Kurzweil talks about the Singularity, Backing Up Your Brain and Second Life on Colbert

Posted on April 13, 2011 by

In case you missed it, renowned futurist Ray Kurzweil was recently on the Colbert Report, blowing our collective minds talking about mind-computer integration, virtual worlds that are indistinguishable from the real one, and computers in our bloodstream.

All that in five minutes!  And it's really funny too.

The new documentary about Kurzweil, The Transcendant Man, looks really interesting, albeit with zoomy graphics to keep the popcorn audience engaged.

    Just FYI, it’s the “Colbert Report” not the Cobert Report. On the plus side, when people search for “Cobert Report” this blog post will have a chance of being found.
