Dominov rated 8 months ago- This isn't that great of a description. It makes it sound like the rest of the retarded futurism. Kurzweil is more focused on allowing all the other futurists to reach their crazy goals.

- A truly intelligent and creative human being. Does this sound possibly totalitarian to anyone? From the page: "Everything will be subject to his Law of Accelerating Returns, Kurzweil says, because "everything is ultimately becoming information technology." As we are able to reverse-engineer and decode our own DNA, for instance, medical technology can be converted to bits and bytes and zoom along at the same fantastic rate. That will enable overlapping revolutions in genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics. Which is how you end up with nanobots living in your brain."

- After reading a bit about transhumanism on its wiki, everything about this sickens me. these ideas of a perfect world are wrong. differences between people are a part of nature. death is a part of nature. they are not meant to be fixed. these people want to exceed nature? to become gods? that is that what they have learned in life? now that is not human! they already think they are gods that can foresee the future, while the truth is they have no idea of the consequences and how everything will get blown up in their faces. you may want to put your future in the hands of these technology-obssessed egomaniacs and worship the emptiness beneath these superintelligent ideas. but i'd rather be the one putting the nails in their coffins.

- "The Smartest Futurist On Earth If legendary inventor Ray Kurzweil is right, the future will be a lot brighter - and weirder - than you think."

- @ruthmellem: Yeah, because any species capable of orchestrating the Holocaust must be inherently and purely righteous. I'm more concerned with whether or not Kurzweil's claims are made to instill false hope, because what he may actually be predicting is an inevitable/irreversible global catastrophe; something along the lines of the destruction or Earth, or at least humanity.

- The Smartest Futurist on Earth. "If you went around saying that in a couple of decades we'll have cell-sized, brain-enhancing robots circulating through our bloodstream, or that we'll be able to upload a person's consciousness into a computer, people would probably question your sanity. But if you say things like that and you're Ray Kurzweil, you get invited to dinner at Bill Gates' house - twice - so he can pick your brain for insights on the future of technology. The Microsoft chairman calls him a "visionary thinker and futurist." Kurzweil is an inventor whose work in artificial intelligence has dazzled technological sophisticates for four decades. He invented the flatbed scanner, the first true electric piano, and large-vocabulary speech-recognition software; he's launched ten companies and sold five, and has written five books; he has a BS in computer science from MIT and 13 honorary doctorates (but no real one); he's been inducted into the Inventor's Hall of Fame and charges $25,000 every time he gives a speech - 40 times last year."

- this is transhumanism, and inherently evil.

- A disturbing and probably true vision of our near future
