Mobile phones are misnamed. They should be called gateways to human knowledge.

What we spend our time on is probably the most important decision we make.

We only have to capture 1/10,000th of the solar energy landing on earth to completely satisfy all our energy needs.

As you go out to the 2040s, now the bulk of our thinking is out in the cloud. The biological portion of our brain didn't go away but the nonbiological portion will be much more powerful. And it will be uploaded automatically the way we back up everything now that's digital.

People talk philosophically, Oh, I don't want to live past 100.' You know, I'd like to hear them say that when they're 99.

Death is a great tragedy…a profound loss…I don’t accept it…I think people are kidding themselves when they say they are comfortable with death.
Ray Kurzweil
Image
Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it, and often consider its intrusion a tragic event. Yet we'd find it hard to live without it. Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.

It is doubling now every two years. Doubling every two years means multiplying by 1,000 in 20 years. At that rate we'll meet 100 percent of our energy needs in 20 years.

The story of evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction.

Humans feel deeply the suffering of their friends and allies and easily discount/dismiss the comparable experience of their enemies.

Inventing is a lot like surfing: you have to anticipate and catch the wave at just the right moment.

A lot of movies about artificial intelligence envision that AIs will be very intelligent but missing some key emotional qualities of humans and therefore turn out to be very dangerous.

I'm working on artificial intelligence. Actually, natural language understanding, which is to get computers to understand the meaning of documents.

As we gradually learn to harness the optimal computing capacity of matter, our intelligence will spread through the universe at (or exceeding) the speed of light, eventually leading to a sublime, universe wide awakening.

All of our schools need to bring 'learn from doing' into the mainstream education, not just afternoon.
