[ExI] Satoshi Nakamoto

[Keith Henson]

I have written since 1990 that the real CO2 crisis will be too little once
we start mining the atmosphere for carbon with nanotechnology. I discussed
this with one of the AIs not long ago. It objected, saying that there was
no biological way to make an original diamond surface, though biological
systems could add carbon. So I said, dust the seeds with diamond dust. The
AI agreed this would work and, of course, told me it was a brilliant idea.

It went on about trees with diamond heart wool and how they would be
self-defending because a chainsaw could not cut them down. And they would
be somewhat resistant to fire because diamond has to get really hot to burn.
