Ray Kurzweil: How technology's accelerating power will transform us

sneaksuit Says:

Sep 13, 2011 - Socialism and communism still have money so they are not what I'm speaking of. The future I am talking about will allow us to be MORE of an individual and we will have MORE freedom as there will be NO laws. There won't need to be when we realise that hurting each other doesn't get us anywhere. BTW, the way we live is not natural. It is the cause of all crime and mental disease.

Sep 23, 2011 - @sneaksuit Most socialist and communist countries are very poor, so they don't have money. The only socialist countries with money are the ones with a high amount of natural resoures to sell that counters the negative effects of socialism on their country.

Sep 23, 2011 - @firespinguy There is no communist government on Earth. And socialism still uses a monetary system which hinders growth. Money=classes=war, poverty, starvation, pollution, natural resource extraction independant of sustainability

firespinguy Says:

Sep 23, 2011 - @celticcrisis So far only capitalism works, it is the one system that brought the most people out of poverty and advanced society the most. Also if you didn't know the only reason humans advanced to this point was because of a monetary system. Before then humans was still living in primitive barter societies. If you want to see a society without a monetary system today look at the amazon tribes. No human is going to do stuff for free and barter societies are inefficient.

Oct 29, 2011 - @Crewl8808 It's funny, because I have noticed this same thing about him in quite a few of his interviews as well. He always seems to have to burp.

Oct 31, 2011 - @firespinguy Really? Norway has a budget surplus of 40 billion where do you get your data?

firespinguy Says:

Nov 1, 2011 - @JefferySchmitz Scandinavia countries like Norway are not true examples of socialism working because they are cheating with a lot of natural resources and unique locations for such small countries. Norway have oil and other natural resources to counter the negative effects of socialism and Norway's population is only 5 million. So other countries can not replicate what Norways or nearby scandinavia countries does. Also scandinavia is not known for innovation, which is a product of capitalism

Nov 8, 2011 - @seemysig what? look at it

alexanderkirkegaard Says:

Nov 14, 2011 - @firespinguy I should say that norway holds plenty of patents in regards to innovation.. as do the other scandinavian countries

Nov 15, 2011 - wait until the price curve finds carbon nano tubes. they'll be cheap quicker than they say these days.

firespinguy Says:

Nov 17, 2011 - alexanderkirkegaard It could be, but it is still not known around the world for innovation. I am not bashing Norway, this is just reality. When talking about location encouraging innovation or the latest inventions scandinavian countries are not the first thing people think about.

Jan 3, 2012 - Homosexual activists understand the power of words.Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.

Jan 6, 2012 - @Crewl8808 He does that a lot, I think it's due to all the pills he eats every day.

Nashhinton Says:

Feb 10, 2012 - @ebze70, He's saying that Moore's law will cause normal desktop computers to disappear and become obsolete by 2020-2022 in which the next generation of computers will look totally different than what they are now. The next generation of computers (possibly quantum computers) will be invented afterwards.

Feb 11, 2012 - @ebze70 the only thing wrong with that, hes only thinking that because he wants to be alive when it all goes down so hes predicting earlier because of ego and human traits that not even he can control
