The Coming Singularity: Ray Kurzweil
Posted by Müslüm Yildiz in categories: computing, engineering, neuroscience, Ray Kurzweil, singularity
By 2045, we’ll have expanded the intelligence of our human machine civilization a billion fold. That will result in a technological singularity, a point beyond which it’s hard to imagine…
“Well, by 2020 we’ll have computers that are powerful enough to simulate the human brain, but we won’t be finished yet with reverse engineering the human brain and understanding its methods.”

New Tech Is Giving Humanity Many Potential Paths to Immortality
Posted by Alexander Rodionov in categories: life extension, neuroscience, Ray Kurzweil, singularity
Both Kurzweil and the 2045 program have predicted the state of machine-human singularity being achieved by 2045, but what are the methods of achieving such an end and what are the consequences of doing so?
Herodotus’s Fountain of Youth. Rowling’s Philosopher’s Stone. Barrie’s Neverland. Ovid’s Cumaean Sibyl. The idea of immortality has been ingrained in humanity’s creative consciousness since our humble beginnings. In the present day, eternal youth may soon move out of the realms of myth and into a reality thanks to developing technologies.

The Elite Want to Transfer Consciousness Into a New Body and Live Forever
Posted by Zoltan Istvan in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, nanotechnology, neuroscience, Ray Kurzweil, transhumanism
A conspiracy theory article that I think is spreading semi-fake news (but it’s interesting to see how some people react to #transhumanism):
While the title of this article may sound like it belongs on a strange and dark science fiction movie, it doesn’t. Unfortunately, it seems that as the technological world continues to advance, the more the old adage ‘the truth is stranger than fiction’ becomes true.
