<< Does anyone have an educated estimate as to how long it will take
nanotech researchers to bootstrap from Drexlerian engineered protein
machines to the first assembler? Merkle's website has a ton of stuff on
*how* it might be done, but lacks (?) any estimates of the time frame.

Related question: the consensus seems to be that we will have something

Thought induced material manifestation, in which our imagination becomes
reality. This would be paradise. McKenna's theory, which I believe also.
