Reply to comment by kalavala93 in Myth debunked: Myths about nanorobots by kalavala93

There's no laws of physics preventing nanobots from going into the body and repairing damage. There's plenty of papers and some videos describing the nanomedicine process in detail. Robert Freitas talks about this with Ray Kurzweil in this video.

This is true, and I'd hope that superintelligence finds some quirks to exploit molecular nanotechnology.

However, I will say that I'd strongly recommend people not get excited about "Santa Claus machines" or femtotechnology or computronium. The laws of thermodynamics probably aren't changing regardless of intellectual capability, and there's not any physical way to realize these things.

I've been thinking about this for a while and the only logical conclusion that I can come to is that death will always be inevitable. I think I'm going to kill myself to get it over with now if I'm being honest. Because no matter what I do or how long I live it's still going to end abruptly when I'm not ready, so I don't see any real point to continue living further.
