Technology

Ridiculously Accurate ‘Futurist’ Shares His Bold Prediction on The Glenn Beck Program

Nov. 20, 2012 7:53pm Liz Klimas

Glenn Beck Sits Down With Furturist Ray Kurzweil to Talk about The Singularity and Humanitys Technology Driven Future

Inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil (Image: Wikimedia)

The Mayans might have predicted that the end of the world is only a month away from now, but Ray Kurzweil would say the end of the world as we know it will come sometime in the middle of 2040.

At that time, Kurzweil believes technology and artificial intelligence (or accelerated intelligence as he would call it) will be so advanced that humans will augment their own minds and organs with computers that exceed their own natural intelligence.

Kurzweil has been called a “restless genius” and a “futurist.” On Tuesday, he sat down with Glenn Beck again on TheBlaze TV to discuss his ideas and his new book “How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed.”

If you haven’t heard yet of Kurzweil and his ideas, the crux is that at some point in the not so distant future humanity will make a technology-evolutionary jump, which he calls “the singularity.” Believing such an event could happen feeds on itself creating an atmosphere that moves the necessary technological advances in genetics, robotics and other fields forward to a point where computers will exceed human intelligence and the only logical next step would be for us to use them to improve ourselves.

Here is a very brief snapshot of how Kurzweil describes the singularity on his website:

Within a quarter century, nonbiological intelligence will match the range and subtlety of human intelligence. It will then soar past it because of the continuing acceleration of information-based technologies, as well as the ability of machines to instantly share their knowledge. Intelligent nanorobots will be deeply integrated in our bodies, our brains, and our environment, overcoming pollution and poverty, providing vastly extended longevity, full-immersion virtual reality incorporating all of the senses (like “The Matrix”), “experience beaming” (like “Being John Malkovich”), and vastly enhanced human intelligence. The result will be an intimate merger between the technology-creating species and the technological evolutionary process it spawned.

[...]

We’ll get to a point where technical progress will be so fast that unenhanced human intelligence will be unable to follow it. That will mark the Singularity.

[...]

I set the date for the Singularity—representing a profound and disruptive transformation in human capability—as 2045. The nonbiological intelligence created in that year will be one billion times more powerful than all human intelligence today.

In this way, it would create a new type of humanity that doesn’t even necessarily die. In fact, in a Time magazine article published last year, the writer Lev Grossman stated that it is Kurzweil’s goal to stay alive until singularity is achieved for this reason. He’s 63 now but described his biological self as 20 years younger than that.

Here’s how Grossman described the singularity’s potential impact on humanity:

Once hyper-intelligent artificial intelligences arise, armed with advanced nanotechnology, they’ll really be able to wrestle with the vastly complex, systemic problems associated with aging in humans. Alternatively, by then we’ll be able to transfer our minds to sturdier vessels such as computers and robots. He and many other Singularitarians take seriously the proposition that many people who are alive today will wind up being functionally immortal.

Kurzweil calls the exponential speed by which technology is advancing the law of accelerating returns. Here is a chart and graph showing the “countdown to singularity.”

Watch Kurzweil appearance on TheBlaze TV below:

Part II:

Part III:

Based on Kurzweil’s law, he has created predictions of where technology will be in the near future. Here are just a few predictions that he gave at a recent conference (via Business Insider):

Our brains will extend to the cloud, which will allow us to learn new things at any age.

We will be able to selectively erase pieces of our memory.

We’ll be in augmented reality at all times.

By 2029, machines will be able to match the intelligence of humans, and they’ll be able to make us laugh and cry.

Around the 2030s, tiny “nanobots” able to repair and preserve our organs will keep us healthier and smarter.

3D printing will be even more common than it is today, with public 3D printing stations for people to print out clothes, toys, and anything else.

Within 25 years, computers will be the size of a blood cell and we’ll be able to connect it to the brain without the need for surgery.

Society will reach a state of “technological singularity” in 2045 where technology enables superhuman machine intelligences to emerge and people and machines become deeply integrated.

On his evening show, Beck said that when he and Kruzweil meet every five years or so, it seems that more and more of his predictions are coming to fruition.

In addition to this theory, Kurzweil is also known as the inventor of the CCD flat-bed scanner, machines that help the blind read by translating print to speech, and a music synthesizer that recreates a grand piano and other orchestra instruments, among other items. He has been awarded several honors, including the National Medal of Technology in 1999 from former President Bill Clinton.

Read more about Kurzweil’s ideas on his website or at Singularity.com, which is more about his book.

There is also a film based on Kurzweil’s book. Here’s its trailer:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

  I sorry but problem with this guys predictions are that communistic societies do not make these kind of advances like a free society would. My prediction is a complete world wide depression & science research funding will dry up. People will be starving & fighting over what little food they can find. Nobody will care about iphones or computers because they wont be able to afford them. This will be the result of policies aimed at population control efforts by this gov. Bottom line we are in for a downward spiral that could wind up like the good book says “The End Times” http://youtu.be/vgDkznPS4zI
  they are coming I fear real soon.

  PARAPHRASING RAY COMFORT: Let’s say you were arrested for a serious crime. You come into court, fully prepared to go to jail for several years – finally it’s your turn to appear in front of the JUDGE who is very serious, very intimidating. After a moment the Judge looks at you and says; You are free to go. Your sins/crime have been paid for. “By whom?” You ask. “By the Son of the GOD who created you. ” God created everything. We do not know how. We know He did. As with any creator, He wanted to share it. He could create an appreciative audience, I suppose, but He wanted real minds to share with, He created Man. He didn’t want Man to be lonely, He created WOMAN and He gave both of them FREEDOM OF CHOICE/FREE WILL. Life on Earth was to be a training ground of sorts. Some plants lived, some died, some produced good fruit, some didn’t an mankind was to choose Him (Hopefully). In order to be able to make a choice, there had to be a choice..so the
  tree of Knowledge was planted in the middle of their garden. Backstory here is the Fallen Angel (now known as Satan) who didn’t want to go along with GOD but wanted to be GOD. The first example of PRIDE (going before the fall) SO all of life since has been the test between Good and Evil.
  OUR first job, folks, is to get close to GOD. All of the rest will take care of itself. US – GOD. Do not fret about tomorrow. IF you go to GOD you will know a Peace that Passes All understanding!

  Sooth sayers; Fortune tellers; Mayan Calendars; Communists; Obama; Marxists…liberals can run amok but you won’t care. LIFE, this life here on this planet is a very short ‘testing facility’. NO GOD who truly loves us would put in a place to eventually die. BUT a GOD who wants His creations with Him for Eternity would want to bring along only those who, on their own, made the choices which means that eternal life won’t be the hell, the chaos that earth is with the evil threaded throughout.
  
  You can either spend your time trying to ‘forecast’ the future; worrying about the future’ even fretting about when Christ will return or even still more foolish: trying to manipulate events to force Jesus to come sooner (as if you can force God to do anything!!!) or you can get busy knowing GOD, knowing the BIBLE, understanding that it’s really ONE BIG STORY and even all the side-stories feed into the main stream of the story from Old to and finally in Revelations. The more you know about it, the more amazed you will become. Most of the sayings you think Ben Franklin said or others are actually in the BIBLE. Until, however, you read it with a receptive heart, the words are blah blah blah blah…but with a receptive heart, it reads the the most engrossing novel you’ve ever had your hands on! Nothing else counts really. Not who wins elections, not who is currently UP or DOWN or RICH or POOR…the only thing that counts is GOD. THINKABOUTIT.

  Precisely. His wild ideas about the future cannot exist without the foundation of a strong, booming economy. It also can’t exist without a society concerned with only doing good things for their fellow human beings. I’m not saying something like he’s imagining can’t ever happen, but I think the process will be severely halted by economic disaster, along with the requisite power-hungry lunatics bent on world domination. Right now, computers are at the mercy of the programmers, and reflect their influence. There has to be input, for there to be output. His premonitions are wildly optimistic. I’m afraid I just don’t trust humanity the way he seems to.

  thatsitvehadenough– I’m familiar with 21. The book on the other hand is in dispute. The real author of the book about agenda 21 is furious about Glenn’s association with it. Beck is one hell of a salesman and has a loyal following somewhat gullible and Mr. Beck exploits this weakness to the max. Sad really! As for me I am saving my lemonade stand money to purchase a pair of Glenn’s new $129.99 pairs of blue jeans before the caliphate hits!

  The problem with the endless extrapolation into the future is that it eventually needs an unlimited power source. We are quickly running out of easily available energy (oil). There will be a significant roadblock. The future may end up looking more like the 1900′s than this computer driven utopia.
  
  Also our near term economic future is bleak at best. Based on our debt based world currencies, we have very limited growth left without collapse.
  
  Dangerous is the claims of individuals who endlessly extrapolate into the future current trends.

  I am really suprised to see Glenn put this stuff on his show. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, (Mormon), this thought process eliminates the need for God. We believe in the resurrection after death. Not some techno-eternal lfe. God is not all knowing because he is half computer.
  This is a counterfeit version of God’s plan. And you know who is always trying to imitate God? That would be the Devil.
  I believe Jesus Christ came to earth, lived a mortal life, then was crucified and died. Three days later he overcame death by being ressurected by the power of God. He lives today in a perfect immortal body. No computers.
  Don’t be deceived!

  This does smell of shameless self-promotion. Kurzweil is a bit aloof and arrogant for me. I think he is simply a man with best days (and inventions) behind him and he wants to sell books and go out speaking. Unfortunately, I think the same may be true for Glenn.
  
  Many of the people that watched him after “waking up” in 2006-2008 are in a much better head-space now; eyes wide open, talking to their Creator, making positive changes to fix their families and be a blessing to their fellow man. My wife and I evangelize for Free Markets, true Biblical faith in God (notice I didn’t say Christianity?), and a correct teaching of historical events of the world. Long story short we don’t need Glenn anymore, and this is good for the country. It is bad for Glenn and Mercury. He will be forced to compromise his separatist leanings (like signing up with Dish) and his rebel edge in order to keep the enterprise running with fewer viewers. I will still buy his books from time to time if they are something that interests me, but honestly I read my Scriptures more than anything else these days because my thirst for the truth sends me there.
  
  Glenn, thank you for your hard work, perseverance, and everything else you have a great heart. You have given your audience the full E4 training program and we are very grateful. However, you have a business to run and this movement is about independence. So, as for me and my house; we are off to serve YHVH in the best way we can. Peace be with you B

  @ PattyHenry – That’s right, just like Ray Comfort says. Not according to what we find at Genesis 3:4,5. But that’s pretty inconvenient, so therefore it must be correct to think that death is a reward, like satan said, and not punishment for disobedience and rebellion like God said. That’s right, satan said we wouldn’t die, and God said we would, I guess that means satan has won, because everybody KNOWS that when you die, your ‘soul’ goes to heaven, or paradise in case your a muslim, or the happy hunting ground in case you’re native american, or native canadian. The devil wouldn’t lie about a little thing like that, would he? Obviously, the Bible was printed wrong so it needs to be reprinted again and remove that little gem too. You and Ray get right to work on that, will you, please?
  
  “LIFE, this life here on this planet is a very short ‘testing facility’. NO GOD who truly loves us would put in a place to eventually die” isn’t in the Bible I read. I’ve never seen testing facility listed as any of the things the earth is meant for. Never mind the resurrections chronicled throughout the scriptures, or the context leading up to them, or what they really represent.
  
  What a great way to keep people in chains, a bribe with eternity in heaven or a threat with eternity in hell. Your hearts are in the right place, but I can’t agree with man over the Bible.

I tried it, and I read the Bible and many, many books on religion. The one thing that bothers me about Glen Beck is that he is Mormon. However, he explained that he converted so his hot wife would marry him. I can relate to that. Whatever it takes, eh? I admire him for his success…a disc jockey that made good.
  
  Politically, I’m a moderate. We are few and far between it seems.

  in 1968, when the movie 2001, A Space Odyssey premiered computer scientists predicted that artificial intelligence would be created in ten years. In 1978, when AI did not appear, once again they predicted ten years until finally, in 1988, they stopped predicting. If you notice, people wrongly predict things all the time. More importantly, no one ever predicts correctly. No one predicted cell phones, video games or for that matter, something as silly and mundane as the pet rock. There is a good reason for this of course,no human being can predict the future.

As with most futurists, the technology is the easy thing to project. What we need are some moralists to help us understand that just because we can do something doesn’t mean we should, and help us evaluate the consequences of our actions. Anything is possible, but not always recommended, maybe with enhanced minds people will see the consequences of socialism is slavery and the loss of the beauty of the diverse.

  The technology is inevitable, we can’t stop it no more than we can control the climate. We should therefore prepare for when the computers are smarter than we are so that they are by our design moral; otherwise the computers will take over, or more probably, just ignore us because they would no longer have a need for their creator.

  I agree, technology and science, like all other powers, must be limited. The danger of our slide into socialism won’t be apparent to the majority until it’s too late. The same with runaway technology in the hands of the elite, while common men are cut off. Bio tech is far more dangerous than computers. Men control computers, bio tech controls men.

  Having read way too many predictions from experts, present and past, I’ll wait to see what happens. Usually they’re about 20% correct and 80% “wtf?” when you go back and read their predictions.
  
  I suspect before computers have to “become as intelligent as us” they’d first have to actually become intelligent aka self-aware. We’re not even close to that yet. Big push in the 90′s by very scarily obsessed geeks which kind of turned into little more than today’s data mining and heuristics for anti-virus.

There was a movie awhile back, sci-fi, called Forbidden Planet. It starred Leslie Nielson and Walter Pidgeon. Watch it when you can. In the movie there was an evil manifested by the inhabitants, fed by the energy of the planet. This evil was named “Monster of the ID or the mind. The overview was that technology overwhelmed the inhabitants that they self destructed themselves in their hubris. Ray Kurzweil has envisioned the same scenario.

  Always wondered what the “Krell” in the movie would have looked like.
  
  Lacking a belief in God always accelerates “creative” works like Kurzwell’s, we can supplant and be as gods, he incorrectly believes. Marx and Engels followed this thought.

  Trollmonger, they dont need to provide evidence of God’s existence to you. Now let me tell you why. Logic dictates that lack of evidence for somethings existence is not evidence that it doesn’t exist in the same way lack of evidence that something doesn’t exist isn’t evidence that it does exist. So just because they can’t prove their god exists at doesn’t mean that he doesn’t exist. You dont have to believe as they do but you can’t say that they can’t believe. Before you try and use logic to tear someone down you should probably make sure you understand logic, and if you do understand it then shame on you for trying to deceive people.

  @Troll..
  
  why not try and educate yourself….read Thomas Acquinas or the works of the Ante-Nicene Fathers… or better yet… CS Lewis Mere Christianity and the Screw tape Letters….
  now…all of these works require that you actually can think logically and philosophically and have an open mind…which might be hard for someone that displays on a daily basis that they have no mind at all….other than what he/she/it prints out from the Daily KOS to reprint here….
  
  I would love to discuss the theories you believe are true..but I don’t like to criticize the religious beliefs of others and I only have 1400 characters…
  things like the theory of macro evolution – not Darwinism which was Natural Selection.
  things like the Big Bang Theory and the fact that even Hawking dumped 20 years of research and started over, stating that Einstein might have been right about the Universe and Quantum Mechanics
  things like the Nature of Man, morals, ethics, and values and the role of belief in a higher power in governing and guiding the course of Mankind to become civilized and stay that way…
  things like the statistical data and evidence that links the rise in teen pregnancy, drug use, murder, divorce, and abuse of all kinds directly to the systematic removal of God from all aspects of society, schooling, and the public arena
  
  but then again…I have better things to do like watching paint dry…

  Religion is not the “downfall” of man kind. If you actually bothered to do ANY research into human history you’d know religion is one of the things we have to thank for our continued survival. It’s our ability to have faith in something when all evidence says you are wrong that pushes use to progress and improve our selves and make life better for future generations. We are designed for religion. It is human nature. It’s sad that people like you chose to embrace ignorance and ignore the entirety of human history.

By your comments you seem to, not think, that electronic-computing singularity will result in one world and or one ruler government or currency nor give any view on topic; also that all in the Bible is out dated made up story, but you agree that it is about 2000 years old; True test of any philosophy or theorem is its abilities to remain useful in its field and others, to predict in detail, longevity; in religion The Bible has been used for 1900+ years by billion+ people usefully teaching that trust, loving others, and forgiveness helps person and relationships; Jn3:16;GAL5:14;MT18:21-35. REV 13:8 all who dwell on the earth will worship him…17 no one should be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast..; 9:6..in those days men will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die and death flees from them (think modern medicine plus). 2000Years ago prediction one world ruler government and purchasing control. There is only one book that original details predictions 200+ years before hand. Only Christianity does God show mercy and come to us and died for us. May you trust in resurrected Jesus who died for your sins for everlasting Life.

The question is will they carry on with us……or without us. I know this will piss off alot of the religious folk on here, but mankind is a stepping stone. The universe is trying to understand itself……Ray is on track, but he leaves out the negatives. Hopefully man and machine can work it out, but seeing how man and man are working together, ain’t holding out much hope.

  Old Truckers,
  
  There is a prophecy in Psalms that indicates God’s purpose for us:
  
  10And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;
  And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.
  
  11But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
  And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
  Psalms 37:10-11
  
  And this; 13But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell. – 2 Peter 3:13
  
  Peace and righteousness will be the future for the earth, in God’s Kingdom. Is computer technology necessary for this future where mankind will be peaceful and right with God? Will man’s present course get us there?

  I cannot speak for others, just myself. I have come to the conclusion that all we see, feel, taste, and hear was designed, and engineered to serve it’s own function in such a symbiotic fashion that it concludes upon me to recognize a designing force, a Creator. Everything I see and experience shows proof of a powerful, almighty God behind it all. As I contemplate the items around me, I logically see design in these inanimate products. A simple thing like a paper clip had a designer. How much more the designer and engineer of our eyeballs. There is of course much more I can say but this is not the place for that. I am not the one to prove to you the existence of Jehovah God, you are the one who has that responsibility as one of His creations.

  @TROLLMONGER Okay, child, enough of your ranting. Your statement: “I cant prove that. Thats why Im agnostic. But as a believer you are required to prove existence of your god. If you cant then you are a liar or just naive!!!!”
  
  One: An agnostic QUESTIONS the existence of God, an atheist DENIES the existence…you need to figure out which you actually are.
  
  Secondly, a person with faith (which is ***belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence***), by definition, does NOT need to prove that God exists. That is why it’s called a “leap of FAITH”.
  
  It’s just like the faith you place in God NOT existing. It’s your wager.

  Hebrews 11:1-3 explains what faith is;
  
  1Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld. 2For by means of this the men of old times had witness borne to them.
  3By faith we perceive that the systems of things were put in order by God’s word, so that what is beheld has come to be out of things that do not appear.

  Romans 1:19-23 says;
  …what may be known about God is manifest among them, for God made it manifest to them.20For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable;21because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God nor did they thank him, but they became empty‐headed in their reasonings and their unintelligent heart became darkened.22Although asserting they were wise, they became foolish23and turned the glory of the incorruptible God into something like the image of corruptible man and of birds and four‐footed creatures and creeping things.
  
  Verse 23 reminds us of the evolution theory and its attempt to explain away God’s existence or creator-ship.

  TROLLMONGER,
  You ask for proof of God’s existence but the simple truth is that concrete proof is not given to man because man is required to have faith in order to test where his heart truly lies and in order to allow man the optimal use of his own free will.
  Let me ask you something now. Are you married or do you have some kind of a significant other? If not now, have you ever been in a loving relationship with any other person before? How do you prove that the other party in that relationship loves you? How do you show concrete proof that the other person isn’t just acting out of some self-serving desire or sense of duty or obligation? How can you concretely prove that the you have true feelings of love for that other person? You can’t. The fact is that such things can not ever be proven and having any level of a loving relationship with anyone requires, yep you guessed it, faith. Understanding God is no different. We have no concrete proof that we can give you but much as you feel love for somebody else and you feel their love for you, those who exercise faith in God can likewise feel God’s love for them and His influence in their lives. I’ve made several assumptions about you here though in assuming you know what a loving relationship is. I hope you do. If not, you won’t understand a single thing I say and it is no surprise that so much of what you say sounds so negative. I hope you can find some faith somewhere, I would hate going through life in uncertainty.

  @SOMETHING IS WRONG Wonderful analogy, thank you! Makes the abstract meaningful.
  
  So many atheists want proof of God in material form, as a chilly end product of an intellectual exercise/math equation. They’ve had it drilled into them that our emotions are nothing more than a byproduct of biological impulses. Consequently, emotions are nothing to value, especially as a navigational guide in life. Even love is suspect –deemed as inconsequential as specific hormones for social/maternal bonding. With that kind of cynicism, how could one trust anything? BELIEVE in anything?
  
  Here’s a bit of armchair psychology (no offense, but if the shoe fits….): The atheists I’ve known are deeply unsettled individuals, usually male, typically from a fractured family background (featuring an absent/defective relationship with father). These unfortunate people often come across as “educated”, arrogant, disdainful, misanthropic, and darkly “witty” (as they sip their morning coffee over a delivered copy of the New York Times), but that’s cover for deep personal insecurities resulting from an unstable emotional past and lack of deep certainty about the future.
  
  We have a perfect storm: An emerging generation of those steeped in cynicism, hostility towards/elimination of God in public life (pop culture+government+educational system) combined with the demographics of broken families and the growing numbers of the faithless who eagerly trade God for the embrace of Big Government.

I’ve been saying this is where we are heading for 40 years, back when I was in college and taking computer classes. It seems to be a natural progression. I’ve always talked about having a chip behind the ear, but that was only to give people a simple visual concept. When I saw the Skynet concept it fit right in. Imagine the intellect that computers that can move around and create computers/machines/weapons of their liking have. They can all connect into a worldwide net. Will they discover or create a religion for them. Will they create their own society, take off for space, be altruistic, hostile, etc. So much to hypothesize. Is man not just the neanderthal monkey in the evolutionary process. Thousands of questions.
Back then, and still today I believe we will have 2 types of people, those that do, and the purists. Didn’t expect it to happen for maybe a few hundred years though. Interesting times. Wish I would be here to see it. And we are creating it. Screwy.

Not on my watch? What if they download, permanently, ways to torture and kill people? Ways to live like a Muslim, a cannibal, a porn star, a drunk? The singularity when men loose the freedom of will, should be the most avoidable point in the future, not the most sought after?

That’s why you can never embrace such technology, because then men become the biological computers, and viewed like operating systems and slaves to do things artificial beings can not do? You want to download yourself into a black hole of no return?

On some levels, automation HAS made it possible for people not to have to work, otherwise we would not have so many people on food stamps, and the next generation of accountants and politicians are going to have to wrap their arms around that and make the system better, not worse?

  Faith is the most basic element of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I don’t need to prove it to you or to anyone else for me to know it is true. I’m sorry you have missed out on the blessings available to you through having faith in Jesus Christ, but its not too late for you Turdmuncher. The gospel is available to all, but you have to make the choice; we can’t do it for you, that’s not how it works.

  Grats Troll. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen you give an opinion. You always just complain about the opinions of others. Grats again.

  Troll……read “the singularity is near” fantastic book. Perfect for libs because he only looks at the possitive side of all this wonderful technology. Yeah we can inject nano bots into someone to cure cancer. Nothing could possibly go wrong with a billion little robots in your bloodstream. You go first. I love Ray, I’ve met Ray, but he over looks the incidious side of technology. Grow up man…..do some research and stop living off of talking points.

  From a historical perspective, whether you believe in ‘sky god’ or not; what I find most troubling is that the believers rarely take the time to properly study their Holy book…..for themselves.
  ‘The Rapture’ is never mentioned in *any* canonical text…Neither Hebrew nor Greek. It is simply part of a dispensationalist/futurist concept introduced by Jesuit scholars as part of the Counter-Reformation (to reel in the Protestant movement.) It worked.
  Sadly, regardless of religion (or lack thereof); religious believers rarely open their minds to study factual history individually…and instead simply take the words of their spiritual leaders as pre-determined fact during their weekly Friday/Saturday/Sunday meetings.

  2minuteman,
  
  you ask me to accept your god. And then in the next sentence you call me a name. Well now your form of indoctrination is not so convincing. Maybe you should ask your prophet Beck for lessons. He is the king of converting weak minds into believing the world is going to end everyday.

  What do you care what we “right wingers” think. I dont go on the huffpo comments section and hurl insults at the mindless idiots who willingly vote for someone to steal their hard earned money and give away their future to an invasion of immigrants. You call everyone in here old so you must be a young moron. That is good because you will live to see my people dominate this country and run the mayates out of it. We will restore America to it’s former glory. By the way we are going to send plenty of Mexicans to New York to rebuild and change the demographics there.

You’re kidding, right? Anyone out there ever read Dr Richard Swenson’s book, “Hurtling Toward Oblivion: A Logical Argument for the End of the Age” ? Awesome book. I believe that human kind will not longer exist by 2040.

  Typical negative outlook by a typical right wing pessimist. Pessimism by your likes will destroy humanity.

  You are the most negative personality in here. Libs by nature are miserable in their pointless failed little lives. Always hating people who are more successful than themselves. That is why you jerkoffs vote for revenge rather than for country.

  Ya this guy is popping too many pills. He’s technically 65, maybe looks 55 at best, but talks like he’s 95 and on pain killers. He also doesn’t seem to have a clue of what’s happening in the world around him. He may be able to predict technology but he doesn’t have a clue about social and political present or future.

This could solve the problem of exhausting the social security trust fund, assuming all those enhanced cyborgs keep on working.

Just proves to me that “evolution” is an ever-continuing progressive step backwards, not forwards.

  TSUNAMI:
  
  You just showed us that you, just like so many others, don’t get what evolution is. Evolution is simply change over time in response to external pressures. That is all it is. It has no direction. there is no such thing as devolution. That’s a junk term. Things evolve to continued survival just as easily as they evolve to their extinction. We are like any other species. We change for our own survival. What works today may not work tomorrow and will necessitate a change.

  We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. We will add your biological and technilogical distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile.

  Those “external pressures” you speak of are often caused by “evolution”. The more humanity evolves, the closer we get to destroying ourselves.
  
  Humanity is a violent species. Evolution of a violent species doesn’t make humanity less violent, it just gets better at disguising and rationalizing the violence.
  
  The more advanced we strive to be, the less better-off we seem to become.
