In this episode, Dr. Darrin L. Frye, associate professor of science and technology and innovative futures at the Joint Special Operations University, discusses the profound implications of nanotechnology in modern warfare. He explores the concept of the “resolution revolution,” examining how emerging technologies shift battlefields from traditional domains to the microscopic realms of biology, where threats can operate invisibly at a cellular level. Frye explores the potential of nanoweapons to manipulate human cognition and behavior, raising ethical concerns about their environmental impact and the risk of mass extinction. He emphasizes the urgent need for genetic surveillance to protect against these vulnerabilities and advocates for a strategic approach in preparing for the future of warfare. This conversation serves as a crucial call to action for individuals and policymakers as we face an unprecedented era of conflict intertwined with our very existence.
