John, the process you are mentioning is true and worrisome and I investigated this issue with slow release of medication. The problem is the overkill in administration of medication maybe 10% is absorbed in the organism the rest is expelled polluting the environment they are in small quantities but accumulating where they should not and do not decompose easily. One think that I was unable to get trough in my previous message is the issue of social order and compensation, the more automation enters the market the less available jobs are for taking...... and then the question how you administer compensation between those not working because of automation and those employed that will operate robots by their minds. Therefore I mentioned MIT labs. We are in a transition period solar and wind are cheaper than coal and NG to generate energy even Russia goes for wind and solar a development unthinkable 3 years ago China has 3rd straight drop in coal consumption with an expanding economy at a time in 2008 all world production was not enough and forward delivery prices where triple of today. What will the miners do? the truckers and locomotive drivers ? It hits all basic industries that evolved after WWI and where the sign of prosperity. Human life are extending but not social perception at 66 year old you are on the useless heap pushed by the younger generation who is eager to take your place - because mature economies generate to few employment places where know how is appreciated. Not all people are similar to my approach flexible in adapting to new scientific disciplines just to keep abreast of developments some cannot do it even biologically and it is not their fault, and I see good people fall on the sidelines what will society do with this effect? The youngster are arrogant and disregard the gray haired - major change in education is needed, respect appreciation is need to instill in the young generation for those that brought you and your country to the present stage. It is very striking in Israel, people that worked and erected a country from the desert sands fought wars to defend it, risked their life without questioning twice why go in harms way and the list is long, are pushed aside as used socks, undesirable which remind me of the Vietnam veterans that came back with deep war scars and war syndromes and no one gave a damn. Whoever was not under live fire seeing dead and wounded or friends blown into pieces cannot even imagine the nightmares, that last at least a generation. It took me until after year 2000, to relate to the "6 day war" in 1967 and the "Yom Kipur" war in 1973 without unraveling my feelings. What with those that were in wars for years? The bottom line is we have now two major leaders that seems not to foresee all those evolving events and their "blockchains" self fulfilling cycle, make unwise short cuts in the wrong direction and seems to me have a too quick finger on the trigger. Did any one 10 years ago think what an influence the social media will have on our lives, political developments or shaping public opinion bad or good? The answer is no!!! Advanced automation will bring even more drastic social economic changes that any of us imagine and on a state level we are far from being ready and the leadership of the G20 cannot even agree how to tackle those changes. Many talk of smart cities without having a clue what it means, how machines can act as humans? Killing is done remote control on video screens no smell of burned flesh or screams of pain. all is insulated and cruel with out human touch, just a video game. To me very scary.
