It can be almost crippling to think on the possibilities of intelligence and existence extended. It may be the most fundamental human desire. Beyond just exciting the curious mind, the fantasy is so intimately entwined with our most basic self preservation instincts. Arguably the most interesting and important question human beings can tackle. No goals loftier. No stakes higher. If it has become religion for Kurzweil, insomuch as it has, I don't blame him one bit. This is where every religion humanity has ever know has come from.
