Take Me Where The Good Times Are

If you're not reading The Futurist, you need to be. It's the kind of blog I would write if I had the time, or the patience to talk about the newsstories that everyone is.

Especially interesting are

(1) This article on housing prices.

(2) This article on why we don't have to worry about a China Superpower until 2030, in which case the Rapture or the Singularity will have made the point moot.

(3) This article on why Mexican protestors are a more wholesome lot than French protestors. Along with this article, this blog has some of the most cogent thoughts on "illegal immigration" I've seen.

Comment and click on some of his webads while you're at it.

Protag -

Kurzweil strikes me as only perhaps one of the more brilliant of the atheist futurists. Is this a redundancy? Can one be both a futurist and a believer in the God of the Bible? Or are the latter necessarily Luddites?

I am familiar with Kurzweil from my teens, as a fan of music synthesizers. It used to be a dream to own a Kurzweil... 2000, I think it was. Phenomenal machine for the day.

But this belief that mankind will overcome - at least some of us doing so - is as flawed in 2045 as it was in the 18th century Enlightenment.

Let's learn from science what we can, but let's not turn it into Science.

What say you?
