Welcome to IWETHEY!

New 'I'm worried that no one will die in the future.'
-- Nitesh Singh

Nanoparticles inside humans: a topic apparently at about the same level of knowledge today, as when the girls who used to paint Radium-containing pigments onto watch dials: 'pointed' the tiny brushes.
With their lips.

We've blown it re nuclear weapons 'control', but those are Expensive to make big and in hugely-unnecessary quantities. Let us not blow This one..

Anyone see the Dr Who episode re the alien 'medical ship' and its repair-nanobots?
The algorithm for that 'repair' was just One of the ways to get it so Wrong
-- that you become fodder for another species' fav Sci Fi stories.

I no nanophobe; I a nanoagnostic Until: LOTS. more. work. is. done.
and each experiment performed within very-Very secure facilities like, say?
the silo in Crichton's first blockbuster
(just after he'd dropped medicine to become vastly richer.)

New Have you read 'Prey'?
You don't just need very-very-secure facilities, you need very-very-secure people working there. Ones who are world-class smart and aren't susceptible to avarice and ego. Good luck with that.

Good book
New A few scenes obviously made for the eventual movie
I especially liked the discussion about what counts as "intelligent". If we "know" that each particle follow simple rules, and that the interaction of these rules only "looks" intelligent ... how is this different from the human body? Each cell follows simple rules, but put enough of the right kind of cells together and it suddenly seems intelligent.

So is a termite colony intelligent? Is it reasonable to discuss the intelligence of a swarm? Is there a meaningful difference between "intent" and "accident"? Good stuff.
