Shouldn we concentrate on current problems like poverty, pollution, or solving international conflicts, instead of putting effort into far future technologies?
We should do both. Development and application of molecular manufacturing clearly can have a positive impact on solving many of today’s most urgent problems. But it’s equally clear than MM can exacerbate many of society’s ills. Knowing that it may be developed within the next decade or two (which is not “far future”), makes preparation for MM an urgent priority.
