This looks feasible. It protects you from an accitental nano-catastrophe, and
from human-designed malicious nanotech. It won't protect you from an SI that
is determined to get you, but neither will anything else, except becoming
your own personal SI. You now have to hope that you can acquire competent
nanotech and implement your plan after it's invented but before the
catastrophe. Do you have a strategy for that?
