They're Controlling Us With Nano Diamonds?! Founders Deep Dive into the Elite's Ancient Alchemy Playbook
This Founders Call picks up where FFG's quantum nano-diamond project concluded and carries the analysis forward across several consequential vectors.
Returning Founder Benjamin Wood — a chef with a long background in alchemical study — and Michael traced the nano-diamond thesis through its historical precursors: alchemy as industrial-scale matter manipulation, crystalline structures as information storage and transmission substrates, and the gemstone traditions of multiple civilizations as frameworks for working with encoded matter.
The more pressing second-order questions emerged in the second half of the conversation. If nano-diamonds enter the population through standard healthcare delivery and can be activated by ambient Wi-Fi frequencies, the question moves past technology. Who controls the network? What does sovereignty look like when the substrate is biological and the nodes are people?
These are not fringe topics. Nanodiamond sensing and near-Earth orbit computation are active, funded areas of research and industry investment, and biometric identity systems are already in deployment in multiple jurisdictions.
This matters for anyone thinking about privacy, data exposure, and where technology and identity systems are heading over the next several years. The conversation itself ranged much further, into ancient-civilization theory, near-death experience accounts, and interpretive material on crystal structures and consciousness.
