Are you disagreeing with something I said? I’m not sure nanotech would be better at killing that way than a designer virus, which should be a lot easier and cheaper (possibly even when accounting for the need to find a way to prevent it from spreading to your own side, if that’s necessary). Nanotech might be able to do things that a virus can’t, but that would be the sort of thing I mentioned. Anyway I don’t see how we could effectively spend money now to prevent either.

I agree with this. I disagree that there are no clear non-goo extinction risks associated with nano, and gave an example of one.
