Throughout his discourse, Metzl stresses that technology is inexorably linked to our values. How we regulate, govern, and accept—or reject—these innovations depends on societal priorities. He points out the importance of diversity, humility, and imagination in shaping a future that benefits all humans rather than a select few.
He warns against reductionist views that see humans merely as genetic or biological machines. Instead, he champions the narrative of art, culture, and the unpredictable "mystery" of life that maintains our humanity amid rapid change.
