The problem is what happens to those of us who choose not to upgrade?

What happens to those 6 billion or more humans (a good 5 billion or more of
completely unaware of the forthcoming transition).  I.e. those who have not
read Nanosystems or Nanomedicine VI or "The consequences of the development"
of an AGI, which has not been written yet?

I want to allow your future while I cherish your past.

Please tell me how to do that.
