Nanotechnology and the Myth of Moderinty

The myth of modernity moves from one hot topic to another. Whatever is perceived as the technology of the day takes center stage, and all sorts of stories take hold. Some see a bright new world. Others see nothing but dystopia. However, whichever side the believers take, they share the overarching idea that modernity is about to supersede God himself.

Nanotechnology is currently the hot topic that conjures up the imagination of the believers. There's no limit to what this technology can do, according to them. Every bodily function can be controlled and monitored, including our thoughts and feelings. But this vision is a far cry from what can actually be achieved. Nanotechnology is no closer to controlling us than alchemists are to the philosopher's stone.

Believers in modernity have a tendency to also believe in the state as an omnipotent institution. There's a close connection between state worship and modernity worship, and political leaders tend to exploit this fact. They align themselves with the technology of the day, and declare themselves gods.

Believers in modernity become in this way convinced that resistance is futile and our fate is sealed. However, nature is much more complex and subtle than anyone can comprehend. Even the most dedicated scientist can only hope to grasp a fraction of it. To think we can put it all together into a system of control is delusional. But this isn't going to stop them from trying.

If they haven't already put nanoparticles into vaccines, they are sure to do so soon. They will fiddle around, and they will get a few of their beliefs confirmed. Nanoparticles may well be able to transmit and receive electromagnetic signals. But this is where it will end. There won't be any mind control or the like.

We don't need to fear a dystopian future in which everyone is but a drone controlled by the bureaucracy of the state. There's no chance of nanotechnology ever becoming the control tool that it's made out to be. However, vaccine producers have no reason not to experiment with this. They have legal immunity and a large pool of willing subjects for experimentation. There's nothing stopping researchers from incorporating nanoparticles in vaccines. The temptation to do so must be substantial, and this should be our true concern.

The combination of legal immunity, vaccine mandates, blind devotion to science, and a love affair with nanotechnology is going to make a lot of people seriously ill.
