It's not just about encouraging a healthy discourse in society (with potentially dissenting viewpoints) but is efforts by state and other actors to polarize our society by posting extremist views on both sides of an issue utilizing trolls and bots with the goal of making it difficult to have respect and understanding for others that may stand on the other side of an issue. If people are basing arguments based on false pretexts, with no willingness to trust another persons "facts", then the discourse is dead. In the presence of conflicting evidence, people just cling to preconceived notions and find evidence to validate their assumptions.

Yeah the nano wires of quantum dots sounds very interesting. In my introduction to Nanotech course at school I did a presentation on qunatum dot cellular automata. Essentially they design logic circuits out of precisely laid out circuits of quantum dots. The technology is proof of concept and was awaiting improvements in production technologies . Maybe this will indeed be the key to unlocking 10-20ghz processors (They don't have the same leaky qualities when as densely packed as chips built with MOSFETT. They use electron interactions as a means of propagating signals as opposed to actual current flow) .. Anyhow here is a link to the university doing the research on QCA's for those of you interested... HERE -Ian Roessle
