More quotes by Ray Kurzweil
The past is over the present is fleeting we live in the future.
Ray Kurzweil
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.
Ray Kurzweil

Ray Kurzweil
The ethical debates are like stones in a stream. The water runs around them. You haven't seen any biological technologies held up for one week by any of these debates.
Ray Kurzweil
Intuition is linear our imaginations are weak. Even the brightest of us only extrapolate from what we know now for the most part, we're afraid to really stretch.
Ray Kurzweil
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.
Ray Kurzweil
We'll be able to have very intelligent, little robots with computers going inside our bloodstream, keeping us healthy from inside, destroying cancer at the level of one cell.
Ray Kurzweil
The profound aspect of technology is that once secrets are revealed, the magic doesn't disappear.
Ray Kurzweil
The key issue as to whether or not a non-biological entity deserves rights really comes down to whether or not it's conscious.... Does it have feelings?
Ray Kurzweil
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.
Ray Kurzweil
Nature, and the natural human condition, generates tremendous suffering. We have the means to overcome that, and we should deploy it.
