Wonderful column! Some of the things that you quoted from Jurassic Park reminded me of a bioethics course I took several decades ago. It was a discussion regarding the downfall of all great civilizations. The consensus was that for America, we definitely have the brilliance to do amazing things but don't have the wisdom to do them properly.
Thank you so much Judy! That's really well said. The whole idea of Mind and Iron is in fact this -- Asimov's notion that we should balance humans' intuition with machines' power. (He was optimistic we could strike that balance properly....we'll see what the jury says.)
