“If I’m a nutcase, I chose it. I celebrate my nuttyness and I hope others might join me in it.”
Thanks, UC, for the Conversations with History series.
LM.
Harry Kriesler looks like he’s on a rollercoaster.
He sounds like Michael Stipe.
I worked for this guy a long time ago. Didn’t know he was this well known. Weird.
Bill Joy to but he is not involved as much in terms of the culture. Kurzweill is really basically telling us what humans should do and are forced to do as oppose to actually doing what is right for the species.

But instead we get Ray Kurzweill taking up the mainstream telling us machines are going ot rule over us

21st century needs visionaries like him
What ever happened to virtuality??? haha

What an interesting man. He’s like a nerdy, hippy, guru, artistic type. Usually minds like these were glasses and bow ites. I’d love to have an indepth conversation with this guy.
This is a good program, the theme tune is dreadful though…
Hope he didn’t write the intro…
What an amazing visionary, Jaron Lanier. Thank you for this.
