruct myself I must organize my mind Like knowledge on a bookshelf
