I seems obvious to me that, in a vain attempt to preserve its own
existence, the government will make every attempt to limit such a
powerful technology. Once a critical mass of people realize the true
power of nanotech, one can't help but predict and end-all revolution
to take back what was denied from the public. Will nanotech weapons
be used? Highly likely? Will humanity survive? . . .
Maybe Eliezer was right . . .
