Aedes, if genetically engeneering is a way for humanity to get out of the reactionay situation and into the re-actionary situation, then is it not necessary that within us lies something which has the possibility to re-act in the first place?

To me that is something which has the possibility to create, in a limited way; something which is present a priori. That something should, in itself, combine being and creating; or to be more to the point reacting and re-acting. A local version of the first unmoved mover in a way. Although I am of a mind to say that it goes well beyond that in the sense that it is mover.

Hope this helps.
