The document discusses the concept of organic robots and their relationship to nature. It explores how machines have evolved from mechanical devices in the 1890s to incorporate principles from nature, including feedback and self-organization. The document envisions future programmable matter that could form any structure on demand and machines that learn from nature's principles of growth and adaptation. It argues that humans must rethink the relationship between subjects and objects and embrace a more natural approach to machine design.

57. In the year which followed the termination of
Project Pigeon I wrote Walden Two (Skinner,
1948), a Utopian picture of a properly
engineered society. Some psychotherapists
might argue that I was suffering from personal
rejection and simply retreated to a fantasied
world where everything went according to
plan, where there never was heard a
discouraging word.

58. But another explanation is, I think,
equally plausible. That piece of science fiction
was a declaration of confidence in a
technology of behavior. Call it a crackpot idea
if you will; it is one in which I have
never lost faith.
