Nanotechnology - Prepare for the future

Sounds like someone has been reading Chariots of the Gods... or maybe just watching the Discovery channel 'feature' based on it...

 

Nice one, faking pottery

Seems an entertaining read more than interesting. Not heard of that guy before.

 

Erich von Daniken is around for over 30 years.

 

Well I noticed the only threads you start with “Dear Members” are always followed by I have a site. Your Buy/Sell/Trade threads always start off that way and your other posts don’t.

Second your whole paragraph reads as marketing copy, talking about this exciting new technology and the members here are smart enough to invest in it.

The site you list is a site that is for a selling a book. You couldn’t have found a better site to link to?

The number of posts you’ve made is small and you’re in the red so add all of that up and yeah it looks spammish to me.

So if you would have just said I find nanotechnology really interesting. Does anyone else? Here’s a few links for people that might not be familiar with it.

If they weren’t links to sites promoting and selling products then I would have joined in the discussion instead of taking it as spam.

 

Von Däniken is the guy who pretty much single-handedly started this whole affair about alleged Egyptian etc. "high-tech" proving that "ancient astronauts" must have visited the Earth and taught humans a thing or two that have since been mysteriously forgotten. Von Däniken's books have been on best-seller lists for years, so I'm sure you can find his writings displayed prominently at any Barnes & Noble store if you want to read more about these kind of hypotheses

He and people of his ilk (say, creationists) suffer from the general problem of pseudoscientists, though: they've started out with something they passionately believe themselves and want to prove to the world, objectivity be damned. That's obviously not how the scientific method works, so it's no wonder they don't get much support from the so-called "mainstream".

While it'd be very exciting to find out that our broad picture of human history is entirely wrong, that doesn't look very likely. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and a healthy dose of skepticism is certainly called for. After all, as Richard Dawkins once remarked, "By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out."
