Raymond Kurzweil is the man who accurately predicted the structure of the brain over 50 years ago. We could fill this entire site with pretty outlandish things he's said - the fact he might live forever would be near the top. Despite a scarcity of evidence, he was proved right about the brain. Now he says by 2030, through ingested nanobots, our brains will be connected to the immense processing power of the cloud and that humanity will see the largest growth in intelligence since 65 million years ago when mammals grew their neocortexes and realigned the course of evolution (spoiler alert: the dinosaurs were the wrong answer).



A truly, literally, mind-blowing video.



... incidentally, Raymond Kurzweil is now Google's Director of Engineering. So it's probably as likely as cars driving themselves, a computer beating the top contestants at natural language based game-shows and telepathic control.
