Oct. 30th, 2006 08:50 pmI found a rather interesting scholarly essay on the philosophical implications of nanoscience entitled Living with Uncertainty: Toward the Ongoing Normative Assessment of Nanotechnology.
From the article:
The major stumbling block…turns out to be our common conception of the future as unreal…If the future is not real, then it is not something that we can have cognizance of. If the future is not real, then it is not something that projects its shadow onto the present.
The critlang quotient is very high, but there is some worthwhile stuff in there.)
