Tom Wolfe speaks on an article he did for a magazine. In the interview itself, he quotes Nietzsche a few times. Once when Nietzsche predicts darwinism having such an effect on the world that wars will be waged far more catastrophically than in the past. And once more when Nietzsche predicts that after science has demolished everything, it will then start demolishing itself. This reminds me of the Go God Go episodes of South Park where Cartman goes to the future and there are still groups of atheists fucking arguing about the name.
Wolfe also speaks on genetic determinism a bit. He doesn't go as in depth as his article did, but he talks about a few leaps in science that have enabled us to realize certain things that could have an unfortunate effect on people.
