Quote by Sheila Jasanoff

“I am kind of a sucker for democracy, so I do think that what kinds of citizens we have in our societies are more foundational than what kinds of governments we have, and that the responsibility for self-government is ultimately with us. But we also have learned through a couple thousand years of democracy that democracies are only as good as people's capacity to reflect on those questions.”

I'm not sure we get those predictions right either.”

“We need a more widely shared burden on the part of society to keep asking, "What are our collective values, what kind of world do we want to bequeath to our children, and to what extent are these particular technological developments helping us go in those directions? I think that corporations, every bit as much as governments, social movements, and universities - we all have a role to play in asking those questions. I don't think anybody should have a monopoly on that responsibility.”
