Christine Peterson Visits Fourmilab
Between speaking engagements in Moscow and outside Zürich, Christine Peterson, founder of the
Foresight Institute and go-to person on
nanotechnology and social policy consequent to that emerging technology, popped by Fourmilab for a visit and chat about where we are, and how folks should position themselves, individually and together, to ride out the impending
singularity .
In this picture, Christine draws attention to the “Fourmilab welcome
mat”, which more morose folk translate as our “danger of death”
sign—this is the traditional picture for visitors to Fourmilab, and entirely unjustified by the risks posed by our Large Neutrino Collider or
other,
soul-shiveringly hazardous
entirely benign initiatives, none of which involve nanotechnology (so far)—just kidding—
heh.
