If we were to have intensive greenhouse agriculture, we could have much higher production. — Ralph Merkle
Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and cellular level — Ralph Merkle
If we can reduce the cost and improve the quality of medical technology through advances in nanotechnology — Ralph Merkle
If you think the technology is infeasible, you don’t worry about what it might do and what its potential is. — Ralph Merkle
It looks as though yields of over 10 times what we can currently grow per acre are feasible if you control the co2 concentration — Ralph Merkle
Lighter computers and lighter sensors would let you have more function in a given weight — Ralph Merkle
Machines built by human beings they will function correctly if we provide them with a very specific environment. — Ralph Merkle
Many people in the world today are not starving because there is an inherent inability to produce food — Ralph Merkle
One of the issues facing us today is that there are countries where there is a serious lack of resources — Ralph Merkle
The first approximation in this future that we’re looking at is that everyone will be physically well off. — Ralph Merkle
The new technologies that we see coming will have major benefits that will greatly alleviate human suffering. — Ralph Merkle
