On September the 9th Dr. Georgia Dunston informed our class that we are the "phenomenal generation". She also that we are a problem solving generation. Dr. Dunston was extremely passionate and so full of wisdom that there was no way you could leave the seminar without a new thought process on the human genome. . Further into her speech she said that the "Age of Human the Human Genome Knowledge" contains information needed to make, and operate the body itself. basically saying that the genome is the most sophisticated system flowing through our bodies.
Dismemberment came from the dislocation from our African roots. (which Dr. Carr spoke about last week) This separation caused a temporary abandonment of the focus on wisdom. The ultimate goal that this "phenomenal generation" needs to really learn, is to obtain wisdom. Having knowledge is power, but WISDOM is supreme! One of the quotes Dr.Dunston gave us came from Einstein:
"You cannot solve a problem at the same level of thinking"From this we were informed that thinking is only biological, and that our warfare is not with the people we see, but it is with our minds. So our thought process is a major obstacle that holds us back from the progress that we need. So we should not blame anyone but ourselves, because we have not yet fully tapped into our own thought process. Once we can finally conquer this goal well be able to fulfill and accomplish being the "phenomenal generation". Dr.Dunston also gave us the major challlenges of our time which include:
- medical opportunities
- commercial promise
- ethical danger ( meaning that we must get involved)
- social challenges
