Dead are all the Gods: now do we desire the overman to live. - Friedrich Nietzsche
Preface: Is Moore's Law a Religion?
In The Gay Science, Friedrich Nietzsche attempted to explain the loss of objective morality associated with specific religion - namely Christianity. Still extremely controversial, Nietzsche's philosophy, which could be categorized as "atheistic existentialism," stands in sharp contrast to "Christian existentialism," a philosophy popularized by Søren Kierkegaard.
Well, what's wrong with the loss of objective morality? Who cares if society's modus operandi is subjective morality? C.S. Lewis attempts an explanation, saying that:
In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ [chest, or heart, referring to morality] and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful. - C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
The obvious issue examined by Lewis is that a decadent society will eventually collapse, and in an odd way, the semiconductor industry is in a similar predicament.
Moore's Law, which is an observation made by Intel (INTC) co-founder Gordon Moore where the number of transistors on a chip doubles every year while the costs are halved, seems dead.
Atomera Incorporated
Fortunately, for consumers and electronics lovers, my silly analogy between western culture and the semiconductor industry quickly disintegrates at Moore's Law's death, because there are possible solutions to try to eke out a few more years of semiconductor performance improvement, one of which is Atomera's (NASDAQ:ATOM) Mears Silicon Technology. In this article, I will discuss the immense value proposition for Mears Silicon Technology, and possible catalysts for the stock.
