"Kurzweil is no futuristic charlatan. He is the real deal, doing real thinking about the world of now and the world of tomorrow. His assertions about things to come are not to be taken lightly: The real-time phone translator that I describe is one of his new inventions; he is still working out the kinks."

By around 2050, "a student will no longer go to school to learn calculus; he or she will acquire the knowledge by digesting a pill that contains new genetic programming and nanotechnology that "puts" calculus into the student's consciousness while enhancing the computational power of his brain."

What does Kurzweil think about the Technocracy movement.? I wonder if you have asked him.? I would hope that if he is as smart as you say, he knows all about it . If he doesn`t I assume you will tell him Brandon.
Let me know what his take on it is.

I at least sent him a link to my singularity blog. His e-mail address is ray@singularity.com.
