One of the saddest things about the fact that the actual proposals for Diamond-based MNT by Drexler and his colleagues are incredibly niche and unknown is that we only have like a dozen of these cool as hell sims of nanomechanisms. Nothing outside of that handful can be found.

@APOAPSlS Not necessarily, the emergence of microbes may be easy, but the emergence of organisms which produce visible technosignatures may be a lot harder. Consider that microbes appeared less than a billion years after the Earth formed, while the occurrence of complex multicellularity-

That a significant number of people will look at blatant allegories for various kind of evil, which make it so easy to see why the evil is in fact evil, then go on to side with the evil, really goes to show how many humans are complete moral vacuums waiting to be given something-

Fusion powerplants are such a fundamentally unexciting technology in a practical sense to me because when you get down to it there’s really not much they do better than fission as far as terrestrial electricity generation goes. While being so much harder.

Reagan instituted a bunch of budget cuts that resulted in the Mirror Fusion Test Facility being cancelled. A whole approach to magnetic confinement fusion we never really found out would be viable or not. So he’s my choice

Unironically they should make more stories in which the establishment is right and the rebels suck. It’s very common irl but seldomly is it depicted in popular media.

Big fan of robots that look like ordinary machines on the outside, but when you open them up their innards looks like flesh and organs.

“Herbivorize predators” is insufficiently ambitious. Given the capability, we ought to enable all life to be autotrophic or electrophagous, which grow and replicate using nonliving feedstock.

There is a lot which is lackluster about Fallout 4, but something that isn’t in my opinion is it’s art style and direction. The creature and robot designs are especially good

In all the decades of caterpillar rearing, I have never seen a case of parasitoidism as extreme as this. Anyone knows what it is? On tomato today, Gainesville, FL (host - probably once was a cabbage looper). RT if you don't but want to find out.

Too many people make giant bugs shrieking monsters, I feel like it would be more realistic and a lot more creepy if giant bugs are just completely silent All you can hear is the subtle clicking and creaking of its exoskeleton while it quietly approaches you

We may find ourselves in exceptional circumstances simply because no other circumstances would permit our existence. There is no luck involved. When the mere act of observation is dependent on those circumstances it should be no surprise we may find ourselves in “unlikely” ones.

Cultivated meat is unlikely to be economically viable, but this kind of opposition is so blatantly repugnant that it really doesn’t matter, it’s bad on principle alone. These people do not wish to protect “consumers” or “health”, they merely wish to protect their right to-

Key Florida House and Senate committees have voted to ban cultivated meat. The ban is ostensibly about consumer protection & public health. Here's a photo of the diverse array of consumer & health advocates lobbying for the bill. (H/t @DrFarazHarsini )

Lotta really terrible qrts on this so here’s my two cents. Space colonization and resource utilization shouldn’t be fundamentally distinct from the things life already does, which is turn nonliving matter into more living matter.

The mining industry is responsible for harming biodiversity, workers and locals. What if we could replace it with a clean process that can’t harm anyone? Well, we can. Watch "Unlimited Resources From Space – Asteroid Mining" now in Spanish:
