Yeah but Ray Kurzweil forgets that with Obamacare we will not see it. Obama will keep lowering the age to kill off seniors. The Greatest Generation has to be put down ASAP. They actually know what The Constitution is.

“Immortality only 20 years away say scientists”

Really....

Like such a claim has never been made before.

Too bad though, Algore already said the world will be over well before that. Global warming, you know. Or the super volcanoes may go off before then, or maybe we’ll run out of oil before then.

All the politicians, however, applauded in ecstacy, for now they’d have limitless taxes they could extract from people forever.

>> Mr Kurzweil adds that although his claims may seem far-fetched

They do.

All I need to know is: what nanotechnology company is Kurzweil promoting, investing in, or “consulting” for, and when does he think the IPO will happen?

“Virtual sex will become commonplace.”

Some might say we’ve had that since the first issue of Playboy.

Others would say we’ve had it since the first human “imagined”.

It’s called masturbation. Playboy capitalized on that 60 years ago.

“Immortality Only 20 Years Away Says Scientist [Predicts”Virtual Sex Will Become Commonplace”]”

Was that a typo? Did he mean “Immorality”?

“Ray Kurzweil & Terry Grossman’s Longevity Products

Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman M.D. have written a new health book called TRANSCEND: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever, which takes into account the research and insights gained since their book Fantastic Voyage presented the scientific case for radical life extension.

TRANSCEND, available in stores starting April 28, presents a practical plan to attain optimal health and enjoy a longer quality lifespan, as well as updated recommendations and details on personalizing your longevity program.”


Yup, follow the money. Yet another charlatan, a predator in a country loaded with pseudo-scientific suckers that are easy marks.

“nanobots will replace blood cells and do their work thousands of times more effectively”

This is nonsense.
