Love the video, but a note to the editor: please normalize the volume level before you export these files. And for this one, some noise cancellation would have been nice too.
Why Not Now one way to think about it is like having a Lucid Dream. Except you don’t have just control over yourself, but you will have realistic control over many entities within a “Dream World”. It may seem farfetched, but try going back to the 60s and explain TH-cam to humans.
@n4979338 I hope that you are wrong. I would very much like to "merge" with our technology . So, that instead of being replaced, I would simply augment myself. I take this idea from one of my favorite sci-fi movies called "Ghost in the Shell". If you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend it.
@Blackthornerose No problem; don't worry about it. Looking back, I probably could have been more clear. But NOW I'm pissed for having to look up "Mea Culpa;"(J/K) I don't want to start an apology war,& honestly I didn't expect an apology from you, so I was a bit rude in reply, so sorry. ANYWAY!What I meant at first was that I'm SO TIRED of the way people get a bit of information on a subject,& suddenly they feel qualified to make statements w/an air of ABSOLUTE SURETY, you know? (continue>)
An actual proven track record is one of the best ways to boost your credibility....Kurzweil has exactly that, so to not believe him is pure folly. People who think he's crazy need to ditch their primitive linear thinking, and start thinking like a true visionary - exponentially, and in 3 dimensions.
@OxygenBurglar Those ideas are only conceived because technologies point in those directions. You're thriving in the age of convenience right now and for you, it's not convenient they're only being talked about right now, so for you it's a bad idea. Accelerating implies that it begins slowly. The law of accelerating returns is logarithmic. Look at how fast cell phones went from a niche device to ubiquitous usage.You're probably too young to remember when no one had cell phones or computers.
@OxygenBurglar Yes a few of his preditcions didn't come true for '09, but but you are clearly cherry picking. The majority did in one form or another. Also, just because a technology hasn't become widley available yet doens't mean it hasn't been invented yet.
@matThaHatter (cont)Of course,people have the right to speak with confidence on whatever they like,but it often seems like the most cursory understanding of something gives people that confidence. See what I mean? I know quite a bit about a lot of things,but a LOT about very few. And anyone with an education now-a-days knows how specialized EVERY DIFF. FIELD has become.Though this can help ID the fakers,it also means that their IGNORANCE of how IGNORANT they are makes them pretty much (cont>)
@matThaHatter IMPERVIOUS to any new information that isn't at least based on the assumptions they hold,or offers something EVEN MORE desirable to their personal desires. Does that make sense? I'm sorry to ramble, but I don't usually do well with small talk(as you noticed); if something is worth saying at all, it's worth saying accurately. So there it is.People who never ask questions,or make statements w/out room for adjustment,usually aren't as smart as they'd like you to think they are.adios
erm, shouldn't you be able to get a decent sound out of your exponentially growing audio-recording technology? 5 stars for Ray, 1 star for the poor audio engineering... Rather embarrassing, lol...

I find this video soothing
Can anyone explain what it might be like experientially to connect to the cloud in your mind?

You are probably part of Kurweils Tribe. :D
Ray is from the future.
not necessarily, but it may be the most expedient means.

@OxygenBurglar....Grasshopper stands on the tracks, sees no train, so he says it's a bogus fantasy.

@kakapo989 tttt
kurzweil must get way tired of explaining this over and over again, (like the beach boys singing the same song over and over) to non geniuses
erm, shouldn't you be able to get a decent sound out of your exponentially growing audio-recording technology?

Grow up. Seriously...
