Immortality Through Technology, Exploring the Singularity with Ray Kurzweil
Time, has always been and will always be, the most valuable asset.
I love investing. Every investor who strives to understand their craft to the fullest, ends up at the undeniable conclusion that time is the most valuable asset, bar none. Without it, nothing else of value can exist, it's the magic ingredient. We can leave value behind for our loved ones, but on an individual level, this intangible asset is a requirement to value and enjoyment as a life form.
Life expectancy is increasing at an exponential rate, similar to Moore's law
Technological innovation and growth can be compared to a snowball rolling down a mountainside, growing faster with each rotation, while speeding up simultaneously. Moore's Law has held for decades, some say we will hit a wall in silicon transistor shrinking, but the advent of graphene has recently given new light on how this can continue on. New materials, will keep the acceleration of processing power and shrinking of those technologies, intact.
Life expectancy has been following a similar path to computing power when it comes to growth. One could expect to live to be 19 years old in 1000 A.D., to 37 years old in 1800. About a 180 years later in the 1980's we doubled that to 74 years. Today we are sitting at 84.3 years for men and 86.6 years for women. This data is real and a testament to what our future could look like.
Inventor and Futurist Ray Kurzweil is an Expert in the Technological Integration he calls the Singularity
We are approaching a point where we will start adding more years to life expectancy than time that is passing. This will be effectively the beginning of an era of human immortality. Whether we move our consciousness to a more bio mechanical artificial body, or maintain our own bodies with nano technology our immortality is on it's way.
