Thoughts on Kurzweil and Singularity
Femur: >Do you think we will see the next evolution of mankind as he describes it?I have no idea and I don't believe anybody who says that they know.  The future is unpredictable; there are no crystal balls or formulas that can tell you what is going to happen.  We can always take guesses and make predictions and perhaps some will be close, but I wouldnt count on it.Who in 1920 foresaw the internet?
Who in 1990 saw a second depression in 2008/9?
Who in 1950 predicted the bankruptcy of GM?Generally though, progress keeps progressing.  Man keeps thinking up cool new things and it seems, so far, to be happening at an ever increasing rate.I think the future will continue be as unpredictable as it always is, and I do think it will continue to be awesome.
