To repeate, "they" don't need to do anything, all it would take is one individual deciding that the Universe wasn't quite the way he'd like it to be.

I'm big N and I'm proud.

My friend, any technology that has the awesome power of Nanotechnology will have religious implications. This fact makes some people uncomfortable. So be it.

Like permanently stimulating the pleasure centers of their brain? There's no disputing matters of taste but personally I don't find a civilization of junkies to be very interesting.

>Again, this pronouncement is ridiculous.
