On Desire

”The only thing we can try to do is to influence the direction scientists are taking. Since we might soon be able to engineer our desires too, perhaps the real questions facing us is not ‘What do we want to become?’, but “What do we want to want?’ Those who are not spooked by this question probably haven’t given it enough thought.”

Yuval Noah Harari
