The next slide portrays a meek customer, with an "overactive imagination", about to cut into a GM vegetable. Next Wilson writes about how if we do not slow the process of genetic engineering down now then humans will become a part of the lab experiment: resulting in vegetable conquering us. Considering the last important sentence, "And that would serve us right". This is important –not only because of the visual with the vegetables eating the heads of the scientists –because it shows a possible way of evolution in the future. Pondering on the idea of vegetables ruling the world is very hard to imagine. We unknowingly consume these products every day: not knowing how they truly affect our digestive track. Maybe Wilson's idea could happen; not having an immediate effect, but anything is possible. .
These images that Wilson has provided for us were clearly out of his imagination because as far as our studies show vegetables do not have the ability to conquer the human kind. That imagination would play out through evolution and not in any immediate time. Jacob Bronowski said in The Reach of Imagination "evolution has greatly enlarged the front lobes in the human brain, which govern the sense of the past and the future" In this day in age due to new discoveries in the sciences and with the making of new technology that create the genetically engineered products that we neglect to see every day. In the heavily syntactical essay The Method of Scientific Investigation, 1863 written by Thomas Henry Huxley, Huxley elaborates on the scientific method which is still used today. Before a scientists walks into a laboratory, the brain makes a decision, or a customer buys a product a hypothesis is formed. A hypothesis is a highly educated guess on the outcome of a test or decision. Next the scientist, brain, or buyer must test the hypothesis by going through a series of steps to conquer a conclusion: these steps are called a procedure.
