Understand the 12 axes

Technology: Technology / Biology

How readily should technology reshape human life?

What this axis explores

Technology positions welcome scientific development, technological acceleration and the possibility of changing human capacities. Biology positions place greater value on natural limits, biological continuity and caution about far-reaching technical intervention.

How the questions explore the axis

The pool explores the relationship between innovation, human enhancement, nature and the social consequences of technological change. Agreement is interpreted within the model’s Technology–Biology opposition, rather than as a test of scientific knowledge.

The Biology pole does not imply ignorance of science, and the Technology pole does not establish technical expertise. The score describes priorities when innovation and preservation pull in different directions. Consider the difference between allowing research, adopting a technology personally and requiring its wider use. These decisions can involve different views of consent and risk. Your answers may favor discovery while remaining cautious about compulsory or irreversible changes to human life.
