Tiny, tiny, tiny technologies are going to be hugely important in the near middle term future. A lot of good engineering at the nano scale has already been done by nature. The appropriate way to survive and thrive is probably to look more like a cell than look like a little robot. Do you think the concept of bergsonian duration will ever be reconciled with scientific clock time?
Welcome to the October 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
