He’s been called the “restless genius”, the “rightful heir to Thomas Edison”, a “jewier Tony Stark” (OK, that last one was me and it was meant to be endearing) but Ray Kurzweil is at minimum the poster boy for an optimistic manifest future, and that’s something.
This was a pretty good interview for getting him off his typically (nano-)robotic scripted pattern of speech.
I just love hearing about a future that doesn’t resemble a sunless hellscape where roving bands of dudes in pick-up trucks have formed raping parties.
