POPSKurzweil - The Movie
"(It would not matter much what Kurzweil thinks were it not for his globetrotting speaking tours and widely read books that have influenced much of the world's elite who also seem similarly bereft of a suitable education in the relevant sciences. Moreover, his meta message seems to be that we should just sit back and let technological geniuses like him fix every problem including climate change and resource depletion.) What Kurzweil misses is that humans became human-machine hybrids with the first stone spear tip, and that the results of our marriage with tools have been mixed. Not to worry, Kurzweil tells us in the film, "technology has been the only thing that's enabled us to overcome problems." There's not a hint of recognition that technological solutions have a habit of spawning new problems. There's not a hint of recognition that as we catapult into the digital and biotech ages, we are actually losing basic knowledge about how to interact with the Earth around us in ways not d

POPSThe Wonders of Man in the Age of Simulations. "The problem that confronts man in the 20th and now 21st centuries, as Hannah Arendt writes, is that we face the danger that we might so fully create and make our artificial world that we endanger that quality of human life which is subject to fate, nature, and chance. To bring oneself up to date on this current version of the debate over our human, superhuman, and inhuman futures, three recent books serve as excellent guides." The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology by Ray Kurzweil You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto by Jaron Lanier Simulation and Its Discontents by Sherry Turkle

POPSMind Transfer Here's an "encyclopedia" covering issues related to mind transfer technology. The purpose in mind transfer is to upload a human mind into a machine, or robot...something like what we see in the TV series Caprica". Love the idea or hate the idea, do be informed since serious research on it is underway. Oh, and do tell... love it or hate it or undecided?

POPSA.I. evolving 10 million times faster than human Brain! "non biological intelligence is growing exponentially. biological intelligence is not really growing at all. if it grows it grows in such low rate that it is unnoticeable. By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate." Ray Kurzweil

POPSDid you know? This is a great video everyone should take some time to watch. We see daily many different advances on science, technology, internet... Everywhere, journals, blogs, radio, TV, here, on Clipmarks, reading some very interesting clips about many new creations, advances, innovations, new things that we just find awesome. But at the end of the day, putting everything together, do we ask ourselves what does all this means in a more general context?

POPSImmortality only 20 years away says scientist No thanks, I don't want to live forever. "Ultimately, nanobots will replace blood cells and do their work thousands of times more effectively. "Within 25 years we will be able to do an Olympic sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath, or go scuba-diving for four hours without oxygen. "Heart-attack victims – who haven't taken advantage of widely available bionic hearts – will calmly drive to the doctors for a minor operation as their blood bots keep them alive. "Nanotechnology will extend our mental capacities to such an extent we will be able to write books within minutes. "If we want to go into virtual-reality mode, nanobots will shut down brain signals and take us wherever we want to go. Virtual sex will become commonplace. And in our daily lives, hologram like figures will pop in our brain to explain what is happening. "So we can look forward to a world where humans become cyborgs, with artificial limbs and organs."
