  • one of the top 10 futurists in the nation...faith popcorn...and a few others

  • @virtuatag Nanobots injected into the mitochondria of the skin cells... they just clean up and repair the cells to give Ray the *apperance* of looking younger :)

  • @virtuatag He predicted it!

  • @Domzdream By looking at the way he talks, I can't see how he would express frustration or ever be frustrated. He is extremely passionated about what he does and it attracts people to engage.

  • Is Ray getting younger or what?

  • It must be very frustrating for a mind like him to know how far he could go technologically if not for the current limitations of the resources. And the wait for upcoming technology to be improved for hism to advance his next projects in mind.

  • @OxygenBurglar That is refuted by the past 100 years of exponential growth...we've surely had growing pains in that time, but growth has continued on the same path. Treder is making the claim without the data behind him. Just anecdotally Kurzweil's argument is stronger: if you had said in 1980 that the entire world would be connected in 30 years through electronics, most people would have laughed you off the stage...yet here we are.

  • This is so true...the technology is growing very strong..too strong..and it's nothing wrong with that..the only problem with the grow is...how the people are handling it..and they are not handling it good in the future....i think people only get more crazy or even f*cked up...Ray is very realistic..

  • Science is win

  • @OxygenBurglar

    Eh, our ethics are evolving just as fast as technology. Environmental issues are likely to be solved through technology.
