Why does everyone focus on the harmful uses of nanoparticles? Let’s not ignore the great advances in medicine that they have enabled, as shown here in the well-known documentary.

A lot of them may well be selling scam cures and are in it for the money.
There seem to be a lot of homeopaths and shady naturopaths on the make. Of course some are just off–the–wall bonkers.
This reminds me of people who rail against “The Devil” and say he is the Great Deceiver, a creature with God like powers out to fool the unrighteous. And they think that they as mere mortals have the power to detect and defeat this superior being. If the devil is really as powerful as they claim, then they as mere humans would have zero chance against such a being. Any deceptions would be perfect and undetectable to mortals, whereass these people can’t even detect ordinary human-level deception by preachers.

Corollary: If God is omnipotent/omniscient, the Devil a) cannot be independent, and b) cannot be a “mistake” or an accident ^^’ .

Indeed. The whole God versus an adversarial devil thing is silly. It’s predicated on the mythology of older style gods of polytheism, where they weren’t all powerful, and is wholey (holy?) incompatible with the idea of an omnipotent monotheistic God.

I feel like I learned something valuable from this article: I finally feel like I kinda ‘get’ how this myth got founded: they simply don’t understand what the prefix ‘nano’ means.
Although it was left out of the rather confusing BBC version a couple years ago, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency features a ‘character’ called The Electric Monk that I think of more and more these days.
Either that, or God has been on the celestial holodeck screaming for a bridge or an exit for the past couple thousand years, and no longer yearns for a worthy adversary.

We should definitely outsource the believing of ridiculous stuff to a dedicated appliance ;-D
Though the Electric Monk is about as dangerous as a Qanon follower, so maybe there wouldn’t be any difference.
