  • Transhumanism … when it starts to go the obsession with power route (same for other *isms)

  • Power density … obsession on that due to claims of extraordinary levels of it,

  • Emulated elasticity … promise of ultra tough materials may relate to power obsessions (military armor & stuff)
  • Diamond … obsessive focus on it due to it's king of hardness status of physical materials
  • Weathering, erosion and corrosion … infinitely more outdoor stable materials is nice, their nondegradability less so

  • Geoengineering … risky, possibly delaying the need for actual permanent stable solutions
