Fantasies? I'm afraid that you don't seem to have a rational viewpoint
here. Drexler's work is, sorry to say for you, a reality. STMs have
already been used to nanoposition individual atoms. Genetic
engineering already produces perfect macromolecules to nearly to
specification. One or the other of these technologies will lead us to
nanotech within fifty years at most. However, I find the fact that you
are an evil individual on a Hitlerian scale far more disturbing than
your ignorance. You said:

How dare you plot the deaths of billions of people? You are the lowest
form of scum on the planet. Does the suffering and murder of literally
billions of people not even phase you? Or are you simply one of those
disgusting lefty amoralists that thinks that mass murder is okay so
long as its for the good of the cause -- Pol Pot being one of your
fellow travelers.
I assure you that were I in the room with you right now, and if I
thought that you were seriously able to carry out your threat, I would
have no hesitation whatsoever about killing you in self defense. I do
not care to see the deaths or suffering of all those I hold dear so
that a creature like you can feel good about the planet being empty.
