David did a nano to Goliath
The Vietnamese did a nano to the US
Chandrayan did a nano to NASA. Perhaps Virgin Galactic too.
Ratan Tata did a nano to automobiles
India did a nano to China in auto exports, by default
Raymond Kurtzweil is the champion of technological singularity who Bill Gates endorses as the smartest futurist around and Intel CTO, Rattner says ultimately machine intelligence could match human intelligence. I wonder whether it would match the average intelligence of sapiens or the smartest human around. perhaps that of Ray. In both cases I am not very thrilled because the average and the exceptionally intelligent equally fail to trigger my curiosity.

Ray predicts this to happen around 2029 when those who are 60 now will be able to live forever with the help of technology available by then. Perhaps nano robots will do the scavenging of your system and continually keep it in shape for ever.
I am 60 now and had decided sometime in 1990 that singularity always existed and will continue to exist. Perhaps, ultimately when technological and human singularities are aligned we could design an ideal future and translate this intoreality?
What is your choice, choose to wait for 2029 or start living now on the assumption that eternity is now and whether you make it to 2029 or not I want to have the most of now?
Even if technological singularity arrives sometime in the future, I could be run over by a city corporation bus on the least walker friendly roads of Bangalore during my daily grind of 7.2 Kms in 70 minutes and take the exit route. It could be today or tomorrow. Since I believe in human singularity rather than technological singularity I would have lived my days till that inglorious exit with the satisfaction that I lived a full life
I wonder, assuming technological singularity to be a reality in 2029, what would Ray be doing for an eternity to keep boredom at bay. I have never been bored since my shift to human singularity and every one of my decisions since are governed by the eternity time scale rather than my bonus at the end of the quarter.
