What do you think it the fastest way to get from here to there -- there
being a world where the nanotechnology Singularity has happened? (Is it
good to take the fastest route?)
I think we can choose paths where we go from simple stuff that works --
building a tugboat that floats as opposed to an ocean liner that sinks -- at
first and spreading that. We might also try to use the market: build stuff
that targets areas that will pay a lot -- be financially profitable -- and
use not only those profits to produce more but also to attract other
investors (in terms of both money and skills; researchers invest their time
and talent, right?) to the field, ones that currently aren't involved.
What do you think?
