Scientists hold the key to the future of humanity because they, more than most of the rest of us, understand that the nature of a thing determines its behavior. Scientists need to remind us of what we seem to have forgotten, that humans are also one of those "things" of nature. It is our nature that determines our behavior. Training does not change our nature; it only changes our behavior and only temporarily. If we really want to change our behavior we need to find a way to change our nature. It must be possible to change our nature because we would not feel the need to change our behavior if it were not possible.

Notice that the key is not in what scientists can do but in what they must get us to believe.
