Want to be certain things

The reason why we want more technology is that every individual human has a certain God-given set of talents that require things like technology in order to be expressed.

我们需要更多技术的原因，是任何人类个体都具有上帝所给予的特定天赋，这种天赋需要类似于技术一类的事物才能得到表达。

And it gives a hint that even though species might be cognitively capable of doing certain things, they might not show the behavior, because they just don't want to.

这给我们一启发：物种即使认知到有做某些事的能力也不一定会表现出该行为，是因为它们只是不想去做。

But if I were to personally deliver a commencement speech or convocation address, there would be certain things that I would want to tell graduates.

但是，如果要我来做一次毕业典礼演讲或会上发言，有某一些话我会希望告诉给毕业生们。
