Nanotechnology in the Fractal Cosmos universe

What could really change the game is a global transparency movement that used cheap sensors and drones to get information about nearly everything. It could be a totally decentralized intelligence network, something like a mixture Anonymous and WikiLeaks, but with better technology and more popular backing. A force that both blocs fear and are unable to suppress sufficiently. This network might create and foster the public awareness that finally leads to the Nano Scale legislation.

I like that. Sounds plausible as well as cool

@Radivis

hat may be true, but there will certainly also bright green environmentalists (“technogaians”) who embrace nanotechnology as our last chance to save nature, or what’s left of it, or even to improve nature.

Yeah but I sincerely doubt technogaians will ever be more than a tiny minority in the mainstream environmentalist movement.

Greenpeace’s Nature vs Technology bullshit is just a lot easier to sell than bright green philosophy. Most greens are so much in love with what they consider “natural” that they trend to repudiate anything “artificial” (especially technology), it’s basic human psychology.
