I think that the passion of people like Kurzweil for advancing humanity is quite exciting and while I share his excitement I'm a little less optimistic, or rather I set my expectations lower. Unfortunately I haven't spent a lot of time looking at the bleeding edge technology and research related to the singularity but I absolutely love that we do have people motivated enough to pursue it even in the face of severe criticism and cynicism. It's a refreshing change of pace from pushing us to deliberately trigger the end of the world.
