@JamesG — I am sure efforts are on, but it’s not easy to get the stuff done. As Mr. Ambiguous points out … the capitalistic society also plays a deep role in it. It’s crazy how big companies can actually stay away from progressive research to make sure that they are ROI positive on their last research project

There are perfectly rational, scientifically minded, and reasonable Christians out here, who DO NOT want to bring about apocalypse, brainwash the masses, and keep humanity concerned only with Earthly issues.

The problem is not Jesus Christ, but greed and capitalistic imprisonment. If we spent 1 billion dollars as easily on humanitarian general research (such as a super-computer aimed at simulating nano-robots, such as the kind the NanoComputer Dream Team wants to make…) as easily as we do jumping to the rescue (USA) of any country or military project that cries for help ($), many more problems would be solved (such as dependence on non-renewable resources).

Stem cells is an ethical issue, not anti-science. The philosophy of Science (observational naturalism) does not say “do everything, and make sure it has a control, so you can measure how quick it dies without food; maybe you can learn how cells replicate that way, maybe.” Science says,” study living creatures as they are, with as little interference as possible, and form theories as to how they work.” Then, when you have those theories, you can do biotic chemistry, and act on those theories on animal cells (in-vertebrate animals, for instance).

Give us a super-computer! Decentralized or no, we want to simulate nanites!

All f1-racing teams have supercomputers these days; maybe we should see if they are willing to lone one!

And, it seems you and CRN folk think social issues are so simple! You all think that being fed is the end all of humanity. Once you save all these people, they are going to express their anti-science in ways you would not believe! Do you really think they are going to just drop their religion? Their goal is to die and go to heaven and join Jesus Christ!

By all means, save all these people; but, the CRN/LIefboat org plan to confine all of humanity forever just to keep humanity fed till the sun turns into a planetary nebula isn’t 1) logical, and 2) ethical. CRN talks about ‘disruptive’ technologies . . . their plans are to ‘disrupt’ humanities momentuim from getting away from the irrationalists past out into space. Hmm, I wonder why? Gee, could they be socially conditioned incrowders? Yes!
