He recently gave a talk of reflection entitled Reproduction of God, a human being at the Collision conference in New Orleans, along with the creation of a related essay to spark debate. After painting a quick picture of a utopian future filled with flying cars and self-healing pods, Ashman turns to a future we may fear.

This huge beast, although in danger of extinction, is still wandering around our waters, with an estimated 10,000 to 25,000 live blue whales today. Now scientists have discovered why whales like the blue whale became so big. An earlier theory explaining the gigantism of the whales saw its large size as a necessary adaptation to fight megasharks and other huge prehistoric animals. But scientists discovered that until about 4.5 million years ago the whales were kept at a moderate size, about 10 meters long. Then, near the beginning of the first Ice Age, they began to grow. What happened? Researchers at the University of Chicago, Stanford University and the National Museum of Natural History of the ...
