I think the big issue is it gets easier for anyone to kill everyone as technology advances. Where the ability to produce WMD is currently restricted to state entities, this will change. I think Mr. Kurzweil is wrong in one respect, the singularity will happen much faster, I think the tech growth curve is deeper and I pick between 2020 and 2025

Kurzweil has dealt with all of these “Black Swan” arguments before. His point is that his Law of Accelerating Returns is a constant that is barely affected by world events. For example, the Great Depression made only a slight impact on the rate of technological progress, and it quickly caught up after the Depression ended.

As far as the argument that computers will never be as smart as humans, well, that is an age-old argument, and the only possible response to that is that we’ll have to wait and see. However, computers are already doing things that people 15 years ago said were hundreds of years away.

Plus, as Kurzweil points out, the problem is being attacked from multiple angles: not only is software getting better but accelerating progress in brain scanning is lending new insights in how the brain works, which may be able to be emulated in computers.

Edgar Casey predicted just the opposite. We will go back to a more natural lifestyle.

Kurzwell is probably correct and this is why the UN is so cleverly and quietly putting together a treaty for all member nations (including the USA) to sign in December (yes, next month) that will enable the UN to control the internet as we know it. Big fees, no free exchange of ideas or opinions – just another way of controlling the masses who do not agree with the idea of a world takeover…..or New World Order as some call it. America is, again, asleep at the wheel, I fear.
