@DeathBringer769 I would disagree - kurzweil has a great track record of making accurate predictions - There is a university based on the ideas in his book and there are many other projects worldwide that concur with his timeline.

but do you really want to live forever in a physical body with all its ailments and restrictions?
The future is VR. I mean real VR not these nintendo kids games. but VR where the impossible becomes possible and no physical restrictions apply and which beats reality hands down in every aspect in terms of aesthetics, comfort and flexibility
the goal of technology has to be to live in the imagination eventually

@iCanHazit another 5-7 or 30-40

@EPICPokerTV4 he means about 30 years. give or take another 5-7 years. Maybe 40 or so if you're middle class.

@IndieAnthias Kaku owns this guy in my opinion.

@bagginshates How to go hiking when you are in a wheelchair paralyzed? How to go hiking when you are dead? When the singularity comes, you wont have to fear those things anymore.

Predicting the future is the hardest thing to do.

Recognized his voice immediately... One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE ALBUMS is Spiritual Machines by Our Lady Peace. Unfortunately, the band has peaked, but in this album Ray reads excerpts from his book "The Age Of Spiritual Machines" and it's badass. I really need to read this book some day... Now all you intelligent people, carry on with your talk of singularity...
