technology and metaphysics positivist philosophy ‐ driving most of modern science and technology takes “metaphysics” to be a meaningless quest for answers to unanswerable questions Nano‐Bio‐Info‐Cogno (NBIC) convergence ‐ presenting itself as ultimate culmination of verum factum metaphysics of NBIC convergence ‐ dreams of overcoming once and for all every given, that is a part of human condition great American mathematician John von Neumann, inventor of game theory and automata theory ‐ founding the so‐called bottom‐up approach which became the landmark of nanotechnology
