A reminder to the Luddites
Rather encouragingly, the President has just declared that the government now "is ready to invest on a grand scale" in the development of nanotechnology, emphasizing "that this work should be well organized and effective, yielding practical results," especially in enhancing the military power of the country.
Somewhat less encouragingly (from an American perspective), the President who said this is Vladimir Putin, and the country in question is Russia.
As I've often pointed out before, the Luddites who oppose the development of new technology cannot stop it -- if they get their way, all they will accomplish is to cause our own country to fall behind, while others move ahead.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
