Were happy to have you all with us tonight at our shaping San Francisco talks. This talk tonight is on Synthetic Biology, diy meets big capital is the title they gave it. It is really borne out of a long interest i have had, in some ways the roots of shaping San Francisco which is Community Participatory history project but rooted in ses lendings acritical relationship to technology. We started in the mid 90s during the big boom then of interactive multimedia and kind of way before there was even web 1. 0 really. We were already working on this project. Weve gone through quite a few iterations. We all lived through endless rounds of hysteria technology will save us and take us to the Promised Land and so on and so one of the interesting topics for me is to try to think about what is the moment in history that youre living through
[applause] maybe maybe, mr. President. But im afraid not. Because the truth is, ladies and gentlemen, that this is how we were warned it would be. President reagan told us from the very beginning that he believed in a kind of social darwinism. Survival of the fittest. Government cant do everything, we were told, so it should settle for taking care of the strong and hope that economic ambition and charity will do the rest.

Ten days ago, president reagan admitted that although some people in this country seemed to be doing well nowadays, others were unhappy, even worried, about themselves, their families, and their futures. The president said that he didnt understand that fear. He said, why, this country is a shining city on a hill. And the president is right. In many ways we are a shining city on a hill.

The event brings together ideas authors, and innovators to look at the latest trends in technology, culture, and business. Here is kerry shteyngart talking about his immigration status. In 1980, being rushing russian was the worst thing that you can be. I was sentenced to eight years of hubris school that for a crime i did not commit. When i was sentenced there, it was so bad being a russian, being a commie, i had to pretend that i was born in east berlin. I was trying to convince german kids there that i was german. [laughter] 10 years later, i show up at oberlin college, this small Marxist College in ohio. Being an immigrant was the coolest thing you could imagine. Nobody wanted to be the heterosexual white male. So i got as russian as you could be. I wore the whole thing with the bullets and all of that come up i tried to annex another college.
