Yeah, but Kurzweil has always been a little over-gonzo for the Singularity (and I say this owning ~$18k worth of products with his name on them). Jeron Lanier argues in You Are Not A Gadget that leftist technophiles are as absolutely batshit irrational about the Singularity as right-wing fundies are about the Rapture. There's a lot in common, that's for damn sure. Shit, I'm gonna post that.
