T O P I C R E V I E Wemitresanyone else here familiar with this man? we just watched a documentary about him and his theory of singularity... quite fascinating but i have to say that i think he's a little off his nut... but that's not the reason for this post... he too believes in physical immortality but with a twist - a rather big twist... he believes that in the not so distant future ( another 30 or so years if i recall correctly ) we will be able to effectively replace all of our working parts with technological counterparts... that's a vastly simplified version of his theory... he has also "created" a diet to maintain his physical form as healthy as can be until such a time as the singularity occurs... at the time of the documentary he was ingesting approximately 200 ( not a typo, 200 ) pills a day to supplement his diet... 200 each and every day... ( kinda trumps your mere 15 Randall ) thoughts? ------------------" Some define good as that which preserves, and evil as that which destroys; but destruction can be cleansing and purifying, for there is such a thing in both men and races as spiritual constipation, which comes from too much preservation of the status quo." ( Dion Fortune )RandallWilliam Shatner talked about him at DragonCon. Personally, I'd rather keep my own body parts.------------------I have CDO.

Kurzweil seems to focus too much on the biology/science of human life and doesn't seem to take into account our soul - in the film he states quite clearly that his primary motivation for pushing this is to bring back his dead father... hhmmm------------------" Some define good as that which preserves, and evil as that which destroys; but destruction can be cleansing and purifying, for there is such a thing in both men and races as spiritual constipation, which comes from too much preservation of the status quo."
