Default Kurzweil Is Very Well Known.

Kurzweil is probably one of today's leading "futurist"...
The Club of Rome or Toffler of our time...
And all his speculations will be just as inaccurate.

We need guys like him...
But he makes false assumptions...
And then lets his fantasies go out of control.

For example...
"Human progress" is not exponential at all.

Some things do not advance at all...
Some things are linear...
Some things are faster and non-linear...
But nothing is exponential...
As his chess, rice, Emperor story should illustrate.

Kurzweil's real obsession is immortality via Life Extension technology...
Book called "Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough To Live Forever"...
At Amazon here:
Ray's Book

It's a very well written book on leading edge Health Supplements and Optimal Lifestyle.

Buy it.

If you put this book into action...
You won't live forever...
But you will add 20 healthy years to your life.
