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.
Ray Kurzweil
Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
Ray Kurzweil
Intelligence is: (a) the most complex phenomenon in the Universe or (b) a profoundly simple process. The answer, of course, is (c) both of the above. It's another one of those great dualities that make life interesting.

The way to create value in the age of genius machines will be to compile and disseminate knowledge that other people will find useful.
Ray Kurzweil

Ray Kurzweil
The fate of the universe is a decision yet to be made, one which we will intelligently consider when the time is right.
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
Inventing is a lot like surfing: you have to anticipate and catch the wave at just the right moment.
Ray Kurzweil
Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020.
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
The need to congregate workers in offices will gradually diminish.
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
Biological evolution is too slow for the human species. Over the next few decades, it's going to be left in the dust.
Ray Kurzweil
If we could convert 0.03 percent of the sunlight that falls on the earth into energy, we could meet all of our projected needs for 2030.
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.
