So one of the ways in which I describe
human beings is by saying we are addicted to the new.
Now, what does this mean, addicted to the new?
It means that we are addicted to explore
the perimeters of possibility.
We are addicted to probe the unknown,
to gnaw against the ineffable.
We are programmed neurologically with the chemical dopamine
to reward us for overcoming limitations and exploring
the unknown.
This idea, this addiction to the new
is responsible for a species that didn't stay in the caves,
didn't stay on the planet.
And it won't stay within the limitations of biology.
Literally, we are addicted to the new,
and that is why we have triumphed
to become the chief agents of evolution.
It's the dopamine.
It's the dopamine.
