Only idiots think the ruling class and big tech would use this technology to turn everyone into a supergenius. They'll use it to make you a drooling retard literally incapable of resistance, likely years before this tech would even be capable of making anyone smarter.

I know the rich want it for themselves, I'm saying they don't want it for normal people. They want to create a wider gap between you and them. If this technology ever exists, they'll use it to make everyone else dumber and easier to control and then use it to improve themselves. Everyone being a genius threatens existing power structures.

Doubt that will last even if it will come to pass though.

Assuming those nanobots would be permanently connected to internet it would take only one rogue programmer to have a change of heart and hide release code in regular update.

It took only one Damore to make a royal mess for google. I doubt he's the last of his kind.

No, we'll separate into the "elites", "cyborgs" (drooling slaves to the elites), and luddites.

There is no possible scenario where the people who literally consider you cattle will do anything to improve your life in any way. Noone's working on "uplifting" a pig in a pen. If someone comes to you and says "Hey, want a chip in your brain? It'll make you reeeeeal smart!", then I beg you to break the motherfucker's neck, because otherwise you'll be another body normal people will have to mow down in the uprising.

I think you project too much humanity on them. Most of these fuckers are enraged that their pile of money won't save them from death, and they would never extend immortality to you if they had it, because then they lose their status. Money doesn't mean shit if everyone's immortal.

I'd think they'd be aware of the possibility of such nanobots accidentally infected themselves and consider the risk too great.

He (Kurzweil) has spoken about becoming a woman in a transhumanist world.

He’s a narcissist pissing his pants publicly over his terror of his own mortality. And getting paid for it by other terrified boomer narcissists who are beginning to realize their time is nearly up.

Dude, come back to reality, I know it's horrible, but you're absolutely delusional.

CEOs and "elites" of our kakistocracy have always loved listening to the craziest person they could find as long as he seemed really sure about what he was saying. A hundred years ago it was seances and shitty esotericism, not too different from today's 16 year old "witches" on tumblr, just a bit more fancy. It was a HUGE fad.

This article is from 2012. It's also devoid of any real examples, it's just some faggot absolutely gushing over Kurtzweil.

Ray talked about 3D printing and where that technology currently is. Specifically, where synthetic biology and cellular printing are, as developing scientific fields. A highschool student with a desktop today, can do what only a highly trained biological engineer and a government-funded computer facility could do a decade ago.

This was absolutely not true in 2012, and it's also absolutely not true 9 years later. The File->Scan analogy in the paragraph below is mind numbingly stupid.

Holy fucking shit, never mind, I just scrolled all the way to the bottom and this is literally just an ad for Kurzweil's fucking book. This is an advertisement. And now that I scrolled all the way back up, it's also on some blog called TECH GUYS WHO UNDERSTAND MARKETING.

If you want to learn where technology really is, where it’s headed and how to start thinking in an exponential way to stay ahead of the curve, study Ray’s material with an open mind. You will not be disappointed! You can find the ‘How To Create A Mind’ pre-order page here. http://howtocreateamind.net/pre/order

You really need to work on your bullshit detector.

Would it kill you to throw in a few paragraph breaks? That wall of text is so dense it makes my eyes hurt looking at it.

Man thinking that he can become God. Nothing changes.

With the current distortions in place, we can only ever risk becoming bigger retards with a bigger vocabulary to facilitate it.
