"you can't reconcile it in any other way except in that position of total surrender, total affirmation. "That's what it's all about. It says that none of this - you're not going to be able to work this thing out - you're not going to be able to set - this realm does not admit to revolution - there's no solution to this mess. The only moment that you can live here comfortably in these absolutely irreconcilable conflicts is in this moment when you embrace it all and you say 'Look, I don't understand a f***ing thing at all - Hallelujah!' That's the only moment that we live here fully as human beings."" - winckel from Bookmarklet

That´s what you get when you try to protect yourself from kurzweilian fallout: Humor or boredom. I prefer humor. - Siggi Becker

Comment by Yudkowsky: "Kurzweil is an optimist, and in some ways a normalist, who chooses(?) not to discuss certain issues. He sees no role in the future for self-improving AI (or nanotech for that matter) except maintaining the current curve he draws for technological progress. Just as he sees technology as something that, for all its scariness, is always fundamentally going to be an amazing neat product you purchase at a store." - Siggi Becker

I find this sort of documents relevant in thinking about and not forgetting that all this accelerating technologies are manifesting in a world in which fundamentalist people like Palin are in danger of becoming vicepresident of a political and military superpower. Very disturbing. Very. - Siggi Becker

Just remembered an instance with Scoble effect: Last year he made big noise about some miniaturized robotic helis at Stanford. Wow and zing and zang incl Video at 9. But the market had already been eaten up by a company out of the german province up to Great Britain. - Siggi Becker
