Ray Kurzweil Quote

"Being a Singularitarian is not a matter of faith but a matter of understanding."

"Being a Singularitarian has often been an alienating and lonely experience for me because most people I encounter do not share my outlook. Most 'big thinkers' are totally unaware of this big thought. In a myriad of statements and comments people typically evidence the common wisdom that human life is short, that our physical and intellectual reach is limited, and that nothing fundamental will change in our lifetimes. I expect this narrow view to change as the implications of accelerating change become increasingly apparent."
