good luck for this. You’ve been banging this out faithfully since Feynman and it has helped paradigm -shift the world and alert it to existential danger.
the race to successful build a contained wide general Artificial Intelligence against those risks must be won and civilization will change.
If futurism wasn’t a religion it’s followers wouldn’t be packing meetings: as religion (way of living) the ethics will come to be huge – not only culturally but personally.
Nanotech will break big time in the 2020′s and A.I. on its heals.
