It will bring a new meaning to the phrase “I got a computer virus”.

I think that Kurzweil’s DNA has already been corrupted and he has only Hell as a destiny.
Purely satanic.

This level of hubris and stupidity shows a lack of understanding of the true nature of life. Living beings are not organic machines. There is a non-physical component analogous to the signal received by a radio set.

Kurzweil is a twisted, depraved man. Supposedly a genius, he doesn’t understand that combining humans with machines is not an evolutionary process, but the creation of sub-humans.

I know where Kurzweil can insert his USB cord.

My 7 year old already talks about replacing his arm with a bionic arm. We will mesh with machines in the next 25-30 years...

I always thought Kurzweil is "full of it." There are so many unanswered question like if our minds were uploaded to a computer or robot, would our souls follow? Our souls are attached to our mind and body, if I may to use a New Age term, some use the term, the soul is attached via a "silver cord." I guess the soul would follow the mind, or if we had Star Trek transporters, the body as well and would still do so until God and/or luck/circumstance says, "it is our time to go." That's one theory I have, I believe in the attachment theory of mine but in debates about it, I say I don't want to try it out as a guinea pig.

Another concern of mine is I often refer to the cellphone network and internet as a modern day "Tower of Babel." Just as in the Bible, we are too dependent on these things as well a the hubris that goes with it. Like God destroyed The Tower of Babel and scattered Nimrod's builders and contractors to the four winds in a clueless fashion, the same thing can happen here. If you hit the power grid and communication system in a few key areas it will go down and you'll have many clueless people wandering around wonder what to do. If Kurzweil is right, it will be much worse than that.

Kurzweil predicts that humans will become hybrids in the 2030s.

Yeah...well...where is my flying car?

If this ever comes to pass, I must stiplulate that when my natural life comes to an end, so do my bionic implants.
