Transcendental Man
I was sorry to have missed "Transcendental Man" at the theaters with Ray Kurzweil talking with a group of famous thinkers and technologists about the quick movement towards the capacity for humans to become technologically immortal soon (by 2045). Bill Gates calls Kurzweil "the most technologically prescient man he has met" because Kurzweil predicted the internet 20 years before it happened. And, like that he is now predicting human immortality by 2045. As an intuitive I see Kurzweil is right. All progress of mankind has always been fitful and in spurts. Even the invention of the gasoline engine, Steam engine and diesel engine which revolutionized travel on air, land and sea were fitful in their beginnings and unexpected by most people completely. When the Wright brothers took off the first time so that heavier than air flight began many people who witnessed it couldn't believe it but then they had to. Human technological immortality will be a lot like watching the Wright brothers take off in their first plane. People won't believe it at first and then will just have to get used to it.
