Ray kurzweil is transhumanist scum, and wants to replace human bodies with machines (which will be patented and sold by Google). He admits in his book that this technology will only be available to the elite, in an attempt to become super humans by merging with machines. He hopes that those who don't adopt the tech will be sterilized or ostracized.

He basically wants an irl elysium with two classes, the poor and the "upgraded." It's not about improving life for the world it's about cheating death himself.

If you think this shit sounds whacky just remember it's true. And that in kurzweil's book his fantasy is to merge his mind with a computer to have sex with an ai. So yes, he is a genius, but he is also a fucking lunatic.

You sound pretty mad about the idea that some guy might manage to not die.

Fuck man, imagine if napoleon had found out a way to be immortal, we'd all be speaking French

All I'm saying is humans will use that power to conquer and enslave other humans and to ignore that possibility is foolish.
