Ray Kurzweil Casually Drops a Bomb: 'One Day We Will Have Non-Biological Bodies'

Ray Kurzweil, futurist and head of AI for Google, is one of the most brilliant minds alive today. According to him, humans and machines will ultimately merge, with technology outliving biological organs and body parts. Thursday on radio, Glenn and his co-hosts listened to Kurzweil's matter-of-fact prediction.

"The machine part will be so powerful that it will completely be able to model and understand the biological part. So even if that biological part went away, it wouldn't make any difference," Kurzweil said. "We'll also have non-biological bodies."

GLENN: Can you play a little bit of Ray Kurzweil? We have to get to this later, perhaps tomorrow. Listen to how casually Ray Kurzweil talks about what's coming.

VOICE: Well, we're going to become increasingly non-biological to the point where the non-biological part predominates and the biological part is not that important anymore.

PAT: Sure.

VOICE: In fact, the non-biological part, the machine part, will be so powerful that it will completely be able to model and understand the biological part. So even if that biological part went away, it wouldn't make any difference.

GLENN: Now, listen to this.

PAT: Right.

VOICE: Because the non-biological part already understood it completely.

VOICE: Will we also have non-biological bodies?

GLENN: Sure.

VOICE: We can create bodies with nanotechnology. We can create virtual bodies and virtual reality.

GLENN: Right. Right.

(laughter)

PAT: He's so matter of fact.

We'll just all be machines.

GLENN: I know. And this is the head of AI at Google.

PAT: No more feelings for anybody in humankind.

GLENN: One of the greatest minds alive today.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And one of the guys that Stephen Hawking is like, warning. You know, just -- matter of factly said, we're not going to have biological bodies anymore. Wait. Wait. Ray, can you go back to that part?

PAT: Wait. What?

Why We Don’t Recognize Real Nazis Anymore | Konstantin Kisin | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 202

"TRIGGERnometry" co-host Konstantin Kisin grew up in the Soviet Union, so he knows what tyranny looks like. These days, it’s huge mobs of pro-Palestinian protesters prowling the streets, celebrating Hitler — literally. As Kisin tells Glenn: “The people who’ve spent seven years calling people Nazis can’t recognize actual Nazis when they see them.” He suggests that they be rewarded with a one-way ticket to Gaza. Speaking from his home in London — where hundreds of thousands of anti-Israel Brits marched in solidarity with anti-Semitism — Kisin warns Glenn that the situation is about to get even worse. Throughout this episode of “The Glenn Beck Podcast,” he exudes a palpable unease as he charts the telltale signs of a further societal demise, from the indoctrination that has overtaken the education system and the lack of religion to Russia’s war in Ukraine and the terrifying rise of anti-Semitism. He describes his evolution from a centrist-leaning political commentator to someone who sees the far Left for what it is: hateful and dangerous. But Kisin and Glenn’s discussion is not all doom and gloom. Kisin, who’s interviewed notable guests like Jordan Peterson and Bill Maher on his podcast, thinks that a course correction has already started taking place. For example, he tells Glenn why the collapse of the mainstream media is a good thing and why people should be hopeful that social media will someday be as taboo as cigarettes are today. He’s also optimistic about the future of comedy, especially here in America: “People are realizing that wokeness is not the solution to the crisis of meaning and purpose that many young people are suffering.”

Part 3 | ‘Chosen By Allah’: The Truth Behind Iran’s Mission to DESTROY The West | Rumors of War

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, recently told Hamas it would NOT enter into the war against Israel and that the terrorist group had not given Iranian officials any prior warning of its attack on October 7th. Hmm…do we REALLY believe that? Because, in reality, Iran has not only been funding Hamas for years, but it has also publicly declared a mission to destroy America — and its allies — ever since it became a theocratic nation decades ago. Iran is willing to use any means possible to complete this goal…nuclear weapons included. But why? Why is there so much hatred against the West and its allies? What’s fueling this goal? In this three-part series, which originally aired in 2011, you’ll learn about the history and the dangerous ideology behind Iran’s every move, the way Democrats and the Obama administration facilitated its progress, and just how close Iran is to its nuclear war goals…
