This video is an introduction to Ray Kurzweil’s newest project: The Singularity University.
In 2005 Kurzweil published his seminal work, The Singularity is Near. For Kurzweil the Singularity is that point where we are able to transcend the limitations of our biology through our science. I read this book slowly and in detail. I was left with dozens of pages of notes, and a jaw-dropping appreciation of his Vision.
Over the next couple of months, I will be covering his books, and his thought in depth. For now suffice it to say that I believe he is one of the most extraordinary minds of this, or any century AND that his Vision of the Future is as important as it is stunning.
Speaking of Kurzweil Bill Gates of Microsoft had this to say: “Ray Kurzweil is the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence. His intriguing new book envisions a future in which information technologies have advanced so far and fast that they enable humanity to transcend its biological limitations—transforming our lives in ways we can’t yet imagine.”

Below are links to Kurzweil’s books “The Singularity” and to “Transcend.” They are Amazon links so I hope you buy a bunch of copies but even if you don’t, just go to the library and read both books both closely. They are important. “The Singularity” shows a vision of a very possible near future and “Transcend” can literally save your life if you are a Boomer with medical issues.
